The device will launch sometime in June with a pre-order date of May 20th, and it’ll retail for a low price of $349 (well, low for what we expected).

[Kickstarter] Moon Rift, an RPG platform shooter from Sam Hutcher

Android For Ever — Sun, 19 May 2013 00:51:23 +0000

If I said the words “random gun generation”, what game does that make you think of? For many of you gaming folk, it would probably remind you of the triple-A title Borderlands, but after this reading about this new Kickstarter project, you might start associating that phrase with a game called Moon Rift.

HTC employee hints at an HTC One with stock Android

Mya Thompson — Sat, 18 May 2013 22:37:16 +0000

At the I/O, Google announced that a version of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 running stock Android will be for sale later this summer. Could a “Google experience” HTC One with stock Android follow? Leigh Momii, a Developer Evangelist at HTC posted a tweet possibly suggesting exactly that, stating “So you can pay $649 for a piece of plastic running stock or… You can wait.” Trusted developer LlabTooFer said on Twitter he was positive that the tweet meant that “this summer we will see HTC One Google Edition” or something similar.

Did Google I/O 2013 Solve The Android Fragmentation Problems?

Android For Ever — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:57:08 +0000

Many people were expecting the a new version of Android to be released at this years I/O developer conference at The Moscone Centre in San Francisco; either an incremental update to Jelly Bean (Android 4.3), or a completely new version of Android (Android 5.0). As we all start to take stock of everything that happened at I/O, including all of the new announcements to things like Google Play services, Google Play Games and the new Android Studio, I would say that Google actually updated Android, without releasing a new version of Android

[Don't Panic] Google-Branded H840 Media Player Appears In The FCC, Bearing Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy References

Android For Ever — Sat, 18 May 2013 17:12:40 +0000

Normally we’re a bit wary of reporting on the certification filings that go through the Federal Communications Commission, because frankly, they don’t often mean anything. But an entry spotted by the fine folks at TabletGuide.nl caught our attention purely on its geeky merit. There’s very little information available about the “H840 DEVICE” – it’s made (or at least submitted) by Google, it’s listed as a Digital Transmission System and “functions as a media player,” it has a WiFi connection, and it runs on AC power.

When Google announced the Nexus Experience Galaxy S4 (which shall henceforth be referred to as the NES4), information on exactly which hardware variant Google was using for the device left something to be desired.

Google Glass + prescription glasses seen at Google I/O

Android For Ever — Sat, 18 May 2013 12:49:18 +0000

One of my primary gripes with Google Glass at its launch was the fact that it did not cater to individuals that already wear prescription glasses; as someone who has to constantly wear glasses, I already have enough trouble trying to watch 3D movies. There have been murmurs and reports that Google has been looking at prescription alternatives for awhile now, but they’ve been spotted in the wild at Google I/O .

Google makes Android easier to use for visually-impaired users with TalkBack and BrailleBack.

Android For Ever — Sat, 18 May 2013 04:42:22 +0000

Google has made some great enhancements to the Android platform with the goal of making their devices more user friendly to people with blindness or low-visibility. Google engineers have simplified the process for developers to augment their code to let Android use its accessibility features for these users. These accessibility features utilize either TalkBack (a spoken feedback system), or enable connected devices which give a blind person a legible description of the display to read using BrailleBack (a Braille emulator).

Two Weeks With The BlackBerry Z10, From An Android Perspective

Android For Ever — Sat, 18 May 2013 02:06:00 +0000

It’s very easy to look at BlackBerry and see a technological Neandertal – the company that almost had it (“it” being smartphones), but then refused to evolve in order to keep up with the competition. Let’s not mince words: the iPhone nearly killed BlackBerry, and Android is happily hammering the nails into its coffin. After the disastrous Storm and Storm 2, few thought BlackBerry had the chops to break into full-touch devices in a big way, at least until Android really started taking off
