We simply love wallpapers. They’re one of the first changes we make to our Android devices and often represent our moods, interests, or wicked alter egos. They’re as unique as the individuals who use them and while some people pick one and stick with it, others change them more often than a teenager’s Facebook status. Each day we’re going to feature a free wallpaper for you to download and use on your Android device. Depending on your device, you may want to use your favorite photo editing software to resize the image for a better fit. Once that’s done, apply and enjoy. Your homescreen can thank us later. Cheers!

Google has definitely been feeling the heat from upset customers and has issued an update for those of you who ordered your Nexus 7 on or before July 13. While this information won’t get the Nexus 7 in your hands any quicker, at least it can shed some light on when you can expect it to arrive.

However, the truth is that Google Maps doesn’t fit the needs of every developer and/or company. Thankfully we live in a country that allows competition and choice (even though large companies continually try to squash it). There is, in fact, a broad number of mapping solutions available to developers, and with Apple and others recently abandoning Google Maps, we’ve seen a spark of interest in these alternatives. One that’s been working hard to provide a viable option to its customers is deCarta.

It’s taken a bit to get here, but Square Enix’s Lara Croft And The Guardian of Light has finally landed in the Play Store — too bad the majority of you won’t get to play it. Square Enix decided to jump into Sony’s pockets and make the game an Xperia exclusive. Judging by the game’s less than 50 downloads, it looks like that was a smart move /s.

The device that coined the term “phablet” is officially on its way to T-Mobile. The 5+” Samsung Galaxy Note will be available from T-Mobile in “coming weeks” and will launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Samsung’s Premium Suite. The Galaxy Note has risen above ridicule to become a top selling Samsung device that will soon have T-Mobile customers clamoring for a stylus.
