If you happen to love everything about Flipboard and also have a penchant to read The New York Times whenever possible, then only iOS users would have had the pleasant experience of enjoying The New York Times over on Flipboard on their Apple devices. It is without much further ado, and with great pleasure that I announce the The New York Times will finally be made available in Flipboard for Android users as well as those who are rocking to an Amazon Kindle Fire.

In a nutshell, the Android-powered device that you are using, along wit the Amazon Kindle Fire, will be able to gain access the full New York Times digital edition, which will comprise of 25 sections of news as well as opinion pieces which cover a wide range of business, politics, style, the arts and other topics. Of course, before you can access the other NYT sections, you will first need to be a subscriber. Flipboard is available for free at the Google Play Store or Amazon Appstore.

Yes, we are on the cusp of February and will enter March pretty soon (although some countries are already well into March 1st), which means we are one step closer to the June 14th release of The Last of Us. Developers of The Last of Us, Naughty Dog, have recently rolled out a new bunch of videos which will provide a straightforward look at their in-house development process. The first of these videos can be viewed above, although you will need to be of a certain age, of course.

Basically, the Last of Us will play on a very common theme these days, which deals with apocalyptic epidemics on the earth. The Last of Us has been described as a “genre-defining experience blending survival and action elements” that are used to share a character driven story concerning a population decimated by a modern plague (zombies, anyone?) Two decades after the plague kicked in fully, nature has started to reclaim the infected cities, while infected humans continue to run wild with survivors killing each other for daily supplies such as food and weapons among others. The Last of Us will launch this coming June 14 and will be a Ps3 exclusive.

Alright, so this is definitely not the first we’ve written about about these two latest entry-level shooters from Sony. That said, we’re excited to finally get some hands-on time with the Alpha NEX-3N ILC and A58 SLT DSLR. To refresh your memory, the NEX-3N is set to sell for $500 with a 16-50mm power zoom, while the A58 will go for $600 with Sony’s latest 18-55m f3.5-5.6 kit lens. Although we only had a few minutes with each inside a section of New York’s Natural History museum, we’re definitely digging the new wares. Join us past the break for some initial impressions.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Verizon Wireless might sport 4G LTE connectivity, but it has sadly been passed over in terms of software updates compared to the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus, which in fact, remains four versions behind the most recent software update. The indignity of it all! At least we have hope that things will change for the better soon, as according to a Verizon support team member who used Twitter as the channel of communications, replied to a query, saying, “Samsung will push the update directly to your device over the air. Sorry, no release date. But, it will be soon.”

“Soon” is a very relative word, and bear in mind that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus currently runs on the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update, which remains clearly behind the Android 4.1.2, Android 4.2.1, and of course, the most recent Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Ah well, at least there is an update coming, and we are willing to settle for scraps if that is what it takes.
