Google I/O 2015 app Updated in Beta with Full Material Design
Every year at about a month before one of Google’s biggest events, I/O, happens we see a update and redesign of the app used to follow all the news. Last year we were treated to the (yet-to-be-named) half-material app, and this year the app has finally been fully updated to embrace material to the fullest. What other changes await us inside?
The new update is an actual Beta update, bringing the app to version 3.1.2. The way some users got the beta invite was by signing up last year to receive future updates to the app. Besides seeing more material elements all over the place, we’re not seeing the “People I’ve Met” section that was housed about the “Social” category in the slide-out menu, likely due to little-to-no use.
Another change is located in the “Map” section where tapping on a marker produces a schedule of all the session held at that particular location for the day. The last user-facing changes that we were able to locate are simple reorganizing of various sections in the app, such as: Explore, Videos, Social and more.
Be sure to grab this update when you can to get the latest info as far as Google I/O goes. How do you like the slight but new changes?

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.
