Google Chrome to Phone Android app gets new look and feel, landscape support
Google updated its Google Chrome to Phone Android app with two new features. First of all, you’ll notice a new (improved) look and feel. Perhaps even more important is the added landscape support, which for some reason was missing from the initial app. You may be browsing (and consequently using Google Chrome to Phone) in a portrait mode exclusively, but I’m sure folks with side-sliding phones (those with QWERTY keyboards and perhaps the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY) more often than not rely on landscape view.

This lamp makes us wonder what happened to Android @ Home
Our phones can do virtually anything these days. From making payments with a tap, unlocking your car, and even opening your garage, the possibilities seem endless.

As explained on the developer’s website: The orientation of … Read more

The photo-sharing app is available only on iPhone and iPod touch, yet in just over a year it has garnered over 15 million users with plenty more signing up each day. Its popularity has led developers for other platforms such as Android and Windows Phone to create third-party alternatives.
