In case you hadn’t heard, the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX launched on Verizon today. There’s been plenty of coverage of the device leading up to today so there weren’t any surprises and everything went off without a hitch. Those interested can head over to Verizon Wireless and purchase a new 3300mAh RAZR for $299.99 (the same price the original DROID RAZR was just 2 months ago). I’ve been quite bothered by what Motorola and Verizon did with the DROID RAZR and the extended battery that they are calling the MAXX, but I’ve got some news that makes me feel a bit better about the whole situation.


Some good news for Google Music lovers. Google has finally added some new features to the web interface as well as the Music Manager that now allows you to download all the music you’ve purchased or added to your library. Woot! I know many of you were waiting for this functionality and now it’s here.

Whale Trail is a popular sidescroller that originated from the Apple App Store. The game can best be described as Tiny Wings meets Angry Birds on acid. Whale Trail is a colorful, charming, quirky and addictive game — not to mention one of my personal favorites.

As we’ve already told you, Whale Trail recently launched on the Android Marketplace. I got to sit down with the head of the company behind Whale Trail to talk about the pros and cons between developing for Android and iOS. 


It looks like Valve threw a few extra coals into their engine after hearing about the 3rd party Steam app that was released earlier this month. They were not going to let any other app take their steam and so they have now released the official Steam app onto both Android and iOS. I’d like to say users are ecstatic, but there seems to be a catch.


Now here’s a deal you won’t want to pass up. Right now, Amazon Wireless is offering the Android 4.0 packing Samsung Galaxy Nexus for the amazing price of $99. Of course this is for new 2-year contracts, but if you fit that description, here’s your chance to get the latest and greatest Android device at a ridiculous price. We’ve seen the Galaxy Nexus get discounted $50, and even $100, but never a full $200 off of what you would normally pay. Consider this your official invitation to join the Ice Cream Sandwich club.
