GetGlue for Android now supports real-time TV conversations

Posted: 26 Oct 2011 05:02 PM PDT

GetGlue is everyone’s favorite check-in service for TV shows, Movies, and sports games so wouldn’t it be nice to carry on real-time conversations as well? GetGlue just added the feature, so whether you are watching sports, a reality show, or any other favorite show, you will become part of the real-time conversation. You will see friends who also checked-in and comments from other fans. GetGlue even filters the noise so only interesting comments show.

Along with real-time conversations, they have redesigned the user experience to be more chat-like. You will find a new home screen that is basically a menu that helps you get to where you want quickly, and the check-in flow is now streamlined as it now takes one less screen to check-in.

If you don’t already have GetGlue you have to give it a try. Download links below.

No Ice Cream Sandwich love for the Nexus One

Posted: 26 Oct 2011 08:06 AM PDT

We received confirmation last week that the Nexus S would receive Ice Cream Sandwich, but what about the Nexus One? Unfortunately we have bad news as Google Director of Android Product Management Hugo Barra told the Telegraph that the Nexus One’s hardware is too old.

The hardware is relatively close between the Nexus One and Nexus S as they both have processors clocked at 1GHz along with 512MB RAM, so what gives? The theory is the problem lies with the lower internal storage space, which could be an issue for a lot of  late 2009 and early 2010 Android phones.

The good news is we’re sure there will be some custom ROMs based on Ice Cream Sandwich, but there’s no question this is a big disappointment.

On the brighter side, Hugo Barra said to expect the ICS update for the Nexus S about a couple of weeks after the Galaxy Nexus starts to ship.
