So China finally made a bluetooth slider keyboard case for the S3. Unfortunately it's a generic keyboard ala the cheap iphone versions without a number row, but it's a start. You can get them via AliExpress right here for $29 shipped. Shipping takes forever, but it's cheap and worth a shot. It...

I couldn't resist $150 for the 32gb Touchpad. Actually bought a few figuring I could resell the extras to offset the $150 for the one I kept. I must say, I forgot how much I enjoyed the UI of webOS. It is home on the tablet, and the hardware isn't too shabby. Missing a lot of the connectivity I...

sprint's business side has been quite lackluster since my rep left, and he's gone to t-mobile. So of course I get the hard press from him as of late, and he'll save us $500/mo over our current sprint bill. Not exactly chump change. Playing with some T-mobile demos and so far coverage and speed...

Saw it on Amazon while poking around the other day. Two viewing angles. Real leather with a nice pebble grain so it seems. Am sure it'll be found for less than $30 when the time comes. And I'm sure the camera cutout won't be off either.

This is My Next reports from Computex telling us we'll be seeing our 3.1 update next week. To make it even better, Hot Hardware loaded up their Transformer with it and gave us a nice little review. Smoother, faster, less lag, better browsing experience and the typical 3.1 stuff people saw in the...

I have this nice widescreen tablet, yet the hc launcher limits me to a 4:3 screen when placing widgets and apps.don't need 1/2" margins to flip through screens. So I went to dl launcherpro and can't seem to find it in the app store, just the + key. I'm assuming it's not compatible with hc yet...

Apparently there have been a few bricks with the OTA update reported over at XDA. Might want to hold off on it for a bit. God forbid you brick it and have to RMA it. Who knows how long it'll take to get back, especially when the techs on the phone seem to be clueless. "Hit F9 at startup". "Try...

So I picked up this Duracell battery charger a bit ago, and it turns out the USB charging cable is a perfect fit for the Archos 70. So I was charging in the car with their included USB cable. Have no clue where you'd find that specific cable on its own, but that little spare battery pack...

My Archos 70 should be here in a few days. I was looking to see what BT keyboards are out there, and I saw this usb keyboard/case combo for $26 that could be worth a shot. I don't care about BT or losing the USB. Just seems convinient and still slimmer than those 9" netbooks out there. I only...

So Mugen comes out with an "extended" battery for the Epic. What's the mAh? A whopping 1600mAh for a difference of 100. And people on ebay are bidding over $34 for it when you can get a spare charger and two oem batteries for under $10. That just makes zero sense.

If you don't mind a green case, you can pick up Seidio's Innocase Surface and Holster Combo for only $23.95 on ebay. Next best price is also on ebay at $32.95. Not too shabby. I'm picking it up for the holster and selling the case.

Well I'm not a case person when it comes to sliders as I think they're just too bulky. Seems like the clips on the newest generation of them really don't interfere with the slider mechanism from what I've seen. So I saw this ultra thin case on ebay (think those snap on ones for the evo like the...

I'd be all over it like a fat kid on cake. Feature set:

A little revamp. This is actually the official Sprint belt clip holster. Just found out from the ebay seller, and I just found it for $12.60 on Amazon instead of the $17 they're charging for it now on ebay or $20 from Sprint. This thing is perfect. Have zero desire to go for the Seidio one...

For those that saw a similar thread for my Evo, now that I've moved on to the Epic I loosened the thumbscrews, popped the Epic in and tightened. The Epic pushes the limits of the rails but is a nice tight fit. I gave it an extra squeeze before tightening so it takes the slightest effort to pull...
