Ever since Google released the source code for Ice Cream Sandwich, plenty of developers out there got to work quickly to bring us that delicious treat to our devices. Some of you are probably waiting for CM9 to drop, and others (like myself) are ambitious and will flash any alpha or beta version of...

If you’re like me, you probably have accounts on all the major social networks. I am active on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. I also have an account on LinkedIn, though I rarely use it for anything. One of my favorite things about Android is the social integration the platform brings along with...

I know I am far from a MIUI expert. I never claimed to be and never will. I find new themes, mods and even new settings I never noticed before. Heck, I just learned that you can a screen shot on MIUI by holding down the menu key and the volume down button. So when I just came across a theme for the 4X4...

When it comes to custom ROMs there are a few names that stand out to any community member. CyongenMOD and MIUI. The two ROMs almost exist side by side and most people who I know anyways have used both at one time or another. They are very desirable builds that can offer a lot to and Android user. Thanks...

Here comes another amazing cool sounding device that we will have to track down at CES 2012. There is a new teaser of an upcoming gaming tablet from multi-platform peripheral and gaming laptop manufacture Razer. Not to be confused with the DROID Razr. Their latest endeavor is labeled as ‘Project...

When you think of LTE your mind probably wanders straight to Verizon, maybe AT&T, but usually not to a smaller carrier like U.S. Cellular. They aren’t to be underestimated though. They have some pretty great device offerings, great rate plans, amazing trade in options and some pretty stellar...

Well this is a new one on me. We have recently seen other companies facing lawsuits, being accused of bribery and other ethical behavior before. I have never seen a cell phone manufacturer under investigation for selling phones. Apparently the US Government has sanctions against the Iranian Government...

The Samsung Replenish is easily one of those odd-looking devices that made its way to Sprint. Offering the users a 2.8-inch a mild 2MP camera Wi-Fi, GPS, multiple colors and an optional solar door charging accessory. Aimed at the eco-friendly users and giving it sort of a Blackberry look makes it an...

We’ve seen some pretty inventive ways to test the durability of an electronic device before, but this takes the cake. Leave it to a group of zany Europeans with an abundance of idle time and a Sony Ericsson Xperia Active in-hand to take endurance tests to the next level. In this trio of videos...

When one hears about a budget tablet they generally think of extremely low specs, slow laggy operations coupled with an out dated version of Android. Root may exist but custom ROMs for many are few and far between. Doing your homework can help you avoid a lackluster device and wasting not only your time...

A launch date for anything, be it a phone, a tablet, an app or a game, should never have a YEAR attached to the launch of it. Those of you that are big Sonic fans will be happy to know there is an Episode 2 coming at least. The trailer below doesn’t include a look at any game play but will make...

I have no doubts in my mind you are all going to see a ton of articles with CES listed in them, not only from us, but from all over the web. The event doesn’t officially start until Tuesday with many things starting on Sunday morning. With the show so close, it is inevitable that a few leaks...

The closer we get to CES 2012 the more news, emails, invites and references we start seeing from major players. They won’t out right tell us what they have in store, it is supposed to be a big event with all eye on them. Yesterday, Sony Ericsson posted up a photo with a group of people sitting...

On Tuesday Wilson Electronics unveiled the Sleek 4G-V, which is the world’s very first LTE signal booster. Will this help with all the Verizon 4G LTE outages?!?! Unlikely. Sorry I just had to make fun off the struggles Big Red has had lately with their superfast broadband service. Not only will...

When will it end? Now I am not going to go on an angry diatribe about how stupid I think the whole Siri craze is, but COME ON. Android has had this technology long before Siri hit the iOS. I know, it does not talk back to us, but so what. I guess it just creeps me out a little bit that my phone will develop a...
