Xbox Music (for Android)

• Pros
  Good sound quality. Lots of tracks. Clean interface. Easy Collection and Playlist construction.
• Cons No free version. You can't browse by genre or create stations. Lacks lyrics.
• 
  
• Bottom Line
  Xbox Music brings over 30 million songs to your Android device, but a few missing features keep it from competing with the mobile streaming music service top dogs.

By Jeffrey L. Wilson

The already plump mobile streaming music space has just gotten a wee bit fatter with Xbox Music's Android and iOS debuts. Xbox Music lets Xbox Music Pass subscribers stream their favorite music (ad-free!) to smartphones and tablets, and also Xbox home video game consoles starting at $9.99 per month (you can, however, listen to Xbox Music for free on the desktop via a Web browser).

SmartWatch 2 hack day @ #SonyIFA

It marks a new campaign we’ve launched this IFA week… “Stand out from the crowd“, a developer initiative to discover creativity & bring something extra to the Sony experience. We’ll offer various benefits and promo ops to selected participants: marketing support, the chance to join us at a trade show or two, and the option to grab Sony devices to develop and test on.

Back to the hack, we were joined by developers from across the spectrum; established Google play-ers, and others looking to channel fresh creativity. We tasked the group with porting and/or creating apps & extensions for SmartWatch 2′s already 300-strong portfolio – before (as Kaz announced Weds) it hits stores later this month.

Google's Trojan horse: how Chrome Apps will finally take on Windows

The web alone is not enough
Today, on Chrome's fifth birthday, Google is announcing the rollout of what it's calling Chrome Apps. Don't feel bad if you're confused by the name. Chrome has been serving up web apps since 2010 when the Chrome Web Store opened up alongside the launch of the Chrome OS. Chrome Apps, however, are different than what's been offered before. They comprise Google's bid to elevate the browser into a true app platform — one that it thinks could one day be a legitimate rival to Windows, OS X, and someday iOS and even Android.
