Talk about impeccable timing: the same day Hulu announces it'll let users watch TV shows for free on their phones, Yahoo brings its video app to Android. That application, called Screen, is already available for iOS, and unlike Hulu, it's focused...
Those who don't subscribe to Hulu will be able to watch it on more devices starting this summer. At an event in New York this morning, Hulu CEO Mike Hopkins announced that the streaming service will begin letting viewers watch a selection of TV shows on mobile devices, rather than only allowing free viewing on the desktop. Hulu began to open up on mobile last year, but even today it still limits viewers to watching select clips, and not full episodes. Free episodes will arrive on Android first, and then come to iOS. A redesigned iPhone app will be also be launching later this summer.
Hopkins also reiterated that Hulu is still in talks with pay-TV providers to begin integrating Hulu with their cable boxes. It's an integration that would...

The all-new Spotify experience that launched on iPhone and desktop earlier this month is now arriving on Android. The app now looks essentially identical across both mobile platforms, sharing the same dark theme, new typeface, and subtle translucency effects. Spotify's "Your Music" — which lets users save their own music collection in a library structure not unlike iTunes — is a key part of the new update. That feature allows Android users to finally move away from the playlist-based system that, combined with the star button (also removed in this update), was previously the best way to "save" albums and tracks on the streaming service.
Earlier this month, Spotify let it be know that it would be implementing a redesign across its desktop and mobile properties, which it described as being the most dramatic change since 2008. As part of this, those of you with an Android device can...

Most Android devices don't have a physical home button like the iPhone or iPad, and while it reduces manufacturing costs and is one less thing to break, sometimes it's nice to have that tactile feedback. So not only does the Dimple give you a real home button, it also gives you three others that can be customized to do whatever you need.
To date, FreedomPop's no-cost phone service has been attached to older Android phones. That's fine for many, but not exactly diverse. Your choices are a little better now that carrier has added iPhone support to its lineup, though. You can get 200...

Microsoft previously offered the feature as part of its Skype Premium service, a $8.99 monthly subscription that includes some free calls as part of a larger package. An individual day pass to access Skype Premium and group video calling cost $4.99 alone. Skype group video calling allows users to participate in video chats with up to 10 people using PCs or Macs. Microsoft’s...
Forget Gmail, Maps, Drive, Chrome, Android, Plus or any other Google product you use every day. Really, it's just working on taking total control of the way you use the internet. Sadly, that may or may not be a joke. [XKCD]
