As we all know, AT&T and Verizon tragically and maliciously locked the bootloaders of their Galaxy S 4 models. We don’t know why Samsung is letting these carriers walk all over them, but that’s how it is. However, to compensate, Samsung is releasing developer editions of these two models. These devices are virtually identical to the originals, with the… Read more
Traveling. It’s something that we’ve all been a part of. Whether it’s a short day-trip, a two-month business trip, or a week-long vacation, it’s traveling. But as time has gone on, we’ve further incorporated technology into the way we travel. Satellite internet is available all throughout the air and oceans, televisions can be found in any hotel room,… Read more
The HTC First was released with a lot riding on it. It was HTC’s only other current gen device released, aside from the HTC One, and it was their second attempt at a Facebook phone. The partnership with Facebook apparently didn’t work out, as many say Facebook Home was supposed to be delayed to give the HTC First time to sell with an “exclusive” piece… Read more
Being a Verizon customer has been quite eventful, huh? Not only did the network deny its customers the popular HTC One, but when all the other carriers released the Samsung Galaxy S 4, Verizon had only announced pre-orders and a release date that was over a month away. Luckily, Verizon pushed that release date forward a week, and today is the day it… Read more
The HTC One is HTC’s newest flagship, but like previous devices HTC has made, it’s missing a few features. Things like a removable battery and a microSD card slot are absent on this unibody beauty. However, looking at the Chinese and Japanese models of the One, there is a removable cover with a microSD slot. So why do those countries get microSD slot… Read more
Last year, AT&T announced the Samsung Galaxy S III in an exclusive red color, and boy what a sexy hue of red it was. And while some people may have been upset that it was exclusive, AT& customers must have been happy. Well the same thing is happening this year, with AT&T announcing today that they will exclusively carry the new Samsung Galaxy S 4 in the… Read more
The city of Raytown, Missouri was recently selected as a candidate for Google Fiber (lucky), and it was up to the city itself whether Google would go through with its plans. And when time came to vote, the City Alderman (what a fun word!) did not disappoint. They ended up voting unanimously to bring Google Fiber to their area. Don’t forget that… Read more
Pop open the bubbly this morning as Samsung officially announces that it has surpassed 10 million Galaxy S 4 units sold in less than one month. Samsung Mobile CEO JK Shin promised as much last week and we suspected that if anyone knew just how close the company was to the 10 million mark, it was him. In comparison the Galaxy S III took around 50 days to… Read more
Rugged phones may not be so popular, but it looks like waterproof higher end devices are starting to be! To compete with the Sony Xperia Z and the unreleased Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active, LG has unveiled the Optimus GJ. It’s very similar to the Optimus G, with the same quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2GB of RAM, 4.7″ 720p display, and 13MP camera. The… Read more
The AT&T LG Optimus G Pro has only recently come out, and it’s already on a massive sale. Unfortunately, not everyone can take advantage of this sale. It’s only available in Fry’s, and to make things even harder, it’s only available in retail locations. So if you live around a Fry’s, this may be a great deal for you. Otherwise, we’re sorry. Maybe check… Read more
In a list of the most valuable companies made by BrandZ, Google has gone from third place to second. Its brand value is now $113.669 billion, overtaking IBM (who’s brand is valued at $112.536 billion). It’s a pretty tight race, but Google has taken second place. Of course, they are nowhere near Apple’s brand value of $185.071 billion, which puts them at… Read more
With Samsung under fire all this time from Apple and its lawyers, we didn’t expect it to stop. However, we also didn’t expect them to go after Google services. When adding the Galaxy S 4 to their lawsuit against Samsung, they also added in a few Siri patents that they claim are violated by Samsung’s inclusion of Google Now. This is not a Samsung… Read more
