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. With Google Drive you will get 5 GB of free cloud storage which can be used to upload all different kinds of files. Besides the Android app you will also be able to use Google Drive on desktop PCs. 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... 

Rumours about the Nexus Prime aka Galaxy Nexus have been floating around for months as Google is preparing their next major Android update called ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’. All evidence points to Samsung being again the manufacturer of choice, even though some people would have liked to see another company getting a shot at it. Samsung is currently the most successful Android Smartphone manufacturer... 

HTC Sense was the reason why i switched from Windows Mobile to Android. I was looking for something new as Microsoft didn’t innovate with Windows Mobile for many years, but at the same time vanilla Android running on the T-Mobile G1 just wasn’t attractive enough for me. The user interface looked like it was in beta stage, and a lot of functionality was missing (i.e. full exchange server...
