Following last week’s Android Drop, Google is now rolling out an app update that brings the “Remembered” tab to Find Hub.

Boox offered some wandering the halls of Messe Berlin at IFA 2026 the opportunity to check out its most exciting upcoming release – a tiny e-reader called the “Picco” that you could probably pocket and take anywhere.

As previewed earlier this year, Google Chrome is now operating on a two-week release cycle.

Samsung has beaten Apple to the punch, but I’m annoyed that while it’s, in fact, a fantastic device, it’ll only help bolster the sales of the long-rumored iPhone Fold.
