Oh no, whatever will we do? Turns out HTC’s $300 million dollar investment in Beats Audio isn’t quite paying off. Apparently people don’t really care about Beats (they could have hired me for a hell of a lot less than $3 million and I would have told them that) and even worse — people don’t choose smartphones based on headphones (who would of thought). I know you’re sad to see them go but in the famous words of the King of Pop: “Just beat it.”
Android engineers have finally put an end to developer’s woes over the sluggish moving Android emulator.

This should put a smile on many o’ developers’ faces and make building and testing apps a tad less stressful.
I’ve held out on this one for a bit now but I’m going to show you guys how to enable the hotspot feature on your Samsung Galaxy Nexus without any funky tweaks or root. I felt it was necessary to share this considering it’s the number one feature I use on my phone and I’d be lost without it.

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!
