Maximize Available Device Storage with Cassini

November 26, 2013
Storage space isn't quite as much of a problem nowadays compared to before. Phones and tablets are being pushed out the door with some comfortable internal memory specs such as up to 64 GB.

Turn Your HTC One into a Google Play Edition

November 26, 2013
Just yesterday, we covered how Google had finally decided to update the HTC One Google Play edition to Android 4.4 KitKat.

November 25, 2013
For the most part, there aren't too many Intel-powered Android smartphones on the market. There's nothing inherently wrong with them, although things are a bit tricky for older NDK-produced apps that haven't been cross-compiled.
