Copy Edit #2

From DailyTech.Org:

Here, the use of double quotes within double quotes makes this paragraph very confusing. The use of single quotes should be used instead. The quoted sentence is also a run-on, though that is not the fault of DailyTech. Still, they could correct this.

Original:
GoogleMobile blog writes: "In addition to existing, popular features like local availability, fast barcode scanning and voice search, version 1.3 includes new search filters like “price” and “brand” to help users refine their searches to find the perfect product."


Corrected:
GoogleMobile blog writes: "In addition to [...] popular features like local availability, fast barcode scanning and voice search, version 1.3 includes new search filters like 'price' and 'brand' to help users refine their searches to find the perfect product."
