On my quest to find the perfect Nexus 7 case, a suggestion from a reader led me to a design company called Treegloo. It became apparent right away that this company cared immensely about their product. Each of their cases is handcrafted using only the best eco-friendly raw materials manufactured in the US. Couple that with a plethora of design options and you’ve got yourself a protective case to be proud of.

Amazon dropped a few bombs on us today with its new Kindle Fire HD line. Not only will they be following up with another 7-inch model, but they’ve added in a larger 8.9-inch model for good measure. The event ended not too long ago and I have to admit — I’m impressed. The specs and features were well enough to have me intrigued, but when they laid out the pricing, I was stoked. I may end up an Amazon convert, we’ll have to see.

Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S III has become their most successful smartphone, surpassing 20 million units sold in just 100 days. I can’t say I’m surprised, it’s an excellent device. Samsung did a brilliant job (minus TouchWiz) and makes it quite obvious as to why they are the leading manufacturer of Android devices.

The majority of Android devices out there are still stuck on Gingerbread — a version of Android released almost 2 years ago. We, of course, can’t blame Google for this, but the lack of updates by OEMs and carriers is downright disgusting.

Let me start by saying the details on this offer are very sketchy and all the information has yet to be posted. With that said, let’s see what Motorola is promising this time. Motorola is promising to bring Jelly Bean to all of its smartphones released for sale in 2011 or greater (U.S. sold smartphones only). If they fail to update your device to Jelly Bean, they will give you $100 back when you trade in your old Motorola smartphone and purchase a select new one.
