Paul Fang, Dec 22nd 2011 Discuss [3]

The word is in that Apple received more traffic online last month than Walmart or eBay. In fact, Apple is the sole retailer other than internet shopping sites Amazon and eBay to be in the top fifteen most visited websites in the United States in November, according to ComScore. The research company believes that pre-holiday shopping may have been what largely helped facilitate Apple's huge push past some of the largest online stores for internet-based visitors.

Samsung Galaxy Precedent Makes Off-Contract Android Ultra Cheap

Chris Burns, Aug 20th 2011 Discuss [29]

The folks at Samsung have revealed a device by the name of Galaxy Precedent, a device that would certainly have appeared to be a decent little phone on the top of the mid-range in 2010, but now certainly has the specs that work with its price at $150. But here's the thing: this isn't the price you'll be paying if you buy the phone connected to a two-year contract, it's the price you're paying OFF contract. That means that this is a good deal, for real. This device is the Samsung M828C, what's very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Prevail, and is available at places like Walmart and places where TracFone are sold. Read The Full Story

Earlier this week, we saw the Vizio tablet in video when NBA star Blake Griffin was hooked up by the Vizio man with a new home theater and a tablet to control the system. I like how the tablet can integrate with the Vizio home theater and work like a universal remote control. I also really liked the cool stereo speaker setup that Vizio used so you get stereo sound in portrait and landscape modes. Read The Full Story

Walmart Drops Price on iPhone 4 to $149 in Select Stores

Ammon Carpenter, Jun 7th 2011 Discuss [1]

The hard part will be finding one in the store. We were unable to confirm which stores will participate in the price drop or how many were still in stock. Walmart has sold out of the iPhone on-line at $199 in both Black and White. Verizon still has the iPhone 4 at $199 with new 2-year agreement. With the Holidays so far away, we can only guess that this move was based on the mounting rumors about the iPhone 5. Read The Full Story
