When Google released developer previews for the Android N update to their operating system, one of the items spotted in there was apparent support for pressure-sensitive touch. This would be similar to what Apple implemented with 3D Touch on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. With only days left before Google I/O 2016 and […] Come comment on this article: Addition of pressure sensitive touch to Android to be delayed Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/eb169e7d471d3e54ebe2fab534cbbec2._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2606fae0179b11352b50873e22942088.pngEveryone has a favorite fictional character from a movie or TV show. If you're an action fan, it might be Indiana Jones, John McClane or Neo. Sci-fi fans likely prefer Luke Skywalker or James T. Kirk, while superhero fanatics might have trouble deciding between Iron Man, Batman, Captain America and Superman. But some of the most memorable characters in the history of media aren't really characters at all, but rather the vehicles that the characters get around in.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/f23ce2e2f05bc080ad322c16dbfbca93.jpgYesterday, Hyperloop One conducted the first test of the propulsion system that may eventually shoot people through tubes at very high speeds. Hyperloop One's CEO Rob Lloyd described the test as an "engineering milestone," but while it was undoubtedly impressive, Hyperloop still has a long way to go. It's worth remembering how Hyperloop is supposed to work. In Elon Musk's original plans, a pod carrying humans travels down a tube in a partial vacuum, levitating using compressed air, and being propelled forwards using electromagnets. Yesterday's test only involved the propulsion component. A "sl…

Among the many perks Amazon Prime has to offer is speedy free two-day shipping, which is a good enough reason to subscribe to the service if you shop online regularly. Walmart has in the past experimented with its own Prime-like subscription service that offered customers three-day free shipping for $50 a year.

The lowest price we’ve ever seen for Sony’s bassiest wireless headphones

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/c454ffcb4fd01ce8e090e859170cbef1.jpg People often shy away from wireless headphones because they don't always deliver the killer bass response most listeners are looking for. There are exceptions to every rule though, and the Sony MDR-XB950BT/B Extra Bass Bluetooth Wireless Headphones are definitely the exception to this one. Just look at all these killer reviews on Amazon, where these Sony headphones have a 4.3-star rating from nearly 800 customer reviews. They typically retail for about $150 which is a solid price for the bassiest wireless headphones we've ever tried. But if you move quickly and you don't mind a manufactur…
