Why I Sold My Nexus 7

Many of you have heard by now that I sold my Google Nexus 7. This video is an explanation as to why. I'd still be happy to answer any questions you have so leave them in the comments below before Sept. 25th to be included in the future Q&A video!



The Nexus 7's form factor was fantastic. Android Jelly Bean was surprisingly responsive and incredibly customizable. For an Android user, the Nexus 7 at $199 is an amazing tablet. For an Apple user, it will be hard to transition into the world of Droid. Especially if you already have an iPhone. Would I recommend the Nexus 7? Yes. Did I need one? No.

A special thanks to all 1800+ of you for your continued support through 100 videos! I look forward to the future! You guys ROCK!

YouTube app removed from iOS 6 but not iOS 5 and older; Google working on a standalone version

Apple just got in touch with us regarding the removal of the YouTube app in the latest beta of iOS 6, and while it wouldn't say much, it did confirm the obvious: it's not there for a reason.

The licensing deal it had with Google "has ended, but users can still use YouTube via the Safari web app." The company did affirm, however, that Google "is working" on another version -- presumably a standalone app that'll have to survive the same App Store approval process as Google Drive, Gmail for iOS and the rest of the bunch.

Interestingly, we were told that the YouTube app "would remain on iOS 5 and older," and that includes iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Granted, the amount of iOS 5 users will dip dramatically in the months following iOS 6's release this fall, but it leaves open the question of compatibility -- will the forthcoming YouTube app for iOS 6 be installable on iOS 5 and older?

All things considered, it's probably a good thing for consumers. Yes, it's another play by Apple to distance itself from its biggest mobile OS rival (Maps, anyone?), but it also gives Google the chance to reimagine the YouTube app, and perhaps even design it to showcase a great mobile experience around the company's huge original content push. Apple wouldn't comment on the status of Google's new YouTube app, nor would it speak to whether or not it had even been submitted for approval, but we're guessing the clock watchers know that September 12th is drawing near.

Review: SwitchEasy TRIM Case for iPhone 4/4S

Today we are going to be taking a look at a very interesting case, called Trim, made by SwitchEasy for the iPhone 4/4S. Before the review starts, I would like to give a huge thanks to SwitchEasy for sending me this fantastic case out for review.

 

First of all, I was really impressed with the content of the box. Except the case itself, SwitchEasy provides the customer with two anti-static screen protectors, two universal dock adapter, an amazing video stand, two headphone jack protectors, two connector protectors, a microfiber cleaning cloth, a squeegee and user's manual.

SwitchEasy this time, combined protection and beauty. This case makes your iPhone look even more beautiful with its amazing color and also it is absolutely protective.

Installation process was very easy. All you have to do is slide the phone from the top to the bottom. Make sure to cover all the edges. Uninstalling is a bit difficult, but that's good because there are no chances the case to take off the iPhone while dropping or on daily usage.

Now let's take a look at the case itself. On the top the case has a cover for the lock button and you can install also the headphone jack protector in order no dust to come in it and generally protect it. 

On the left hand side the case has a large cutout for the profile switcher button, and it covers the two volume buttons.

The whole right side is protected and it also has SwitchEasy's logo.

The case also has two big cutouts for the microphone and speaker and the customer can also install the USB import protector, for fully protection.

Taking a look at the back you can clearly see that it is transparent in order the beautiful back of the iPhone to be visible. It also has a large and deep cut-out for the camera and flash. Also the back is made by a very hard material which is very protecting.

The case also has "lay on the table" design which means that if you leave your iPhone facing the ground the screen won't have any contact with it. For more protection I really do recommend you to install one of the screen protectors that you are provided with the case.

Now let's take a look at the benefits and cons of the case itself.

Benefits: It provides the user with fully protection, the case feels very nice in the hand, it does give a very beautiful look to the device and it gives you full access to all the buttons and imports. Also it comes in several colors such as black, red, orange, yellow, purple. The one I am using is the blue version.

Cons: The only con with that case is that sometimes it drops the Wi-Fi and 3G signal.

Overall I give this case a 9.8/10, because it gives the iPhone fully protection and an amazing new look. Up to now it's my favorite case.

HTC One S Camera vs. iPhone 4S

This is a little feature video in which I take a look at the camera system on the brand new HTC One S. The One S has an 8MP rear facing camera with a 28mm wide angle lens, and an LED flash. It also features a 'supposed' 720 front facing camera, but I could only get VGA quality out of it.

Also on board the camera system are a ton of filters, effects and real time modifications that can be added to your photos. Check them out in the video!
