LG Optimus G Pro coming to America!

This phone is a monster! A 5.5 inch 1080p IPS display with the new 600 series Qualcomm snapdragon quad core processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB or internal storage expandable to up to another 32GB, 4G LTE, a 13 mega pixel rear camera and 2.1 mega pixel front camera, and a removable 3140mah battery. All I have to say is WOW. This is a beast of a phone and is scheduled to come to the U.S. market in Q2 this year so be ready to get your hands on this thing. I got my girl the LG Optimus G on Sprint which is probably the most beautiful looking phone I have ever seen but it runs ICS out of the box. The new Optimus G Pro will run Jellybean and has some nice software tweaks from LG. LG is really impressing me lately and seem to be making a comeback of late.

PowerGen external battery pack

I live in CT and after the last winter storm I started looking for a battery pack of some kind to charge all my smartphones and tablets next time I lose power. After searching numerous websites and looking into solar powered charges I came across this on Amazon. The PowerGen PGMPP1200 external battery pack with 3 USB ports and 3 amps output. It looks like it will do the trick next time the lights go out and I have no way to charge my phones to make emergency calls if need be. Once I get it I will write up a full review and unboxing video as well. If anyone has used this or other such products leave a comment and let me know what works best. Hit the link to check it out and order one for yourself! It never hurts to be prepared.

Google Now widgets for home screen and lock screen

Well it looks like Google Now has finally gotten the widgets everyone has been hoping for since it was first released. The update to Google search adds the ability to place Google Now widgets on the Android home screen as well as lock screen so hit the link and check out the full story and remember to update your Google Search in the Google Play Store. Google Now is by far my favorite feature of Jellybean and if your not using it or you use Siri on an Iphone instead you really don't know what you are missing. It is that good. So switch to Android all you Apple fanboys and fangals and all those Android lovers who don't have Jellybean go spend some of that hard earned cash and get a new phone this year with Google's latest and greatest release. You won't be disappointed and the money is well spent.
