Screenshots of redesigned Gmail app leaked during I/O session
It seems like Google may have casually leaked a preview of an updated Gmail app. During an I/O session called “Structure in Android design,” a few screenshots of what looks like a revamped Gmail app design were shown, highlighting a new navigation drawer and a moved action bar.
The navigation bar looks like it would be scrollable, considering important functions like trash, archive, and drafts are missing from the screenshot. The action bar has been consolidated into just compose and search, and have been moved to the top of the screen, allowing for more room to read emails. There are a few more less significant changes as well, like larger stars in the inbox.
These changes look great, and should make the app easier to use. I’m interested to see what other changes, if any, the update will contain. We’ll let you know when more information comes out, and of course when it releases.

Android 4.3 reportedly spotted on a Nexus 4 with new camera software (update: video)
We’ve already seen evidence confirming the existence of Android 4.3, and we now have our first shots that appear to show the OS running on an actual device. According to a member of the xda-developers forum, the phone above was spotted at the Thailand Mobile Expo currently taking place, with the about section of the OS and its familiar easter egg clearly indicating that it’s Android 4.3 — and still going by the Jelly Bean moniker. Of the three shots provided, the only one revealing any significant changes is the camera app, which sports some retooled controls that have been shifted to the side.
Update: A video has now turned up that offers a better look at the new camera interface. Check it out after the break.

[New App] ArtFlow Studio For Android Transforms Your Tablet Into A Drawing Pad
Since their inception, tablets have been seen as a computing form factor conducive to a particular kind of artistic expression: drawing and painting. Of course, accurate sketching can be a little difficult with clumsy fingers, and conductive stylus pens have proven a middling solution, at best. Fortunately, with the advent dual-digitizers capable of supporting pressure-sensitive styli – like those found in Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10.1 – tablets have become a much more practical art tool. Hardware is nothing without the software to take advantage of it, though. Enter ArtFlow, a new drawing app for Android that comes with, in addition to a number of effects, support for advanced styli baked in.
- [Quick Look] Hand Stylus: Not All Styli Are Created Equal, And This One Proves It
- [Deal Alert] Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 16GB For $370 With Free Shipping From eBay Daily Deals ($130 Off)
- [Weekend Poll] Would You Like Some Stylus With Your Tablet, Sir?

Nexus 4 running what could be Android 4.3 found at Thailand mobile expo
Could these be some of the subtle changes to be found in Android 4.3?
Although we didn't get a big reveal of the next version of Android at Google I/O, some evidence is mounting that Android 4.3 could be the impending next version. According to pictures posted by a user at XDA, at a mobile expo in Thailand at least one Nexus 4 is being put on display running a purported build of Android 4.3 (JWR45B). Now we've seen plenty of faked "About phone" screens in our days, and that is a very real possibility in any of these types of leaks. But as the user poked around the phone to show a revamped camera UI, we tend to give this more credibility. The UI basically looks to be an expansion of the current long-press and swipe gestures found in Android 4.2, with multiple levels of settings that can be accessed — thankfully none of which can be hidden by your thumb anymore.
Aside from the slightly different numbering and a visual refresh of the camera, we're very light on details for this potentially upcoming release. Hang around after the break for a video of the device in action, with most of the time spent on the new camera UI.

BBC iPlayer app updated with 10-inch tablet support, UI tweaks
Support for larger Android tablets finally arrives in the BBC's streaming app
The BBC has updated its iPlayer app for Android, bringing support for 10-inch tablets for the first time. The new iPlayer version 1.7.0 has just landed on Google Play, allowing larger tablets like the Nexus 10 and Xperia Tablet Z to enjoy the full iPlayer experience. In addition, the Beeb says it's tweaked the phone and 7-inch tablet layouts, though we're not noticing any huge differences on our own devices.
Download support — long present in the iOS version of iPlayer — is still absent, but a note in the changelog reminds users that the BBC is working on bringing this feature to Android.
Hit the Google Play link up top to grab the new version of iPlayer. You'll also want to grab the BBC Media Player companion app for video playback.

Fast & Furious 6 Android Game Arrives
![[Photo Source: Google Play]](http://cdn.thedroidguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ff6.jpg)
[Photo Source: Google Play]
After the Fast & Furious 6 movie made its world premiere, its official game for Android immediately followed. The official Fast & Furious 6 game for Android is now available at the Google Play Store. The best thing about it is that it is free. So, if you are into high-octane racing games or you are simply a fan of the movie, this one is perfect for you.
Features
The game features high end graphics, new game modes, many challenges and a lot of missions that will keep your eyes fastened on your Android device.
The game is set in the city of London and the plot involves taking part in a series of heists. Every successful mission will let you progress throughout the game and it will let you unlock more vehicles or customize the cars in your garage.
There are plenty of cars that you can choose from in the game. Among them is the 1970 Dodge Charger, plus all the popular supercars that we have today.
You can compete with other players globally too by dominating the leaderboards if you are really hungry for competition.
Reception
Initially, fans were excited about this game. Its initial release alone gained it more than 3,000 downloads. But despite its stunning graphics and gameplay, many users are complaining about the game’s frequent crashing. Still, the game got an average rating of 3.4 out of 5 stars.
Video
Check out the video of the game below to see what the Fast & Furious 6 Android game can offer you:
About the Movie
The movie where the game is based on is the sixth installment of the ever-successful Fast and Furious film franchise which stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez with the addition of the wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson. It came out in the international theaters this week but it already made its premiere in the UK last May 17.
