If there's one thing that I have learned from the evaluation of different Android devices, like the Kindle Fire HD and the Google Nexus, it's that the Android 4.x OS is a technical, pleasantly geeky, often beautiful OS that will appeal to many differe...
I liked this Samsung Galaxy Note II. I could live with it. It's not as big as I thought it would be. But it dwarfs the iPhone 4S and 5. It's a geek toy with lots of features and functions, and that will appeal to some, not others. I personally enjoyed...
