Google Fi's new "unlimited" plan is an admission of defeat for the upstart MVNO‎

Google announced a new "unlimited" plan for its Fi cellular service this morning, and on paper, it's an improvement in most ways over the company's current pricing model for heavy duty users. Data caps have been increased to 22GB before throttling, while pricing for individuals has been lowered to $70 per month (previously, Fi maxed out at $80/mo for individual users). The catch is that it's $70 per month, full stop — Fi's dynamic pricing doesn't apply to unlimited subscribers.

Google Play Games will shutter its multiplayer services next year, leaving some older games to die‎

Back in the not-quite-dark-ages of Android, new services and APIs were launching seemingly every other week as Google and Apple engaged in an aggressive land grab to acquire users and tempt developers. Gaming became a popular battleground, and Google was investing in new features for Play Games like an API that gave developers the infrastructure to run real-time and turn-based multiplayer games for free. However, like many other older Play Games APIs, Google will be shutting this one down in about six months and it may render some older games unplayable.

Upcoming 'Google Nest Wifi' will reportedly have built-in Assistant speakers‎

Google Wifi is, for our money, the best mesh Wi-Fi setup you can get. Soon, it'll reportedly get even better: according to 9to5Google, Google plans to launch a refreshed version of the router system with the Google Assistant built right in at its New York hardware event next month. The new system will apparently be under the Nest brand, as it moves toward being Google's only smart home line. The main router won't include a speaker, but will come with smaller "beacons" that extend the primary unit's signal and double as speakers roughly on par with Google Home Mini devices.

LineageOS brings back support for Xiaomi phones, updates more devices to Pie‎

The LineageOS project is busy as always, adding support for more devices and implementing new features. The last time we covered the popular custom ROM, official builds for the OnePlus 6T and 7 Pro arrived, and there have been plenty of additions (or re-additions, in some cases) since then. In early August, LineageOS halted all builds for Xiaomi devices due to a DMCA claim filed against some proprietary components. It seems the issue has been resolved, because Xiaomi phones are being re-added to the official build roster.

Google Fi gets unlimited plan, Pixel 3 and 3 XL are 50% off for a limited time‎

Google Fi made a name for itself because of its transparent pricing. A base fee for unlimited calls and text messages plus pay-as-you-use data, with costs capped at a certain threshold to keep you from breaking the bank. Still, people in need of a lot of data might prefer fixed costs for budgeting reasons, and they'll be pleased to learn that Google now offers a $70 unlimited data plan for a single line.

Last summer, The Beeb (as it's affectionately known on my side of the pond) launched a new app for all of its various audio content, inventively called BBC Sounds. At that point, we knew the BBC iPlayer Radio app's days were numbered, but now the time has finally come to say goodbye to what many people still believe is the superior app. As of yesterday, iPlayer Radio is entering a staggered shutdown process, with one tipster writing in yesterday to tell us it had stopped working for them already.
