Samsung gets first dibs of Nokia’s Here on Android


Nokia’s map application Here was initially promised to arrive on Android but it never arrived. Samsung has partnered with Nokia to bring a beta version of the app for Android exclusively for them. The app will be made available for Samsung devices when they unveil the Gear S smartwatch. It will offer turn-by-turn pedestrian navigation to the new wearable and will be able to sync routes with compatible handsets using Here.

Queue YouTube videos on the Web for Chromecast

YouTube recently updated its service to introduce a new queuing feature for sharing clips to your Chromecast. The feature is set to be available in the coming week and it will let you use a single tab on your browser to cast videos and then continue browsing to line up more clips. You can also cast playlists if you want. YouTube has also unified the Add to Playlist and Share buttons on the desktop to match what it looks like on mobile and to make it simpler to create playlists and share clips.

Yahoo adds email filter capabilities to Mail for Android

Strangely enough, Yahoo is ahead of Google with the new feature they introduced to their Mail app for Android. Yahoo Mail now lets you create, update, and remove filters right from the mobile app. You couldn’t do that at the moment with the Gmail app. All you need to do is tap the option at the bottom of the sidebar to set up your filters. You can filter your emails by content, sender, or recipient.

Microsoft officially pulling down the shutters on MSN Messenger

We know you probably haven’t been using Microsoft’s MSN/Windows Live Messenger in ages but if you’re in China and are still using the service, Microsoft is finally killing off the service by October 31. The shift from MSN started in the US about a year ago and they’re now officially putting a stop to the 15-year run of the messaging service.
