If you are this kind of person, you can now rejoice because Jelly Bean is now coming to your unlocked Galaxy Nexus. Only a couple of days after the Samsung Galaxy Nexus sales resumed on the Google Play Store, Google pushed out this great Jelly Bean update to the masses. If you do own a Galaxy Nexus, keep your eyes open for a notification for the OTA (over the air) update. Those of you who own a Samsung Nexus S or a Motorola Xoom and still want your update, Google should get you that candied update pretty soon. If you happen to own the unlocked HSPA+ Samsung Galaxy Nexus and have received this update, tell us how it is for you in the comments. Need more information on Google's latest nexus update?

      It depends on your network. I'll give you some suggestions, if you are on AT&T you should get the either the HTC One X or the Samsung Galaxy S III (the One X is a smidgen faster than the S III but they are pretty much the same). If you are on Sprint, get the Samsung Galaxy S III. If you are on T-Mobile, get the Samsung Galaxy S III. If you are on Verizon, get the Samsung Galaxy S III. Overall, you can not go wrong with the Samsung Galaxy S III on any network, and if you're on AT&T it is your choice between the One X and the Galaxy S III. I prefer the One X personally, because it has a better design than the S III and is slightly faster. If you are on a network that I did not mention comment your network.

      It also depends on the network. T-Mobile uses a HSPA+ network that is slower than LTE and HSPA+ is considered faux g (not real 4G). Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint use real 4G, LTE. Sprint only has a couple of LTE towns up, but they have really slow WiMax 4G that is even slower than HSPA+. AT&T has LTE in more towns than Sprint but less than Verizon. AT&T also has a large amount of HSPA+ cities, but they are known for having bad coverage. Verizon has 300 LTE cities ans many extended LTE areas. Overall, Verizon has the most LTE coverage, Sprint was the first to have WiMax "4G", T-Mobile has many strong HSPA+ areas, and AT&T has many HSPA+ areas and some LTE areas.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

Moto G: Moto Grrrreat!

Before the Moto X was officially announced, people speculated that it might be offered at an incredibly low off-contract price. Some people even guessed that it would be $199 off - contract . This was sadly not true, but Motorola did say that they would eventually offer a device similar to the Moto X, but with a lower unlocked price. Motorola also said that the cheaper device would be geared towards more markets than the United States, like Brazil and other emerging markets. They have finally taken off the covers of the Moto G, and it is almost exactly as Motorola said it would be. It looks like a Moto X, but it has less expensive internals. Many other smartphone manufacturers have made cheaper versions of their flagship handsets, but they almost always turn out to be pieces of junk. Is the Moto G a worthwhile handset, even at its $179 off-contract price? Can you be happy with the Moto G as your primary device. Scroll onward to find out, but you can just look at the title if you wan...

Hands-On with the Motorola Droid Maxx and Droid Ultra

Even though the Moto X is going to be on every US carrier, Motorola still feels the need to have a line of Droid handsets on Verizon. Motorola’s Droid Razr HD, Maxx HD, and Razr M were relatively successful products, and they were actually really good.  The Maxx HD brought hours and hours of battery life, a speedy processor, and a decent HD display. The Razr M was a very nice smartphone in a small package, and was one of the best small Android phones you could buy at the time. This year, Verizon and Motorola unveiled the Motorola Droid Ultra, Maxx, and Motorola Droid Mini at a launch event a while back.  These products are now available for $200, $300, and $100 on contract respectively at Verizon, so we decided to try out the Ultra and Maxx handsets for ourselves. Can these Droids stand up to the likes of the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, and Motorola’s own Moto X? Are these the Droids you’re looking for? Scroll onwards to find out the answers to these questions and more ...
