- PSA: Some Meebo services shutting down starting next week
News barely just hit the airwaves about Google snapping up social platform Meebo, and already it’s being dismantled. As from Monday (June 11th,) Meebo Messenger, Sharing on Meebo, MeeboMe and all the mobile apps will be shutting down. In the meantime you’ll still be able to download chat logs, sharing history and so on, but you’ll need to hop on quick, before the final curtain. Meebo does confirm, however, that its Bar product will continue to be available, and receive support, for the at least the coming months.

Meebo | Email this | Comments - ComScore: Nearly a quarter of US smartphone owners have tablets, love their video
If you’ve got a smartphone, it’s increasingly likely that you’re also carrying a tablet as a sidearm. ComScore understands that 23.6 percent of American smartphone owners also have an iPad, Kindle Fire or some other large touchscreen slab as of April. That’s only 16.5 percent of all cellphone owners in the land, but that’s a huge jump from 9.7 percent of smartphone owners (4.7 percent of cellphone owners) just one year earlier. And if you do own a slate, odds are that you’re watching your fair share of movies and cat videos. More than half of tablet users, 53 percent, fire up the likes of Netflix or YouTube at least once a month, with almost a tenth (9.5 percent) tuning in daily. Tablet lovers are unsurprisingly three times more likely to watch than their smartphone counterparts, suggesting that it’s just a short hop from buying a tablet to catching up on Daily Show episodes.

YouTube is finally rolling out Shorts - its answer to TikTok
YouTube has started rolling out its new feature Shorts - it is a platform for short videos, shot in portrait orientation, and is an obvious attempt to curb TikTok and its growing influence online. Those in the United States have started receiving the feature, and the global rollout is expected soon. Currently, Shorts is still in Beta, so not all American users will get it after an update of their application. The company is likely doing some A/B testing, but given the fact YouTube has been working on Shorts for the past 12 months, the feature’s stable version should be right around...

It’s about time we get a release date for the OnePlus 9 series and the company’s official site has teased a big announcement for March 8.

Samsung Galaxy M12 is coming to India on March 11 with a surprise upgrade to a 90Hz screen
A little over a month after it was first unveiled the Samsung Galaxy M12 will go on sale in India. It already has a landing page on the local Amazon and Samsung pages.
