For two days only, today, December 2, through tomorrow, December 3, until 23:50 GMT, The Carphone Warehouse is offering the scaled-down version of Samsung’s former flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4 Mini, completely free of charge on two of O2’s 24-month contracts.

Google unveiled the revamped model of its flagship 7-inch tablet, the Nexus 7, back in June, and a month later the device was available to purchase from the Play Store for $229. However, tomorrow Staples will be offering the slate for the discounted price of $199 as part of its Cyber Monday deals.

What makes Google think users want canned messages? Google filed a patent application, published November 19, for algorithmically driven auto-reply.

As you might expect, the messages aren’t really “canned” in the way that an email vacation auto-reply might be. It’s actually quite Googlish.

Here’s what Google is up to, and why you might actually love this technology.

Tomorrow, people in the United States will be able to purchase HTC’s upscaled One variant, the One Max, on any of Verizon’s or Sprint’s 2-year contracts for $149.99 — that’s $100 off the usual price. This promotion is another in a long line of Cyber Monday celebrations and, obviously, is only available online and not in the retailers bricks-and-mortar stores.

AT&T has officially announced that it will be offering Motorola’s flagship smartphone of 2013, the Moto X, completely free of charge on any of its 2-year contracts to celebrate Cyber Monday. This promotion will be available tomorrow, Monday, December 2, at 00:01 PST.
