| Google enables in-app subscriptions for Android apps Posted: 24 May 2012 12:20 PM PDT
The Android team over at Google today announced an update to its Google Play Store which now allows Android users to purchase in-app subscriptions. Much like in-app purchases did when they were introduced, this will open the door to plenty of new developer options and user delight. Think in terms of a company who wants to offer a monthly magazine or weekly newsletter but don't want to charge a flat-rate off the top. As detailed by Google, developers can set a price and billing interval for customers and Google Play will take it from there.
Developers and users alike are encouraged to read more on the Android Developers blog. Google enables in-app subscriptions for Android apps originally appeared on AndroidGuys.

| How loyal are you to your Android handset maker? #androidfeedback Posted: 24 May 2012 11:48 AM PDT
As most of you know, there have been rumors swirling that there could be as many as five companies working on Nexus smartphones for later in the year. Given that the last two have belonged to Samsung, we've been wondering who might be involved this time around. Of course there are the bigger players like HTC, Motorola, Sony, and LG who could step in with a Pure Nexus device. On the other hand, we've seen increasing noise out of other outfits such as Huawei, Pantech, ZTE, and ASUS. The landscape is constantly shifting and evolving and today's second-tier players could soon wedge their way into the upper echelon. With so much choice in the Android space, chances are good that you might be considering multiple brands for your next smartphone. With all of this in mind, we're curious to see how loyal you are to the company that made the phone in your pocket or purse. Are you going to buy another one from said handset maker or have you had enough? Would you consider another brand for your next Android? We recently took to Facebook with this very question to see what you guys and gals were thinking. Here's what some of you had to say... Oh yes. I was a motorola fan then went to LG because of antenna issues. I always sounded like I was in a tin can with Motorola. But I'm looking at the new Samsung Galaxy SIII which I will get to try out in France this summer just to see if it's something I want to buy when I get back to the states. I know there will be differences because of country, but I'm excited to see what it looks like. - Louis C. Hell yeah,I hate this htc wildfire that I got for bday in Sept !!! - Julie N. Yeah. I like my EVO 4G, but I would also like a Samsung Note because of the larger screen. - Doug F. I could definitely be swayed. I have a Motorola R2D2 droid and I'm on my 4th replacement. I'm thinking of getting a Samsung next. I love my Samsung tablet. - Angie B. Using my Atrix for about a year, and yet not going to change it. - Roman B. I'll use anything Android based. My loyalty is with Android. - Jorge G. I hate my droid x2, will never buy another motorola product. - Sue S. My loyalty is first with Android, second to Samsung, I have yet to have a serious issue with any samsung device, little things are found in every make and model, and I find samsungs tend to have the least troubles compared to other brands, but thats my personal opinion. - Jimmy B. Depends really, I've been loyal to HTC since day one. Hoping by November to see one released for Sprint from HTC. - Irvin Z. What say you?Would you consider another handset maker for your next phone or are you married to that brand? Tell us your Android story. How loyal are you to your Android handset maker? #androidfeedback originally appeared on AndroidGuys. Get more AndroidGuys on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube!

| FCC docs out Huawei T-Mobile myTouch Q Posted: 24 May 2012 10:29 AM PDT
Documents found on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) web site indicate that Huawei will soon have a second MyTouch Android handset soon for T-Mobile. The FCC docs refer to a Huawei U8730 model known as the Ascend G 312 Qwerty which has, naturally, a QWERTY keyboard. The device label suggests the name of T-Mobile myTouch Q, which sounds like a final product name that the carrier would come up. We'll share more details with this handset as we gather them. We've certainly warmed to the possibility of picking a Huawei for our next Android, have you?

| 600,000 Google Nexus tablets to ship in June, report indicates Posted: 24 May 2012 07:34 AM PDT
New details stemming from DigiTimes indicate that the much-ballyhooed Google Nexus tablet will ship in June with an initial volume of 600,000 units per month. Expected to be co-designed and developed by ASUS, the tablet may take the stage at Google IO on June 27th. Reports suggest that Google is anticipating somewhere between 2 million and 2.5 million of the Wi-Fi units in 2012. Rumors had originally tapped the tablet with a May launch however Google pushed things back a bit because the design didn't meet expectations and/or the price would be too high. It's anticipated that the presumed Nexus tablet would have a quad-core Tegra 3 processor and that it could cost as low as $199 when it retails. 600,000 Google Nexus tablets to ship in June, report indicates originally appeared on AndroidGuys.

Google just dropped a brand new, completely redesigned Google+ application into the Google Play and boy is it sharp.
