Exciting App Updates
by Pedram on August 19th, 2010

Not a whole lot going on in the world of Android for us Canadians as of late but there’s been some updates to a few key applications and I thought I’d run them down for you in case you missed one. I have also listed the minimum firmware requirement beside each app. Also worthy of mention: all the apps below are FREE, that’s a good price.

Facebook for Android. This one … Read More

Voice Actions For Android Released
by Pedram on August 16th, 2010

I’ve always been highly impressed by Android’s voice features. I use it constantly when I’m at home or in quiet environments. You just really can’t beat the speed of your own speech no matter how fast you can type on a phone. I’ve found it to be extremely accurate throughout my use.

Now if you happen to have a special phone running 2.2 Froyo (like me!), Google has now extended these voice commands. … Read More

Where Is My Android Tablet?
by Pedram on August 15th, 2010

We’ve discussed it before but it’s been some time and we’re still waiting like we were back then. When are we going to see a respectable Android tablet? See, Android is based on Linux and it’s very open. Theoritically, you could throw Android on anything and not really have to pay for it. But then there’s the Google Marketplace.

The Marketplace is Google’s own. It’s where you download your apps. … Read More

Poll: How Much Data Do You Use?
by Pedram on August 14th, 2010

I know this has been done before but I really want to get a taste of how much data Canadian Android users utilize on a monthly basis. Our data plans vary from other countries like the U.S. and so does our usage with data. And Android users are different than iPhone users so the results won’t necessarily be the same as every other poll out there.

Personally, I have a Read More
