Google integrates Google+ functionality within Voice Posted: 24 Feb 2012 04:00 PM PST Chances are there's not just one person that you don't want to hear from; there are more than likely several, though that may be the cynic in me. Likewise, there's probably people you know that fit into other groups, like "family," "friends," and "mafia connections." Google understands this, and as we all know, implemented this knowledge within Google+, bringing forth Circles, one of the product's best features. Carrying out their plan to make Google+ the center of the Googleverse, they've brought the Circle feature to another of their prominent products: Google Voice. Now you'll be able to group your peeps together into groups, that you can give specific actions to. For example, you could have you "ex-girlfriends" group go straight to voicemail. It's definitely more efficient than the previous way of having to do everything on a person-by-person basis. The new settings are found under an added tab, "Groups & Circles," under the Google Voice settings. So what do you think of the new feature? Something that you'll be using? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

More rumors surface about 7-inch Google tablet Posted: 24 Feb 2012 03:04 PM PST We first heard whispers about Google launching their own tablet, which might go under the Nexus name, about three months ago. Digitimes claimed a few weeks later that the device was real, and would be a 7-inch tablet. More rumors have been going around about the possibility of a Nexus tablet, and this time it's coming from a DisplaySearch analyst. He (or she) has told CNET that the device will indeed be 7 inches, with a 1280 x 800 resolution display, running Ice Cream Sandwich. The tablet is rumored to have a price tag around $199, which would make it a direct competitor to the Kindle Fire. We wish there was more to go on, but there's not at the moment. So, if the rumors are true, Google's tablet will have a decent display, ICS, and a good price. Now before we all go rushing to the store to preorder one, we have to evaluate the validity of these claims. When Google finishes its acquisition of Motorola Mobility, it'll gain ownership over the original Xoom, and both the 10.1-inch and 8.2-inch Xyboards. This begs the question of why Google would want another tablet in the first place. So until we get some concrete evidence, we'll be taking these rumors with little more than a grain of salt, and we advise you to do the same. All that being said, we want to know what you think. Could Google really be planning their own tablet, or is it all smoke and mirrors? Sound off in the comments below!

Millenial Media releases 2011 year in review report, Android takes home the gold Posted: 24 Feb 2012 07:30 AM PST 2011 was certainly a big year for Android, so it's not really a surprise to us that Millenial Media's Mobile Mix year in review report shows Android on the top in nearly every aspect of the mobile world. The most notable facts include: In 2010, iOS held the market share with 41%, and Android trailed with just 30%. However, Android saw rapid growth in the past year, clinching the majority of the market with a 47% share, and iOS fell to a 33% share. Of the top 20 phones (according to Mobile Mix) in 2011, thirteen of them are Android devices. Companies also benefited from Android's growth. In 2011, HTC landed the number 3 spot on the top manufacturers, thanks to some key Android devices like the HTC Flyer and Sensation. Samsung was able to grab the number 2 spot, just behind Apple at number 1. It's also quite interesting how quickly tablet sales have increased in the past two years. In 2010, 17.4 million units were shipped, most of them probably iPads. In 2011, this number grew almost four-fold, with 64.7 units being shipped. Mobile Mix estimates that by 2015, we'll see as many as 287 million units sold per year. No doubt Honeycomb has played a role in this statistic. We definitely saw great things from Android last year, and here's to an even bigger 2012! What do you think was Android's biggest accomplishment in 2011? Was it the Motorola Xoom, the first Honeycomb tablet? Or perhaps it was the release of Ice Cream Sandwich? Drop a comment below!

Amazon Appstore catching up to Android Market in more ways than one Posted: 24 Feb 2012 07:00 AM PST For the majority of users, the Android Market is the place to go for apps, games, and books. The Amazon Appstore is one third-party app market that is actually holding its own against Google's app market. According to a downloadable report by Distimo, the numbers indicate that the Amazon Appstore is rapidly growing, and it may be only a matter of time before it's on a level playing field with the Market. Here are some of the notable observations: In terms of growth, the Amazon Appstore's download numbers increased fourteen-fold between October and December of 2011. This is probably due to the Kindle Fire, which exclusively uses the Appstore. In the last week of January 2012, 110 applications in both the Android Market and Amazon Appstore earned at least $200 per app, per day. 28% of the total income generated by these apps came from the Amazon Appstore. 42 of these apps generated more income in the Appstore than in the Market. While the Market has about fourteen times as many apps as the Appstore, new apps in December and January prove that Amazon is catching up, as there were only five times as many new apps in the Market. Paid applications in the Market make up about 32-38% of the total number of apps, while paid apps in the Appstore hold a strong 65% majority. Furthermore, the average price of paid applications in the Appstore is 40% less than the price in the Market. This is linked to Amazon setting their own prices in the Appstore, and giving discounts on some apps. So, thanks to some help by the Kindle Fire, Amazon is looking at a solid increase in size and user count. If things continue at this rate, the Appstore could be fairly close to the Market by this time next year. It's interesting that based on the study, developers are beginning to lean more towards the Appstore, perhaps because there aren't as many restrictions as the Market. One can only imagine what kind of impact the Kindle Fire successor we've been hearing about will have on the Amazon Appstore. More on this as it develops. So now that we have an idea of where Amazon and Google stand in the app world, we want to know: which do you prefer, the Appstore or the Market? Sound off in the comments below!
