The best argument for funding the space program is: “Because space, that’s why!!”

But for many this argument is pointless. They would prefer the money be spent to help people on Earth. And for those folks, the best argument is: “Space missions always invent numerous technologies that make life better for everybody.” NASA even maintains an online database/magazine called Spinoff to keep track of these technologies, which average about 50 per year.

A similar phenomenon is likely to happen with Google Glass, which is not only a wearable computing hardware device, but also a development platform.

I’m predicting that Google’s massively well funded moonshot, the beta product formerly known as the Google Glass Project, will bring to Android phone and tablet users incredible technologies, ideas, apps and content originally developed for Glass.

We’re starting to catch sight of the new Nexus 7’s first official accessories less than a week after the device was announced. In the past, it has taken several months for ASUS in conjunction with Google to produce accessories for the Nexus range, but now just within a couple of days of its unveiling we are already starting to see three new ASUS manufactured products.

T-Mobile’s new summer smartphone promotion is a scorcher: The carrier has eliminated down payments entirely and dropped the price of all devices to $0. Even the latest handsets like the iPhone 5, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Sony Xperia Z are included in the hot new deal, which the company announced today.

But there is a catch.

It’s been a long time coming, but the waterproof, shockproof, modular LifeProof phone cases has evolved from their iDevice origins and now protect their first Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Two models of the LifeProof case have arrived for the Galaxy S3 this week: The Fre, the original case from LifeProof; and the Nuud, which is similar to the Fre but is free of a screen protector and allows unobstructed access to the S3’s screen. LifeProof says these cases are the thinnest and lightest fully protective cases yet made for the S3.

Earlier today, we told you about MoDaCo.SWITCH, a terrific new tool for the HTC One that allows you to install both Sense and stock Android and switch between then at the touch of a button. At the moment, it’s only available on one device, but MoDaCo has plans to bring it to the Galaxy S4 (i9505) in the near future.

If you’d like to see that happen, here’s how you can make a pledge to support its development.
