PlayOn now available on Roku: more content for a price

We knew that Hulu Plus was making a beeline for Roku's stable of media streaming boxes, but now owners have yet another avenue to grab online content: PlayOn. For those unaware, PlayOn delivers online material from Hulu, PBS, TBS, ESPN, CNN, MLB.tv and YouTube (among other places), but the catch is that there's an annual fee for having access ($34.99 for the first year; $19.99 each year thereafter). Furthermore, you'll need a PC on the same network as the Roku in order to fetch the content and send it over, but if you're already setup, you can hit the source link for download and pricing details.

Google Instant showing up on some Android devices in beta form?

If you believe the good readers of Droid Life (and there's no reason why you shouldn't), Google has started sneaking out its Instant search option to Android phones in the USA. So far, reports include the original Motorola Droid, the Droid X, and HTC's Droid Incredible. Lest you've been enjoying a lengthy holiday in the tropics, Google Instant throws up search results as you type your query, delivering either much faster results or a much more annoying search experience, depending on how you look at it. Reported operation so far aligns with our early hands-on, with Instant taking a bit of time to get its bearings, but the software is still at the beta stage, after all. Why not jump into your browser this morning and tell us if your Android's answering your questions before you even hit the Enter key?

Google Finally Updates FeedBurner To Focus On Real Time Stats And Twitter

Three and a half years ago, Google made what seemed to be a pretty big $100 million acquisition: FeedBurner. You remember that company, right? They're the ones that dominated RSS management before all of that real time tech came along and rendered it obsolete for many people. Today, Google is putting the real time paddles to FeedBurner's heart in an attempt to rivive it. If you visit FeedBurner today, you'll see a "Try out our NEW (beta) version!" message in the top menu. Clicking on this will take you to the new version. So what's new? The entire look and feel has been revamped. The new Home screen is loaded up with overview stats and alerts for the sites you run. But the real key, of course, is in the Feeds area.

Digg To Layoff 37% Of Staff, Product Refocus Imminent

It was just a few months ago that Digg dropped 10% of its staff. Now the company is making much deeper cuts - 25 employees will be laid off, a little more than 37% of Digg's total staff. This comes on top of news that Digg lost their chief revenue officer, Chas Edwards, earlier today. I spoke with founder Kevin Rose and new CEO Matt Williams about the cuts earlier this morning. The company will be refocusing the Digg product, Williams says, and more announcements will be made tomorrow.

Might The Mac App Store Lead To A New Class Of Micro-Apps?

This weekend, Ryan Block put up an interesting post on gdgt entitled:�Will the Mac App Store have enough to sell? He raises a number of good points for why Apple may not be able to replicate their current App Store success with this new desktop store. But I'm left wondering if the store won't lead to a new class of app: a sort of micro-app for the desktop. Block makes the following points: a) high-end software like Photoshop won't be placed in this store because Adobe won't want to give Apple a 30 percent cut of all sales. b) most paid desktop software is dead or dying due to free replacements on the web. c) Apple's strict rules will prevent developers from using this new store for test or demo software. I agree with all of those points. And that's why I'm wondering if this store won't instead lead to this new type of app environment.

Twitter Employees Get Google?s 20% Time? For The Entire Next Week

Well this is sort of interesting. Apparently, Twitter has just kicked off something they're calling their "Hack Week". But instead of it being a time when various third-party developers get together to hack on things off of Twitter's APIs, Twitter employees themselves are going to see what crazy cool things they can come up with. A post on their engineering blog outlines this. "We?ll all be building things that are separate from our normal work and not part of our day-to-day jobs," the post notes. This sounds a lot like Google's "20 percent time" ? Google employees are encouraged to spend up to 20 percent of their time working on interesting side projects not directly related to their actual work.

OTECH F1 handset holds four SIM cards, enables you to live a quadruple life

So look, you feel pretty special toting around that dual-SIM phone, right? Being able to switch numbers and carriers as you hop back and forth between Germany and Amsterdam is fairly nifty, but you've been considering a daily route around the Benelux. Of course, tri-SIM phones aren't impossible to find either, but should you ever wander into France, Switzerland or any other nation, you'll be forced to pop one of those out and insert another the old fashioned way. Well, unless you can score an OTECH F1. This here handset -- which can only be found in the wilds of Asia right now -- actually has room for four SIM cards, and it's also packing a full QWERTY keyboard, 2.4-inch touchscreen, support for mobile TV, an FM radio tuner, Bluetooth module and what appears to be a 12.1 megapixel camera. Unsurprisingly, a price on this bad boy is eluding us, but if you're an industrious jetsetter, we're confident you won't have any issues running one down. Whether or not you want to, however, is another matter entirely...

SuperOneClick is an easy way to root almost any Android phone

Filed under: Utilities, Android

There's a new one-click wonder in town: SuperOneClick. It's free, full-featured, and roots almost every phone. Get it while it's hot, Android users!

SuperOneClick is a standard rooting kit, but with a simple GUI to mask all complexity from the end-user. Instead of running the risk of bricking your phone with fiddly command-line tools, this app just requires a single click of the button. You can also unroot the phone and enable Non-Market Apps -- again, with one click. If that wasn't enough, there's even a video showing you how to do it after the break!

There are a few phones that are incompatible with SuperOneclick (all of them HTC), but even then, it's just a matter of visiting Unrevoked and following some (fairly) simple guides. There's also one other problem: it's Windows-only, but it looks like the next major version will support Linux. Mac will have to wait a little longer -- but do Mac users actually own Android phones...?
