Gamestop seem to be a company jumping all over the place at the moment. Gamestop has noticed that no one seems to be buying games from your basic game shops, thus they are trying to find other revenue streams. Last week it was leaked that they are working on a Steam competitor and now it has been announced they are working on their own Android gaming tablet! Really.. a Gamestop gaming tablet! No one is going buy that surely.

Most people already know a lot about the upcoming iPhone 5, but there is limited information about the Google Nexus 3.

The Google Nexus 3 isnt expected to be your average Android handset. The Nexus 3 will feature Android 4 software, which is expected to show off an all new user interface for the operating system. It will be very interesting to see if Google can actually ramp of sales of their own handsets, because up until now they have been unable to compete!

CNN was trying to provide an indepth and immersive news experience and I think they might have pulled it off. The application allows the user to switch between US and international editions and has a huge range of text articles, videos, photos, live video, podcasts and more.

CNN is very late to the party, but they have at least delivered a decent product. The official app is free and is available for download now. The app runs on Android 2.1 and higher.

“An application like BabbleOn is the next step in the social media arena, and will certainly revolutionize the way we communicate online,” said Michael Mills, President and founder of BabbleOn. “This application will break down the walls of social media communication and allow users to create voice messages for all to actually hear. For instance, you can sing Happy Birthday to your sister who lives across the country, record your baby’s first words, tell all your friends all at once you just got engaged or just update your status… the possibilities are endless and more efficient and satisfying than typing a message.”

Using the App is just as easy. Simply log on to your Facebook account through the BabbleOn App, press and hold the talk bubble to record then choose to post your message either to your wall or your friend’s wall on Facebook. The BabbleOn App includes:

• Simple and intuitive user interface.
• Ability to listen to your babble (recorded message) to determine whether you delete and start over again before posting to Facebook.
• Provides full access to your friends list on Facebook.
• Add custom text to babbles.

BabbleOn Technologies Inc. plans to expand the BabbleOn App with the upcoming launch of the online BabbleOn Community (www.BabbleOn.com). The website will allow users to follow friends, celebrities or products and see what all the babble is about as well as mingle and voice opinions on various topics via their computer or smartphone.

There have been a lot of reports that the Android platform now has over 250,000 apps. I find this a little hard to believe when the Apple App Store only has around 350,000 apps. I know the Android platform has been gaining a lot of adoption recently, but has it really grown this much?

Last month, Google former CEO Eric Schmidt (now chairman) at the Mobile World Congress revealed to the world that the Android Market had surpassed 150,000 apps as of February.

Thus, in a little over 30 days have they really added 100,000 apps!

Poor old Steve Jobs has always mentioned the speed of iOS, but in fact they need to step it up a gear.

Blaze ran over 43,000 tests and the research was very conclusive. Real phones were used, connecting to real websites and measured using custom-built agents designed to measure page load speed.

Will you now be more interested in getting an Android phone?

It seems as thought these additions really draw away from the fact that Pulse was a great way of finding quality independent news sources.

“We wanted to experiment with social news, photos and videos — hence, we picked these initial sources. All these services have really neat APIs, and it literally took Charles [new team member Charles Chen] two weeks to get this up and running,” says co-founder Akshay Kothari. “Many more to come — stay tuned!”

Prey can notify users about the device location sending a signal over the Internet, or SMS in case of Android phones. The program runs as an agent in background and is completely silent. Here are some of the specs:

• Open Source and completely free.
• 100% geolocation aware. Prey uses either the device’s GPS or the nearest WiFi hotspots to triangulate and grab a fix on its location.
• Know your enemy. Take a picture of the thief with your laptop’s webcam so you know what he looks like and where he’s hiding.
• No unauthorized Access. Fully lock down your PC, making it unusable unless a specific password is entered.
• Wifi auto connect. If enabled, Prey will attempt to hook onto to the nearest open WiFi hotspot when no Internet connection is found.
• Watch their movements. Grab a screenshot of the active session.
• Scan your hardware. Get a complete list of your PC’s CPU, motherboard, RAM, and BIOS information.
• Light as a feather. Prey has very few dependencies and doesn’t even leave a memory footprint until activated.
• Keep your data safe. Hide your Outlook or Thunderbird data and optionally remove your stored passwords, so no one will be able to look into your stuff.
• Full auto updater. Prey can check its current version and automatically fetch and update itself, so you don’t need to manually reinstall each time.

Remote Desktop for most power and/or IT users represents the way of accessing a remote’s computer desktop by reaching it using an IP address; but is more than that. Using Remote Desktop protocol, users can access their applications, installed on a remote computer, without actually installing them locally.

This functionality, without an official announcement by Google, appeared in a Google forum; made by software designer inside the developing of Chrome: “We’re adding new capabilities all the time,” wrote Kačmarčík. “With this functionality (unofficially named ‘chromoting’), Chrome OS will not only be [a] great platform for running modern Web apps, but will also enable you to access legacy PC applications right within the browser.”

For me, almost anything representing legacy or an interoperability support sounds like a good idea; especially in today’s market when some are thinking that by being more restrictive they will win.

Oh no, I’m not misspelling, this one is called the iPed. And you can find it in Shenzhen, China available with a cost of U$S100, where also the iPad costs U$S536.

But that’s not all the differences between these two tablets. The iPed contains an Intel chip inside and Google’s operating system Android.

Let’s take a closer look to the product:

The box seems similar?

Wait… what I’m reading there…?

Oh, neither iPod nor iPad… iPed, of course

Mmm… the manual says APad… I’m a little confused now
