Know what makes me jealous? Phones with software that enable “Tap to Focus” in the camera like the iPhone and HTC Sense devices.

Sure I could root my Nexus One and add a Rom… Read more

This is MKBHD and I’m back with an application review for any Android device running version 1.5 and up . This is an alternative to the stock Android keyboard, which is sadly lacking a few features a lot of people may not notice they’re dying to have on their handsets. The app name is ‘Smart Keyboard’ and has a ‘Pro’ version available in the Android market… Read more
