It’s Fathers Day this weekend, in case you forgot. And if you have a father that is tech geek but not necessarily someone who needs to have the latest and greatest device, then check out the deal AT&T is offering this weekend. You can pick up up the current model Samsung Galaxy S II for … Read more
I don’t know about you, but I can’t see holding a tablet up and talking into it like a phone! I guess for VoIP on a tablet you’d use it as a speakerphone of sorts, right? Doesn’t that kind of defeat the whole privacy thing though? I guess it would be cool at home while … Read more
Now here’s an app that I think is well worth it: it’s the official American Red Cross Safety Tips app and it’s free, so there’s no reason not to get it. It’s out for both Android and iOS users, and it’s actually the first in a series of apps coming from Red Cross. It’s an … Read more
AT&T has just announced that it will be exclusively carrying the Sony Xperia ion starting June 24th. The ion is an Android phone with a 4.6” display and a 12mp camera and it’s Sony’s first 4G phone. The price will be $99.99 with new two-year agreement of course. Sony makes nice high quality phones; I’d … Read more
Max is back and he’s gone mobile. Well, he’s been mobile on iOS but now, finally, Android users can get in on the fun. Price is $2.99 and it’s available in the Google Play store right now. Oddly, according to the store, it works with all of my devices which I’ve learned not to trust … Read more
Samsung has introduced TecTiles™, programable NFC (near field communication) tags that, which touched by a (Android) device with NFC hardware built in to it, and Samsung’s free app installed, will trigger an “event.” The Tiles themselves sell for $14.99 for 5, and can be found on Samsung’s site, and (supposedly) inside carrier retail stores. You … Read more

There was little doubt that all of the major US carriers were going to be jumping on the Samsung Galaxy S III train after the huge success that the SGS2 was and how much noise the newest Sammy Flagship Device is getting. What we didn’t know was how many Regional US carriers would be getting … Read more
Wow I never would have guessed this. As I have mentioned before, I really liked the DROID RAZR by Motorola and would have really considered it had it been on AT&T. Instead, the Death Star’s firm grip on my wireless existence is almost absolute with the family marching to Apple’s drum. But Verizon has that … Read more
I believe I posted a little while ago about Win8 on iPad and wondered then as to what the point would be of something like that. Now SplashTop has come out with the same thing on Android tablets and again I have to ask why? What’s the point of running WIn8 apps on a totally … Read more
Hmm.. I think I want one of these. We’ve seen phone docks before that turn your phone into a laptop or netbook, but those were specific to the phone, and I thought they were neat but it seems they were short lived. I think the reason they didn’t do well is because they were phone … Read more
In the middle of May, many people were getting updates for their Verizon LG Spectrum from the Verizon support site but not over the air. The Update, VS920V6, which had a lot of fixes for email, Calendar and some widget love, is a pretty nice gesture on LG’s part while you wait for ICS Android … Read more
