It’s not often that we promote skins, but there is something about the quality, popularity, and seemingly overnight success of Toronto-based dbrand that makes us want to throw this post up and hope everyone reads it. Claiming to be the “boss of vinyl skins”, dbrand skins are available in leather, titanium or brushed aluminum feel [...]

dbrand skins, makers of the ever-popular 3M vinyl phone skins, just used their Facebook page to tease us of their forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S 3 skin iteration. No word on official release or price, but one could expect them to go on sale very soon. Have you picked one up yet? If so for what [...]

FreedomPop has been making a name for themselves lately in the most disruptive way possible: undercutting the carriers by offering 500MB of free 4G data without any agreements, fees, or gimmicks. Their service is great, works and has received plenty of attention because of it. The only REAL downside to their offering (other than being [...]

I’ve been able to spend some quality time with [...]

  Google’s Android Developers group has released the latest monthly distribution breakdown of Android OS. As a longtime BlackBerry user, I’m used to OS fragmentation, but Android seems to excel at it. While Android OS 4.0 showed a 5% gain in August (possibly fuelled by Samsung Galaxy SIII sales), it now sits at a mere [...]

The Verge is citing multiple sources in their claim that Amazon could possibly announce a smartphone alongside an updated Kindle Fire and new backlit Kindle e-reader at their event today in LA.

For the first time since its launch in October of 2011, the iPhone 4S is not the top selling U.S. smartphone. According to Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley, soft sales in the month of August has allowed the Samsung Galaxy SIII to take the pole position.
