Small remote-controlled quadcopter AERIUS Mini Drone can rest on your fingertip

 

Want a tiny remote-controlled quadcopter that can do tricks? The AERIUS Mini Drone is for you. At just 3cm x 3cm x 2cm, this small quadcopter can land right on your fingertip and even fit into its own controller. It can fly up to seven minutes off of a single 15-minute charge. It comes with preprogrammed flips and rolls that you activate with the press of a button. Flying at night is possible, too, with its built-in LED lights. It’s 18 percent off on Laughing Squid’s store and costs US$53 at the moment.

Apple outs second app for Android, the Beats Pill+ app

We might be seeing a trend here. Or at least Apple is slowly opening up to Google’s mobile operating system. This time around, Apple introduced its second app on Android for the new Beats Pill+ speaker. The app is pretty straightforward as it lets you control what’s on your playlist, check on the battery life, link two devices for that stereo sound effect, and name your speaker. It does make sense they offer this on Android as the speaker isn’t really iOS exclusive.

Dolphin browser on Android gets Marshmallow treatment

Alternative Android browser Dolphin has finally released its latest update on Google Play Store, bringing with it support for Android Marshmallow. The update first came to Nexus 9, Nexus 7, and Nexus 5 users earlier this month to test out the issues of the app. Some of the issues that surface include crash issues from launching the app, accessing resource and data-intensive sites, and even inputting text in the address bar. AdBlock feature wasn’t available from the Control Panel even if Add-on was enabled. There were even issues with not being able to tab push after login and going through Dolphin Connect login failure issues. Thankfully, all of these seem to have been addressed. You can download the app from the link below.

Release of ‘Mirror’s Edge Catalyst’ gets pushed back to May 2016

The sequel to 2008’s free-running game Mirror’s Edge isn’t coming out in February as we’d hope. According to Mirror’s Edge Catalyst’s game developer DICE, the game will be released on May 24, 2016 instead. DICE is taking the extra time to polish the game. Senior Producer Sara Jannson wrote they want to make it as “entertaining, impressive, and memorable as it can be.”
