We've made it through yet another year at IFA — that's Internationale Funkausstellung, since you were asking — and have winged our way home from Berlin, Germany.

Opera Mini for Android sports a nifty data saving feature that lets you access the internet without worrying about hitting your bundle limit.

We're now deep into Generation Two of Android Wear, and Google has all of their partners exactly where they want them. As early adopters, many of us Android folk are used to living on the bleeding edge. The hardware, powered by not-quite-polished software, is what some of us live for.
