All those rumors of a 5-inch HTC device have finally come to fruition and boy did they produce one beast of a device. Introducing the HTC J Butterly: a 5-inch powerhouse featuring a 5-inch Super LCD 3 1080p Display (440ppi), 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM, LTE, NFC and an 8MP camera. That’s the good news. The bad? This device is for Japan only.
It’s no secret that Verizon hates stock Android. If you need proof, just look at their marketing. How many Verizon advertisements or commercials have you seen for the Galaxy Nexus? Exactly. Verizon doesn’t want its customers to be happy. Why would Verizon want its customers buying a device with a stock experience, quick updates and no bloatware? On the other hand, you’ll see an onslaught of advertisements, commercials, etc. for the DROID RAZR line — a device that has over 20 pre-installed bloatware applications (for your convenience of course).
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 home screen can thank us later. Cheers!
It looks like Verizon’s plan to offer carrier billing for Google Play Store purchases is finally coming to fruition. While the last thing I want to do to is add to my ridiculously high Verizon Wireless bill, there are some users out there that have been waiting for this convenience. Plus, some users (especially young ones) don’t have access to a credit card (although I believe Google Play gift cards to be a better option).
What do you guys think? Can we safely say a 32GB Nexus 7 will be arriving soon? This bad boy has popped up on so many inventory lists that I’m almost going to guarantee it… nay, I am going to guarantee it! The most recent sighting comes from a reader over at Android Police who sent in a screenshot of a Staple Advantage listing showing the 32GB Nexus 7 with an estimated arrival date as early as October 18!
