E FUN joins the tablet fray with their latest addition to the Nextbook family, but one thing that we’re sore about is this – it does not run on the tablet optimized version of Google’s Android operating system, which is known as Honeycomb, but rather, will be running on the smartphone-centric Android 2.3 Gingerbread instead.

The Android community may be awaiting its very own Instagram app , but at least Flickr has now stepped up to fill the void. Yesterday, the photo-sharing service unveiled its very first Android app, along with a new social feature known as Photo Session. Available for free on the Android Market, the app allows users to snap, filter and upload their photos directly to Facebook, Twitter or Flickr, all from the comfort of their own handset. It also features an array of camera functions like flash, ratio selection, and shutter focus, along with ten high-quality filters.

Flash fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief — Adobe has confirmed that the next version of Windows will, in fact, support work built on its once ubiquitous web publishing platform.

The version of Internet Explorer 10 built for that interface will play nicely with Flash.

Microsoft’s brand new Windows 8 Metro user interface will not support Adobe Flash or other plug-ins, instead embracing the HTML5 set of web standards, according to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer team leader Dean Hachamovitch.
