Verizon has come out and confirmed an October 18 launch date for the Motrola DROID RAZR HD and RAZR MAX HD.

One of the most requested features of the Google+ apps has been support for Pages. Users have been dying for the ability to manage their Pages from within the mobile app. Thankfully, Google listened, and has finally pushed an update to the Android app to allow for Page support.

The SlingPlayer app for both Android and iOS has been discounted to $14.99 (50% off) after receiving a long-overdue update. SlingPlayer is one of the more expensive apps so grabbing it while it’s half-off is a must for anyone considering the purchase of a Slingbox. The SlingPlayer works in conjunction with a compatible Slingbox and smartphone or tablet, allowing users to watch live or recorded TV while on-the-go.
