If you are looking for a great deal on a Android Wear smartwatch, Google has you covered. Right now at the Google Store you can pick up the 1st generation Moto 360 for only $99 and that includes free shipping. While Motorola has come out with the 2nd generation of the Moto 360, that doesn’t mean that the 1st generation is a bad deal. In fact, for $99 it is a screaming deal!
If there is one thing that I genuinely miss about the iOS ecosystem it is family sharing. Back in the day when I was running around with an iPhone and iPad, the ability to share apps and music purchases with my family and regulate what apps my kids were buying was a huge help. It is one of the things I wish Google had with the Google Play Store and indications are my wish is about to get answered.
Several sites have done a tear down of the latest APK for Google Play Store for Android and indications are that Family Sharing is coming to Android.
Since its debut in late September, the Nexus 6P has been a bit of a needle in a haystack to get. Google has been sold out of their flagship phone virtually since day one and the ability to order the new phone has been met with red banners of “This selection is currently out of stock” from the Google Store. Now, it seems, things are slowly improving.
On the Google Store, there are a few models of the Nexus 6P that are in stock in various colors and storage levels. While I suspect these won’t last long, it is good to see that a few models are trickling in for those who didn’t pre-order or were waiting for review of it and/or Android Marshmallow. The key here folks is if you want one, you probably need to jump on it sooner rather than later or you may be out of luck for a while.
It looks like big changes are coming to the Google Play Store if the posts from Googler Kirill Grouchnikov are any indication. Posts of a highly animated, Material design friendly and cleaner looking Google Play Store were posted on Mr. Grouchnikov’s Google+ account today as part of a sign off he made regarding the store and his departure to another team within Google. In fact in his post, he makes it quite clear that the changes to the Google Play Store have been a team effort and what is coming up is very much in that same vein.
The Google Play Store has just launched a .10 Cent sale on a dozen games for Android phones and tablets. The games feature multiple titles for Chillingo but also have a few from Electronic Arts.

There is no word on how long the sale will be lasting so if you want pick up any of the games listed after the break, better jump on it now.
