The photo sharing application saw an impressive 1 million downloads in less that 24 hours on Google Play. Instagram began taking registrations for its Android variant back on March 24, allowing users

A few weeks back, I made the trek up to New York City in order to have a preview with Borderlands 2 from Gearbox. This was the first press demo for the game, and now I’ve had a chance to settle in, watch the embargo lift and jot down a few of my thoughts. First,

Instagram has to be one of my top 10 favorite apps. (And if you only knew how many apps I have, you’d realize how huge a deal this is.) Whoever created those filters did an amazing job. I’m a horrible photographer, and Instagram somehow manages to give my lousy shots a rather artsy flair. They’re

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is, I’m convinced, one of the best excuses for great gaming on touchscreen-only devices. If you’re an iOS device owner and you’ve got a few bucks to toss around, buy this game. No, really, buy it. I will come to your house and ma–ahem. For users that find themselves situated squarely

Netflix had better watch out as it appears Amazon is attempting to move in on their territory when it comes to device support.

The intrepid Android community is at it again. According to RootzWiki, Ice Cream Sandwich for the AT&T Galaxy Note is arriving today by way of what we assume to be an unofficial build.

It’s no secret that Google Wallet has experienced its share of growing pains, but throwing in the towel appears to be the furthest thing from the search giant’s mind.
