You can now grab Android P DP2’s updated screenshot editor for any device

-

  • The second Android P developer preview's Markup is now available for older devices as an unofficial port.
  • Markup is Android P's screenshot editing tool that lets you crop and draw on screenshots.
  • You do not need to root your device to download and install the Markup port.

Even though several Android versions before it let you take screenshots, Android P is the first to offer a native screenshot editing tool in the form of Markup. With Android P on its second developer preview, some amazing soul on XDA Developers decided to backport the latest version of the screenshot editing tool for other Android devices.

An older version of Markup is still available, but this updated port includes two new features.

For one, the editing tools bar at the bottom no longer overlaps the screenshot and now appears below the screenshot. Markup also features a share button next to the save button on the top right of the editing window. Previously, the Share button showed up next to the Edit button in the screenshot notification.

In terms of functionality, Markup lets you crop and draw over screenshots, but nothing more. If you need features like a scrolling screenshot, filters, text, and the ability to rotate, you will still need to look elsewhere.

Even so, we still have a few months to go until Android P's stable release. There remains plenty of time for Google to further augment Markup with additional features.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity.

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
