T-Mobile ICS updates lost on Samsung
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsT-MobileGoogleAndroid 4.0
It seems that everyone with a Samsung phone or tablet will be getting an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich soon, with some limits, except for basically the entirety of T-Mobile. Sad as it may seem, Samsung’s big list of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades today appears very much to have been relegated to everyone except for T-Mobile. T-Mobile Samsung devices that otherwise might have been upgradable at the moment include the Exhibit II 4G, Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and the Galaxy S II in white and titanium, each of these being suspiciously absent from the updates list.

Google Docs now redirects to Google Drive
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Today Google finally launched its cloud-storage service Google Drive, and for those who have signed up you'll now find yourself redirected to Drive when you attempt to access Google Docs. This only happens if you're signed up for the new service, and you'll still be able to access all of your documents as before — it's just done through Drive now. The change even removes the "documents" option from Google's navigation bar, which suggests that Google might be rebranding its popular app as part of the new storage service. Of course, it also might cause some confusion for people looking for Google Docs who are unaware of the change. Google is no stranger to major rebranding, as we saw when the ...

Android 4.0.4 factory images hit the web for GSM Galaxy Nexus
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleGALAXY NexusAndroid 4.0
Sure, pushing builds of Android 4.0.4 out over the air is great, but what if you want to keep that unblemished piece of Ice Cream Sandwich for posterity? You could download the AOSP files, but you'd be missing some vital ingredients from the official factory images. Thankfully, build IMM76I of Google's mobile OS is available to download in a simple archived format. With this release Big G is also introducing a second version of its software. In addition to the standard "yakju," there's now "takju," which includes Google Wallet and the necessary support files. If you're a safety first kind of guy or gal and like to keep a simple factory reset kit handy (you know, just in case that latest CM9 ...

Google raises Gmail to 10GB free, 10-times increase since launching in 2004
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Eight years ago one gigabyte of online storage was a remarkable thing. One gigabyte of email? Preposterous, but that's exactly what Google offered back in 2004 with the launch of Gmail, and now that factor is increasing. Current Gmail users were floating at around 7.5GB of storage but, as part of all the Google Drive hoopla, that storage is now officially up to 10GB. That's a lot of spam and, for those of us who are already paying extra for more storage, it's even more room to grow before we upgrade to the next tier.

Google is notorious for their extended beta periods; Gmail was in beta seemingly forever, Google Music spent half a year in beta, and Google Navigation has guided Android owners across 50 billion kilometers of terrain without leaving beta. But it seems that Chrome for Android is not destined to wallow in beta forever, according to a recent statement by Sunday Pichai, Senior VP of Chrome for Google.

And on the 7th day Oracle rested
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
We’re officially a week into the epic Oracle v. Google trial, as Oracle attempts to squeeze Google’s mobile operating system to see if there’s money inside. For those of you who haven’t kept up on every last detail, the trial has been broken into three phases; the first part covers the alleged copyright infringement and is what is happening right now. This will be followed by a second phase covering Oracle's greatly diminished patent infringement allegations, and finally (if Oracle wins either of the first two phases) a damages phase will be triggered.

Google Rolls Out AdWords for Video on YouTube
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
When it comes to consumer technology, the only thing hotter than mobile apps is Internet video, an area that has seen explosive growth in the last few years. Now YouTube has introduced a familiar framework designed to allow advertisers to capitalize on this video boom, dubbed Google AdWords for Video.
The program was soft launched last September for a select group, but now Google AdWords for Video is available to all and it essentially follows the same logic as Google's text-based AdWords. What that means is that keywords will allow a company's video ad to appear during relevant video searches, companies only pay for the targeted video ads that people actually view, and they have access to d...
