Listen to Apple’s Beats 1 Radio on Android Now!
Yesterday Apple unveiled a new update to their iOS operating system and with that they’ve also released their music overhaul dubbed Apple Music. Apple Music is an update and merger of their iTunes music and the Beats music service that they purchased long ago, which includes a “24 hour, live, radio service,” Beats 1 radio. Even though Apple announced that Apple Music will be coming to Android in the fall, there’s a workaround to listen to Beats 1 radio on your device right now.
Thanks to Twitter user, Benjamin Rumble (@therumbler) who found some insecure code somewhere on the net, he was able to find a url to a live stream of Beats 1 and embed it into a website that also features tweets for the radio service’s in-house DJs and twitters that tweet talking about Beats 1. You can go to the site now and start listen to the Beats 1 stream from any Android device running 4.1 or above.
Here’s two quick protips as well, you can run the radio in the background as you work on other (possibly more productive) tasks and/or you can set the site as an icon on your homescreen by pinning the link using Chrome – I’m not sure what other browsers support pinning links to the homescreen.
Try out the service today if you just want some general music on in the background or want to appease a group of people with different taste, all without having to wait until the fall or having to have an iOS device. Thanks Benji!

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
