Rakuten has finally launched the beta for its Wuaki.tv app on Google Play, bringing its users the ability to navigate through an endless library of TV Shows and Movies which can be streamed to your Android smartphone, tablet, and computer.

For a long time after its launch, the iPad was by far the best-selling tablet on the market, and no matter how hard they tried, rival devices didn’t stand a chance of stealing its market share. But that’s all changed, according to the latest figures from IDC.

Android-powered slates saw a staggering 163% increase in the last year, and they’ve now overtaken the iPad and opened up a rather large gap in market share.

Microsoft Office Mobile makes its debut on Android today, almost seven weeks after it was released on the iPhone. The app allows you to open, edit, and create Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents from virtually anywhere on your smartphone. You will need a qualifying Office 365 subscription to use it, however.

Samsung appears to be gearing up to launch yet another threat against the iPad with two new slates that’ll boast mouthwatering 2560×1600 displays. One is expected to offer a 10-inch screen that’s just slightly bigger than the iPad’s 9.7-inch display, while the other will be a larger 12.2-inch model.

Google’s newly updated Nexus 7 isn’t supposed to officially launch until July 30th but if you’re starving to get it now you can pick it up from a couple of retailers early.

Best Buy confirmed this morning that the Nexus 7 is available at all Best Buy stores now. Amazon has also started taking orders for the device on its website and is even offering same day delivery for it in some areas. Walmart appears to have received its initial stock as well.
