A new look at the Droid X2

By Molly McHugh Published April 7, 2011

Android Central has gotten its hands on some new images of the upcoming Motorola Droid X2. The photo quality isn’t anything to get excited about, and they don’t reveal anything new since the supposedly leaked pictures we got a look at in February. The device will allegedly launch during the second quarter, and that’s about all we know. There are varying reports about its specs but just for the sake of Droid love, here are the latest:

Android 2.2.2 (Froyo)
HDMI output, Micro USB port
8 megapixel rear-facing camera with dual LED flash

Otherwise, the device is nearly identical to the original Droid X. Its specs (from what we’ve heard thus far) are pretty similar as well, which might get you wondering what exactly is new and different about the Droid X2. There’s no hint as to whether it will run on Verizon’s 4G LTE network, but it seems fairly safe to assume it will. For anything else, we’ll keep our ear to ground on new details and of course, keep waiting for the phone’s official announcement in the Motorola lineup. Until then, enjoy.

The best note-taking apps for iOS and Android

I tested these apps for months so your notes never have to switch homes again.

Choosing a note-taking app is not easy. What note-taking app you choose depends on your needs, the platform you use, and of course, the cost. The process becomes even more complicated as it seems that there’s a new shiny app released every other week.

That’s why I always suggest choosing a note-taking app that has all the features you need and can last you for a long time. Also, don’t chase new apps. The real power of a note-taking app comes when all your notes live in one place, making it easy to spot connections between them.

Snapchat Planets Meaning: Order, Rankings, and How Friend Solar System Works

Snapchat Planets turns your best friends list into a solar system, and yes, your orbit says a lot

Snapchat Planets being shown on the Snapchat app on iPhone.

Snapchat+ includes several exclusive features, but few have generated as much curiosity as Snapchat Planets. Part of the app's Friend Solar System, it transforms your Best Friends list into a planetary ranking, assigning each of your top eight friends a planet based on how often you interact.

From Mercury, which represents your closest friend, to Neptune, which represents your eighth closest, the system offers a quick visual snapshot of your interactions. But what do the different planets actually mean, and how does Snapchat decide who gets which one?
