Simple And GoBank: A Closer Look At The Future Of Banking In The Cloud

Posted by in Applications, Features

Throughout the course of time, the US banking system has gone largely unchanged. There have been a variety of micro-evolutions – from cash to check, check to debit, and the like – but the way we interact with banks has remained much the same. Many people take comfort in the fact that they can walk into a local branch and speak with someone should a problem arise, but therein also lies the problem with banking as we know it: physical branches. I'm not saying that brick-and-mortar banks are a necessarily a bad thing in themselves, but being tethered to a physical location can be exceedingly annoying.

[I/O 2013] Google Announces 'Google Play For Education,' A Specifically Curated Program For Schools

Posted by in Development, News

For Android fans with children, it can be a bit disheartening to learn that your kids are using iPads and iPods for learning every day. While this is becoming more and more standard across the country, Google is looking to change that with its newly announced "Google Play for Education." This is exactly what it sounds like: a specially curated version of the Play Store made for educational environments. It offers curriculum-based discovery for grades K-12, which will make it easy for teachers to find apps appropriate for his or her students. The program also includes bulk-ordering of unspecified Nexus tablets (assume the Nexus 7) to round out the experience.

[Update: Winners!] Win One Of Six V-Moda Metallo Galaxy SIII Cases ($101 Each)

Posted by in Contests / Giveaways, Galaxy S III
Last Updated: May 26th, 2013

A few weeks ago, we highlighted the sexy new V-Moda Metallo Galaxy S III case that takes an incredibly stylish approach to protection. The all-metal frame changes the shape of the GSIII to something a bit more Nokia-ish, as the case sports much sharper edges in comparison to the phone's stock form factor, and the overall look is much more radical than a traditional case.

This contest is now over.

The final results are listed below. If you've won, you will be contacted in the near future. Congratulations!

Everyone else - keep participating and stay tuned to Android Police so that you don't miss our upcoming giveaway announcements.

Blackberry Announces BBM For Android And iOS, Coming 'This Summer'

Posted by in Applications, News

While details are scant at the moment, Blackberry just dropped a bomb at BBLive: Blackberry Messenger is coming to iOS and Android "this summer" as a standalone application. After years of rumors, the company is finally taking the plunge and making its most popular app multi-platform. Brilliant.

The app will start initially be released with support for "messaging and groups," though additional support for for "voice, screen share, and [...] channels" will come later. It be compatible with Android 4.0+ devices and be available for free.

While this may be a big deal in itself, it may already be too late for Blackberry to resurrect its former BBM userbase – this is a move that could've helped save the company had it made the decision a year or two ago.

ARO Introduces Saga, 'Automatic Lifelogging' So You Remember Where You've Been, Discover Where You're Going

Posted by in Applications, News

Checking in, Instagramming, Tweeting, and updating statuses are something most of us do on a regular basis. It's a way for us to share with our friends and family what's going on in our lives; where we're at physically, mentally, and/or emotionally; and an overall fun way to interact and kill time. We, as people, are more socially connected than we've ever been thanks to modern technology.

But there's a missed mark here. An introspective journey. Everyone else knows where we've been, what we're doing, even what we had for lunch. But do we remember, or is sharing just second nature?
