Sony Smartwatch 3 now at the Google Play Store, coming soon

Sony has made its desire known to be a major player in the burgeoning market of wearables. Its newest effort is the svelte and sleek-looking Sony Smartwatch 3, which follows in the trail of Motorola’s relatively successful round-face Moto 360. As part of Google’s Android Wear, the wearable device was bound to show up at the Play Store, and it has now.



The Sony Smartwatch 3 was initially launched at IFA 2014, although ship date was always going to be at a later time. As promised, it will come in black or lime colors. The processor is a 1.2GHz quad-core ARM A7 unit operating at 1.2GHz backstopped by 512MB of RAM. The screen is a 1.6-inch 320 x 320 LCD with capacitive touch.

Of course, other features include an ambient light sensor, accelerometer, vibrator, compass, gyro, GPS, with NFC and Bluetooth connectivity. The Sony Smartwatch 3 is compatible with Android devices running version 4.3 or better. Internal storage is at 4GB, and the battery is rated at 420mAh, which Sony says is good two days of use.

It is still marked as “coming soon” at the Play Store, but the pricing is already revealed at USD$249.99. As to how successful this will be in competing with a wearables market that is growing increasingly saturated is still anybody’s guess. What do you guys think?

Space Kitty Puzzle is an addictive game not really about cats

Puzzle games are dime-a-dozen, quite literally. So if you find a puzzle app that catches your attention and keeps you occupied, get it. Space Kitty Puzzle is one such app for us, and it is something that we recommend that you at least try. If it keeps you occupied, then we’ve done our job.



Users will take the role of Captain Kitty, out to save scared aliens from a malfunctioning space station. If you don’t save them, they will remain trapped. The game requires you to solve puzzles for each stage, saving aliens, getting to the exit to end each stage. Pretty simple, right?

There will be traps and other challenges within the game that will make it more difficult for you each stage to save the aliens. There will be 100 levels within the game, enough to satisfy puzzle lovers out there.


Space Kitty Puzzle is available as a free download via the Google Play Store, with in-app purchases. It’s a pretty good time waster, if you’re looking for one. Experience full HD graphics, music, and the whole package with this download. Check out the source link.

FloatNote allows you to place reminders for people you call

There’s always that time when someone calls and you know you have to tell that person something important, but as we tend to do, we forget. FloatNote is an app that was created with that situation in mind, and admittedly, we need all the help we can get – evidence being the multitude of apps out there designed to remind us of things.



FloatNote is easy enough to figure out. You input a reminder for yourself about the person. The next time you make a call to that specific person, or when that person calls you, the note activates. As the name implies, the note you created “floats” as the call is ongoing, and deactivates when the call ends.


The video below shows how the simple app works. We’re not kidding, it is very simple. And what’s more, it’s aligned to the much-hyped Material Design of the upcoming Android 5.0 Lollipop. That’s a bit of foresight from the developers.




Check out the FloatNote app via the Google Play Store. The app is very logical. But the question we want to ask is that, are you able to work it into your daily use? Or is there an app that does this for you? Tell us about it in the comments section.

Google updates Material Design resources for Android 5 release

Google initially released its Material Design guidelines in July and designed it as a feedback mechanism from developers to refine the initial aesthetic and look of Android 5.0 when it was unveiled in February. Today, it has updated these resources and guidelines as the release date nears.



So today, together with the Android 5.0 SDK that was just made available by Android Dev for download, Google has published updated guidelines and resources, taking in the feedback of the Android community and tweaking the look of Material Design to what it is now.

The resources include sticker sheets in PSD, AI and Sketch formats, an updated icon library, new color swatches, among others to help developers have an idea of what look Google is shooting for in Android Lollipop. Specifically, the new system icons sticker sheet contains the new look of the icons that can be used across different apps for different purposes such as media playback, communication, connectivity, and so on.


If you are an app developer, best to take a look at these new guidelines to get ready for the upcoming release Android Lollipop, which Google will choose to push across all possible channels. The new devices that will first carry Android 5.0 will come out in November, so there are just a few weeks before that totally happens.

Android 5.0 Lollipop SDK now out for devs to test apps

Google I/O seems so far away now, way back in February this year when the mothership presented its spanking new Android OS version – dubbed Android L at that point – but has now been revealed as Android 5.0 Lollipop. Now that the Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 are nearing their ship dates, Android Developers is making available the Android 5.0 SDK so that developers can now start testing their apps for compatibility.



The new version boasts of the much-hyped Material Design, new features and enhancements for notifications, better app and power usage with Project Volta and Battery Historian, a full implementation of Android Runtime (ART), and 64-bit support.


The announcement also reveals that functioning developer images for the Nexus 7 (2013) and the Nexus 5 are now available for download. The first devices to run Android Lollipop will be out by November, and in the same timeframe, Android Dev announces that Android Lollipop will be made available for the Nexus 4, 5, 7 (both 2012 and 2013 versions), and 10 – including the Google Play Edition devices.




There’s a list of highlights made by Android Dev here, so you can check it out. But ultimately, we’re just two weeks from liftoff for Android 5.0. If that doesn’t excite you, we don’t know what will.
