One of the sadder aspects of the UK is that we just don’t have enough Android enthusiast get togethers. Outside of developer workshops we only really have OEM fan site hoorahs and launch events (which only the press tend to get invites for) and the outstanding community March of the Droids event. We should therefore […]
Finding the right office suite for your Android productivity is no easy task, the Play Store has more than a few options but for me they are all lacking in one form or other. What this means to someone like me who uses Android as his main OS is that I currently have four different […]

Within the custom ROM community the biggest heartache caused by Lollipop’s switch from Dalvik to Art was the loss of the incredibly popular Xposed framework. The framework allows developers to create modules which change the way your (rooted) Android device works and looks, and was an all in one solution for modding that took the […]
AT&T has acquired some pretty valuable spectrum today from the FCC. How valuable do you ask? 18.2 billion dollars valuable. The licenses for the AWS-3 10×10 spectrum are nearly nationwide.

I’ve put off the real first look post on this camera until I had the finished product in my hands. I did have a video and post ready to go after the Double Exposure event. I didn’t post it, not because the hardware and software were bad, but because they weren’t finished. Seeing an unfinished […]
After only three days of exposure, Amazon has had Primecast blocked from use. From what I understand it was restricted via Amazon’s backend. That means there was no legal action taken against the Primecast developers or threats of action. The developers have taken the app down of their own volition. Contrary to what was written […]

At the end of September, I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to attend XDA Developer’s now annual meetup, XDA:Devcon, along with Gary (although he unfortunately couldn’t make it in the end).
