Google Home Mini’s new aqua model is now shipping — a month late

It’s a month late, but the aqua version of Google’s Home Mini is now shipping in the US (via Android Police). The funky-colored smart speaker was originally announced ahead of Google’s October 9th hardware event with a planned release date of October 29th. The Home Mini’s latest color is now available at the Google Store and Walmart for $49.

When the standard Google Home was first announced, Google made a big deal about the fact that you could remove its speaker grille in order to change its color from the standard conservative gray. However, when the Home Mini arrived on the scene, these customization options were sacrificed at the altar of price and portability. In other words, whichever color of Google Home Mini you choose to buy, you’re going to be stuck with it — so choose carefully. The other colorful option, coral, also remains available.

How to install Fortnite on Android

Epic Games launched its battle royale hit Fortnite on Android devices last week with a big catch: it was exclusive to Samsung-made phones for a few days as a way to help market the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Now, the exclusivity period appears to be over, and beta invite codes are going out to select users of non-Samsung phones like the Google Pixel 2 XL. If you’re itching to dive off the battle bus on mobile, you might have to hold on just a little while longer: there appears to be a waiting list, just like there was when the game launched on iOS. There’s also a bit of trickiness involving exactly how you get the app because Epic announced it would be distributing the Android version of Fortnite on its own terms . Last week, the app was distributed through Samsung’s app store, and Epic is using its own website and a Fortnite Installer program to distribute the game more widely on all compatible Android devices. (Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said this is basically to avoid paying Google...
