Flash storage performance on devices have never been good (especially on tablets, ASUS has had a lot of trouble but it isn’t just limited to them).

Getting Flash working on devices… Read more

If you’re ever stuck with a soft bricked RAZR or RAZR MAXX on ICS, now you can fix it with the newly released fastboot files. With these files and a program called RSDLite, you can flash your phone to stock software. It’s the Odin of Motorola phones, except nowhere near as open. Either way, it can be a life saver when you’ve accidentally screwed… Read more
The Nexus 7 was made to directly compete with tablets like the Kindle Fire. the 7″ form factor and incredibly low price was exactly what Google was going for, but unlike with the Kindle Fire, they didn’t skimp on internals.

Months after Adobe confirmed they are ending support for Flash Player on mobile devices including Android, comes the announcement that they will not support Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

The app TriangleAway, a staple of any rooted Galaxy SII user’s arsenal, has been updated for both the Galaxy SIII and the international Galaxy Note.
