If you have not seen the Fire, it is a 7″ tablet running a heavily skinned version of Android with a great price point of $200. Amazon has sold about a bazillion of them and is looking to duplicate the success of the Fire with its replacement. Today they announced that they are totally sold out of the Fire which lines them up rather nicely for Amazon’s mystery announcement... Read The Rest →

JKeene Reviews-Bean’s Custom Stock ROM For Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Yesterday the jury in the big Apple vs Samsung case delivered their verdict and it went just about as bad as Samsung feared.

Today via Twitter... Read The Rest →
JKeene Reviews- Synergy ROM For Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3!!
One of the last things I did before I got rid of my Galaxy Nexus was flash the JB leak. It lead to nothing but problems, the biggest being the almost daily softbricks. The problem was fixed before the phone left but it showed me what can happen to your phone when you run custom software. I work in healthcare and cannot afford to have a phone that does not work. So when my S3 came along, I will admit to being a bit gun-shy. In addition I wanted to use... Read The Rest →

It has been a really busy couple of days on the GSIII front. From Jellybean video leaks to a potential bootloader hack, yesterday was chock full of news. Today brings us something even bigger!

HTC Proto Rumored, Very Nice Mid-Level Specs On Board!!
In the cut throat world of Android phones, HTC has had its peaks and valleys. Just the other year they were on top of the Android world with best-selling phones on multiple carriers. Last year they received a lot of criticism about flooding the market with look-alike phones, confusing consumers and sales dropped.
