So you like the new Motorola Xoom 2 and/or Xoom 2 Media Edition, which we also know as Verizon’s DROID XYBOARD tablets. Before buying one, you’ve already started thinking about the look and feel of your tablet desktop. Perhaps these free wallpapers could help spice your imagination. I certainly love some of them and can…
Super-popular file manager for Android, ASTRO, has been updated yet again to allow users to customize their experience. In other words, this handy app now supports themes each of which brings differently colored icons. Personally I’m not a big fan of themes — more often than not I keep the default look and feel of…
A month ago we told you British retailer Phones4U is offering the unlocked Huawei Blaze for 79.99 GBP. Like that’s not good enough, they are further slashing the price to 59.95 GBP, making for an even better deal. You’ll still have to grab a 10 GBP top-up with the phone purchase, but that’s something you…

I generally don’t think of Target as the place to score major mobile deals but the company is running a promotion which could get you some nice phones on the cheap. From now until Dec. 17, you can get an iPhone 4S with 16 GB for $174.99. That instant $25 is a solid deal if…
Remember the Notion Ink Adam? We can’t say that we blame you if you don’t but once upon a time the Adam sounded like one of the most promising Android tablets that would ever launch. Those thoughts were promptly laid to rest after seeing the software and bricks that shortly followed its release. Still, those…
While we liked the Amazon Kindle Fire as a simple media tablet, some have been complaining that the device isn’t as responsive as it should be. Well, Amazon is promising a software update soon which should bring many improvements. According to a report in the New York Times, Amazon said the Kindle Fire update will…
Samsung is capping off a wildly-successful year by announcing that it has surpassed 300 million phone sales in 2011.
