DropBox is breaking in new desktop and Android apps. They’re experimental, so expect bugs; but to thank you for helping them clean up their software, the DB team is giving away free storage.
For every 500MB you upload, they’ll match 500MB of additional space. By uploading photos and video, you stand to gain up to 5GB of additional storage for free.
It’s my favorite cloud/desktop file sync service, so I would highly recommend checking this out!
So this is crazy exciting, and honestly, something I never thought I’d see.
The Epic has proven to be difficult to create good custom ROM’s for. It’s the only member of the original Galaxy S family to have both WiMAX and a hardware keyboard.
Thankfully, intrepid coders working on the Cyanogen project have graced us with an incredible experimental Alpha build of Android 4.0. Check out the video! I especially like the part where my old Epic 4G beats a Galaxy Nexus in booting to the home screen…
For those of you interested in taking the plunge (and mind you this is still VERY experimental), you can find more info (and links to support the project) on the CM Epic 4G blog.
Since getting into Android gaming, I’ve become kind of a sucker for good tower defense games. Sure Plants Vs Zombies was the gateway drug, but then I chilled with Fieldrunners, then Grave Defense, then RoboDefense.
By the time I got my first Android tablet, I was hankering for something a little less cartoony.
So I’ve covered two practical money management apps for my first two reviews of 2012.
I think it’s time for a game, don’t you?
This one’s been around for a little while, but I just recently stumbled onto it, and it’s done a fairly decent job of killing my tablet’s battery life.
I spent most of CES hanging out with folks from Nokia Connects, and one of the activities we jumped on (literally) was a trek through Bootleg Canyon with BC Flightlines to do some zip line runs down a mountain.
As we’re a bunch of gadget bloggers, we had to turn it into a contest between man and machine…
Driving around SoCal, I’ve been noticing more signage and attention being brought to the issue of using cellphones while driving.
Distracting, dangerous, and something most of us tech savvy folks have been guilty of at one time or another. AT&T has been working at the local level to increase education, and has started touring a driving simulator, built around an actual car, to show young and old how dangerous even a momentary distraction can be while operating a vehicle.
Full Press release (with more educational and video links) after the jump. +Continue Reading
The small company finds are the ones that light me up the most. Sharing a booth through a distributor were two products that literally made me stop in my tracks on the show floor.
The SWIVI is a field monitor for SLR cameras. Fairly compact, the camera docks into the SWIVI, and provides a 5″ screen for video and still photography. A little extra space always helps when you’re trying to make sure what you’re shooting is in focus… +Continue Reading
Verizon is on a roll with high-end Android hardware, and it’s sticking yet another feather in its cap with the LG Spectrum. LTE data and a 4.5″ 720p IPS display? Yup this thing is a beast…

I spent a lot of time with Nokia folks this year at CES.
In a market where a lot of companies felt like they were treading water (or starting to drown), Nokia reps seemed genuinely excited about the future.
They should. I think they’re finally on the right track to become relevant in the United States again. I have very fond memories of using Nokia hardware. My first cell phone was a Nokia. My first camera phone was a Nokia. My first mobile internet device was a Nokia. However, just as I was getting into business computing, Nokia kinda disappeared on me. They remained a powerful force around the rest of the world, but they abandoned us Americans.
Microsoft has been in a similar position of late. I was a fan of Windows Mobile. It wasn’t a pretty OS, but it’s functionality was unmatched. Even today, there are things my WinMo 6 handset can do that I struggle to find solutions for on Android and iOS. However, updating it came with a lot of baggage–and Microsoft ultimately made the right decision in completely re-tooling the OS and starting from scratch, inspired by their critical success with the Metro UI on the Zune.
It’s big. It’s bold. It’s running Windows Phone 7 with a ridiculous 16MP camera and it’s fed data by AT&T’s LTE network. It’s a Titan all right…

I know very little about Fujitsu. I’ve never played with any of their devices. I don’t know anything about their history. They’re just not on my radar.
But when you’re walking the floor and see a fish tank full of tablets and smartphones, you stop for a second to take a look…. +Continue Reading
January is a typically quiet time of year for games releases, so thankfully it's given me the… »
