    iPhone Mini to be announced Summer 2013?

    I would imagine/hope that it would simply cause there to be higher quality low-end devices due to the additional competition

    Strange corporate email security warning after JB update

    Personal laptop? Do you use Web mail or a local client? If it's Web mail then you still have to input your password (unless it's saved *cringe*), whereas on the phone you don't once unlocked. That makes things much less secure. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

    Strange corporate email security warning after JB update

    Personally, I'd prefer that option kept. In this instance you have a personal phone adding their work email but there are likely work phones as well. One is bound to get lost or stolen and having the option to remotely wipe it is always nice As for IT not having set this policy, it has been...

    Strange corporate email security warning after JB update

    At my work, the network team has a similar, but less restrictive, exchange policy. JB did not change anything. This is coming from the exchange server. I will say that our Razr Maxx's were not popping this up while running ICS. I thought it was strange. Now with JB, customers are getting this...

    Lapdock 100 still $49 at DailySteals--worth it?

    The necessary mod is so easy that I'd suggest giving it a shot instead of buying the adapter. Also, I agree with the notion that the Atrix 4G lapdock is nicer than the 100. The build quality just seems to be much better and I've had less returned to me as not working than the 100s. The Atrix 4G...

    Lapdock 100 still $49 at DailySteals--worth it?

    I support lapdocks for my organization and can tell you that few, if any, liked the lapdock 100. Part of it was the aforementioned, misguided thought that because it looks like a laptop it is a laptop, but there are issues with the lapdocks themselves, most notably the power. I have probably had...

    Glados and Franco kernels...

    If you want cake, avoid Glados. It's a lie

    Galaxy s4 to have unbreakable glass!

    Honestly, if you're in the repair business, you have to see the writing on the wall at some point. Consumers don't like their devices breaking and needing repair, so less breakable devices should sell better. Assuming that to be the case, your scenario would be accurate, assuming that those...

    Galaxy s4 to have unbreakable glass!

    If the glass is proprietary, they could make up their loss in the repair market with supplying their glass to other manufacturers

    Samsung Nexus 10.1

    Personally, I don't see the point of a 10" tablet. I find my iPad to be just too large and preferring to just grab the laptop. My Nexus 7 is a perfect medium between phone and laptop though. It's small enough to fit in my pocket, yet large enough that I can read comfortably on it while at the gym

    non-removable battery. Are there advantages?

    MintyBoost Kit [v3.0] ID: 14 - $19.50 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits Instant Charger - For Micro USB Mobile Phones | Energizer I think it runs off of magnets, so there's no telling how it works. I've also seen them with lithium ion batteries instead of AA. Take...

    Finding Nexus 7 serial number

    The settings, box, and sticker are less than desirable measures to track this information. At my office, we recently purchased 4 of these tablets, which I have fallen in love with. If something happens to the screen, you can't access that info via settings. The sticker is bound to come off since...

    Problems with Microsoft Exchange email on Nexus 7

    I have my work's Exchange account set up and did so the same way you described and it's worked flawlessly. Does it work for you on any other devices?

    Constant Redraws & Flickering

    One of my customers is having the flickering issue as well. It's very subtle unless someone points it out to you. I've noticed that it occurs when interacting with the screen. Her phone is completely stock ICS

    Upgrade from gingerbread 2.3.4

    Firstly, the Droid 3 doesn't run iOS. Secondly, what are you wanting to upgrade to? Blur 5.7.906 is the "latest and greatest" Motorola-supported update around and runs 2.3.4. If you're referring to ICS, Motorola has stated that it will not being coming to the D3. There are some ROMs, and I've...
