    What is the best lockscreen notification app?

    One of the things I miss most about OS X is its use of visible notifications for mail, text, calls, appointments, etc. Have had the Note II and will be going to Note III on release day. Have been rather unsuccessful with trying to find the perfect Lockscreen app that neatly tells you...

    CoverBot case for Note III

    Was looking to see if the Samsung S-VIEW Case was available for preorder. In the midst of the search I came upon this... I kind of like this case because it has a locking strap that keeps the fold closed. I don't think the S-View cases have that. The only thing I am uncertain about...

    Galaxy Note II user (just preordered Note III) and Mac owner. Saw a link in someone's signature to a service called UBUNTO. It looked pretty good. Seemed like you could link your Android phone to your PC or Mac. However, when I tried to download the file, I couldn't find it, and then I...
