Android Market version 3.3.11 leaks out; brings new settings, UI tweaks and more

It appears as if Google has begun rolling out an update to the Android Market. This latest update will bring the version up to 3.3.11 and with the new number comes new features as well as some changes and improvements to existing features. Some of the biggies include the new found ability to have updates done only over a Wi-Fi connection and the ability to automatically add shortcuts to the homescreen. Breaking this down a bit further and the full changelog reads as follows; New setting: Auto-update apps (presumably, sets all apps to auto-update mode, woohoo!) New setting: Update over…

Samsung Galaxy Nexus may not be coming to Verizon until on or after Black Friday

Nothing is official until the carrier makes an announcement, and even then—things sometimes still change. But that being said, it looks like Verizon may not be releasing the Galaxy Nexus on November 10th as we previously expected.  These latest details are coming by way of a leaked Verizon Wireless roadmap (which can be seen below) and slates the “Samsung Holiday Portfolio (with Galaxy Nexus)” as coming on or around November 28th. And for those keeping track, that means the handset may not be available until just after Black Friday. Needless to say, we would like to think, or at least…

Google releases a hugely disappointing Gmail app for iOS, soon pulls it

Google has finally created an official Gmail app for iOS, but even this free app isn’t worth your time. The Gmail app brings most of what you love of Gmail to iOS. There’s the priority inbox and threaded conversations, and it even has push support so you don’t have to wait for the Maill app to refresh your Gmail to find out when you have a new message. The app uses a panel display similar to the iPhone Facebook app, with a dual-pane mode for the iPad version of the app. It’s relatively clean, and works within Google’s new design…

Tweephone, for those who want to tweet using an old-school rotary style phone [Video]

It looks like the folks at UP Digital Bureau and Unteleported have taken the ability to tweet and gone old school with it. The firms have announced a rotary style phone that comes complete with a small display and the ability to tweet by spinning the rotary dial. And suddenly, the 140 character limit sounds like it will take some time to reach. Consider this, you may only have 140 characters, however it will take more than a few spins of the rotary to get certain letters out. For instance, to get «a» you have to dial «2» once, and to get «f»…

Republic Wireless will have an unlimited plan for $19 a month

Remember when we told you about Republic Wireless, the virtual network operator whose smartphones will rely primarily on a Wi-Fi connection?
