Today’s free app through the Amazon Appstore is SwiftKey X, an awesome keyboard for Android that makes virtual typing easier and quicker. The SwiftKey X app normally costs $3.99 in the Android Market, but for the next 12 hours or so, Amazon will be giving away the app for free through its Appstore. Unfortunately, the version Amazon has for free is not compatible with tablets, only with Android smartphones running Android 2.1 or higher. Even if you are perfectly content with Swype or your stock Android keyboard, I would recommend at least giving SwiftKey X a whirl, especially since it… Full Story » | Written by Natesh Sood for . | Comment on this Article »
 
We have some good news for T-Mobile G2x owners, as it looks like the official Gingerbread update is already rolling out to devices everywhere. Apparently, LG announced the software would come out this summer, in a forum post earlier today, and now we are already seeing reports of users downloading Android 2.3.3 or GRI40. Perhaps there was a bit of misunderstanding between the employee who wrote the post and the person who gave the order. In any event, the update is reportedly 178MB, and you can download the update using LG’s proprietary update software. If you own a G2x on… Full Story » | Written by Natesh Sood for . | Comment on this Article »

This smartphone will be put up for sale on August 3, 2011 for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a two-year contract.

Just as we expected, Bell officially launched the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G today much to the anticipation of excited Canadian customers. The price of the Galaxy S II 4G is $169.95 on a three year agreement, which is probably going to be the most popular option given the expensive price of the other options.

The purported Motorola Defy+ features the bands 850 / 1900 / 2100 giving rise to the possibility it will launch with AT&T. Even though it is the Defy’s successor, it is only a mild upgrade as only the OS and processor are improved over the original. The original Defy runs Android 2.2, whereas the Defy+ is going to launch with Android 2.3.3, which is the expected norm of Android smartphones these days. In addition, it receives a processing speed… Full Story » | Written by Natesh Sood for . | Comment on this Article »
 
The Google+ team has recently posted a nice update on (where else)—Google+ and in that posting they offered a look at what we may be seeing happen and come available next week. Of course, the key words here being “may” happen and the generic timeframe of “next week.” That said, the goodies look to include a Windows Phone 7 app, better integration with Google Chat and for those who are super popular—the removal of the 5000 circle cap. With that, here is the full list as posted on the Google Plus Blog; 1. Ability to modify circles a post is… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for . | Comment on this Article »
 
One of the key features of Google+ has been circles. Circles allow users to separate their contacts easily and eliminates the requirement to share all of your thoughts and content with everyone you are associated with. Circles seemed like Google's take on making groups, but that's not the case. A grouping feature is coming to Google+ thanks to Google's recent acquisition of a company named Fridge. Fridge describes itself as "Simple personal networks that anyone can instantly create to share photos, messages, and events with specific friends and groups." Today, Fridge announced it had been purchased by Google. The remaining… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for . | Comment on this Article »
 
It looks like Amazon has rolled out another update for their Amazon MP3 app for Android. The latest brings the app up to version 2.0.10 and the requirements for use still include Android 1.6 or later and 1.6M for installation space. In terms of the new features, the ones that stand out for us are the “Latest Purchases” and the “Latest Uploads” playlists. But we suppose the bug fixes are also more than welcomed. Anyway, here is the complete change log as per the details found in the Android Market; Automatic Downloads now won’t download previous purchases, only new Fixed… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for . | Comment on this Article »
 
Today is a good day to pick up the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play from Verizon. The price of the phone has been dropped to $99.99 with a new two-year contract.

Still, there's no other smartphone out there that has better physical hardware for playing games like the Xperia Play. Just to keep things fair, you should know that there are cheaper ways to acquire an Xperia Play if you're willing to go through a third-party.

Officials at Foxconn, the Chinese company that makes the iPhone for Apple, announced that earlier this week a 21-year old employee killed himself by jumping from a 6th story window. While it appears to be another in a long string of tragic suicides, the company is saying it was an accident and that the employee, whose name has not been released, was drunk at the time. Last year over a dozen Foxcomm workers attempted suicide and several succeeded. Poor working conditions were blamed and many employees said they were treated like machines.

The HTC Wildfire S has long been rumored as coming available with T-Mobile here in the US, however up until now, the evidence to support that has remained rather sparse.

Amid talks of the national debt and a need to raise the debt ceiling, some Senators are focusing their attention on the merger deal between AT&T and T-Mobile. A Democrat Senator from Wisconsin, Herb Kohl, who is also chair of the Senate's Antitrust Subcommittee, openly condemned the merger between the two wireless carriers. Moreover, he urged others to speak out against the merger. The premise of his argument is that the acquisition would “cause substantial harm to competition and consumers.” His full statement can be read below: "I have concluded that this acquisition, if permitted to proceed, would likely cause… Full Story » | Written by Natesh Sood for . | Comment on this Article »

After revolutionizing the personal computer, Bill Gates has decided to put an effort into revamping the toilet. Gates has said that he will donate $42 million towards a new environmentally-friendly and cost-effective reinvention. While some of us might take our “number two” stations for granted, developing nations around the world unfortunately do not share the same luxury. As it turns out, 40% of the world’s population does not have access to toilets while roughly a billion have to defecate outdoors. In addition, this lack of a sanitary waste system is costing 1.5 million people their lives every year from diarrhea… Full Story » | Written by Tarun Kunwar for . | Comment on this Article »
