, Dec 3rd 2012 Discuss [0]

Though the app GoMusic is certainly not the first to bring Google Music‘s cloud of tunes to the iOS platform, we’re certain that it’s currently the best solution on the market. This lovely little app takes what you’ve got on Android as well as the mobile web and slaps it on over to iOS where neither Apple nor Google have dared yet to venture. It’s not that they can’t, it’s just that, well, Google Music is made to be an Android music service – but what do you know? It works here on the iPhone as well!

Nexus 4 shipping time pushed back to 2013

, Nov 28th 2012 Discuss [0]

Yesterday, the LG Nexus 4 returned to the Google Play Store after selling out in just 24 minutes on launch day, and we weren't surprised in the least to see a flood of prospective Nexus 4 owners quickly overwhelm the Play Store with orders.

Those of you looking for the unlocked model will be able to pick it up from either source, but the T-Mobile unlocked version (exactly the same as the Google Play store version) will cost you $150 USD more - so good luck with Google Play!
