Nothing ever stands still in the high-tech industry. This week we saw smart-glasses, the unfolding of a smartphone, the appearance of a new Blackberry enterprise strategy, the disappearance of Google's hands-free mobile payment app, and developments in robotics worthy of a sci-fi horror flick. And that's just to name a few. Here are some highlights...

We are excited to start a new series of blogs that will highlight things going on in the industry that this community may find interesting and informative. Look for weekly posts on Monday that include a series of links to articles and possibly some short commentary.

A nice short read over your morning coffee, "working lunch" or your late night red bull "break from coding".

Let me know what you think - hope you find it useful.

Hi Everyone,

The Zebra team had a very busy time at the AT&T Developer Summit 2017 in Las Vegas, January 3-4. And I’m not just talking about listening to keynote speaker Joseph Gordon Levitt or hearing BLINK-182 play.

Zebra has again expanded and enhanced our Developer Tools with an enhanced release of our Browser Print Developer Tool.   

New features for this release:

• Now supports MAC OSX!
• Supports Safari Browser
• Supports Networked printers
• Convert images (BMP and JPG) to make them printable
• We added a few more printers to our tested and compatible list

Official Announcement:

Android Marshmallow and Nougat represent a concerted effort from Google to cater for the Enterprise with greater security and the ability to manage ruggedized devices such as those offered by Zebra.  Understandably Marshmallow & Nougat also expose a slew of new functionality primarily aimed at consumers giving them more responsibility and power such as run time permissions and multi-window features. Zebra has already started releasing Marshmallow devices.

In this DEV { TALK } we will cover:

This document details the developer impact of moving to Zebra devices running Android Marshmallow (API level 23).
