A couple of months ago, Yahoo announced a major revamp for its photo sharing service – Flickr – and offered literally unlimited (1TB) of storage space for even free accounts. While there are certain to uploading, 1TB of space even for free accounts, is an excellent deal.

Sadly, while the Flickr app for Android looks beautiful, it lacks the basic feature of uploading all your camera images automatically to Flickr. With mobile phones replacing cameras, it makes little sense not to have such a feature. Thankfully, Flickr Uploader on the Play Store is here to solve all your Flickr upload woes on Android devices.

Remote was among the first apps that was released on the App Store by Apple.  The app allows iPhone and iPad users to control media playback on iTunes on their Mac or Windows based PC without any hackery or complex procedures. While many Android apps on the Play Store offer similar functionality, they need an application to be installed on your PC.

In comes Retune from SquallyDoc studios that works just like Remote from Apple for Android devices, and is free as well.

Earlier today, Google unveiled Android 4.3 Jelly Bean along with the new Nexus 7. The company also announced that it has started rolling out the Android 4.3 OTA update for the existing Nexus devices, including the Nexus 4, Nexus 10, Galaxy Nexus and the 2012 Nexus 7.

If you own a device that is getting the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update from Google, and cannot wait for the OTA update to land, here is a simple trick to try and manually pull the update from Google’s server.

The initial launch of the HTC One was delayed by a couple of weeks due to the shortage of certain components, but the handset is now slowly making its way on to major markets around the world. Compared to previous HTC handsets, rooting the One is a pretty straight forward process. In fact, once unlocked, the HTC One behaves like a true Nexus device, as said by a very popular Android developer, Koush.

Before you get down to rooting your HTC One, keep in mind that the steps below are valid for the international device, as well as the AT&T variant of the HTC One. Also, make a backup of all your data on the phone since unlocking the bootloader on the phone will wipe your phone clean.

Ready? Let’s get started.

Google Glass is the future of technology. Maybe. But for most of us, it will be at least 6-12 months before we ever get to touch Google’s futuristic piece of headwear. In the meantime, Google wants to make sure everyone is prepped in advance and knows how to use Glass so it’s making a series of videos to get you up to speed.

Google just released its first instructional video for Glass on its new Google Glass YouTube channel . The video, titled “Glass How-to: Getting Started,” covers the basics on how to use Glass. It briefly runs down features like the TouchPad, cards, sharing photos, navigation, etc. Sadly, it doesn’t cover how to not look like a weirdo while wearing Glass.
