BlackBerry 10 has been a complete flop since it made its debut with the Z10 in early 2013, but it does deliver some nice features that I’ve been waiting for on Android for almost three years. One of those in an awesome virtual keyboard that’s terrific to type on.

Now that BlackBerry has its own Android device, that keyboard has been ported to Google’s platform — and you don’t need to buy a Priv to get your hands on it. Here’s how to download and install it on your device.

Just as promised, TAG Heuer today unveiled Connected, its first smartwatch powered by Android Wear. The device is inspired by the iconic Carrera watch, and although it’s not quite as pretty, it is the most expensive Wear watch you can buy.

TAG Heuer is ready to take on the Apple Watch.

Its first smartwatch, powered by Android Wear and called the Carrera Connected, is set to make its debut later this week, and it will retail for $1,500.

Google is in talks with chipset manufacturers with a view to designing its own processors and other components for future Android devices, according to a new report.

The company is said to be interested in following Apple’s footsteps in an effort to make Android “more competitive” at the high end of the market, and to “solve other major problems.”

It may be arriving a little later than originally promised, but Android 6.0 Marshmallow is now on its way to the HTC One M8 Google Play Edition. Users can look forward to using what is essentially the same software now shipping with Google’s latest Nexus smartphones.
