Quick Review and Contest: Andru Android Charger Takes the Charging Cake, Win 1 of 4 Now!

by: | posted 02.21.12 | Accessories, Contests, News

The Andru charger was introduced a couple of weeks back and has since taken the Android collectible world by storm. As the coolest charger you will ever find, Andru lights up while plugged in, has bendable arms, movable antennas, and is your ultimate desk companion.

If your first thought runs along the lines of “Oh, another cheap plastic accessory,” then think again. This charger is actually much higher in quality than I had imagined it would be. It is sturdy plastic and rubber, the green and white matching cord feel of the highest quality, and none of the moving parts feel as if they are on the verge of falling off. It’s a great little charger for the Android enthusiast in the building.

At $25 a pop, you may have a hard time justifying it especially with the half dozen other chargers you have lying around your house. Trust me though, as an Android fanboy, this is definitely worth it.

Jump past the break for photos and contest details. Yep, we’re giving 4 away.  

Verizon 4G LTE Sale: HTC Rezound and LG Spectrum Just $99 on Contract

by: | posted 02.21.12 | Deals, News

If a new smartphone is in your near future, you shouldn’t have any trouble finding a screaming good deal on one. Not only does Amazon drop prices the minute new phones are released, but even Verizon is doing their best to get in on the low-pricing scheme. Two examples are included in their latest “online” only 4G LTE sale. The LG Spectrum and HTC Rezound can be had for as little as $99.99 as long as you extend or add on a new 2-year contract. One phone has been out for a couple of months now, while the other is barely a month old. Both run 1.5GHz dual-core processors and have two of the most beautiful HD displays we have ever seen on a smartphone. If the RAZRs or Galaxy Nexus were never your cup of tea, these two might be worth a look.

Deal: Samsung 32GB Class 10 microSD Card for $33.77 (Update: Sold Out)

by: | posted 02.20.12 | Deals, News

Update:  And just like that, they are sold out.

Having ultra-fast removable storage in your Android device is a must (if you can). Aside from our beloved Galaxy Nexus who lacks the ability to use such a thing, I always upgraded my SD cards in other devices to at least class 8 cards. Transferring data, video, pictures, or music at these speeds is needed when your phone is your number 1 media source. Today’s deals over at JustDeals includes a Samsung 32GB class 10 microSD card with both card and USB adapters for under $40. Not a bad deal at all.
