Android App Review: Send It
Rob J emailed me to let me know about his new Android app, Send It ($2.89). Send It is your typical file-sharing app, which integrates with Dropbox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, and Box.

Siri Alternatives on Android OS
The Siri feature on iPhone is simply cool. One of the reasons iPhone remains the go-to-device is because of innovations such as Siri. However, as this post points out, there are some alternatives available on Android that come close. I'm testing the Speaktoit Assistant app right now. Personally, I don't really care to speak to… Continue Reading
