Having sold half a million Galaxy Gear smartwatches already this year, Samsung has claimed a whopping 71 percent of the global smartwatch market. The South Korean company’s wearables, often branded a “flop” by critics, are taking advantage of the lack of competition to gain an early lead over incoming rivals.
If you regularly use your Android-powered smartphone or tablet to stream media to other devices, then you’re probably already familiar with AllCast from ClockworkMod, which makes this process ridiculously simple. But what if you want to stream media from one Android device to another?
Well, AllCast now has a solution for that, too. It’s called AllCast Receiver, and it allows you to seamlessly stream content from one Android device to another.
Last month, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy K Zoom as a successor to its first camera/smartphone hybrid, the S4 Zoom, which launched in the summer of 2013. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen very much of the new handset, except for a few camera shots, press renders and hands-on images, but, thankfully, the South Korean company is now looking to publicize its latest creation and has started this process by uploading an official teaser video on its YouTube channel.
This week’s app, My Data Manager, made its debut appearance on the Google Play Store last year and has been regarded as one of the most elegant, user-friendly, secure and feature-packed third-party data monitoring clients ever since. So, consequently, we’ve decided to bring it its very own review here at Cult of Android.
Last year, Google released a brand new launcher with the Nexus 5 — dubbed Google Now Launcher. While launcher does not look radically different from other similar offerings on the Play Store it offers quick access to Google Now with a simple left swipe on the homescreen.
If Google Now is of not much use to you, this feature might not seem a biggie. However, if it does, the ability to access Google Now in an instant with all the relevant cards already present is a boon. Sadly, Google has only made the launcher available for the Nexus devices running Android 4.4 KitKat. While there are ways to install the launcher on other KitKat running devices, Jelly Bean users have been out of luck so dar.
