by Guest Brad Ward- 0 replies
- 39 views
It appears that — despite a ton of bad press — Google Allo, the new instant messaging system from Google, has hit a whopping 10 million downloads since its launch in late September. When it launched in September, it was a bit of a rocky release. There really wasn’t much to it and there were […] Come comment on this article: Google Allo has hit 10 million downloads on the Play Store Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/3229104e131137da590c906db91f01d4._.gif News via TalkAndroid

After Google decided to drop back and punt on the release Android Wear 2.0, pushing a release date until sometime in 2017, things have been quiet in the world of Android smartwatches. That lack of news coming out of Google regarding their wearables platform does not mean steps are not being taken to ensure the […] Come comment on this article: Cronologics announces acquisition by Google to help with Android Wear Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fb68926c7cd1063016b99bd10ce74456._.gif News via TalkAndroid

Gboard, the updated Google Keyboard, finally shows up for Android
by Guest Jeff Causey- 0 replies
- 19 views
Earlier this year Google released a new version of their keyboard app and in the process rebranded the app to Gboard. At the time the new app was part of a string of app updates pointing toward Google’s apps being more integrated and perhaps being a harbinger of the Google Assistant technology. One bad feature […] Come comment on this article: Gboard, the updated Google Keyboard, finally shows up for Android Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/29aa9474b28af614b0b4731eebab2578._.gif News via TalkAndroid

The honest Suicide Squad trailer is the only Suicide Squad worth watching
by Guest Chris Smith- 0 replies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c920f67231a3db413719fb012deb891e.jpg As much as it pains me to admit it, Suicide Squad is one of the worst movies of the year, and there have been quite a few disappointments this year. Suicide Squad started with a great promise: it was supposed to be a film about bad guys forced into doing good for the government in a world of superheroes. It has a great cast, and it had amazing trailers. It looked like a sure hit. If you haven’t seen the movie, then this honest trailer for Suicide Squad is the only thing you need to see. If you saw the film, you’re going to enjoy this parody trailer even more. Continue reading... Tre…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/0cf973f1dbd9055cab2c6d37e79b9d8f.png The epic battle between Call of Duty and Battlefield for your first-person shooter dollars doesn't always have a clear winner. Both franchises have had their fare shares of ups and downs, but this year's showdown seems to have a very obvious winner and loser. As CNBC reports, several Wall Street analysts are claiming that overall sales of disc-based copies of the most recent Call of Duty title, Infinite Warfare, are down a whopping 50% when compared to sales of last year's release, Black Ops III.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f4bebf7366c0e0845a19a331186c810f.gif Now that the whole "hoverboard" craze has finally died out — thanks in no small part to the habit the cheaply-made rideable gadgets have of bursting into flames — we can sit back and appreciate the very small number of situations in which they are actually useful. This hoverboard owner from Wisconsin has discovered that, with a talented pilot on board, the two-wheeled contraptions make a fine snowplow substitute. Continue reading...

Aside from a vaguely worded statement indicating that the company needed more time before Airpods were ready for customers, Apple has largely left prospective buyers in the dark. Continue reading...

I originally said 10 seconds; as it turns out, Apple beat my estimation by 7,775,990 seconds. Sometime in the last week, I lost the headphone adapter. Continue reading...

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9356ded50bf35a90fbf46c480d1a2216.jpg Shortly before the first episode of season 7 of The Walking Dead aired, Norman Reedus (who plays Daryl) said that the premiere episode was so crazy that viewers will want to "kick their TV sets" by the end of the show. And true to form, the first episode was nothing short of a gruesome and heart-wrenching affair that saw Negan mercilessly brutalize and kill two of the shows most beloved characters, Glenn and Abraham. With episode 8 set to air later tonight, and thus bringing the first half of season 7 to a close, we now have another intriguing warning from a Walking Dead cast-member, this…
