Hot on the heels of the news that 10 million Samsung Galaxy S4′s were sold in its first month comes the news that HTC was able to move more than 5 million HTC One‘s in almost the same period of time. To some this might look like half the Galaxy S4 sales (and in reality it is), but it is actually...

So, how about that HTC M4 huh? HTC has announced today that they are making the HTC Desire 600, a mid-range phone that will be heading first to Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East, and reports that there will be variants heading to China too. The Desire 600 will be the first phone outside of the HTC...

Ever since the introduction of AOKP, then the boom of the PACman Roms, AOSP builds with a thousand features from different roms loaded into one has become somewhat of a… well, accepted practice, if not expected. It is the norm to expect an all inclusive rom on your device. Nothing wrong with that,...

Opera for Android recently updated their mobile browser and dropped their beta tags, and today Chrome answered with some updates of their own. Updates include performance enhancements and some bug fixes. Search queries are now included in the omnibox. Users can view and refine more results in their...

Earlier this month, we wrote about the announcement of a game coming to us from Sawfly Studios called Men’s Room Mayhem. Well, that game is almost upon us, coming to the world via the PlayStation Vita, iOS and of course, Android. Publisher Ripstone has announced that the game will be launching...

One of the most well-known electronics companies in the world has finally entered the smartphone market. Panasonic has this week launched its first smartphone offering called the Panasonic P51, a 5-inch, quad-core offering which comes with Android 4.2.2. Key features of the P51 are: 1.2GHz quad-core...

ParkMe was started as a startup to make real-time parking information available to us all, first on the Web, then on iOS, and now finally on Android. In concept at least, the ParkMe app appears to be incredibly handy; who knows how many times I’ve been stuck in a new neighbourhood not knowing where...

Made you look! Ok, so we’re not actually talking about the highly anticipated 5.0 build of Android. But we are talking about Google I/O. Rather than the fully fledged software build we’ve all be dying to get our sweaty hands on, throughout the event were easter eggs that served only to whet...

Fresh off of the purchase of Tumblr, Yahoo announced some changes to Flickr in a press event in New York today. Changes include a redesign, a free terabyte of storage and a new Android app. Starting with the redesign, Flickr’s white space is scrapped for a larger photo grid. The background and...

About a month ago, we covered a preview for the game Quadropus Rampage, a new game from Butterscotch Shenanigans. In the month since then, the game has entered the Beta stage and quite a few things have changed in the game, so we’ll go through a few of those things now. The menus have been completely...

Fighting games, or “button-bashers” as they are fondly known as, are far and few between on Android as the act of bashing buttons is significantly less satisfying on touchscreens (disclaimer: is probably not the actual reason for lack of fighting games). Also quite rare are games that fully...

If I said the words “random gun generation”, what game does that make you think of? For many of you gaming folk, it would probably remind you of the triple-A title Borderlands, but after this reading about this new Kickstarter project, you might start associating that phrase with a game called...

There is one game from my childhood that I got so frustrated with I almost threw away my GameBoy. That game was Karateka. Many of you will remember Karateka from even further back than that and will reminisce about it very fondly. Although there has been a remake released this year for consoles, the...

While watching the live feed of Google I/O 2013 (still bummed I couldn’t go) I saw them demo a game on Google Chrome. This game is called Racer. It is the same concept as the slot car racing games because it allows you to go as fast as you want by tapping and holding down on your screen. Now...

With Google I/O literally hours away, there has been news that Google will likely be announcing a music streaming service, which aims too compete with the likes of Spotify and other like services. This news isn’t so much a surprise as it is an inevitability with a Google music streaming service...
