HTC’s Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the One M7 and One M8 Google Play Edition devices is still being held up by Google. HTC had hoped to finally get it out to users on Monday, but according to the company’s vice president of product management, Mo Versi, the update still hasn’t been given the approval it needs for rollout.

Google has launched a new online tool that allows users to see all the devices that have logged into their account in the last 28 days. If you have suspicions that someone may be logging into your Google account without your permission, you can log in and quickly identify any unauthorized access from computers and mobile devices.

Chromecast is already excellent value for money at its regular retail price of $30, so Amazon’s Black Friday discount, which brings the price down to just $22.99, makes it an absolute steal. And is if that wasn’t enough, the device also comes with two months of Hulu Plus absolutely free.

While it’s still too early to find any decent reductions on the Nexus 6 for Black Friday — it has only been on sale for a few weeks — you could get $50 in Google Play Store credit if you buy the device from Sprint. The promotion will run over the Thanksgiving weekend, starting Friday, November 28, according to a leaked Sprint document.
