		<description><![CDATA[ The Amazon Kindle Fire is one of the better selling Android tablets as a result of its low entry price and deep integration with Amazon products and services.  The giant online retail company looks to keep the train rolling with a high-end 10.1 inch Kindle Fire tablet featuring a faster, quad-core processor.  The rumored 10.1 inch tablet is expected to launch in Q3 of 2012, according to a Digitimes report. Amazon is gearing for a fight against Apple, and feels a 10.1 tablet up their sleeves will sell more than an 8.9 inch tablet.  Previously, Amazon planned to launch a 8.9 inch Kindle Fire, but that tablet has reportedly been suspended in production. Of course, there is no official word from Amazon on the matter; and there likely won&#8217;t be until we get closer to the third quarter.  However, there is a strong chance we will see an upgraded Kindle Fire model in the form of a 10 inch device come to the market in the near future.

		<description><![CDATA[ Androinica.com recaps the new and interesting apps in the Google Play Store each week. We select these apps by weeding through the Play Store and trying to find things we think people might be interested in. This week, the theme is &#8220;Everything is Social&#8221; because every app mentioned, save one, is built around the concept of connecting with others. Click on the install button to get download links. QUICK HITS hi5 has finally released an official Android app for members of the social gaming network, used primarily in Latin America and some parts of Asia. The app lets members of the social gaming network view profiles, message or chat with friends, view photos, connect with others, and manage their Pets Profiles. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ In order to commemorate an important milestone for DoubleTwist, the folks behind the app have decided to launch a special sale promotion for its current paid apps which includes AirSync , DoubleTwist app upgrades, and the DoubleTwist Alarm Clock .  Over two million users are actively using the DoubleTwist apps available in the Google Play store.  The sale is 50% off on the paid apps, so the AirSync app, which is usually $5.00 is now $2.49.  In addition, the DoubleTwist Alarm Clock app is typically $2.00, but with the deal it is just $0.99. There is no word on how long the DoubleTwist promotion will last for, but my bet is at least through the weekend.  If you wanted to test out some of the DoubleTwist apps but never wanted to pay the price, now might be the time to indulge your curiosities.

		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;ve often overlooked ugly Android apps because they performed well enough. But as time passed and more apps emerged that are just as pretty as they are functional, it&#8217;s become hard to put up with apps that aren&#8217;t easy on the eyes. Solid Explorer has found that balance between beauty and power to quickly become my favorite Android file explorer, and it&#8217;s not even out of beta yet. Solid Explorer is an Android 2.2+ app that looks incredible. The app features a white-to-gray gradient design with great icons and sensible menus that put the cluttered look of other apps to shame. There&#8217;s even a dark theme that looks just as good, and the ability to view by list, grid, or detailed list or grid. The interface then makes it easy to filter, organize, bookmark, or search to quickly locate items. And if you need to move a file, wait until you get a look at two-panel browsing. Aside from the looks of Solid Explorer, the features are also beautiful. The app can read ZIP, TAR, and RAR archives, as well as create ZIP or TAR archives from the files stored on an Android device. Users can even connect the app to their box or Dropbox cloud storage. That makes it easy to manage files directly from Solid Explorer, enabling things like cut, copy, rename, delete, and open files. Solid Explorer is still in beta, but its feature set is rock solid. The app is available for free in Google Play. Here are just a few more features supported, as well as quick video demonstration: Two independent panels for browsing Drag and Drop inside and between panels FTP, SFTP and SMB/CIFS clients File sharing via FTP Root access (file rooted devices) Indexed search, also available from the system (search for files from the Google Search widget/app) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Emergency blood bank and plasma center directory. Find a local place if you get hurt and need blood. Locate plasma centers and get paid up to $40 USD per hour cash. Review cordblood storage banks for keeping stemcell and dna material. Over 3100 locations in United States and Canada listed with a growing community of over 6800 ratings and reviews from our loyal users. Since 2002 BloodBanker.com has been THE resource for promoting blood donation awareness education and providing a volunteer made directory. Here are the top 3 facts on blood donation on why it is so important 3. A serious car accident requires the amount of blood from 50 people 2. Cancer patients need blood from 8 people every week 1. Every 2 seconds someone in the USA needs blood More on why donating blood is awesome...from author Michael S. Williams. Though not controversial enough to qualify as front page news sparse blood supply is affecting each person on this planet. You have a 25 likelihood to need a blood transfusion in your lifetime. When that time comes would you want to be on a waiting list because there is no blood in stock at the hospital? Despite the scarcity of blood supply in Europe and the United States donations make up 48 of the 91.8 million donations in the world. All that blood for people who make up just 15 of the worlds population. Of the almost 92 million donations only 4.3 donations have been reported from the 45 African countries. A blood supply that is scarcer than scarce since these countries make up 12 of the global population. The low turnout of donors mean a very low supply for transfusions. Severe blood loss or hemorrhage is a leading cause of 34 maternal deaths in Africa this can occur during their pregnant state on delivery and post partum. Low blood supply also accounts for 31 of maternal deaths in Asia and 21 deaths in Latin America and the Caribbean. Transfusion is one of the lifesaving steps hospitals recommend for cases of severe bleeding anytime during pregnancy and after delivery. Without access to a healthy blood supply mothers are dying. Access to a safe blood supply and lifesaving measures are a big issue in low income homes like the ones in Africa. Not only volunteer blood donors are needed but volunteers for blood banks in these parts of the world. Many recipients of donor blood have gone on to become donors themselves. If not for donors they would have been dead or suffered lingering pain. Once an accident happens and it hits close to home having lifesaving blood available lessens the burden. Blood donation may not be for everybody there are many ways to make several hours of your time matter for the community. In 2009 Paul de Gelder a NAVY diver got fatally bitten by a shark in Sydney Harbor while on duty. He had lost a lot of blood and the time he got to the hospital he couldnt breathe properly or move. He lost his right leg and his right forearm that bled profusely. He survived thanks to 300 units of blood and the 150 donors who made it possible for the transfusion. In the United States Brian Boyle had every major organ damaged and bones damaged in a terrible car accident. He died 8 times during recovery and had 36 transfusions to replace 60 of the blood he lost. For Brian a single pint from each person can help not only strangers but loved ones who will be forever grateful. He now volunteers his and donates blood to the Red Cross. He is also an Ironheart Triathlete. There is NO substitution for human blood when it comes to operations and treating a whole host of diseases. Dont let blood shortages become common place support blood donation because you never know when you might need it Also if you want to donate more to this noble cause please visit BloodBanker.com and find our about us page to learn more about how you can help. But most importantly spread the word about blood donation and we all benefit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Okay, here we go again. Verizon said it&#8217;s killing unlimited data plans when users upgrade, then said it would be nice enough to give you a warning first. Then hours later, the company clarified that it will provide an out for current customers with grandfathered unlimited data plans &#8211; you can keep operating under a meter-free model, but you&#8217;ll no longer get phone subsidies. The New York Times Bits blog reports that Verizon issued this statement when questioned about how it would transition customers to 4G. Customers will not be automatically moved to new shared data plans. If a 3G or 4G smartphone customer is on an unlimited plan now and they do not want to change their plan, they will not have to do so. When we introduce our new shared data plans, Unlimited Data will no longer be available to customers when purchasing handsets at discounted pricing. Customers who purchase phones at full retail price and are on an unlimited smartphone data plan will be able to keep that plan. The same pricing and policies will be applied to all 3G and 4GLTE smartphones. Sounds like a fair trade. The key point to take away from this is that Verizon isn&#8217;t taking away unlimited data plans. If customers want to continue watching videos, browsing the web, and video chatting without eyeing restrictive data caps, they can. The downside is that they&#8217;ll have to pay full price for phone upgrades, but that might be in their best interest. S Consider the cost of the lowest tier of a single data plan on Verizon &#8211; $30 for 2 GB of data per billing period &#8211; is the same as grandfathered unlimited plans. Over the course of a two-year agreement, that&#8217;s $720. Anyone still clinging to an unlimited plan probably wants more than 2 GB, so the monthly 5 GB ($50) or 10 GB ($80) plans are more desirable. Those plans cost $1,200 and $1,920 respectively. Even if a user pays the $500 to $700 full price for their next phone, it might be more cost effective to pay the upfront costs. You&#8217;ll save a couple of dollars, have more flexibility in your contract, and have higher data access. At worst, you spend more up front, spend comparable amounts of money, and get the peace of mind of not having to temper your usage habits like the rest of us. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It&#8217;s a shame that the HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint and the HTC One X are being held up at Customs until a review is completed of these two devices as result of an ITC ruling.  The HTC EVO 4G LTE was scheduled to launch tomorrow across Sprint and other third party retailers, but the date is going to pass as Sprint informs its customers of the issue at Customs.  Unfortunately, Best Buy has been heavily promoting its pre-order promotion for the EVO 4G LTE, but those orders will clearly not be delivered on time. Today, however, Best Buy has been reportedly emailing customers who pre-ordered the EVO 4G LTE saying it would ship on May 23.  Now, there isn&#8217;t an official post from Best Buy, Sprint, or HTC on the shipment matter, but the email screen below (received by AndroidCentral) does look legitimate. I imagine we will find out in a couple of days whether the HTC EVO 4G LTE will, indeed, ship to Best Buy customers who pre-ordered the device. [ AndroidCentral ] ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ New Orleans played host to the U.S. mobile industry last week for the CTIA Wireless show, and it looks like AT&#038;T left a little gift behind to thank the Big Easy for being so welcoming &#8211; a 4G LTE network. AT&#038;T announced today that 4G LTE service is now officially available in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as well as Naples, Florida. These three cities join the small but growing list of cities to gain LTE service from AT&#038;T this year. Customers from the Northshore and Southshore should now see mobile Internet speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G. That&#8217;s provided that the customer has an LTE-capable device like the Samsung Galaxy Note or the AT&#038;T One X (though I hear those are hard to come by these days .) Aside from the faster download speeds, there should be a considerable increase in upload speeds and improved network performance. LTE offers faster responses to data transfer with lower latency, which comes in handy for things like viewing or broadcasting higher quality video. Based on what we&#8217;ve heard from some AT&#038;T customers who have been in LTE markets, subscribers can expect some great speeds for the first few weeks since there are fewer users when it first launches. However, expect network performance to taper just a bit as more people log on. (It will still be much better than your current speeds.) UPDATE: Naples, Florida got 4G, too! UPDATE #2: Baton Rouge, too. Geaux get it! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ We live in a time-shifting world. DVR&#8217;s play TV shows whenever we want, music is streamed on-demand, and reading apps allow us to bookmark articles to peruse at our pace. But which is the best app? Which reading queue app reigns supreme when comparing Instapaper, Readability, Pocket (formerly Read It Later), and Pulse? Good question. Androinica.com has reviewed most of these apps previously, but all have been updated since then. Below is a look at the top apps that allow users to bookmark articles and have them formatted for easy reading on mobile devices. Compatibility and performance may vary across devices, but a comparison chart below compares major features. Disagree with the findings or think an app was left out? Let us know in the comments section below. Papermill (Instapaper) Instapaper ranks among one of the highest-rated reading queue apps, but its creator is shamelessly anti-Android and refuses to support the OS. Papermill steps in to support Instapaper with a great grey, blue, and white design. (Users can switch to a dark mode or adjust text size.) Papermill imports a user&#8217;s Instapaper list and can filter according to Likes and items that have been archived. Content is available offline, and an article can be opened in a browser. Users can set a download limit (10-100) and a time of day when to automatically sync with Instapaper. The downside of Papermill is that it requires an Instapaper subscription. It&#8217;s tough to warrant the $3.99 purchase when one considers you&#8217;ll have to consider spending a $1 per month to continue using it. Sure, it&#8217;s only a buck, but it&#8217;s still a buck more than you&#8217;ll pay to the other apps. The only reason to buy Papermill is if you love Instapaper and need support on Android, because this is the best-looking Android Instapaper app around. Pulse Pulse is known more as a stylized reader for RSS feeds and pre-programmed channels built around interests or subjects. However, people often fail to realize that the app actually has a built-in component that can import a reading list saved from the desktop. Connecting the app to a Pulse.me account allows the user to click a bookmarklet in their browser and automatically add articles to a special section of the app that organizes a queue according to date. Interestingly enough, it even can import from Instapaper, Pocket, Readability, or Evernote. Users can mark items as favorites, share to other apps, and adjust the text size or look of the basic design. The downside of Pulse is that it lacks the intricate filters and tags available in the other reading apps &#8211; it&#8217;s a last come, first displayed list. The reason to favor this option is that it&#8217;s an all-encompassing app. Pulse can display your saved feeds, popular trending articles, and your personalized queue. No, it&#8217;s not as customizable as the other apps, but it offers a centralized solution that the other apps mentioned here don&#8217;t have. If you want all your reading in one place, this is your app Pocket Pocket was Read It Later, a desktop and mobile app that specialized in earmarking articles to be read at a later time, formatting the articles to only have the important text and photos. The app has been rebranded to Pocket with a much better design that shows thumbnails and headlines as you browse. And unlike the other app, Pocket is prepared to import articles and photos or videos, as well as let users filter according to category. (You can also browse by tags or search to locate an article.) Pocket also does a great job of importing from other apps, so you can save pretty much anything. The downside of Pocket is that the design, while absolutely beautiful on a phone, needs a little bit of touching up on large-screen tablets. Formatting in the navigation was a little off and images are downsized, but the app does an overall decent job and it&#8217;s still compatible with tablets. This is the app to use if you are as likely to bookmark a YouTube or Vimeo video as you are an article at your favorite news site. Readability When it comes to customization and style, Readability earns high marks. The app has great light and dark themes, as well as a beautiful set of. Readability makes it easy to browse through a queue, favorites, and archives, and it has the best desktop adding mechanism of any app. Users can click a bookmarklet, browser icon, or use a keyboard shortcut to add a current page to the queue. It&#8217;s also great for switching between the stripped-down content view or going to the full web version. The &#8220;Read It Now&#8221; option especially comes in handy when looking to remove unnecessary content on a mobile device. The downside is that Readability has experienced some stability and consistency issues on some device models. Crashes and sluggishness have been reported, and updates have yet to completely address these issues for everyone. The app has done well to limit the polling frequency for updating the reading list, but it needs more options to control how often it searches for new items. Readability is best for users who love the desktop service and fall in love with the instant &#8220;Read Now&#8221; feature and desktop features. Try the app and if it works well on your device, this may be the best option. And the winner is…. Click image to see full-size As always, we stress that what works for one person doesn&#8217;t work for everyone. Try out all these options and see what works best for you. For my money, I&#8217;d have to say that the best is Pocket. I&#8217;m a sucker for a good design, and Pocket can compete with any app in that regard. Throw in better handling of multimedia, solid sharing and intents functions, and a free price tag, and Pocket stands out as the benchmark reading service for which all others should aspire to beat. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Automotive companies have embraced the advantages of smartphone technology; however, it&#8217;s been a treacherous road to navigate. Carmakers like the idea of apps improving technology, but they aren&#8217;t too keen on encouraging drivers to be distracted. The Car Connectivity Consortium, made up of various auto and electronic manufacturers, has joined together to establish an industry standard for certifying apps and devices that are both safe and useful for drivers. That standard is MirrorLink. MirrorLink is a system that connects smartphones with in-car &#8220;infotainment&#8221; systems and select aftermarket stereos. Phones connect via USB cable, and the MirrorLink-enabled car or radio automatically detects that a dashboard of approved car apps should appear. Music, navigation, or other approved apps are then controllable by touchscreen or steering wheel controls. MirrorLink-enabled car monitors mirror whatever is on the phone&#8217;s screen, so it becomes easier to control a music app or place calls via Bluetooth. Auto companies have used their own systems to perform these functions, but some are clunky and most are limited in scope and capability. This system doesn&#8217;t quite work for everyone, which is why the Car Connectivity Consortium banded together to simplify the process. &#8220;There&#8217;s a need in this industry to create one common way to connect your phone to the car and find a way to operate apps in a safe manner while driving,&#8221; Mika Rytkonen, chairman of CCC, said in a recent interview with Androinica.com. Rytkonen notes that it will take time for consortium members to implement MirrorLink across their product line, and some will take longer than others to transition from their existing systems, but there are encouraging signs of adoption. &#8220;I think that Toyota was quite a big surprise how fast they were able to implement it to the market in the Toyota IQ,&#8221; Rytkonen said. There has yet to be an Android phone capable of MirrorLink, but Samsung is out to be the first with its Galaxy S III. It probably won&#8217;t be the only phone considering that HTC, Motorola, and LG Electronics are also members of the consortium. Other members include Alpine, Fiat, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, and many more ( full list here ). MirrorLink members are working to implement a system that will be deployed at most major car manufacturers and be easily utilized by smartphone makers and consumers. The goal is that consumers will be able to have as little distraction as possible because MirrorLink will have &#8220;the first ever cross-industry user interface guidelines,&#8221; according to Alfred Tom, who chairs the CCC Ecosystem Workgroup. Tom added in addition to streamlining the interface and connectivity standards, MirrorLink will also be empowered by developers outside of the car/phone system. The consortium is working on a system that would allow developers to have their apps certified as safe to use, and under what conditions. (MirrorLink won&#8217;t allow video to play if the car is moving, but it might be possible in park. Until now, most Android-based in-car use centered on a car dock and auxiliary plug of some kind. MirrorLink starting to appear in products should make the way our cars and phone communicate smarter, so long as drivers use common sense and drive safely. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Verizon CFO Fran Shammo touched a wave of questions yesterday when he said that Verizon would force customers off their unlimited data plans. It wasn&#8217;t the first time that Verizon had signaled that it would do away with unlimited data &#8211; the company stopped offering such plans in July 2011 &#8211; but it touched off a wave of confusion over what would happen to unlimited users on 4G devices. Today, Verizon issued a statement that doesn&#8217;t answer any of these questions or provide any clarity on the matter. However, Verizon did assure that if and when it does away with unlimited data plans completely, the company will give customers ample time to know and decide if the terms will be suitable. Brenda B. Raney, executive director of Corporate Communications at Verizon, issued the following statement a short time ago: As we have stated publicly, Verizon Wireless has been evaluating its data pricing structure for some time. Customers have told us that they want to share data, similar to how they share minutes today. We are working on plans to provide customers with that option later this year. We will share specific details of the plans and any related policy changes well in advance of their introduction, so customers will have time to evaluate their choices and make the best decisions for their wireless service. It is our goal and commitment to continue to provide customers with the same high value service they have come to expect from Verizon Wireless. There&#8217;s no definitive word that Verizon will force all customers off their grandfathered unlimited data plans, but Shammo&#8217;s comments and Verizon&#8217;s refusal to clarify makes it appear as that&#8217;s likely to happen. However, anyone currently on an unlimited plan will not suddenly see their phone capped tomorrow. Verizon will make changes official some time this summer and give customers a heads-up about when it will be time to pay up for extra data or pay someone else. ]]></description>
