Hasta La Gadget!

Back in April, screenshots of an alleged Gmail redesign were leaked. It seemed to be in line with some of the other redesigns we’ve seen, and also appears to be in line with the design language of Project Hera, a project that Google has been rumored to be working on. However it seems that newly leaked photos of the app seems to suggest otherwise.

The photos come from Yoel Kaseb, the same person who leaked the Google+ redesign which turned out to be true, so perhaps his leak could be pretty credible as well. However like we said, his photos look very different from the ones we saw earlier. We’re not sure why that is – it could be that one of the photos is showing off an older build.

The redesigned Gmail app, however, is in line with the redesigned Google+ app. This means that Google has abandoned the idea of the hamburger menu in favor of a dropdown, and there also appears to be a huge plus sign at the bottom that allows users to compose new messages, which seems to be similar to what we saw before.

In any case perhaps Google is experimenting with different looks, which could explain the discrepancies, but hopefully we will be able to find out more soon as Google I/O will be taking place towards the end of June, so check back with us then for the details.

Anonymous apps are so scary, they might just put us in touch with who we really are.

They say that staring too long at a computer screen or television screen can make your eyesight worse, or at least that’s one of the favorite arguments that parents tend to make. That being said, it is a little ironic that there’s now an app available on the iPhone and Android devices that will supposedly help to improve your eyesight.

The app is called Ultimeyes and we’re sure that some of you guys have heard of it before. The app was originally released for computers before it was recently announced for mobile devices, thus allowing users to improve their eyesight while on the go. The app, developed by Carrot Neurotechnology, is basically an interactive game that will supposedly help improve the player’s eyesight.

The game involves the player trying to track down blobs on the screen which are constantly shifting around. According to a group of ballplayers from the University of California, they claim that this helped improve their eyesight by playing the game for 25-30 minute intervals. Their vision has extended by an average of 31%, with some claiming that their vision has also improved to 20/7.5.

The app is currently available on iTunes and Google Play so if you don’t mind checking it out, hit up the respective app stores for the download which will set you back $5.99. In the meantime you can check out how the game works in the video above.

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition has been an iOS exclusive for a while although this wasn’t by design, but rather because its developers had not gotten around to creating an Android version yet, although it was on their list of things to do.

Well the good news for Android gamers is that the wait is over because if you have had your eye on Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition, it is now officially available for purchase and download via the Google Play Store.

Given that this is a PC game that has been reworked to fit our mobile devices, it is not surprising that the game is priced a lot more than your average mobile game and will set gamers back $9.99. It’s a small price to pay, especially if you used to play the game back in the day and wouldn’t mind reliving the experience on your mobile device.

For those unfamiliar with the Enhanced Edition, it’s basically the first Baldur’s Gate title that has been remade for modern gaming. The graphics have been updated slightly and there have also been additional characters, items, quests, and areas that have been added to the game, just in case you were hoping for additional content beyond what you have played back in the good old days.

This is the first title and we expect that Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition will see a release on Android as well down the road, although at this point in time we’re not sure when that might be.

About a week back we reported about a popular application on the Google Play Store which was actually a scam. Called “Virus Shield,” it cruised to the top of the Play Store lists in under a fortnight. It claimed to protect users’ personal information from “harmful viruses, malware and spyware.” It even claimed to “improve the speed of your phone” and touted ad-blocking capabilities. The app cost $3.99 and did nothing more than changing a red “X” to a red “check” graphic.

When word about this fake application spread Google quickly removed it from the Play Store. It has now issued refunds to all those Android users who were tricked into purchasing Virus Shield. Customers should expect to see the funds returned to their account within the next 14 days.

Seems like Google really wants to make amends for letting this app through. It is even offering $5 worth of promotional credit which can be used to purchase any kind of digital content from the Play Store, including but not limited to movies, music, books and applications.

Developers gaming the system is nothing new. Purchased reviews and downloads can push any application to the top of the lists, thus tricking legitimate Android users into buying an app that is actually useless. Good on Google for trying to make amends.
