Samsung releases kernel source for a trio of Galaxy S 4s

DNP Samsung releases a trio of Galaxy S 4 kernel source


As Samsung prepares to release its new flagship to the masses, the company is already making moves to accommodate its open source following. Today, the Korean electronics maker served up the kernel source for three versions of the Galaxy S 4. On tap are two unlocked variants of Samsung's next big thing (GT-I9500 and GT-I9505) along with Virgin Mobile Canada's rendition of the handset. Seeing how you've already seen the device stripped down to its unmentionables, why not go the extra mile and take a whack at its software? That is if you know what you're doing.

Microsoft releases Surface RT and Pro updates, aims to fix WiFi issues again

Microsoft releases Surface RT and Pro updates, aims to fix WiFi issues again


Surface RT devices have already scored two updates that aim to fix problems with 'limited' WiFi connectivity, and now Microsoft is pushing out a third patch that aims to put its wireless troubles to rest. Redmond's fresh code also beefs up support for a "wide range" of access points and stomps out system crashes caused by some WiFi issues. As for Surface Pro, its own April update smoothes out Surface Type and Touch cover connectivity kinks, adds support for Japanese keyboards on North American hardware, stomps a bug that disables the WiFi driver when airplane mode is toggled and addresses an issue with touch navigation in the UEFI boot menu. Microsoft's remedy should get sucked down to your slate automatically, but you can grab it by hand through Windows Update as well.

Belkin releases WeMo beta app for Galaxy S III, devices with ICS or higher

Belkin releases WeMo beta app for Galaxy S III, devices with ICS or higher


Word of an Android app for Belkin's line of WeMo home automation hardware came amid a flurry of CES news, and now the application has rolled onto Google Play in beta form just over a month later. The app is specifically tested for the Galaxy S III, but handsets toting Ice Cream Sandwich or higher will be able to take it for a spin. By wielding the application, users can control WeMo devices over WiFi and cellular networks, configure custom icons, tweak names, take care of local firmware updates and hook things up with IFTTT. Remote firmware updates, support content and WeMo rules have yet to be baked into the software, however. Belkin is hoping guinea pigs will report bugs, but can't guarantee they'll be fixed in the short term. Currently, the outfit says issues regarding poor signal strength and app crashes are on its radar. Looking forward to the polished, growing pain-free product? The final app is expected to arrive around the summertime.


[Thanks, Matt]

Archos releases free version of Android Video Player, placates penny-pinching cinephiles

Archos Video Player Android app now has a free version, pennypinching movie lovers rejoice


While there's no dearth of video playing apps available on Android, French outfit Archos' $5 offering stands out as an especially feature-rich option. For those that shied away from the Archos Video Player just because of the outlay involved however, there's now a free version up for grabs. Supported by ads, it provides all the functionality of its premium cousin, including hardware-accelerated encoding, ability to play network content and online retrieval of movie information like posters and subtitles. Entertainment aficionados can snag the goods at the source link for the unarguable cost of zero, and likely spend the saved scratch on some high-definition bird-slinging action instead.

By popular demand, Sony releases Jelly Bean alpha build for Xperia T

By popular demand, Sony releases Jelly Bean alpha build for Xperia T


Because the first time proved to be such a charm for Android developers, Sony's once again offering Xperia owners an official alpha ROM. And this time, it's of the Jelly Bean variety. But before you rush to the source and flash your cares away, there are a few caveats we need to cover. For starters, the price of entry to this Android 4.1 test run is an unlocked Xperia T. Not the TX, not the V, not the S, so don't even try it. You'll also have to sign away your legal right (via the company's unlock utility) to whine and demand compensation should your handset brick in the process. Once those hurdles have been cleared, you're almost home free to flash -- so long as you don't mind an unfinished UI, non-functioning radios for voice, WiFi, Bluetooth and NFC, in addition to a complete lack of Gapps. Oh, and did we mention your unlocked T won't be privy to the official Jelly Bean update once it hits? Yeah, there's that too. Basically, you shouldn't look to this for a daily driver. In fact, it's probably best to leave this one to the big boys.

Razer releases $130 Orbweaver for single-pawed, mechanical PC gaming (video)

Razer


Belkin made gamer's hearts flutter with the original N52te speedpad, which Razer took over a couple of years ago and developed into the Nostromo. Now, that peripheral-maker has taken the concept to a new level (and price) with the $130 gadget-tastic Orbweaver gaming keypad. Each of the 20 mechanical keys is programmable with unlimited-length macros, and produces a tactile click when actuated with 2mm travel / 50g of force -- all in the service of max speed to give gamers the drop on foes, according to Razer. Also provided is an eight-way directional thumbpad along with adjustable hand, thumb and palm-rest modules, plus Razer Synapse 2.0 software for re-binding buttons and assigning macros. It's available now for Windows or OS X, so if you're looking for a way to get that tricky drop, roll and fire combo into a single, satisfying click, check the source.


[Thanks, Arjun]

Dawn Patrol Games Releases Robotanika for iOS with Unreal Engine

Dawn Patrol Games has launched its debut title, Robotanika for iPad. Built using the Unreal Engine, the sci-fi themed shooter game is relentlessly challenging. Here's more info on this new iOS game:

A visually striking experience starring a unique lineup of alien aggressors, Robotanika both demands and rewards skillful play. Inspired by the challenge and intensity of classic arcade action, this game is a fast-paced, two-handed, turret shooter that will take more than an itchy trigger finger and a tactical mind to survive.

Ravaging robots have returned once again to pillage the planet, leaving the player all that stands between their species' survival and extinction. The action starts hard and doesn't let up, so precision timing, accuracy and the mastery of five powerful offensive and defensive abilities will be needed in order to survive all 100 punishing waves. Users must choose their weapons, take their stand and prepare to send those pesky robots back to the recycling bin once and for all.

Key Features:

- 100 challenging waves of explosive action
- 18 vicious Robit units, each with unique and complex AI-driven behaviors
- Extensive upgrade options and multiple paths to mastery based on player style
- Visually innovative world that evolves over the course of the game
- Dynamic soundtrack that shifts with the flow of battle

The Robotanika App is available for $2.99 from the App Store on iPad: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/robotanika/id540625246?mt=8

Ceton releases Windows 8 drivers, Echo settop box is getting Android inside for the holidays

Ceton will have something unexpected under the tree for early adopters of its $179 Echo Windows Media Center Extender -- Android. Updates are on the way that will bring not only finalized Extender software, but also beta support for the Android platform and apps. Detailed in a message sent to testers this evening, there's also an update rolling out in the next 24 hours that upgrades video output to 1080p and exposes settings for the Echo like optical audio out, bitstreaming over HDMI or optical and diagnostics. Even if you're not in that beta test but just like running the latest software, Ceton has also pushed out beta InfiniTV drivers for Windows 8 users (note: tuner bridging is not supported if the card is installed in a Windows 8 PC.) There's even a beta version of the Ceton Companion services that connect Media Center PCs to its mobile Companion apps -- which coincidentally are on sale for $2.99 at the moment -- for Windows 8 users to try out as well. Hit the source links for all of the details and expect more info on how the Echo puts Android on your HDTV soon.

Update: The Echo is also now available and shipping from Amazon, as well as the previously announced NewEgg.
