Remember The Milk Gets Updated Interface, Lower Pricetag

Posted by in Applications, News

If you already use Remember the Milk to handle your todo lists, then there's a good chance you already know about this update. If you're not currently using RtM, though, then maybe it's time to give it another look.

The latest update brings an enhanced interface for more intuitive task management, as well as some new features and widgets. The updated app also includes another major change: it's now free for everyone. Of course, there are some bells and whistles that have been saved for Pro account holders, like push syncing, reminder notifications, and widgets; but considering those limitations are few, RtM is still highly usable in its lite form.

Last Updated: November 23rd, 2011

We've already seen the source for the AT&T Galaxy S II, the Epic 4G Touch, and a handful of other new devices, so why not throw T-Mo's Galaxy S II into the mix? Sammy dropped the code earlier today -- hit the link below to download it. Let's see how fast that Snapdragon will actually run, gents.

No Need To Wait, The Motorola Droid RAZR Teaser Photo Was Hidden In Plain Sight

Posted by in News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX

Earlier today, the Droid RAZR teaser site went live, revealing bits and pieces of the upcoming device as specific bloggers input the codes sent to them directly from Motorola. There's only one problem with that: we're still waiting for most of the bloggers to enter said codes. Luckily, one of our readers starting digging through the teaser page's source code and uncovered the full image. Have a look:

So, there it is -- the Droid RAZR. The image doesn't reveal much that we didn't know (or at least guess) -- like the ultra-thin profile of the device, which was to be expected from a device carrying the RAZR name.

iPhone 4S Vs. Samsung Galaxy S II Drop Test - And The [Clear] Winner Is...

Posted by in Galaxy S II, News
Last Updated: January 30th, 2013

So, do you want to see how the Galaxy S II compares to the iPhone 4S when dropped directly onto concrete? Yeah, we thought you might -- and you you may actually be surprised at the results. Before you watch the video, though, I must warn you: watching these electronics plummet to their (presumed) demise can be a bit cringe inducing, even to not-so-squeamish among us. With that caveat out of the way, have a look at the video:

Pretty impressive, no? While the iPhone 4S was rendered basically unusable after a couple of drops, the Galaxy S II's Gorilla Glass kept it safe, secure, and intact.

Teaser Site Shows Up For The Motorola Droid RAZR, Reveals The Device One Piece At A Time

Posted by in News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX

Remember the Droid Bionic teaser site? If not, here's a quick refresher: four different blogs received some weird artifacts, each of which including a corresponding code. Once that code was entered into the site, it unlocked a new part of the video that ultimately unveiled the Bionic. Looks like Moto is doing something similar for the upcoming Droid RAZR, as it has sent out clues to 16 different blogs, all of which include a special unlock code that reveals a new feature of the RAZR.

So, Moto, when do we get to be a part of these teasers?

As of right now the only site to have entered a code is Mobile Burn, which revealed the phone's rumored kevlar coating.

AppExtractor Can Pull Apps, SMS, and MMS From Nandroid Backups - It's Like ROM Manager Had A Baby With Titanium Backup

Posted by in Applications, News

How many times has this happened to you: you're getting ready to flash a new ROM, so you drop in on the SD Card, reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery, do a Nandroid backup, and proceed with the installation, only to realize that you forgot to backup your apps. That has happened to me more times than I care to count, and flashing a backup just to do a Titanium Backup is insanely tedious.

I guess one dev felt the same way, because he created an app called AppExtactor that allows you to pull data directly from a Nandroid backup that was created with CWM (including 5).

Are you ready for some Friday morning source code? Even if you're not, Samsung thinks you should be -- it just released the source for three new phones to its Open Source Developer Center. The three phones in question are the Stratosphere on Verizon, the Transfix on Cricket Wireless, and the still-unreleased Galaxy Y Pro.

Sure, these three phones aren't powerhouses by any stretch of the imagination, but at least this source can be used to pull every last drop of capability out of them. Hit the respective links below for download.

Motorola Introduces XOOM 'Family Edition', Coming Exclusively To Best Buy On October 16th For $379

Posted by in News, XOOM

Motorola is resurrecting the world's first Honeycomb tablet one last time before the next generation of XOOM becomes available, but this time it has a family-friendly twist. It's called the XOOM Family Edition, and it's basically the same Wi-Fi XOOM that has been out for months now, but it's packing around $40 of additional games and other software specifically targeted at kids. Among the bundled software is Zoodles, an app that locks the home button and only grants access to user-defined apps, so you can keep those kiddos away from apps that you deem unfit.

Also included in the bundle is a couple of popular games, like Asphalt 6 and Sim City Deluxe.
