| Dropbox Acquires App Creator Endorse Posted: 21 Jul 2013 01:44 PM PDT  Dropbox team welcomes Endorse aboard
Dropbox, the San Francisco-based cloud-storage company, has acquired Endorse, creators of a mobile app that offered cash-back deals to buyers supporting particular brands. Endorse's service shut down on June 19th, advising users they still had until the end of the month to use up any point balances or redeem "Endorse cash." CNET reports Dropbox hasn't yet disclosed whether or not Endorse's service will be rolled up into the cloud storage's umbrella, but it's likely the talent team will simply be assimilated into Dropbox's staff. There were no particular details leaked regarding the financial details of the transaction, but it is interesting to note that Endorse had previously partnered with companies like General Mills and Pepsico for customer incentives before. |
| Nvidia Shield Handheld Launching July 31st Posted: 21 Jul 2013 01:09 PM PDT  Shield console finally receives concrete launch date
After a final round of quality assurance (QA) testing revealed a mechanical issue in the Shield handheld gaming platform, Nvidia was forced to delay the official release for some time. Now, Android Central reports a finalized ship date of July 31st for the little handheld that could. An email was sent out to Nvidia Shield buyers with the date announcement: "We want to thank you for your patience and for sticking with us through the shipment delay of your Shield. We have great news to share with you -- your Shield will ship on July 31st." Though the devices will be shipping at the end of this month, we're unlikely to see users testing them while out and about until sometime in mid-August. It's been a long ride, but we're eager to see how the newest handheld in the game will perform in the market. Preorder yours now at the official Nvidia website. |
