There’s a viral video making its way around the internets and in case you haven’t seen it (you really need to), I figured I’d squeeze it in with my nightly posts here. The video shows an adorable little bearded dragon who has decided that bugs just taste better when on Android. Okay, so the tiny [...]

Pay no mind to my poor attempt at free-styling in the title there, the Pantech P9070 just made its way through the FCC today packing LTE frequencies only AT&T could love (700/1700).

Not too shabby, not too shabby [...]

This will bring the T-Bolt up to software version 2.11.605.9, which contains the usual bug fixes and even a new baseband version. Improved radios are always fun. Other notable [...]

This will be gone in about T-minus 2 hours so you’d better hurry.

If you haven’t heard, Facebook has introduced a new feature to their service called Timeline.
