The Facebook for Android app has been updated today, bringing with it several new features including the ability to Like posts, photos and Pages even when you are offline. The update, version 32.0.0.23.15 for those keeping score at home, is available now in the Google Play store and of course is free. There are several new features in this release so it is certainly one to go get.
The Dropbox for Android app has been updated with a new feature that allows users to preview an Excel file prior to actually opening it with the Excel app. The update, version 2.5.0.4 for those keeping score at home, is available now and it is designed for both Android phones and tablets.
It may be time for me to create a “This Week in 6Tag Updates” section of the site.
Once again developer Rudy Huyn has dropped another update to the popular Instagram app for Windows Phone, this time it increments up to version 4.3 for those keeping score at home. This update, like the 4.2 update last week, brings several new features both from a photo sharing perspective as well as the user experience. It’s certainly worth the upgrade and it is available now in the Windows Phone store.
Over the weekend I added 15 new wallpapers to the wallpaper page here on the site. These are a collection of some I have found as I scurry about the Web that I like and I hope you do to. This morning I’ve added even more to the page by uploading 54 new ones. That brings the total up to 119 on the page ranging from mountains to city streets and even a leopard or two. I make no claim to authorship on most of these. In fact there are about 15 of the 119 that I’ve actually created. I’ve tried to give credit where due but in some cases that’s not possible.

Microsoft has released an update to the various Office for Windows 10 apps today as they prepare the preview apps for wider distribution. Word, Excel and PowerPoint all have received updated this morning, mostly focused on bug fixes and performance improvements. If you are running the Office for Windows 10 preview app then you should go to the Windows Store beta in Windows 10 and get the updates.
The updates come with it widely expected that the next release of Windows 10 for Phone this week to contain the preview apps. The last update to the Technical Preview not only did not have the new Office for Windows 10 apps but it actually killed off the existing Office hub for Windows Phone. Hopefully that gets sorted this week.
OpenTable has updated their app for Android today, bringing significantly improved integration with Google Maps. The update to OpenTable for Android, version 4.4.2.1170 for those keeping score at home, is available now in the Google Play store. It is designed for both Android phones and tablets. For those not familar with OpenTable, it is a service-meets-app that allows you to find restaurants near you and make bookings at them for that day or in the future. Each time you dine you get points which can be redeemed for discounts at any restaurant who is in the OpenTable program. I have used the app for years and it is a great way to find a place to eat if you are not familiar with the city you happen to be visiting or even at home to get a table at that popular restaurant.
This morning I have uploaded 15 new wallpapers for you to download (for free) and use on your Android or Windows Phone device.

To get to the wallpaper page, just use the top navigation of the site or click this link. There you will find the entire collection.
Wallpapers are a great way to personalize your mobile experience, be it your phone, tablet or even your laptop PC or Macbook. There are literally millions of them on the web so my little collection is far from complete nor will it have something for everyone.
Tiny Troopers, the top-down army assault game, has migrated from Windows Phone to Windows PC today. Tiny Troopers features 30 explosive missions spread across three chapters, all tied together into an involving, narrative-driven campaign. Your troops will get stronger and more battle hardened the more missions they survive. Can you keep your squad alive through the whole war? It’s a fun game and one that I’ve have spent hours playing on my Lumia 1320.
