Anyone who owns a tablet has, at one time or another, thought about how they could make it their car infotainment system. There have been a million solutions from universal mounts to professional in-dash installations, and while we’ve seen many, this is the first Nexus 7 I’ve seen double as an infotainment system. It’s an absolutely dreamy combination, and one that will have 90% of you thinking about hacking up your dash (you might want to leave it to a professional).

Apparently Samsung could’t keep its excitement over the Galaxy Note 10.1 contained and felt the need to announce a global launch ahead of their August 15th event. It’s official, and just like the Samsung event invitation, they’re now referring to the Note 10.1 as the “new way.”

Every now and then, Google takes a second (or third) look at some of their projects to determine whether or not they’re worth the effort. Some projects are given the okay to continue, while others, well… they’re not so lucky. Google’s latest fatality is its much neglected podcast player, Google Listen.

A Samsung spokesman has already confirmed the Galaxy Note 2 (not an official name) unveiling on August 29th, but what about Samsung’s August 15th event in NYC? Well, there’s only a couple possibilities, but judging by the recent shipment that hit Negri Electronics, and the image on Samsung’s event invitation, I’d say it’s safe to say Samsung will be announcing the Galaxy Note 10.1.

Yes, that is a semi-sarcastic title. However, it’s still true. I’ve already professed my animosity towards exlusives like this, but it is what it is. The good news? Those rocking an Xperia device can download and play the popular console add-on Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies all by themselves for 30 days. After that, it’s open season on the undead.
