Android tablet deals are a dime-a-dozen on the web these days, but today’s is pretty decent. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1″ is on sale through the good people over at Woot! for only $279.99. Unlike usual deals where the tablets have been refurbished by the OEMs and are now on sale, this is a brand new device that comes with an accessory bundle as well. 

Android is already known as the go-to OS if you want to customize your phone – custom backgrounds, keyboards and third-party lockscreens can all be added after you purchase the device from an OEM.

For anyone who was waiting anxiously for the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with LTE, which I’m not sure is a lot of people, AT&T has a new deal to make getting your hands on the device a little easier.

The phone choices available to be bundled are limited to the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, or Samsung  Galaxy Note II.

Skype Video Messaging is the latest add-on to the popular chatting application that allows you to capture a moment in time through video that can then be sent to someone for later viewing. 

We always talk about it, the final straw that would break our back. There’s always something that the big wireless carriers could do to make us leave and take our business elsewhere. Threats however are only words until you actually decide to take the initiative and switch, but where do you go outside of Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint? Pre-paid carriers have always sounded exciting to the people locked into lengthy and expensive contracts, but they don’t usually have the best reputation: sketchy service, throttling data speeds, the list goes on. Luckily for you, I’ve decided to brave the unknown and dove headfirst into the world of pre-paid carriers. Let’s talk about how it went.

There is something ultra addictive about amusement park games where you get to make the attractions to draw in the crowd. Throw in pre-historic dinosaurs and it makes the whole thing even more fun.

If you needed a reason to believe that people enjoy sending messages through systems other than SMS, take note of the milestone that WhatsApp hit today. The popular chatting and messaging system has been around on Android for a long time and has a huge user base.
