Ha, well here is one I didn’t see coming. According to a report form Reuters, a judge in Mannheim ruled against Microsoft in the on going patent disputes with Motorola Mobility. The judge ordered Microsoft to remove its Xbox 360 and Windows 7 products from German retailers. This isn’t going to stop Microsoft from selling their products though. [...]
Earlier this afternoon, I stepped outside on my front porch to satisfy my pesky nicotine habit and I was greeted by a nice surprise in the form of an unexpected FedEx package laying just inside my porch door. I’m always on the lookout for the delivery truck, so I was quite surprised to see that [...]
Ok, so I am sitting here trying to get a little bit of work done for you guys. It is only 9:17pm, but it has been a long day. Kids can take it out of you. Then I get this awesome little email alert that I have set up for Daily Steals. You guys know [...]
Roku is not a name some of you may have ever heard of before. Essentially it is a multimedia set-top box company that has a few products on the market at great prices. They get good reviews and work as well as any other box in the market, in my opinion. The die-hard Roku users will go [...]
By the time you read this post, there will only be a few more hours left in 2011 — man, that went by quick, didn’t it? It seems like the older you get, the faster they go. At any rate, 2011 was a great year for us as a team and for myself as well. [...]
One of the most amazing things about my position here at AndroidSPIN (other than all of you wonderful folks, of course) is trolling the Internet in search of news that I feel should be shared with our readers. Sometimes, when things get a little slow on the Android front, we like to take a few [...]
We are fast approaching one of our favorite events, the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. Many of your favorite blog and news sources will be in attendance doing what we can to provide you as much coverage as a person can do on the floor. To give the average individual an idea of what we [...]
Since the whole of Android is a bit slow today, I went digging for a few articles about more pressing matters than a new phone by HTC. That is when I came to learn that the Saunder School of Business at the University of British Columbia decided to run a study. They wanted to compare [...]

So here I am trying to bring you guys some useful news, games, apps and all that is Android that I can. I get a few new emails in my personal account and ignore them since I know they are either junk or nothing pertaining to work. I just so happened to glance over to [...]
This is most definitely going to be some what of a rant with many questions that are more poised for my personal understanding. I know I am not the only one out there that sees what is going on around the world and thinking “WTF is going on!” This isn’t aimed at any of the [...]
If you are looking for a gift to give the Android junkie that has everything, you might want to consider something you can afford. Rather than spend hundreds of dollars on a new tablet of phone, pick the Android lover in your life up a Cookie jar! Everyone loves cookies and with the holidays fast [...]
One of the most awesome jobs on the planet a person could possibly obtain is that of a Google Doodle team member. To get into the spirit for Halloween, they went to work on one of the most amazing pumpkin sculptures turned “Doodle” you will ever lay your eyes upon. After the break, you’ll find [...]
YouTube is one of the coolest, simplest and quite possibly the best place to find random entertainment, educational videos and even some generalized crap. Any idiot can grab a camera, or their phone, and upload anything they want to the service for you to view. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a very useful an inexpensive media source. [...]
All these talks of dual-core and quad-core can get a little out of control. For the general population it doesn’t mean a whole lot. It just sounds super cool to say, “I have a quad-core tablet, hows that dual-core one treating you?” It is all a bunch of rubbish if you ask me. There are [...]
