Google recently introduced the option to select the resolution of the video you are watching in the Android version of the YouTube app. Depending upon the device you are using, the maximum resolution option would differ, although it is known to get confused at times.

So far, the maximum resolution option available in the app was 1080p, even if you have happen to have a smartphone or tablet with higher resolution. But to break the barrier of the 1080p the YouTube App streaming now goes up to 1440p on selected devices. If you happen to have an Android device with higher than 1080p resolution display, you might see the 1440p resolution option in the settings while watching the video.

An update to the Google Play Music App to v5.6.1616, brings some New Music widgets. The old 4x1 Play Music widget now starts at 3 x 1, and is available in every size up to 4x4. Another widget is 1x1, and when tapped, plays the "I'm Feeling Lucky" radio station without even launching the Google Play Music app.

After you update the app, searching for a particular song or artist, will result in public playlists appearing at the bottom of the screen. You can subscribe to these playlists or download them just as if you had created them yourself.

The update also includes improvements to the download management which is now called "Manage downloads" from its previous name, "View download queue." The name might be different, but it works the same way. It also will show you how much room on your device is being taken up by your tunes, and reveals the best ways to clear them from your phone.

Google has just updated its Android Search App to version 3.6 with support for Hands-Free and Applications Deep-linking. Using "OK, Google" Hotword can be done by anyone's else voice, that's why Google added a new pop up warning in this update when you enable "OK Google Everywhere" that lets you know someone else could use the device without unlocking it.

The Google hands-free feature we keep seeing pop up seems to be a little different in 3.6. The prompt you get when trying to call it up is still busted, but it has a different look. The new Search contains a ton of new hands-free resources, so maybe we're getting close to something. The icons above are certainly a good sign.

You can download the official APK from the link below, if you don't want to wait until the update hit your device via the play store. The link below for the Offiical Google-signed APK, not been modified by anyway and it's safe to install.

Rovio recently revealed that its next game, namely Angry Birds Stella, would be available to download starting September,4th. The company also released two trailers for Angry Birds Stella, which come with the promise of a fun, action-filled game. As Rovio puts it, this will be "a tale of fun, friendship and fearlessness."

Angry Birds Stella will introduce new characters called Gale, Dahlia, Poppy, Willow and Luca. And, of course, Stella will be the main character you probably already know her from Rovio's older games. And let's not forget that piggies will be in the game, too.

It looks like Angry Birds Stella will resemble some of the original Angry Birds titles, at least to some extent. But we'll see what the game is all about in September.
