Honestly some of things Sammy did both before and leading up to the trial were not very wise... Read The Rest →

What’s This? HTC Has A Super Sexy Mystery Machine?
It hasn’t been a great year for HTC by any stretch of the imagination. At one point it looked like they were heading to be the number one Android maker or at least competition but things went way south for them.

Perhaps HTC still has some beautiful machines... Read The Rest →

Xaomi Says Me Too, With Second Mi Smartphone (Mi-Two) And Monster Specs
Xaomi of MIUI ROM fame has finally released details and specs on the next iteration of their Mi-One Android phone. You may recall the Mi-One was the first of the two and the Chinese company still only sells their handsets inside China.

Before we get into the Mi-Two, Xaomi also announced an upgraded version of... Read The Rest →
