Google Docs has just been updated to include major updates that we’ve been expecting for a long time. For starters, there’s full native editing and collaboration in documents. That’s right— we can (finally) edit our documents on our Android devices and have our friends, family or colleagues see our updates, almost instantly. What this means is anyone can see updates in real time whether you’re on your PCs, tablets or phones. The new features don’t stop there either. Google updated the interface so we’re able to do things such as using the pinch to zoom function in order to focus on a specific section of a document or use rich text formatting to enhance our documents so that you know, we can add some pizazz to our documents.

You’ve read the details of the new features, but why not see them in action by checking out the video below? After you’re done, be sure to grab the new update by heading out to the Android Market or by scanning the QR code below if you have an Android 2.1+ device.

[Quick Look] Network Monitor Mini Is A Small, Unobtrusive App That Monitors Bandwidth In Real-Time

There are many reasons why you may need to keep an eye on what's going with your bandwidth at any given moment, especially while on a cell network. Perhaps you need to monitor a download that's going on in the background, or maybe you just need to make sure that no apps are hogging data without permission. Whatever the reason, if you've been searching for an easy to way to address this issue, we've found the solution: Network Monitor Mini.

Network Monitor Mini is one of the simplest, yet most useful apps we've ever used - it displays both upload and download speeds on the screen at all times. it sounds like it could be obtrusive, but it's so minimal, you barely notice it's there (unless you look directly at it, of course).

 

See it there? It's up in the top right corner - just a small, convenient little monitor. Of course, it doesn't have to be in the top right corner - you have the option of placing it in any of the four corners. It also has four color choices, including white, green, blue, and yellow; there is even an option to change the transparency of the background.

Like I said, it's just an extremely handy app to have installed. It's small, easy to use, provides a decent amount of customization, and, best of all, it's free. Hit the widget to grab it for yourself.
