Sony Remembers Its SmartWatch, Pushes Out A Software Update

There has been so much buzz about SmartWatches lately, I’m a little dizzy. I mean, watches are worn to look smart, professional yada yada.

Google Keep Is Finally Official – Take Notes, Voice Transcriptions On The Go

After leaking initially, Google has finally given the go to its new app, Keep. It seems (the name) a little vague for a note taking app, but it also lets you take images and add notes to them, apart from voice transcriptions. Much like Evernote.

Google To Unify Its Chat Services Under The ‘Babble’ Moniker At I/O 2013

Google Talk in Gmail. Hangouts. Google+ Messenger. Google Voice. Google Talk in Google+.

Tiring, right? Annoying. There are so many Google messaging apps at this moment, and none of them are anything close to good. Google Talk works, so do others, but each one of them misses certain features. For example, you can’t send attachments from the Android app.

AnyDash Shows Notifications From Any App In The DashClock Widget

DashClock widget is all sorts of awesome. I was pretty annoyed when Google introduced Lockscreen Widget support in Jelly Bean 4.2, mainly because I disliked the clock widget at the time. However, DashClock takes advantage of that and gives a lot of room to customize it to your liking. The best part about the app is the support for Extensions….
