Our Josh Vergara took some well deserved time off late last year and he thought about trying something new. For the entire month of December, Josh used an iPhone. Oh my, I know what you're thinking. What was Josh thinking and how could he betray Android like that. No worries, Josh returned to work and to the Android ecosystem come CES, so nothing really changed, but he did come with some interesting conclusions out of the whole experience. Check the full story out right here.
We gave out some excellent prizes over the years, including some of the hottest smartphones of the moment. This Sunday Giveaway is a little different, because the manufacturer of the prize is less well known. That said, the Nuu Mobile X4 is definitely worthy of your attention, and we're giving away five of them right now. Good luck everybody!
