Rumored HP Slatebook 10 X2 Rocks NVIDIA Tegra 4 and Android 4.2.2

HP’s attempts at the tablet market have been sad at best, but it looks like the company may attempt to right the wrong it’s done to the tablet market by making a device people may actually want to spend money on.

Said display’s resolution is currently unknown, but we’re hoping it will at least be squeezing in 1920 x 1080 pixels. The “book” part of … Read more

Samsung Galaxy S 4 S-View Flip Cover Review

While we mentioned the Samsung Galaxy S 4 S-View Flip cover briefly in our official review, we decided to give a few more in-depth thoughts of this interesting and helpful accessory. Samsung has certainly found a good reason for keeping the back of its devices removable with the line of flip covers offered up across the Galaxy S and Note line. Obviously, the best part of the S-View cover opposed to the regular flip covers is the small window that will show you relevant information without having to open it up. Calls can be … Read more
