Android will have an equivalent to Apple’s AirDrop file sharing

[ad_1] There are a few key differences.

ActionDash 3.0’s new ‘Focus’ mode keeps Android users on task

‘Tetris Royale’ brings massive battles to phones worldwide

[ad_1] The debut title, Tetris Royale, will include the hallmark 100-player battle mode. Players will compete for top spots on the leaderboards every season.

Xperia 1 pre-orders come with Sony’s latest premium headphones

[ad_1] Of course, Sony can afford to do this in part because the phone costs a hefty $950.

Perhaps the only tablet that wasn’t hurt by software quality was the Nexus 7, which arrived […]
