Farewell to the collaborative messaging platform. Spaces, which Google introduced us to last summer, is going to be shut down this spring. Its page on Google Support says the entire thing will get the plug pulled on April 17. Before that, on March 3, Google will convert Spaces to a ready-only state.

The resurrection of BlackBerry begins with the KeyOne, an enterprise-focused device made by TCL. Software, as expected, is still no problem. But the hardware is interesting. TCL made a phone with a gorgeous exterior; however, the internal specifications are a little light in important spots. Hit the break for the spec sheet.

How SIM cards work
by Guest Brad Ward- 0 replies
- 23 views
We deal with SIM cards on a daily basis in our phones (and sometimes tablets), but yet, we know very little about them. When it comes to SIM cards, all we really know is that when we plug it into the device, it allows us to use our selected carrier’s data network. And when we […] Come comment on this article: How SIM cards work Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to get serious for a few moments, if we may. We show you plenty of great deals every day, and we constantly cover awesome products that our readers love. We hear from readers all the time who tell us how much they appreciate our recommendations, and how grateful they are after saving so much money. Of course, not everyone listens to us, and that’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with that at all. But if you pick up only one product that we recommend, this is the one: The Luminoodle Color Bias Lighting Kit. This awesome and affordable gadget plugs into a USB port on the back of your TV and automatically turns on as soon as you power up your t…

Nintendo is suing a ‘Mario Kart’-inspired tour service because it hates joy
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 19 views
Nintendo, noted inventors of playthings and haters of Bluetooth headsets, is taking a Tokyo-based sightseeing company to court in the hopes of forcing the employees to stop wearing Nintendo-themed costumes while working. The service is called MariCar — yeah, that's a little much, guys — and it provides tours of the bustling Japanese city via go-kart. Nintendo is predictably upset, and wants them to stop immediately.

Google talks RCS and the default messaging situation on Android
by Guest Jared Peters- 0 replies
- 24 views
Okay, so it really doesn’t seem like Google has any idea what they’re doing with Android’s messaging situation. We now have Android Messages to replace Google Messenger, Hangouts is dead-but-not-really, and Allo is, uh, existing somewhere. It’s a messy, messy group of apps and services (and we didn’t even mention Google Voice) that doesn’t seem like it […] Come comment on this article: Google talks RCS and the default messaging situation on Android Visit TalkAndroid News via TalkAndroid

Instead of sharing a picture showing the phone itself, Evan Blass posted an image today of the sign-up page for Samsung Galaxy S8 updates. It’s definitely not the type of leak we’re used to.

This Kickstarter pen looks so good, I actually backed it
by Guest Chris Mills- 0 replies
- 29 views
I have a bit of a Kickstarter problem. I'll go on Kickstarter for a couple minutes, as per usual, to hunt for any interesting new projects to blog about. Somehow, fifteen minutes later, I'm $100 poorer and the potential future owner of an artisinal new knife, or a $400 camera bag I didn't know I needed. This is all a long-winded way of saying that last night, I may or may not have spend $87 on a pen. This is out of character for me; I avoid writing things whenever humanly possible, and I'm also bad at losing small pocket items. This makes an expensive titanium pen a dangerous thing to own, because I probably won't use it as much as I think, and it will almost definitel…

Some day, every smartphone in the world will be able to access Amazon’s awesome virtual personal assistant Alexa. For now, however, Alexa is only baked into one Android phone. You can complain about it and use some lesser AI assistant, or you can grab yourself a Logi ZeroTouch. These awesome little Logitech car mounts connect to your Android phone wirelessly and they allow you to access all of Alexa’s features by performing a gesture to activate Alexa. This way, you don’t have to mess with your phone or take your eyes off the road for even a second.

Feast your eyes on the most ridiculous motorcycle you’ve ever seen
by Guest Mike Wehner- 0 replies
- 25 views
With just two wheels, very little standing between the driver and whatever it is he or she is driving towards, motorcycles are inherently more exhilarating and dangerous than your average car. That excitement is what draws so many to take up motorcycle riding in the first place, and it's also what makes the decidedly chill name of this utterly insane German cycle concept even more hilarious. This two-wheeled demon is called Easy Like Sunday Morning, and it's one of a kind. Continue reading...

Why the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8 will be the only phones that matter this year
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies
- 23 views
We’re about to see a variety of Android device makers introduce their best new smartphones models at MWC 2017, but many of these devices will have a huge disadvantage when it comes to competing against the best of the best. According to current rumors, some of the top Android devices that are about to be unveiled will not be powered by flagship 2017 mobile processors. The Galaxy S8 (April) and the iPhone 8 (September) will feature chips that aren’t just faster than their predecessors, but are also a lot more efficient. While Apple never announces its silicon innovations ahead of the products they’re supposed to power, Samsung does it with some regularity. Right on sche…
