Samsung will unveil its next-generation Galaxy Note on September 3, just days before IFA 2014 kicks off in Berlin, according to sources familiar with the South Korean company’s plans. Invitations are expected to go out in late August, and it’s an event phablet fans will want to keep a close eye on.

Paranoid Android’s Peek feature might be inspired from the Active Display functionality of the Moto X, but it still manages to be unique in its own way. Back when the feature was released, it was released in an APK form for all other KitKat running Android devices soon after. However, the app was pretty buggy and sparingly worked as well as PA’s Peek.

Now, the original developer of Peek — Jesús David Gulfo — and Francisco Franco have teamed up to release an app that brings the full features of Peek to any Android 4.4 device.

Google Search has received a pretty nifty server-side update in the Play Store, which transports a great new attribute to the Google Now service —  the ability for users to set a timer without even having to touch their smartphone or tablet.

Samsung’s like the spoiled brat you went to school with: they have almost everything, but if another kid comes in with a toy that’s not part of their collection, mummy and daddy will make sure they get it.

Rumor has it the South Korean company is now developing its own virtual reality headset that will work alongside Galaxy devices — and it is desperate to get the product to market before Facebook and Sony launch theirs.

Amazon really wants you to use its Android Appstore — so much so that it has recently been holding some fantastic giveaways. Its latest lets you bag $10 in virtual Amazon Coins for downloading five free apps.
