“Unlimited” is the Most Meaningless Word in Wireless

Kellen June 14, 2018 103

Today's early morning announcement from Verizon is one of the most hilariously absurd I've seen in some time because it perfectly encapsulates the situation the US wireless industry is currently in. And maybe it's been this way for a while, but the...

Kellen April 23, 2018 103

OnePlus announced today that the OnePlus 6 will be its first phone with a glass back. LG went this route recently with the V30. Apple just did it with the iPhone X, as did Huawei with the P20. HTC also turned to glass after the HTC 10 with its HTC U Ultra and...

Android Manufacturers Agree With Apple, the iPhone X is the Future

Kellen April 17, 2018 103

Covering Android since 2009 has allowed me to see all of the highs and lows of this platform. We were there during the early battles with Apple fans, the ones who considered Android nothing but a cheap knock-off of the product they had begun to cultishly,...
