HP’s Slate 7 may not be the most high end tablet (in fact, it’s pretty darn low end), but its price may justify the sacrifices. It will retail at only $169, which is pretty cheap for a tablet not made of the cheapest plastic known to man by a Chinese knockoff company. And though it features a low resolution display and low end specs, it could still be a… Read more
Best Buy is now claiming that those who pre-ordered the Verizon Galaxy SIII will be getting them June 28th. Yesterday, two dates were most expected, and they were July 6th and 9th. Now it seems that the 9th is the most likely (being stated during checkout when pre-ordering the device on Verizon’s own site). Considering Best Buy is contradicting Verizon… Read more
After the whole ordeal with the HTC One X for both AT&T and Sprint (EVO 4G LTE) being held up in customs, many AT&T stores ran out of One X inventory.

But the tablet comes at a not-so-budget price; it’s $349. For $249, the… Read more
The latest rumor about the Nexus family is that Google and ASUS will be shipping a tablet next month. This goes against the rumor that they will release 5 devices on November 5th to celebrate Android’s 5th anniversary, which I honestly enjoy very much. But it could very well be true. This ASUS Nexus tablet that has been rumored for a long time is… Read more
On June 1st, Sprint’s early upgrade program will be no more. It was a high cost program and Sprint is cancelling it to reduce costs. Before, Sprint would allow upgrades a few weeks early, often in the case of a broken phone. If you want to take advantage of this program in the short 15 days you have, you definitely should before it’s gone… Read more
An XDA member was searching for the Xperia Ion on Google when he came across this Google ad. Spotting an approximate release date for an unannounced device, he took a screenshot. Thank you XDA member! Now we know that the AT&T Xperia Ion, complete with a 12.1MP camera and 4G LTE, is coming out sometime in June. This date is in direct competition with… Read more
