Just when Amazon stops giving away apps for free, the company turns around the following week to start anew. This week is no different, as Amazon is giving away $105 worth of apps for free.

Updated on 04-16-2015 by Williams Pelegrin: Amazon reached out to us, clarifying that the promotion actually ends on Saturday, April 18. Gives you a little more time to download these free apps.

Even though we’ve seen some of these apps before, we’re certainly not complaining. Free is free, and we even get some new goodies. Games such as Adventure Time Game Wizard and Prince of Persia Classic are now free, as well as apps such as Wolfram|Alpha and Runtastic Pro.

It’s a pretty healthy list of apps and games, so check the list below to see if any of them spark any interest.

Since the free apps are part of Amazon’s “Free App of the Day” promotion, however, you’ll want to decide sooner rather than later. The promotion ends Saturday, April 18. Even if you miss this opportunity, Amazon regularly bundles apps and puts them out for free, so this will likely not be the last time you’ll see these apps sans price tag in the Appstore.

The future of the Google Pixel Tablet doesn’t look good
Google Pixel Tablet on its charging dock.

Google’s Pixel lineup has been pretty solid lately -- at least, for most of its hardware, anyway. But there’s one Google Pixel device that seems to have flopped so hard that it may end up being a one-off thing, and that’s the Pixel Tablet.

If you’re hoping to hear some news about a proper Pixel Tablet 2, we have some bad news. According to a recent report from Android Headlines, it seems that Google has already canceled plans for a Pixel Tablet 3. But wait! Another report on Android Authority claims that it was actually the Pixel Tablet 2 that was canned, not the Pixel Tablet 3. Considering that you can’t have a third iteration before having a second, I think it’s safe to say that whatever the next version was going to be, we’re not going to see it — at least not for a while.

My favorite smartphone camera of 2024 isn’t made by Apple or Google
A person holding the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

When I needed to take photos of a car for a series of stories this month, only one phone came to mind, and it wasn’t one of the top devices made by Google, Samsung, or Apple. It’s the fantastic Xiaomi 14 Ultra, and over the course of a few days, it cemented its place as my favorite camera phone of 2024. Here’s why.
Why is it the best?

I already held the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s camera in high regard after having reviewed the phone and tested it out against other cameras. I especially loved the versatility of the brilliant Photography Kit accessory. But most of this happened earlier on in the year before other brands had the chance to release serious competitors. I knew I had to give it another try, just to be sure of my feelings.
