Seems really lame to put a price on watching a music video on YouTube. It’s basically FREE advertising and now you want to monetize it? I predict epic FAIL.
Rebecca Black’s Friday will now cost you $2.99 on YouTube
Yes, it’s true. The video with over three million dislikes would now appreciate it very much if you would pay $2.99 for the displeasure of having to listen to it in its entirety. Hard to believe? Yeah, for me too. But here’s your screenshot proof:
Sony’y Xperia Play has generated a lousy response so far, but Sony is hoping that’ll change with the announcement of a few Android games that have been ported to the gaming phone, and some additions to the list classics.
WipeOut, Everbody’s Golf 2, and Jet Moto will soon be available on your Xperia Play. In fact, Everybody’s Golf 2 is already in the Android Market.
Originally released in 2000, Everybody’s Golf® 2 is for EVERYBODY – no handicaps or green fees required! Its instant accessibility allows beginners to quickly get used to the control method, while expert players can easily brush up on their existing skills. Combining challenging gameplay with a unique light-hearted approach, this is a game that offers a comprehensive golfing experience without taking itself too seriously.
This actually looks like a port of Hot Shots Golf.
These titles are only available for PlayStation certified phones…which would be the Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play.
We all know that the stock keyboard for Android is the best stock Android keyboard…right?
If it was the best…and delivered all desired options, there would be no other Android keyboards around. However, this is not the case! There are many Android keyboards available that do a whole bunch of different keyboarding things.
For example:
We have the ‘Finger Drag’ style keyboards.
Swype. Which is currently in registered beta testing. This means go here to sign up and they will send you a download link to your phone to install the very cool Swype keyboard. (You cannot currently get Swype in the Android Market)
SlideIT Soft Keyboard (15 day demo…$6.50) This is a very popular ‘Finger Drag’ keyboard that boasts over 1 million installs, currently has a 4+ star rating with over 300 reviews. SlideIT Soft Keyboard in the Android Market
MessagEase is an entirely different style of mobile phone keyboard. I’m not sure if this is good or bad…but 100,000 people have tried it and have rated it 4 stars. Check out the video. MessagEase in the Android Market
SlideType Keyboard is another entry into the Android Slide, Swipe, Drag, style keyboard segment. This keyboard is similar in layout to MessagEase where the keys are laid out in a phone dialer style format. If space on your phone is tight, this one is only 63kb. SlideType in the Android Market
Droidlock is an Android app that allows you to password protect individual apps on your Android devices. This is a useful feature if you allow your kids to play games on your phone or tablet and they accidentally get into your email and delete some important stuff.
This is also another line of defense to protect your data in the event that your device is lost or stolen.
“To protect an application, select the DroidLock application from your Android device’s launcher then press the MENU button and select the “Add application” menu item. A listing of all installed applications will appear.”
“Selecting an application will enable protection and return you to the listing of protected applications. Applications that are already being protected will appear in the list greyed-out and non-selectable.”
