iOS beats Android in app retention by more than 50%

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 12:59 PM PDT

Now that Google and Apple have both unveiled their future plans for their respective mobile platforms, it’s up to the consumers, and more importantly, the third-party app developers to make their decisions. Which OS do they make their priority?

Back in the good old days, this was an easy decision to make: go with the one that had the most users. More users typically meant more downloads (and $). But now that Android and iOS are almost even, developers have to look at other metrics…(...)

Check out Google’s pricey, albeit cool-looking media streaming sphere, Nexus Q

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 11:50 AM PDT

I’m sorry for polluting your reading list with more Google news, but this thing warrants a quick mention. So we already told you about impressive Android stats, Google’s own tablet called the Nexus 7, a new Android version (4.1, called Jelly Bean) that sports Siri-like features and a brand new native Google+ app for iPad and Android tablets. Google also surprised us with the coolest live tech demo ever: a parachute landing on the Moscone West building, seen through the eyes of the participants’ Google Glasses.

By the way, Tweetbot developer has gotta win the coveted title of The Most Original Google I/O Review for his tweet. So, one thing that especially captured my imagination is this cool-looking accessory aimed at streaming media at your home. Classed as a yet another piece of hardware designed and engineered by Google, the Nexus Q sports unique industrial design calling for a round chassis which reminds me of a lot of a sci-fi-like alien probe. It’s also got some noteworthy features, as seen in a video demonstration…(...)

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 10:09 AM PDT

Google I/O is underway at San Francisco’s Moscone West and the company just shared a few interesting tidbits related to the momentum of its Android platform, announcing total activations of over four hundred million devices as of June of this year.

Completely rebuilt, “blazing fast” Facebook for iPhone coming next month

Posted: 27 Jun 2012 09:31 AM PDT

Don’t you just hate Facebook’s iOS app, a glorified HTML5 web app wrapped with an Objective-C shell? We do: it’s sluggish for a native apps and unresponsive more often than not.

Earlier this morning we told you about a note by Apple pundit John Gruber who challenged BGR editor Jonathan Geller’s false report that Apple would release a software development kit for the Apple TV at WWDC, effectively opening up the $99 set-top box to third-party apps.

The rumor never came to be and Gruber noted in his trademark style that "something big is going on with Apple TV in Cupertino" (but it's still being cooked, if I may add). An interesting new video evidence released today by the Brazilian blog MacMagazine has strengthened the belief that third-party apps are likely coming to the Apple TV…(...)
