Google recently released Google Drive, the company’s ver­sion of a cloud stor­age ser­vice, sim­i­lar to Drop­box, Sky­Drive, Sug­ar­Sync, and oth­ers. In essence, Google Drive is an exten­sion, or upgrade, of Google Docs. Here’s a short video from Google that explains what Google Drive is all about. I’ve been using Google Docs for sev­eral years as my […]

  This is an inter­est­ing announce­ment. I was just read­ing the other day that Google Music has not per­formed as well as expected (hoped). Of course, the tim­ing of this announce­ment is quite trans­par­ent. Just about every­one on the planet knows that Apple is expected to announce the iPad 3(HD?) tomor­row. Accord­ing to The Verge, […]

This is a pretty sim­ple give­away. I have two…just two…Google Music invites to share. If you’re inter­ested in an invite, please leave a com­ment below. I will ran­domly select two peo­ple from all that respond. The dead­line for this give­away is mid­night (EDT), Fri­day, August 5. Good luck! If you are not famil­iar with Google […]

  Ear­lier this week, I sent email to fam­ily and friends, and posted a note on Face­book, break­ing the news. After a good run with Google Voice, almost two years I think, we are split­ting up. Don’t fret. It was an ami­ca­ble split. In fact, we’re still friends, though, and may even come back together […]

As many of you know, I have been a vocal sup­porter of the Google Android plat­form. While my sup­port for Android remains sta­ble, it is, regretably, show­ing signs of stress. Since pick­ing up my first Android device nearly a year ago, I have noticed, and read about, a num­ber of lit­tle buggy things crop­ping up […]

Google recently released an update for Google Maps for Android devices, and it’s really nice. As you can see from the video, the map ren­ders build­ings in 3D (right now for 100 cities). The map also can ren­der from directly over­head to a tilted/angled per­spec­tive (with a two fin­ger up or down swipe ges­ture).   Google […]
