LG has today announced that its new G Pad 8.3 tablet is now on sale in the U.S., priced at $349.99. The device looks a little like a large LG G2, and it features an 8.3-inch 1920×1200 display with 273 pixels-per-inch, a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, 16GB of internal storage, and a 5-megapixel camera.

LinkedIn — the social network for professionals — had just released its 2013 list of Most InDemand Employers. Surprise, surprise — Google and Apple are at the top of the list. But other tech companies are having a hard time keeping up.

The President of HTC America, Jason Mackenzie, has taken to Twitter yet again, this time to announced that the company has just received certification for the longly-awaited Android 4.3 update for T-Mobile carrier-branded One handsets in the U.S. The anticipated over-the-air (OTA) upgrade will be rolled out to all devices within the “next few days.”

Samsung has today begun rolling out its latest Android 4.3 software update to the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9505). Most of the changes and improvements in this release are under the hood, so users should notice an increase in speed and better performance, as well as improved stability.

While the Galaxy Note 3 has received rave reviews since it went on sale last month, it’s has its fair share of bad press, too.

First there was the region lock, which means the device must be activated with certain SIM cards in certain markets to function correctly — and then it became apparent that the device has a locked flash counter that makes using custom ROMs close to impossible without voiding the handset’s warranty.

Now users are reporting that the device is suffering from random restarts and boot loops, and no one knows what’s causing them.
