No matter how you feel about Apple and the iPhone, it’s impossible to deny that the device completely revolutionized the mobile industry when it was launched in 2007. Without it, the smartphones of today may have been completely different.

Take Android, for example. It’s the biggest competitor to the iOS operating system that powers the iPhone, and it’s now the world’s largest mobile platform — but the iPhone is the reason Android is what it is today. Google started work on the software way back in 2005, but it scrapped everything and started again the day after iPhone was revealed to the world.

Google has finally decided to recall faulty HP Chromebook 11 chargers that are prone to overheating, more than a month after the $279 notebook was pulled from store shelves.

The recall was confirmed by the Consumer Products Safety Commission, which confirmed that Google and HP have received nine reports of overheating chargers — one of which burned its owner.

I wrote about some of the major flaws affecting the Google Play Edition Sony Xperia Z Ultra on Monday, but fortunately, these are being fixed with a new Android 4.4.2 update rolling out today. The release weighs in at just over 441MB, and it comes with build number KOT49H.

Oppo is still teasing us with what’s rumored to be the company’s latest high-end Android-powered smartphone, the Find 7. Earlier today, the OEM posted its signature image of a gorgeous sunrise on its Google+ page, with an overlay drawing of the Find 5 and the words 1080p display, together with the “Find 7” logo and the wording 2K display, which confirms recent leaks that suggested the handset will feature a state of the art display.

MX Player, one of the most popular third-party video players on Android, finally supports the latest versions of KitKat. The app stopped working for Nexus owners earlier this month when Google rolled out Android 4.4.1, but it’s now fully-compatible with the search giant’s latest software.
