Quote: " Since the HTC One has come out I’ve got my hands on many, many cases for it and I’ve found not all are created equal. I think a lot of what you want in a case depends on your own personal preferences really. I like a case to protect my phone but I don’t want something that overly large that makes my phone look huge. I want a case that not only protects but allows access to everything the phone can do like it’s buttons and ports and cameras etc. Today for review I’ve got the Incipio Feather case for the HTC One and like it’s name suggests it’s a very lightweight case that doesn’t add any bulk or weight to your phone but at that same time it does offer a good amount of protection. The Feather case is the first of its type that I’ve come across that actually allows access to the sim card slot while your phone is in the case. This may not be important to many people but I sometimes get phones for review and not having to take the case off to switch sims is something that I can appreciate. So read on to learn more about a case that offers decent protection without adding a lot of bulk to the HTC One…."

OtterBox Commuter Series Glacier Case for HTC One Review

by  •

Yep another new review by me…

Link: http://mobilitydigest.com/mobility-digest-review-otterbox-commuter-series-case-for-htc-one/

Quote: “Today for review I have what I consider one of, if not, the best HTC One cases on the market today, the OtterBox Commuter series. This has become my favorite case and I’ve tested a lot of them. Yes I reviewed the Otterbox Defender series case for the HTC One little bit ago but while that’s a great case it’s just a little too bulky for my tastes. The Commuter series case on the other hand offers a similar level of protection but without all of the bulk. The Commuter series case is sleek and rather thin really so you don’t lose the svelte profile of the HTC One but yet it still protects it. This case includes covers for the microUSB and audio ports which I think is important as it keeps the dirt, dust and anything else out of them. The case comes in two parts, a soft silicone padded inner case and a hard outer shell and when combined offer excellent protection to absorb shocks and impacts and really protect the HTC One. Out of all the cases I have for the HTC One the OtterBox Commuter Series is the one that I always come back to. So read on…”

New review by me at TestFreaks!

 

Link: http://blog.testfreaks.com/review/review-of-idolian-mini-studio-8-android-tablet/

Quote:
"Today for review I have the Idolian Mini Studio which is an 8” Android tablet which runs Android 4.1 or Jelly Bean. The tablet is small and very lightweight, it’s only 4mm thick and it weighs in at 420 grams. Idolian actually touts the Mini Studio as being a competitor for the iPad Mini and it has my vote, but I like Android and I’ve never really cared for Apple products. The Mini Studio comes with front and rear cameras, it has 16gb of storage built-in and you can expand it with a microSD card if that’s not enough. The tablet has wi-fi, Bluetooth and an HDMI output and it’s power by a dual CPU that runs at 1.6Ghz and there’s 1gb of DDR3 ram. In my time with it I’ve come find out it’s powerful little tablet that can handle pretty much anything I’ve thrown at it including 1080p videos that play flawlessly. The battery life is excellent, with just slight use like checking email and getting app updates I got over two and half days on a single charge. So read on to learn more about a great little choice for an Android tablet… "

Veho Pebble Smartstick Emergency Charger Review

Yep, new review by me on TestFreaks…

"Don’t you hate it when the battery on your mobile device dies during the course of the day and you realized you either forgot your charger or don’t have anywhere to charge it? Today for review I’ve got the Veho Pebble Smartstick Emergency Charger which is just like it sounds, a portable battery essentially to charge your devices in an emergency. That’s not exactly true I think as it doesn’t really have to be an emergency to use it, you can use it anytime you need to top off the battery in your device. The Pebble is very small and portable and comes with a few different tips allowing you to charge most devices on the market today. The Pebble is something that personally I need as my kids love using my iPod Touch 4th Gen but it’s aging and the battery only lasts for a little over an hour, and that isn’t much really. The Pebble allows my kids to keep using the iPod for more than what the battery normally allows. So read one to learn more.."

I Want the Samsung Galaxy S4

by  • 

GS4_black_front_01-1

Wow, I want one of these so bad… my contract with AT&T expired way back in November and I was trying to wait for a deal on a new phone, the phone I wanted was the Nokia Lumia 920 but it was never in stock when I had the extra cash, or when it was in stock or on sale I didn’t have the money for it. Can’t win y’know, it’s just how it is. I’ve had two Windows Phones now and I like them, but I’ve decided to go back to Android. I used to have the original Samsung Galaxy S, the Captivate and I loved it, but I wanted to try something new so I got the HTC Surround and the HTC Titan, both of which are Windows Phones. After all this time I still just can’t get the same things and do the same things on Windows Phone that I can on Android, and I’m tired of waiting for more companies to support the platform. It’s sad as WinPho is decent, but it seems there just isn’t support from major companies with apps and stuff for it really. I get tons of press releases everyday and I rarely get any concerning Windows Phone. Sure I get tons for iOS and Android, but not much for WinPho sadly.

I’m glad I waited though as the new Samsung Galaxy S4 is just amazing, it’s the most powerful phone out there today and I’m sure it will remain at the top for sometime to come. The new Apple iPhone is due to come out shortly but unless Apple comes up with something amazing it won’t beat the S4. Apple is known for just little updates to their phones and it’s usually years between major updates so since the last one was a major update you can bet the next one won’t be.

So I want one now, too bad there’s no official announcement as to when it will be available on A&T, just sign up to be notified. I wonder what the chances are of getting one early for review and keeping it are? I want this phone!

After the break I’ve included the official Samsung press release on the S4 if you’re interested…
