It's an interesting milestone for both Facebook and Google, and one that perhaps has always been on the cards, but Facebook's Android app now has more active daily users than the same app on iOS does. The news is made slightly more interesting when you remember that the Android version of the Facebook app was only made available in September of 2009 - more than 12 months after its iPhone-based cousin was made available.
With Android being the great big bag of open source love (usually!) that it is, we always knew this would happen, but it is worth noting anyway.
As promised, Google has started rolling out the official Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich to all Nexus S users out there. Being the latest iteration in the Android OS saga, it’s a free treat no one can deny. And here’s how you can get the update this very moment, details after the jump!
You're probably already well aware of what Grand Theft Auto III: 10th Anniversary Edition is, especially considering we only told you about the iOS version earlier into the day. Even though owners of iPhones, iPads and even iPod touches have been playing the game for a while already, those affiliated with Android can now also play along after the game went live on the Android Market.
When Apple released the iPhone 4S to the world, it was more than a new iPhone - it brought with it a new way of interacting with technology.

If you’re a platform-agnostic smartphone enthusiast who has had extensive playtime with the iPhone, Windows Phones and Android smartphones, you’ll probably have noticed how the former two mobile operating systems offer a much more “smoother” user-experience compared to the latter’s general “choppiness”. Well, it appears that Android will never be as smooth as iOS or Windows Phone 7 because of the way its very foundations were laid down back in 2005-2006. Details after the jump!
It's really not been a great week for mobile security. We've had the giant mess that is the Carrier IQ debacle, where a company appears to have at least the ability to monitor just about anything to do with a smartphone, and now we have a new Android security flaw that could potentially be just as troublesome.
In an interview with Sunday MIDDAY, a local TV program in India, Wozniak shared some pretty interesting thoughts on the success of Apple and the modern smartphones of today.
If you're one for benchmarking systems and comparing the results, then chances are you're familiar with the work that Futuremark puts in on the subject. While the benchmarking company is more know for testing CPU and graphics card speeds, they are also the ones behind a test that will benchmark the performance of web browsers, too.
