The new Nexus 7 goes on sale internationally today, just over a month after making its debut in the United States. You’ll be able to purchase yours from Google Play, and from third-party retailers in the U.K., Germany, France, Spain, and Japan.

Looking for a terrific, contract-free smartphone that won’t cost you a fortune? Then look no further than the Nexus 4. Google has today slashed $100 off its price tag, so the 8GB model is now just $199 from $299, and the 16GB model is now just $249 from $349.

You won’t find another smartphone with these specifications this cheap.

Galaxy Gear, Samsung’s first Android-powered smartwatch, will be unveiled alongside the Galaxy Note III next week, according to a senior Samsung executive.

Lee Young-hee, executive vice president of the South Korean company’s mobile business, has confirmed to The Korea Times that the new “wearable concept device” will be announced on September 4, and she’s confident it will be a big success.

A pesky multitouch bug affecting the new Nexus 7 is no more, thanks to a new software update that is being rolled out by Google this week. There were concerns that the problem may have been related to hardware — given that it didn’t affect all Nexus 7 tablets — but the “JSS15J” release that’s being issued over-the-air promises to eliminate it.

It also addresses an issue with GPS sensitivity, too.

Motorola’s Touchless Control app, which allows you to control your smartphone using only your voice, is now available to download from Google Play. You can use it to set alarms, get directions, find answers to questions, “or do just about anything” — without having to touch your phone at all.

There is one caveat, however. The app’s only available on the Moto X, the Droid Ultra, the Droid Mini, and the Droid Maxx.
