One of my most frequently used Android apps is NewsRob, an RSS reader with a huge number of options and Google Reader sync. Apps like NewsRob are meant for news junkies which subscribe to a lot of feeds that sum up to many hundreds of new articles every day. If you are one of those users the most important feature of such an app is letting you quickly browse through your article lists to sort out all... 

ASUS is one of the manufacturers that doesn’t change the original Android look too much with a skin like HTC Sense or Samsungs Touchwiz. This is not only good news for anybody preferring the pure Google look, but also helps keeping the complexity low when it comes to updating to new Android versions. ASUS rolled out the Android 4.0.3 ICS update for the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 some time ago.... 

After many days full of leaks and rumours Google finally released the long awaited cloud service Google Drive.

Upgrading the storage to 25 GB is possible for 2,50 dollar a month. This will put a lot... 

Prior to Amazon shaking the Android tablet market with the Kindle Fire, there weren’t a lot of really successful tablets out there besides the iPad. Motorola introduced the Xoom as a Google experience device sporting Android 3.0 but despite pretty good reviews it wasn’t embraced by the customers. One of the reasons was the high price and the fact that Android 3.0 had a lot of little issues... 

Having used the Kindle Fire for some months now it’s time to evaluate how much sense it makes to get the latest Amazon tablet as a non-US customer. Since the major selling point of the Kindle Fire isn’t only the price tag but also easy access to all Amazon services i want to explain what you have to keep in mind if you think about getting this product outside of the US and without a real... 

Google released Chrome beta for Android yesterday, which marks the first step to unify their desktop and mobile browsers. Only Android 4.0 devices are supported though, but its already clear that all new Android 4.0 phones will be shipped with Chrome on board in the not too distant feature. Having two completely different browser products never made much sense, not only from a customer perspective... 

Amazon made a big impact by announcing the Kindle Fire 7 inch Android tablet for a extremely competitive 200$ pricetag. Prior to the Kindle Fire you could only find very low quality hardware from no-name Chinese companies. Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Asus, Acer and nearly all other important manufacturers released tablets which were as expensive as an Apple iPad or only slightly cheaper. After the HP webOS... 

When the Nexus S got released alongside Android 2.3 Gingerbread there was a delay of about 2 months until Nexus One owners got their update. Many people were disappointed since the Nexus One was supposed to get updates very quick. Instead Google decided that it needs some more testing time before rolling out the newest version of Android to the previous Nexus device. With Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich... 

Google announced yesterday via Twitter that the ICS update has started to roll out to all GSM Nexus S smartphones. Finally the wait is over and Nexus S customer got what was promised: quick updates directly from Google. Being among the first users to get an Android update is one of the main USPs of Nexus devices so it’s good to see that Google was quicker this time compared to the last major... 

Apple presented the iPhone 4S a few weeks ago, and Google followed by announcing the Galaxy Nexus device made by Samsung. There were many rumours about an iPhone 5 and therefore some people were initially disappointed by the lack of a completely new iPhone. Nonetheless the iPhone 4S is a very solid device with greatly enhanced specs like a faster (dual core) CPU, more RAM, new camera and better antenna....
