<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
When the CyanogenMod folks announced the formation of Cyanogen Inc.
 back in September, the young company had secured $7 million in funding 
to help it get off the ground. Now, with a few months of momentum behind
 it, the company has secured an additional $22 million. This money comes
 from the California-based venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz 
along with pre-established partners Benchmark and Redpoint.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
These new funds will help Cyanogen Inc. throw more resources at 
cranking out code, sponsoring events, and growing its team of engineers 
and designers. Yet money isn't all the company has acquired lately. 
Peter Levine from Andreessen Horowitz is joining the company's board of 
directors. Tencent, China's largest Internet company, will also serve as
 a strategic partner. More symbolically, though, the team has picked up a
 large showing of support from sources other than its users, and that's 
nothing to shake a stick at.</div>

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Hits The Play Store For $6.99 Go West, Young Man

<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
We've already cruised through Liberty City 
and significantly lowered property values in Vice City, now it's time 
for a west coast vacation in San Andreas. The third Grand Theft Auto 
game of the PlayStation 2 era just landed on the Play Store in its 
blocky, polygonal, sandbox glory, and you can pick it up for a cool 
$6.99. No in-app purchases, no time-outs, just good old-fashioned 
Rockstar madness. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
San Andreas takes the GTA action to California with a huge, fictional
 city amalgamating Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas, and some 
rural backcountry that hadn't been seen in the series up to that point. 
Like Vice City before it, San Andreas moves the clock back, this time 
going to a slightly larger-than-life version of the early 90s. You play 
as CJ, a young African American making his way through the various 
facets of the criminal underworld. You steal cars. You kill people. You 
do other things that kids probably shouldn't be allowed to do in video 
games. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
  </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
This was the last GTA game on the PS2 and Xbox, and for a lot of 
players, it was significantly better than Grand Theft Auto 4, which 
tended to lose focus with <em>too </em>much to do in the fictional city.
 Improvements over Vice City include slightly better graphics, more 
vehicles, customizable cars and player avatars, an entirely new 
genre-spanning soundtrack, and expanded mini-games. The Android version 
features adjustable graphic settings and compatibility with MOGA and 
other Bluetooth controllers. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The game is an enormous 2.4 gigabytes, so clear away some space on 
your phone or tablet before buying it. Also, it looks like a number of 
early buyers are having download issues. The game is also available for 
at least some Kindle Fire models <a class="external" href="http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-San-Andreas/dp/B00HCU7OCI?tag=androidpolice-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">over on the Amazon Appstore</a>. </div>

<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The concept of using your smartphone as a 
remote isn't a new one. Modern flagship devices such as the Galaxy S4, 
HTC One, and LG G2 all have built-in IR blasters and ship with 
pre-installed apps for controlling your TV. The Play Store even has a 
few downloadable options
 with more features. Now Comcast is rolling out a remote of its own 
intended specifically to control its new generation of XFINITY boxes. 
You know, the ones with <a class="external" href="http://www.comcast.com/x1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the sleek black UI</a>, not the aging blue one </div>

<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Not only does the app have the obvious ability to change channels and
 pause whatever's on, it comes with voice commands to make searching for
 shows easier. Just tap the mic and name what you're looking for. If 
you're not sure, you can also ask for genres, sports teams, or TV 
schedules to guide you in the right direction.</div>

Adobe Revel Comes To The Play Store To Provide Adobe Flavored Photo Sharing

adnane 14 Applications, News March 05, 2014

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PYCD3WTdWp0/UxcgcekGqbI/AAAAAAAABE8/bJ5VqLY_neM/s1600/nexusae0_unnamed_thumb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PYCD3WTdWp0/UxcgcekGqbI/AAAAAAAABE8/bJ5VqLY_neM/s1600/nexusae0_unnamed_thumb.png" /></a></div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
If you're entrenched in Adobe's creative 
ecosystem, or just want to try a new photo editing and storage solution 
for your mobile devices, you may be interested to learn that the company
 has brought an official Revel app to the Play Store.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Before discussing the app, it would be prudent to remind readers that
 Adobe Revel works on a plan system with free and paid options - for 
free, you get unlimited photo and video imports for 30 days. After that 
you're limited to 50 total imports per month. For $5.99 per month, you 
unlock unlimited imports. Those interested in finding out more can check
 out Adobe's <a class="external" href="https://www.adoberevel.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">official Revel site</a>.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Adobe pitches the Revel app as the latest extension of the service, 
which is reaching Android for the first time (excluding of course 
Adobe's <a class="external" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.revel.importer" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Revel Importer app</a>).
 The service, for those unaware, is essentially a cloud photo backup and
 storage platform. The app adds minor photo edits to this (think 
filters, cropping, and red-eye removal), and touts Revel's collaborative
 prowess, inviting users to share with family members, encourage 
relatives to share their own photos, or automatically sharing daily 
moments with simple settings. All of this, of course, is done securely.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The app also plays nice with Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere 
Elements 12, allowing for expanded editing in those programs and easier 
importing of results into your Revel library. Revel might be worth a 
look from anyone who hasn't already landed on a photo storage solution, 
but the limit on free accounts doesn't really foster the kind of 
free-flowing photo collaboration Adobe touts, so it may not be an 
appealing solution for everyone.</div>

Ouya Confirms Ouya Everywhere Program, Will Embed Its Platform In More Devices

 </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
There were rumblings earlier this week 
about something called 'Ouya Everywhere.' You can take a guess at what 
that entails just based on the name, and you'd probably be pretty close.
 Ouya boss Julie Uhrman has now confirmed Ouya Everywhere is about 
expanding the platform beyond that one little cube. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Details are extremely limited right now. The confirmation on Ouya 
Everywhere only came at the end of a blog post about recent efforts to 
beef up the Ouya's games and software. What we do know is that Ouya has 
some partners lined up for the Ouya Everywhere initiative, so you might 
be seeing the Ouya store in more devices. We don't know what kind of 
devices, though. Other micro-consoles? Phones? Hardware specifics will 
probably figure in. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Uhrman clarified that Ouya plans to continue making its own hardware 
going forward, but there's nothing concrete on that front. The Ouya came
 out last June, and the company did say there would be yearly hardware 
revisions. If Ouya is doing as well as hoped, it shouldn't be too long 
until we get more information about both sides of its gaming ventures. </div>

The RAR app for Android lets you create ZIP and RAR archives, but you
 can unpack RAR, ZIP, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, 7z, ISO, ARJ archives. There are
 also options to repair damaged archives and it supports encryption for 
creating and unpacking archives. It even comes with device benchmarking. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The app isn't particularly lovely, but it follows the Android design 
guidelines with a minimum of clutter. There's a holo light theme that 
looks a little more modern, in my opinion. It's definitely something to 
look into on the basis of features alone.</div>

Kingston Joins The Dual USB/MicroUSB Flash Drive Craze With Its Own DataTraveler MicroDuo

It wasn't too long ago that I would have 
thought of a dual USB/MicroUSB flash drive as a dream accessory. Now the
 landscape has changed so quickly, I'm nearly embarrassed that I have 
yet to buy one. When we first heard about the Leef Bridge Dual-USB/MicroUSB flash drive,
 the idea was still novel enough that its quirky name wasn't 
off-putting. Since then the more traditional players have jumped into 
the ring, with SanDisk and Sony
 both coming out with their own drives. Now add Kingston's name to that 
list. Its DataTraveler microDuo is available in 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB 
doses.</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
One side of the flash drive can plug into your PC while the other 
goes into your phone (though not at the same time). This allows you to 
move files between devices without having to rely on an internet 
connection, even if your handset doesn't have a microSD card slot. Your 
phone will still need to run Android 4.0 or higher and have USB OTG 
support in order to enjoy the gadget, so before you run out to get one, 
be sure to hit up this <a class="external" href="http://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/otg_compatibility" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">compatibility list</a> beforehand.</div>

Today Microsoft has released the Office 365
 software development kit for Android. With it, the company wants to

provides APIs granting permission to call upon SharePoint lists and

<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The SDK requires Android 4.0.3 or higher to run, and Microsoft has shared <a class="external" href="http://msopentech.com/blog/2014/03/03/new-open-source-sdk-for-android-brings-office-365-apps-to-life/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">an introductory blog post</a> to get you started.

Sony Xperia Z Starting Today Android 4.3 Is Rolling Out To T-Mobile's

adnane 20 android, News, Smartphones, sony March 04, 2014

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on">
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Update: </strong>It looks like 
T-Mobile got cold feet. The support page has been reverted to its 
previous state, showing only the Android 4.2 update from November. 
Sorry, folks. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Do you use a Sony Xperia Z? Did you buy it from T-Mobile? Then check that Settings menu - according to <a class="external" href="http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-6723" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this T-Mo support page</a>,
 you're getting a taste of Jelly Bean 4.3 starting today. Of course 
these things tend to go out in waves, so those without patience can 
follow the links on T-Mobile's site and manually download and flash the 
new software (10.4.C.0.797) using the Sony PC Companion software. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The last time T-Mobile's carrier-customized version of the Z got an update was way back in November, when it was upgraded to Android 4.2. The vanilla international version of the Xperia Z
 got its 4.3 update in December, so this is a pretty typical delay for 
an American carrier's update. According to the support page, users can 
expect UI improvements to the UXP Air and WiFi calling apps, the 
SwiftKey keyboard replaces a similar one from Nuance, and a 5-bar signal
 is present instead of a 4-bar version. </div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
T-Mobile's software update weighs in a 308MB, which isn't bad as 
these things go. It's recommended that you have your battery charged to 
at least 50% before beginning the update. Have fun. Oh, and don't ask 
how long it will take T-Mobile to get Android 4.4 to your phones - Sony has confirmed that the Xperia Z will get KitKat, but there's no timeframe in place. </div>

<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
After showing up as a humongous ROM,
 the T-Mobile LG G2's Android 4.4.2 update is making its way to devices 
as a regular OTA. Well, it's probably getting the update. T-Mobile's 
support page is a little fuzzy on the details, but today (March 3rd) is 
listed as the start date for the software's availability. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
The support page says the update is available now, so you might be 
able to manually check for updates and install. However, the doc also 
says the OTA prompt will hit devices between March 6th and 25th. This 
might be referring only to the notification for people who don't check 
for updates obsessively (or read Android Police). Best of luck.</div>

Microsoft Word build a platform for the expansion of gaming Xbox Live

<div class="post_content" style="text-align: center;">
Microsoft has already dabbled around with expanding the Xbox Live experience to mobile devices, but if a recent report from <a class="external" href="http://www.theverge.com/2014/3/3/5465250/xbox-live-android-ios-cross-platform-games" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Verge</a>
 is to be believed, the company may be about to ramp up its efforts 
significantly. Our good friend Sources, who is familiar with Microsoft's
 plans, claims that Microsoft is building a platform that would extend 
Xbox Live functionality to Android and iOS. Instead of using Google Play
 Games or Apple's Game Center to track achievements, find other players,
