Most of you looking to get your hands on Samsung's latest Galaxy S III smartphone will still be waiting, but courtesy of the intuitive folks over at XDA, it's already been rooted. As was the case with the Galaxy S, S II and the larger-than-life Galaxy Note, it doesn't have a locked bootloader, so the task of acquiring root was automatically that tidbit easier.
Grand Theft Auto is a classic title, and when Rockstar Games released a 10th Anniversary Edition of GTA III for iOS (and subsequently Android), mobile games far and wide felt the nostalgia crawling back. The title, which has taken a great amount of flak over the years for its often unnecessary degrees of violence, has enjoyed a warm welcome into the mobile arena, and the port, which is almost identical to the PC version from over a decade ago, plays rather nicely with the touch controls.
It was only a few weeks ago when Google pushed out an eye-candy version 2.0 update for its Google+ app for the iPhone. Although it’s the best update to the Google+ app we’ve seen so far, but it was somewhat strange to see that the iPhone version was released first instead of the Android version.
Google Will Reportedly Release 5 New Nexus Devices On 5th November To Commemorate 5 Years Of Android
Last week, we skimmed over a report which suggested a wave of Nexus devices would be releasing this fall and sold directly through the Google Play Store, and now TalkAndroid has added a little more info to the pot by revealing that the devices will be released on November the 5th.
Beginning with mere text chat back in the days of IRC, communicating online via voice and video has now become commonplace, and thanks to the likes of Skype and FaceTime, it's never been so easy to have a face-to-face conversation with friends and relatives across the world from many different devices.
For those who are fans of the Mass Effect series - and let's be honest, there are plenty of you out there - you may have to be prepared to dedicate a larger portion of your life to Commander Shepard as gaming giants Electronic Arts have pushed out Mass Effect Infiltrator to the Google Play Store for Android Devices.
How many times have you forgotten to send an email, make a phone call or send a text message? If you're anything like us, then you're probably forgetting way more often than you are remembering. It's pretty important stuff, too. Forgetting to send a happy birthday text can cause more trouble than you would ever imagine, and we've all been there.
Despite actually being an altogether solid OS revision, Ice Cream Sandwich has struggled to reach the number of devices Google would have liked. Up until a couple of months ago, when Samsung's Galaxy S II began getting a taste of Android 4.0, the total number of Android devices running the latest firmware was around one percent - which is, by anybody's reckoning - disastrous.
From a software perspective, the most sought feature of the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S III is undoubtedly the S Voice feature, which is a similar implementation to Apple's Siri voice assistant, which launched along with iOS 5 and the iPhone 4S back in October. That's not the only new feature on the S III's list of exclusives, and thankfully for those not planning to invest in the yet-to-be-released, uber powerful device, the Android community is frantically trying to extract the goodies from the ROM leaked earlier this week, and so far, it has been a pretty fruitful venture.
Keeping track of your finances is never an easy thing, especially for us geeks. We are always buying apps, coffee and all the other trappings of being a geek. It's an expensive business, even before you start factoring in all the phones, computers and tablets we like to keep buying.
