Times Square Official Ball App updated to bring in 2013

Posted: 22 Dec 2012 11:07 AM PST

Times Square has just updated their official application for their ball app to count down to 2013. It’s a pretty basic app, but cool nonetheless, and the early reviews say it’s improved over last year. And even if the app isn’t the same as actually being there, it’s better than nothing, right? The app lets you livestream the event and also lets you upload pictures to possibly be shown on the big-screen on New Year’s Eve. Interested? Hit the download links below to go ahead and get your phone prepared for 2013.

Google steals Samsung’s VP of Marketing to work for Motorola

Posted: 22 Dec 2012 08:52 AM PST

We just reported on Google’s and Motorola’s secretive and super forward-thinking X Phone, and part of that story was about the heavy emphasis that Google is willing to put into marketing the device. In the story, we heard that Larry Page told Motorola that he is willing to allocate a significant amount of funds into marketing the X Phone. Well, now we know where a portion of those funds are going: to Brian Wallace’s salary. Google just nabbed Samsung’s Vice President of Marketing, Brian Wallace, who helped push Samsung into the Android success story that it is today. Wallace spent the last year working at Samsung and is responsible for the passive-aggressive (and highly successful) “The Next Big Thing Is Already Here” campaign that took swings at Apple’s most devoted fans. Before that, Wallace worked for over ten years at RIM, where he tried to help the struggling Blackberry maker make a turn around. Today, Brian Wallace will sit at the helm of Motorola’s marketing strategies, and hopefully will push the fledgling company back into the powerhouse territory where it used to reside. Let’s hope this all ties into the thickening plot of the Google/Motorola Super X Phone.

Final Fantasy Dimensions, Final Fantasy II, Demons’ Score released in Google Play Store by Square Enix

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 08:32 PM PST

Just in time for everyone starting a long holiday break looking for something to do on their tablet or smartphone, Square Enix released a trio of titles to the Google Play Store today. The first title is Final Fantasy II, a port of the original FF II from 1988. The game revolves around four war heroes caught between an empire and a rebel resistance. The game features a proficiency system for developing a character versus the more typical level up structure. Final Fantasy II is available for $7.00 and will run on Android 2.2 or higher.

A related title, Final Fantasy Dimensions, is a modern throwback version for the Final Fantasy line. Incorporating the traditional story of battles between light and darkness with some crystals thrown into the mix, the game uses 2-D pixel art to give the title a retro look. That look does not come cheap though as Final Fantasy Dimensions will set you back $20 if you have an Android 2.3.3 or higher device.

The final title released by Square Enix is Demons’ Score, a Tegra 3 only app. The story centers on a young college girl in search of her father who has gone missing in an asylum. Prior to disappearing, he provided his daughter with a smartphone app to help her control demons that may try to possess her. The gameplay is in the genre of rhythm games where players have to tap their device’s screen in certain rhythms. Demons’ Score also costs $20 to buy.

Several other Square Enix titles are on sale now, including Chaos Rings, Chaos Rings: Omega, Chrono Trigger, and the original Final Fantasy. If you are interested in any of the three new titles, use one of the download links below to get your copy.

Google working with Motorola to create the ultimate “X Phone” in 2013

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 07:07 PM PST

Ever since Google acquired Motorola Mobile in early 2012, Android enthusiasts have been waiting anxiously to see what kind of amazing super-phone the combined companies would create. Well, according to a new report by the Wall Street Journal, we could be finding out as early as next year. According to some insider sources, Google is working very closely with Motorola to build the ultimate superphone, code named “X Phone”. Larry Page is said to have told the Motorola team to “think big” and has promised significant funds for the device. Dennis Woodside, Motorola’s chief executive has said that the company is currently “investing in a team and a technology that will do something quite different than the current approaches.” What is this “different” approach that the X Phone will be taking? It’s anyone’s guess really, but the fact that the phone is called the “X Phone” could be an homage to Google’s super secretive, super forward thinking “X Labs”, a branch of Google engineers that develop hardware and ideas that will change the future.

It is also quite possible that the “X Phone” name could be a hint that this phone will be the next Nexus device, since the Nexus logo is essentially an X. Other insiders are reporting that the phone will be followed by an X Tablet, also produced by Motorola. Unfortunately, the development of the hardware has supposedly hit some obstacles in the manufacturing and supply-chain process, which has caused Google and Motorola to have to rethink some of their original plans for the X Phone. As of now, we have no word on when the phone will be released, but the source says that it’ll be some time in 2013. That’s a big window, but hopefully they mean January 1st! Any of you have any theories about the “different approach” the X Phone will be taking when it comes to hardware?
