Meet the Lenovo P770 Android Phone

It isn’t too often Lenovo does something to deserve the “side eye” treatment, and while cooking up an Android smartphone would certainly do the trick, the Lenovo P770 doesn’t look all that bad.

Mobility Digest Review: Rivacase 5010 10.2" Tablet Bag

Everybody around here is Windows Phone and Apple it seems, I’m a little Android and Windows phone personally, not really much Apple for me. Today for review I have what could be an iPad 4 case or really any tablet up to 10.2” in size like my Acer Iconia A500. The case was provided for review by our friends at GearZap and it’s the Rivacase 5010 Tablet Bag. Bag might not be the right word for it though, it’s more of a case or even a sleeve I think, but it also comes with a strap that is removable. You can use it with the strap like a bag, or without the strap and it’s more of a case. What makes this case or bag or whatever special is the protection it will offer for whatever tablet you might be putting in it. The case features what they call ‘slow resistance memory foam’ which is (big words coming) viscoelastic polyurethane that offers a great deal of protection as it is able to withstand drops, bumps and even possibly being crushed. I wouldn’t run it over with my car though even it if was guaranteed! If you’re looking for protection you can’t get much better than this without adding a great deal more weight as the foam is very lightweight but yet offers a lot of protection.

Shadowgun: DeadZone Available on iOS and Android for Free

Free is nice, and free games are even nicer I think, especially good ones like Shadowgun: DeadZone which is of course now free on iOS and Android. It’s not my type of game, it’s multiplayer only, and I’m more of a single player gamer, then again I never really played any multiplayer games on mobile … Read more
