This week in mobile, Nexus, iPhone6, and more. Fuel you mobile knowledge.

Every Friday, we’d like to help you “top up” your weekly knowledge of the mobile industry so you can keep your finger on the pulse.
Nexus Red
Google's Nexus 5 now comes in red. But not your average fire engine red; we're talking "garish, bright and very angry red" with "a retro-future appeal." The phone carried the same specs as other Nexus 5s including the same glorious large screen. via Wired

Apple also reportedly hired a sleep researcher expert away from Philips for a health app called "Healthbook." via TechCrunch
iPhone 6 Mockups

Secret
Although Paper had its heyday in the news this week, we're obsessed with Secret. This is going to be the next big thing. Secret is an app that allows your to connect and share what you’re thinking and feeling with your network. The app, which has a Post Secret vibe, does not have names or profiles attached to posts. The more people that love your posts, the further they spread across the platform. It’s addictive.
