Android App Deal: Electrum Drum Machine/Sampler

It's not that often that I find myself using a drum machine, but sometimes I can't pass up a good deal. Today, a normally $4 app is on sale for $1. It's a neat app to mess around with. It doesn't beat mixing on my computer with professional audio workstation hardware/software, but this is professional for being on a mobile device! For $1, I'd recommend you try it out and make some of your own beats - it's a lot of fun.

I know I said it's a dollar, but it's really 99 cents. Here's a picture of my receipt. More importantly, though, here's a link to the Play store where it's (as of this post) still 99 cents. Get it before it goes back up to $4!

Review of the Looxcie Handsfree Video Cam

I took the Looxcie 2 for a test drive for a couple of weeks; It is available on Verizon's website as of this writing. Is it more convenient to just pull out your phone and record video than having a device mounted on your head? That was the question I had before I decided whether or not this would be a great device to purchase. Read on to see my conclusion.

Madness in the Comment Section...of an Android App

Today there was an update for the Samsung Push Service app in the Google Play Store. Because I can safely say that many people probably think of this as a useless app, I think it is definitely worth it for you to take a moment and go read the comments on this newly-updated app.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 4G LTE Tablet on Verizon

Just when I thought things couldn't get any "beastly-ER" than the Verizon Galaxy Note II that I recently reviewed, I was lucky enough to trial the brand-spankin' new Note 10.1. A couple of weeks back, Verizon sent me this device to let me see if liked or disliked it - Indeed, they were nice enough to send this low-traffic site the hottest, newest device on the market. Read on to see if it's worth the price tag.

Review to Come: Verizon's 4G LTE Galaxy Note 10.1" Tablet (VIDEO)

Oh, how beautiful this lovely device is. It's so nice to power on a tablet, being greeted with constant connectivity. What I mean is that, upon booting up this tablet, I'm not having to connect to wifi to bring this thing to life: Whether you plan on using it in a home or business environment, it's ready to rock. And that's where I'm at on my first day using this tablet.

Over the next few days, I'll put the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 to use and draw some conclusions. In the meantime, prepare to send me your questions. Thanks for Getting Android!

TuneIn Radio for Android - Kickin' Ass All Day Long

I love this app. The updates just keep TuneIn Radio for Android in place as one of my favorite all-time apps.

I remember when it was so easy to record the radio during my childhood: pop a tape in and record a song to bring to band practice - or to play "DJ" and make my own mix tapes. TuneIn radio allows you to listen to over 70,000 radio stations and record any of them. Put all that aside though, because TuneIn has already been doing all the above for a long time. Today they've added more:

As you can see in the "What's New" screenshot I took from Google Play, TuneIn Radio Pro now supports sign-in from Google+. You can also add events to your Google Calendar! What this means is that you can setup an alert of your choosing to remind you when your favorite radio program is about to begin. Lastly, if you drive a Chevy vehicle that has MyLink, you can "access TuneIn directly from your dashboard".

If you're thinking about getting a radio app, whether it's internet radio, or for listening to your local radio's online feed, I highly recommend TuneIn Pro! Get it in the Google Play Store now.

The Galaxy Note II on Verizon

I really enjoyed my two weeks trying out the Galaxy Note II on Verizon. Really, it doesn't feel much bigger to me than the Samsung Galaxy SIII. Also, I know that Samsung is normally great at paying attention to detail, so read on to see how well they did with the Note II.
