Following the announcement of bringing its miniature flagship — the Z1 Compact — to the United States, Sony has also announced that its latest flagship tablet — the Xperia Z2 Tablet — will soon be landing exclusively on Verizon.

A German court has ordered Motorola to stop selling selected smartphones in Germany to do a dispute over the design of their antennas. The company’s flagship Moto X, Moto G, and other devices infringe a patent for “Laser Direct Structuring” that is owned by German engineering firm LPKF.
It has just been over a couple of weeks since Google released the Android L Developer Preview (DP) for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013). While I was initially hesitant, I ultimately took the jump and flashed the developer preview on my Nexus 5, which is also my daily driver.

Google has issued a workaround that finally allows Android Wear users to install paid applications on their new wearables. It comes days after early adopters of the LG G Watch and the Samsung Gear Live discovered that they could only install free Android Wear apps on their devices due to a Play Store security feature meant to curb piracy.
Having been delayed from 2013 to 2014 in order to let its developers “fully achieve” their vision for the game, the eagerly awaited Modern Combat 5: Blackout finally has a release date — and it’s later this month.

The game is set to take players on yet another adventure across the world, beginning in Venice, Italy, before protagonist Phoenix is set on a special operation to secure the transport of WMDs from a well-armed terrorist group. Unsurprisingly, not everything will go to plan, and from here you jump from set piece to spectacular set piece, including helicopter and speedboat-based moments.
