After launching on iOS over a month ago, Spotify has finally brought its free radio service to Android. The service, which allows you to listen to unlimited Spotify-generated radio stations, is currently only available to U.S. users and includes ad breaks, just like you would experience on the desktop. If you’re not a fan of ads, you can always go premium, otherwise, you’ll just have to deal with them, as well as the many features of this free service:
The Nexus 7 has been out less than a month and we’re already getting a peek at all the sweet accessories scheduled to hit shelves sometime next month (hopefully). According to leaked slides acquired by Nordic Hardware, ASUS has a slew of official accessories planned, including a POGO dock, premium leather cover, and more.
What’s better than Amazon’s Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus for a penny deal? Best Buy’s Verizon Galaxy Nexus for free deal!

This next move is likely a direct result of the Samsung Galaxy S III and the tremendous success its been having. The HTC One X is a great device that just happens to be overshadowed by the Galaxy S III and it’s unfortunate, but that’s the way it goes. Dropping the price to $99 (on contract) is a brilliant move that will hopefully breath life back into consumer interest for the One X. I won’t lie, I myself, would choose the Galaxy S III over the One X and I think that’s what AT&T, HTC, and other carriers are noticing.
If you’ve had no luck finding the 16GB Nexus 7 at a local retailer, you’re luck is about to change. The 16GB Nexus 7 is back “in stock” on Google Play and this time we’re guessing Google is prepared to meet demand. I’d personally go with the 16GB model (and did) as my experience with the 8GB version of the Galaxy Tab 2 didn’t bode too well. The 16GB version will cost you an additional $49, but at $249 for a quad-core, Jelly Bean toting tablet, you can’t go wrong.
