We mentioned this morning that a soak test was in the works for the DROID 3, however, it appears now as if that test has already been given the green light. The changelog for build 5.7.905 has been posted and it’s a doozy. Weighing in at 224MB, this should fix any bug that D3 users [...]

One of the main problems with monetizing content on the Google Play Store, whether it’s apps, books, music or videos, is that many users don’t have a Google Wallet (former Checkout) account. It’s much easy to buy something with one or two clicks when you already have a payment method set-up. Since Google isn’t allowing [...]

For years I have always relied on the fact that Google stores my photos, contacts, calendar events, documents and what not in the cloud. Almost to the point that I forget about the fact this happens. That is, until I flash the newest ROM out there and I don’t have to worry about that stuff [...]

It’s quickly coming up on a year that Verizon introduced their tiered data plans.
