21 Jun 2010 by Kevin Ivanca / 7 Comments

Gameloft, the prolific iPhone development studio, has ported 10 of their more successful games to the Android platform.

02 Jun 2010 by Kevin Schulte / 4 Comments
For many people, the default Android home screen is good enough. Those who crave more features, though, inevitably install a home screen replacement.

27 Apr 2010 by Kevin Schulte / 3 Comments
E-book readers have changed the way we think about books, but if you own one you probably can’t carry it with you everywhere you go.

26 Mar 2010 by Kevin Schulte / 1 Comment
While there are plenty of great applications available for Android, it can sometimes be difficult to find them. The Android Market doesn’t do a very good job of showcasing applications, so you’ll usually see the same twenty or so apps on its front page.
