Yes, the one drawback of just about every Android available today is its battery life. If I go out at night, then…
If you look at sales charts, Android is dominating Apple all over the world. Despite the near-ubiquity of the iPhone and iPad, Android sales figures have taken a big chunk out of Apple’s profits in recent years. But there’s one important category where Android has never beaten Apple: usage. Yes, no matter how many Androids manufacturers sell, it seems like users never actually use their devices as much as Apple users. Sure, you can make jokes about how Apple users sit around…

The deal likely involves some sort of product endorsement, although the NY Post suggests that the deal could involve “some kind of new music-streaming service to promote his acts and music on mobile…
The Android industry is at a period of divergence. Many people believe that Samsung is only a few months away from breaking off of Android entirely and developing its own mobile OS. And with the slew of unique Samsung-only apps available on the Galaxy and Note, it appears that Samsung thinks it can make better apps than Google itself. And of course, it’s impossible to uninstall these apps if you don’t like them. Well, the people who think Samsung is undermining Android recently…

I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time messing around on Twitter. And over the last few months, I’ve seen a lot of the people I follow on Twitter post links to Vine videos.
