The first two lessons learned at any university are that the financial aid office is a nightmare, and the campus bookstore is never going to give you a deal when buying or selling back textbooks. Amazon is attempting to swoop-in and address the later issue with its new Amazon Student app for Android. Previously available only for the iPhone, Amazon Student is a rebranded and focused version of the Price Check by Amazon app

We worked closely with the Android team as they developed Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich, http://goo.gl/UpUom ), so you’ll see the same attention to beauty and simplicity in our new design.” Eidelson wasn’t lying when he said it was meant to look similar. The app also fixes what had been a fairly buggy and unpolished set of notifications with more discrete notification options

The LG Enlighten from Verizon wasn’t supposed to “wow” me like the high-profile phones that have been released lately.

Today, Google announced via their Google Mobile Blog that they have just updated their mobile Weather search page. The update is definitely a refinement to the former weather search page and makes Google mobile weather results feel more like a native app than something in the browser. If you go to your browser and search for ‘weather’ you will be presented with the new styling.
