But do you really need the iPad 2 if you already have an iPad 1? I was able to get my hands on a 32 GB … [Read more...]

Otterbox Logo

Otterbox is well known for its protective cases for a lot of devices. One of the latest additions to the Defender Series is a Defender case for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I have used several Otterbox products before and I must admit when my device is protected by a Defender case I don't have to worry it gets damaged or suffers any influences from outside. The Otterbox does not make your device waterproof, although a small spill can easily be survived. It protects your device from scratches, dust, … [Read more...]

On your Windows Phone 7, the version went from 7.0.7004.0 to 7.0.7008.0. So this was just a minor update. While there were some problems with this minor … [Read more...]
