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...

One of my primary gripes with Google Glass at its launch was the fact that it did not cater to individuals that already wear prescription glasses; as someone who has to constantly wear glasses, I already have enough trouble trying to watch 3D movies. There have been murmurs and reports that Google has...

Two days have already passed at Google I/O, and the white Nexus 4 is nowhere to be found. Fortunately, our friends over at AndroidAndMe have gotten their hands on the device, and has heard from their sources that the white version of the Nexus 4 will be released on June 10th, alongside a new version...

Upgrades to Google’s AdMob will be rolling out today. Google will be working on bringing AdMob up to speed with their other ad platforms, like AdWords and AdSense. Starting out, AdMob will be receiving Conversion Optimizer, a feature of AdWords. Conversion Optimizer works by  having advertisers...

Today at Google I/O, Google officially announced its new games service, Google Play Games, and this was very exciting because we didn’t see this coming. Google announced that Google Play Games would have features such as achievements, leaderboards, cloud data sync and real-time multiplayer which...

Today was a good day in the Android world. A lot of us were satisfied by today’s event. A lot were disappointed. I for one felt it was a good keynote. My only real surprise was no Android 4.3, but I was more looking for to the Google Hangouts messaging service. Let us know what your favorite...

And, it is up. We won’t waste much of your time with useless writing on this one. The nearly 4 hours of Google goodness that many of us sat through already once today, is now up on the GoogleDevelopers YouTube channel for viewing. We will let you click in and spend the rest of your evening oohing...

The much anticipated universal messaging app is finally here! Google Hangouts (Babel) has finally been unveiled, and it will be made available to us later today, along with the new Google+. Google Hangouts is everything we were hoping it would be. You can have single or group conversations, where...

Google+ will be getting a nice little UI overhaul later today, as well as adding 41 additional features. The new UI has a very Google Now card-like quality to them, as well as taking an animation effect that is reminiscent of Flipboard. Now they did not go over all the features that we will be getting...

The rumor has been confirmed. Google has announced that a Samsung Galaxy S4 running stock Android will be available for purchase in the Play Store starting June 26th.

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...

There have been rumours and stories of a white Nexus 4 ever since the phone was released to much fanfare last year, however many of those reports turn out to be very professional looking custom jobs. In fact just this week, there yet another spotting of a white Nexus 4, sadly relegated to the halls...

This probably won’t be the last rumour you hear before the start of Google I/O but it is definitely one of the more interesting ones so far and doesn’t involve the Moto X Phone. There is a rumour circulating that Samsung and Google have been knocking boots to create a Galaxy S4 with stock...

Just in case you were camping out for Android news before Google I/O, which I know you all are, a new version of the Google Play Store has gone live, updating the 4.0.27 Store to 4.1.6. Apart from very minor cosmetic changes, like the different store buttons changing colour scheme and the assumed performance...

We are less than a day away from the from Google I/O, and if you were wondering where you can watch the keynote tomorrow, we got it for you. Not like it was hard to find, but just incase you did not want to search for it, the link to the Google Developers channel is shown below. The keynote will begin...
