We just can’t seem to escape the stereotype. Android users have commonly been seen as geeky pimple popping poor boys that don’t like to pay for anything — but is this true? Well, the crew over at Blue Stacks took it upon themselves to gather up as much information as they could through various sources such as Neilson and Facebook polls (Oh, I definitely believe these stats now). Whether or not you put any faith into these statistics, it is an interesting way to look at your average Android user. A quick look at this infograph has me breathing a sigh of relief, I’m happy to report that 78% of us have normal-sized heads (whew). What would you say are a few typical traits of an Android user? Take a look at the infograph to find out just how well you know your Android user stereotype.
Battery life on your Samsung Galaxy Nexus got you down? Well we have a deal for you. Verizon is currently offering standard Galaxy Nexus 1850mAH batteries with NFC for half off regular price. For a limited time only, you can grab that spare battery you know you’re going to need, for a mere $19.99. No one likes to get caught with their battery down, and it always seems like that “low battery” signal comes at the time you need your battery most. You can’t always get to a charger and having a spare can be a life saver. I already bought myself an extended battery, and use my standard battery as a spare.
Ever wish you could relive that Rolling Stone’s concert you barely remember? Maybe you’d like to enjoy an intimate concert for two in the comfort of your living room. Well now you can, thanks to a little app called Qello. Qello provides on-demand, high quality streamed HD concerts to a multitude of platforms. The app was previously available for Android tablets and phones, but has now made its way to your big screen via Google TV support. The Qello app for Google TV is now available in the Android Market and gives you all the benefits and features of the Qello service, streamed to your TV.
After a long day of 4G LTE outage, Verizon has finally broken its silence about the issue by informing us via Twitter that the issues are resolved. In classic nonchalant Verizon fashion, they go on to claim 3G was not affected (tell that to the thousands who could not connect). There was no apology or link on who to talk to about a possible credit, but did I really expect one — no.
Good ol’ Verizon, always passing the savings onto its customers. If you didn’t catch the sarcasm in that last statement, prepare yourselves for disappointment. Verizon apparently believes you should be charged a “convenience” fee for paying your bill. Yea, I know — what a convenience it is to shell out hundreds of dollars to a company that has three outages in one month. Okay, so the “convenience” fee really only applies to anyone trying to pay their bill online or over the phone with any method other than electronic check. You’re also safe from being charged a fee if you are enrolled in AutoPay.
