MetroPCS added another low-cost Android smartphone to its offering – the LTE-enabled ZTE Avid 4G. Available for $149 plus taxes but sans any strings attached, the device packs a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, mentioned LTE connectivity, 4-inch WVGA screen, 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, VGA front-facing one, while Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is running the show. In other words, it’s a decent mid-ranger that definitely delivers the goods for 150 bucks.
But you’ll have to get some plan with data to take advantage of the Avid 4G’s built-in LTE radio. MetroPCS’ plans range from $40 to $70, and for a limited time you can sign-up for promotional plans, including 4G LTE for $30 and unlimited 4G LTE for $55.

Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
