[Update] Iris: Is it Androids response to Siri?

Well, sort of. If you’re at all like me, you couldn’t help but feel slightly outdone when Apple released their shiny new iPhone4s. No, not because of its operating system or specs, but for a little app that comes bundled with it called Siri.  For those who are for some reason unaware of...

I am certain that many of you have sat and watched the full announcement video at least once, if not more than once. With the announcement came so many new features, additions and enhancement that a few things weren’t even mentioned. Of course the Galaxy Nexus and ICS should have probably had...

Voice Widget (Free version) – Looks pretty but doesn’t make life Better

I’ll be honest, at first I had no idea what I was getting into as I began to test the waters with this new widget, but I decided to move forward with it. Sadly, I wish I hadn’t. Sit tight, kids! You’re in for a nightmare with this one. Like all widgets, there is no application to launch....

720p isn’t just eye-candy

    The screen on the Galaxy Nexus is there for more than just good looks. I’m not sure why this has not been stated, or how it has been overlooked. Bear in mind that Google has stated that ICS will be the official merger of phones and tablets for Android, I guess with all the other...
