Amazon Wireless is my favorite mobile online retailer, as they always seem to offer the best deals. They’re at it again, this time discounting the yet to be released HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint. Amazon Wireless has opened pre-orders for the device for $50 less than Sprint and it seems to be open to existing customers as well as new customers.

Turntable.fm has finally come to Android, allowing you to join in and battle your friends for virtual DJ supremacy. Turntable.fm allows you and your friends to take turns playing DJ to a virtual room of listeners. Listeners get to vote whether the song is awesome or lame and if it receives too many lame votes, it gets skipped. It’s a great way to discover new music and have fun as you chat with friends and listen to an eclectic mix of music.

I have some good news for Sprint customers looking to pick up the HTC EVO 4G LTE: looks like you’ll be able to easily unlock the bootloader with the Android SDK and instructions from HTCdev.com — unlike AT&T’s HTC One X. Why would anyone care about being able to unlock the bootloader? Well, it’s essentially the keys to the kingdom, allowing for full backups, modding, custom ROMs and just about any other hacking you can think of.

We simply love wallpapers. They’re one of the first changes we make to our Android devices and often represent our moods, interests, or wicked alter egos. They’re as unique as the individuals who use them and while some people pick one and stick with it, others change them more often than a teenager’s Facebook status. Each day we’re going to feature a free wallpaper for you to download and use on your Android device. Depending on your device, you may want to use your favorite photo editing software to resize the image for a better fit. Once that’s done, apply and enjoy. Your homescreen can thank us later. Cheers!
