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...

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
So after doing my first ROM review on the GS3, which focused on a rather stock ROM, the search was on for one with a little more bacon. Looking around I found a new ROM over on XDA by Beanstown106 and I knew I had my next ROM on my hands. Bean’s Custom ROM has gone above and beyond making sure that there is something for everyone. Now I know that the name says stock ROM but do not think for a second that Bean has let down those... Read The Rest →
Huge Victory For Apple In Court, Samsung To Owe Over $1Billion!!!!
Yesterday the jury in the big Apple vs Samsung case delivered their verdict and it went just about as bad as Samsung feared. The jury after deliberating mere hours of has ruled that Samsung violated Apple patents on over 20 devices and they have been fined $1,051,850,000. Yes that is over 1 billion dollars, Apple was not fined a dime nor found guilty in any way. The only silver lining here is that the jury found that the Galaxy Tab did not violate any patents so that device is in the... Read The Rest →
Samsung Shows Us The Human Side Of Phone Design In New Video
If you are an Android fan, you most likely hear a lot about Samsung. They sell a vast amount of phones, hell a vast amount of everything. When the Galaxy S 3 dropped, it was easy to get caught up in the reviews, critiques, and over coverage. What gets lost in that glut of media is the human side of device design. There is an army of people behind that phone. They spent vast amounts of time designing every aspect of it and Samsung has put together a video to show... Read The Rest →
Motorola Announces Via Twitter No Plans To Unlock Bootloaders On Older Devices!!
Motorola just announced the release of their bootloader unlocking tool with the Moto Photon Q being the first device on the unlock list. When news of this tool released alot of people with older Motorola devices I am sure were hoping the tool would be coming down the pipes to them. As a Verizon SGS3 owner who just got a hold of Sammy’s bootloader unlock tool, it is always exciting news. However I am going to have to take the wind out of some of your sails tonight. 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 →
Will The Samsung Galaxy S III Android 4.1 Jellybean Update Be Arriving August 29th??
I briefly touched on this last night but the rumor has persisted so let’s revisit it. It looks like Android’s latest and greatest JellyBean may be arriving on the Galaxy S III later this month. On August 29th Samsung has a big announcement planned that should be the unveiling of the Galaxy Note 2. However, if you own a GSIII this may not be the big news coming out that day.

Starting with the Kindle Fire on Amazon the 7″ tablet scene has become very hot! The Fire was a huge seller for Amazon and Google was swift to show them how it was done with the Nexus 7 tablet. Now it looks like it is Samsung’s turn to get in the game. This is not Sammy’s first 7″ tablet but it is bringing some nice specs to the table. The tablet which I am just going to call the 7 from here on out will be releasing on Verizon’s 4g... Read The Rest →
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 →
