Android Mini Collectible unboxing video of the Big Box Edition, green figure. This item is perfect for all Android fanboys out there and it costs roughly $10 plus shipping. I was able to find a great deal though with free shipping so I saved a few bucks for this cool little item that’s now going to live on my desk.

Apple doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon when it comes to their lawsuit(s) against Samsung. The latest even, which occurred last week, saw Apple adding other Samsung devices to their list of products they want removed from the market. Some of these devices include the Samsung Galaxy S3, the Galaxy Note 2, and the Galaxy Tab.

Apple has been suing Samsung for what they are claiming is copyright infringement along with a slew of other wild claims. Now just last Thursday on Thanksgiving, a judge ordered Apple to hand over their patent agreements with HTC to Samsung for their attorneys to look into for their defense. In response to this, Apple threw a little tantrum by responding with a new list of items they want Samsung to take off the market. Basically, Apple wants Samsung to remove every notable mobile device, whether its a cell phone or tablet, from the market. Some of the new devices are the Galaxy S3, the Galaxy Note 2, and the Galaxy Tab.

Recently I got a job that I love to do, im a Repair Technician for some of our most advanced hand-held gadgets. From iPhone’s to Android devices, how these devices work is just amazing by all means. I found myself wondering what will things be like in the near future? Could we have an ‘Omni Tool’ type device from the ‘Mass Effect’ series? Or will cell phones become integrated with our clothing? Only time will tell.

When it comes to businesses, my plan is to advance ‘iVidify’ on YouTube. As well, I would like to develop a business regarding social networking and helping companies better develop their relationship with customers through technology.

Stick It - Mobile Phone Stand

I have to thank the great people over at Mobile Fun based in the United Kingdom for shipping this product out for review.

When you first look at the box you see some great packaging. Which honestly, many companies fail to do. But Mobile Fun knows exactly what they’re doing. For a product that’s roughly $20 USD they sure spent time making it very presentable and professional.

When you get into the box you find sleek stand. Made of aluminum with the same shiny-metal finish of a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, it looks great on any desk. The ‘Stick It’ stand allows you to place your phone on a stand without the worries of it falling off. I even tipped the stand upside down and shook it while my Android phone was attached. Needless to say, the stand never let go.

Now every product has to have a down-side right? It’s not all glory all the time. The one flaw with the ‘Stick It’ stand is that the slightly sticky adhesive used to keep your phone in place gathers up dust and hair rather quickly. It looks grosse and I found it virtually impossible to clean off the adhesive. Now even with it being dirty, the stand was still able to hold down my phone with no problems.

I really urge/recommend everyone to get their very own ‘Stick It’ stand.

Apple Ending Optical Drive: http://tinyurl.com/3du3bx9
The Mac Mini is the very first product that Apple has ripped the optical drive completely out of. Optical drive meaning the CD/DVD drive. Some agree and some disagree with this decision. With things starting to go more towards external hard-drives and USB flash drives. I can understand Apple wanting to make this decision. I still have use for the optical drive personally. But within a couple years im sure i’ll be completely done with CD/DVD drives all together.

Google+ is Slowly Dying: http://tinyurl.com/3ldnf5l
The brand-new social networking site, which recently hit 20 million users, is started to die off it seems. At least for now. Average amount of visits to the site is down 3% and each day the amount of time people spend on the site slowly decreases. Currently people spend 10% less-time on the site. Now these numbers aren’t huge but if this trend continues that should be an indication to Google to change something up. The site is still closed off to people without an invite so the best bet for Google is to open the site to the public. As well, I believe they should somehow advertise to get the word out.

Amazon Sales Skyrocket: http://tinyurl.com/3p6ecct
Over the quarter Amazon’s overall sales didn’t just rise. They rocketed past all the predictions for the previous quarter. Amazon reported a 51% gain in sales. I think people are beginning to accept technology much faster than we initially thought.

Mozilla Seabird Phone: http://tinyurl.com/43m968h
Mozilla, the creators of the very-popular web browser “Firefox,” are setting their sites on a new industry. Mozilla has a revolutionary design/concept for their very first phone titled “Seabird.” The phone would feature infrared keyboards and trackpads that would be displayed on the surface the phone is one. And would allow you use a full sized keyboard just by touching the surface. As well, a 960x480 resolution projector could be used to stream the phone onto a wall. The last amazing feature is the introduction of a bluetooth headset & 3D mouse located on the back of the phone. 3D mouse meaning you can use one finger to control the device without touching. Just click the link above for the stunning video.

Spotify: http://spotify.com
Spotify is a program/application many people have been looking forward too. And after sitting down with the app and using it on my MacBook Pro as well my Android phone, I can understand why. Spotify allows you to access your music from the cloud on your smartphone as a free member. But Premium members of Spotify get the added bonus of searching almost any song you could think of, and listening to it on your phone. As well, Premium gets you an ad free version of Spotify on your computer. Now free users are able to search for any song they like and listen to it on your computer which is a very nice feature.

When it comes down to recommending Spotify or not, it depends on your interests. If you want to pay for the service and receive millions upon millions of songs, then Spotify is the right app for you. But if your like me, and just want to listen to you own music library, I suggest Google Music. I have found Google Music to work faster over 3G connections when streaming my music. As well, the user interface feels more fluent and bug-free compared to Spotify.

Google+ 10 Million: http://tinyurl.com/64t77jy
The new social networking site is still within its beta stages being it has only been live for about a week.

Apple has always been known for its advanced technology. Well, theres proof they plan to protect that track record. According to a few patents the company as recently received. They plan to incorporate 3D gesture technology into future iPad’s and most likely future computers. The technology will allow you to control the device just by using simple finger gestures above the device. “Minority Report” anyone?

Netflix Price Hike: http://tinyurl.com/6xghc9d
It appears the video rental company is jacking up the price and people are not happy about it. Unlimited video streaming is still $7.99. Renting one DVD at a time is still $7.99 a month as well. But what did they change then? The ability to both rent and stream movies was jacked-up from $9.99 to $15.98. Why did they do this? No one knows.
