3G Equipped Nexus 7 Tablet Coming In Six Weeks??!!
To say that the Nexus 7 tablet has been popular may be a bit of an understatement. It brings very good hardware combined with Google’s latest software at a very nice price. If there is one aspect of the tablet that I have heard people complain about it is the lack of 3G. The initial offering of the tab has been WiFi only, which helps keep the tablet in the $200 price range along with not having to involve any carriers. Now lets say that you really want the 7 but...

GrandPrix Closer Look: Trinity Kernel And Trinity Kernel Toolbox For The Nexus 7
Now when I first rooted my Nexus 7, I had no idea what kernel I should run on my daily setup. I kept flashing several of them but none of them truly made me happy. Battery life is always my top priority when dealing with any device I own and none of the kernels I was running gave me the battery life I wanted. Like any crack flasher would, I was flashing every update for the kernel nightly, modifying the voltages and underclocking the... Read The Rest →

Ever since I found out that my good friend and developer Liquid had broken the data barrier on the Thunderbolt I’ve been ecstatic.

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. Perhaps that will change, and it’s not like their impossible to get, but I mention it because it is a major complaint for MIUI fans that live elsewhere in the world.

Flash For Android Support Ending Tomorrow, All New Flash Player Downloads Will Be Blocked!!!
I’m not sure if you remember it, but late last year Adobe announced that it would be withdrawing support for Flash on Android. There was a lot of outcry over this and soon Adobe released an update into the Play Store that extended Flash Support to devices running Android 4.0 ICS. There are still many sites and media out there using Flash so why would Adobe move away from it? Let’s take a look. Flash has been around since the mid 1990′s when it originated with an application called SmartSketch. Flash... Read The Rest →
