I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.

  1. Where the hell is jelly bean for gnex?

  2. So, if i was to recommend a VZW 10″ tab to, say, a non-techie family member, would this or the OG Xoom LTE be better?

    1. Non-techie family member will probably not care that the OG Xoom’s are virtually “Nexus / GED” items running Jelly Bean… Tab would be fine for the “tech-lite” folks.

  3. Got the update this morning for Tab 10.1. Waiting for jellybean!
