So here we are awaiting the announcement from the Apple people. I’m choosing to stay clear of it this afternoon [besides I'm busy at work], but I thought about what does this mean for the Android users out there? What we do know is that many more new smartphone buyers are buying android. 56% of…

Adobe just updated their flash player for Android to 11.0.1.152. What does this mean? Probably nothing to you or me, mostly ‘under the hood’ offerings. They have a full list here on their site; however, not sure which pertains specifically to the android version.  I do note they put a “flash not supported for iOS…

In my last post, I talked about the releasing of the new iPhone and how we ready ourselves for their latest “innovation” [i use the bunny quotes quite literally there].

Adobe just had [and is still having] their MAX conference and at it they just announced several new Android ‘touch apps’.  Now they are only for Honeycomb [atm...

Gmail Updates to 2.3.5.2 1

Just a quick little update here, as there isn’t much to go on. Google updated their Gmail app for Android recently to 2.3.5.2, but only offering minor bug fixes. The Gmail app has been long overdue for an update, but sadly it dosen’t change anything to do with blocking 3rd party apps that many people…

Tired of Your Stock Clock and Calculator Apps? 0

One of the first thing I noticed after I installed CyanogenMod7 with Android 2.3.4 on my Rogers Samsung Captivate was the sucky Clock and Calculator apps. The ones on the TouchWiz 2.2.1 interface I had before rooting and flashing my phone actually had full functionality, like a stopwatch, a timer, and a scientific option for…

Google Chrome Making its way to Android 4

I have asked the question several times throughout my Android experience, “Where is Google Chrome, this is a Google phone after all.”  It looks like my questing finally has an answer.  There’s mention on the Chromium revision log that Chrome for Android will include a lot of the features that your accustomed to on the…
