We appreciated every ounce of feedback that you have given us and every article comment that you have made. Over a year ago, a few of us came together to create something that we [...]
The Amazon App Store is a popular alternative to the Google Play Store since its inception. The app store is popular among both users and carries pretty much the same apps as the Google Play Store. If someone had to point one of the major flaws of the Amazon App Store it would have to [...]
Raise your hand if you have fond memories of playing Puzzle Bobble when you were a kid. Okay, so I can’t exactly raise my hand on that one either, however I did spend quite a few hours toiling away at level after level of Frozen Bubble. I can’t quite say that I ever wished wanton [...]
While I would normally shy away from reviewing an app that is currently in the beta testing phase, the new features included in SwiftKey 3 are too amazing not to review. I have been a SwiftKey keyboard user since it first came out and just when I think Swift Key can’t get any better, the developers [...]

Case-Mate currently has two cases for the Amazon Kindle Fire the Venture Case & the Tuxedo Case. Right off the bat I could not take my eyes off the Tuxedo case because of its slim profile and professional look but also intrigued by how well it would work. I had to get my hands on [...]
I’m a long time T-Mobile customer and since the Nexus One was released, I’ve been waiting for the next “pure” vanilla Android phone to come out. I guess that patience has been misplaced. Whether you look at Google, T-Mobile, the phone manufacturers, it doesn’t really matter. The fact remains that another true vanilla Android device [...]

Case-Mate has brought their “Creature Series” cases to the Galaxy Nexus starting with the “Mike Droid” case. Creature cases are a huge hit with the iPhone line that includes 9 designs all of which look amazing. There are other Android devices that have creature cases but due to numerous device designs for Android, I am sure it is difficult to [...]

Project Glass. There are very few facts about this it, so I’ll just stick to those and tell you why I’m excited about this project. Fact 1 Google has a project called “Glass”. Fact 2 Project Glass deals with a pair of glasses with a heads up display that keeps you connected to [...] … [...]
While it has been a pretty busy week for Android, it has, unfortunately, been a slow week for Android rumors. Maybe we should chalk it up to the holiday season or maybe there is a leaker’s convention inLas Vegas which is keeping everyone from reporting. Whatever the reason… here is the Mill for the week [...]
Obviously if you follow the news in the Android world you know that Instagram finally was released this week. If you are unfamiliar, Instagram is the long time IOS app for taking photos with filters, a mobile website for viewing photos and supporting community. Android users have been waiting for a long time for the [...]
Unless you’ve been habitating under a rock buried way back in a cave on some faraway island, chances are that you’ve most likely heard that Instagram was released yesterday for Android. Now, as an Android user, you finally have access to the holy grail of photo sharing applications and you can jump into the pool [...]
Dear Papermill (mainly Ryan Bateman), I would like to start off by saying that as an Android user I take full offence to your claim that “Android users not being willing to pay for an apps whose focus is quality and whose price reflects this”. I will explain to you why it is offensive, and why I felt the need [...]
There is are few things in life you have to be prepared for; to be born, to live, to die, and to listen to the Apple loving iOS community when their beloved Instagram was ported to Android. I wouldn’t have imagined that these hipster glorifying nut cases would have flipped their fucking wigs so fast [...]
I know, like some Android users out there it is one social network after another. Between Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Tumblr, and countless amounts of other social “crapworks” why would we want to introduce another? Well, because it works and it works pretty darn well. Path for Android helps mobile users connect and also keep track [...]
I’ve often seen commercials for items or gadgets and wondered why I did not think of inventing that myself? I wanted to go over an app that made me ask that same question. Online commerce and enterprise has grown tremendously over the past few years, but we were often limited to using our email as [...]
The saying goes “You get what you pay for”. That is certainly true most of the time. But when I saw a super cheap extended battery for the Galaxy Nexus, I couldn’t resist. In fact, I bought 2 just in case they worked better than I expected. So after receiving my 3800mAh extended battery, am [...]
This is my experience of getting two unbranded devices, learning how to deal with them, and how puchasing these devices will save me money over two years. In addition, I plan to address why European devices have more built in features that our phones will NEVER have. And those of you who know me well [...]

![Temple Run Down [Review And Rant]](http://androidheadlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/temple-run-down-review-and-rant_-at-w_0.jpg)
Temple Run has experienced tremendous success on the iOS platform. Last week, Imangi studios ported their game over to the Android platform. In just a week it has climbed over a million downloads and is on its way to becoming one of the more popular free apps in the Play Store. That will be more [...]
More than likely, if you’re reading this you’re looking for an update list or some good news saying that your phone will be getting ICS. I’m not the ICS fairy or anything of the sort. What I am… is a concerned citizen of the Android community. One of the biggest issues that has been hanging [...]
One of the most used apps on my Android smartphone is Google Maps Navigation. This is a free feature/app, which to me, is one of the things that truly separates Android from the iPhone. Being able to use your phone as your free GPS device makes life so much easier than having to make sure [...]
I can only imagine that with a title like that I’m most likely showing my age a bit here. However, I do think it’s true: I’d much rather watch Jim Henson’s adorable Muppets perform Pigs In Space than spend too much more of my time flinging birds around my screen….or in this case around moons [...]
This week in the Rumor Mill(The Mill) we see more Amazon Kindle Tablet rumors and some interesting new devices. One of the most interesting rumors focuses on information leaked by Asurion – the company who handles Verizon’s extended warranty service. While we didn’t see a whole lot of rumors this week, what we did see [...]
Our fearless leader Scotty Brown wrote a very in depth and lengthy article about the woes of the Google I/O registration. I’d like to offer up a few comments about the situation. I personally would love to go to Google I/O one day, but I realize that dream is exactly that. I can neither afford [...]
A few weeks ago everyone discovered the app called Glympse after it won several Best Of awards for 2011. There were people reviewing it on different sites and blogs everywhere even though it has been out for a few years. I have been using the app and I thought I would give it a long [...]
I admit that I have moved away from a lot of physical media. I don’t think I’ve purchased a CD in a couple years, I’ve only found myself purchasing Disney Blu Rays (for the lady, of course), and my game collection has taken a major hit over the past decade. It is great to have [...]
Being able to connect remotely to servers and computers on a daily basis is what many network admins out there do all day long. Finding a good app to accomplish that job from a mobile device is not as simple as it sounds. There are several apps that will remotely connect to servers and PC’s [...]
Google I/O 2012 tickets went on sale yesterday at 7AM Pacific Time… and as expected they didn’t last long. Most people were met with the “spinning wheel of doom” when trying to register for the developer conference, but for the lucky few… their F5 key must have certainly got a work out! Over the past [...]
Yet again, my time line exploded with news of Instagram’s imminent release with an advanced release notification page. I immediately noticed a collective eye roll from my circles within the Android community, but this has become kind of a big deal to users at large. I also have taken the chance to review several alternatives [...]
I usually do reviews for software I like. I do that for a few reasons. First, I think it is worthwhile for you to read reviews of apps that are actually helpful. Next, I am an optimist and I see the good in almost everything. And last, I don’t always see a need to slam [...]
With the unseasonably warm weather many of us, across the United States, are facing, comes the prospect of beach season. I can easily admit that I am no longer that svelte young man who had no problem walking on the beach with out a shirt on. So what’s an old guy like me to do? [...]
This has been a great week for Android rumors and possible device informtion. With potential new devices from Samsung, Sony, HTC, Motorola and Huawei - the Android community could be looking at some very solid new choices for the months ahead. I am looking forward to seeing how some of these devices pan out. Leaked screenshot shows [...]
The rumor mill is working feverishly to bring you what could be one of the most expected moves from Google, the Nexus Tab. No one REALLY knows what to believe, and no one will care ENOUGH to go out on a limb and say they will purchase the device. I mean, it is only rumor, [...]
