Home replacement apps are a dime a dozen these days. Most tend to replicate and then attempt to slightly improve on their predecessors, causing many custom launchers to behave quite similar to each other minus a transition effect or two. TSF Shell Pro 3D is not your typical home replacement application however. This launcher brings some incredibly unique features to the table, many of them are sure to make the Android fanboy inside you go ballistic. Even better news, TSF has announced that they will finally be gracing a device near you starting February 29th.

While the ICS easter egg in the Calendar widget was a little funny and a little clever, you can feel free to file at least one of the following Chrome easter eggs in the "holy crap that is a lot of work for kind of not much of a reward" pile. That's right, there are two surprises to be found in Google's beta Chrome browser. Feel free to argue their usefulness in the comments section.

After seemingly endless development, British media giant Sky has finally added the first version of Sky Go to their selection of Android applications. Allowing you to watch 22 of Sky’s live channels, the application currently only works on a handful of Samsung and HTC devices, none of which can run Ice Cream Sandwich or, more importantly, be rooted.

RootzReviews: 7 Little Words

Visualize for the moment. You currently have three Words with Friends (or Wordfeud) games on your queue. One of them is against a friend you’ve played against numerous times that just texted you he’s going away for the weekend and won’t have access to cell service or Wi-Fi (God forbid!) for a few days. Another is against as inconsistent a player as the weather is right now in the Midwest: they go 32 hours without playing a word one week, yet one night play 6 words between the hours of 4 a.m. and 6 a.m.

Since the release, we've seen some minor patches, which eventually culminated in a much larger update of Honeycomb for Google TV. But the GTV surge is far from over.

Popular remote coding service Codeanywhere is great for the programmer on the run, or for working from a number of browsers. However, the native Android app has never been great for tablets, where one would expect to do most of your Android coding. A new release has now been published, which brings the power of Codeanywhere to Honeycomb.
