| Flygrip: The one-handed accessory you never knew you needed [review] Posted: 18 May 2012 12:00 PM PDT
Have a big phone? A big tablet? Little hands? Slippery hands? Here's what it comes down to: if you can answer yes to any of these, then you need a Flygrip. What's a Flygrip, you ask? Here's a video to give you an idea. Basically, it's a small accessory that goes on the back of your device and uses your middle and ring finger as a stabilizer and your index finger as a counterweight, so you can use your device one-handed. With my Galaxy SII's massive screen, I was constantly having to do some major hand acrobatics to use my phone one-handed, if I could ever even do it at all. Enter the Flygrip. This device has not only made it so that I can use the device with one hand, but it allows me to simply keep a better grip on it, even when I'm using it with two hands. And one-handed swyping? This thing makes it a breeze. Need more? How about this: the Flygrip also gives you a built in kickstand. Simply take the back piece, insert it into the built-in slot, and you're watching movies hands free. The package comes with the Flygrip itself, padding for the finger slats for smaller hands, extra adhesive, an alcohol swab for cleaning, paperwork, and - I'll admit it - a REALLY cool box. If you struggle with using your device (phone or tablet) with one hand, then you need to check this out. Be sure to hit up their website here and get you one. They run about $30 each.

| ZTE Score M found to have security vulnerability Posted: 18 May 2012 09:22 AM PDT
Chinese manufacturer ZTE has confirmed the Android-based Score M (MetroPCS, ) handset is susceptible to a backdoor security hole. Once enabled, the bad guys could gain root access and add, remove or copy data from the smartphone. Apparently the process starts with a hardwired device password which can be easily found online. If there's an upside to the news it's that the ZTE Score M is not a top-selling handset.
The vulnerability was discovered by Dmitri Alperovitch of CrowdStrike and calls the flaw "highly unusual". As he sees it, either this was a simple mistake cause by poor development or that it could be that it's done for nefarious purposes. ZTE, alongside fellow Chinese manufacturer Huawei, have been tied to allegations of links to the government. Although each companies have denied said claims, this sort of vulnerability doesn't help the image. Other ZTE models such as the Skate are said to possibly contain the security flaw.

| Samsung has already taken 9 million preorders for Galaxy S III Posted: 18 May 2012 07:56 AM PDT
If you had any doubts that Samsung's next Galaxy smartphone was not all that anticipated then perhaps this bit of news might convince you otherwise. According to Reuters, Samsung has already taken 9 million preorders for the handset, spread across more than 100 wireless carriers. Samsung typically shoots out press releases touting numbers of sales figures for the Galaxy line of devices and expect nothing less for the Galaxy S III. We cannot wait for our U.S. versions and figure the sales will be off the chart once it arrives stateside. Although Samsung has not confirmed these figures we figure we'll get something more official come launch time.

| Pocket 4.1 debuts with page flipping, themes, and more Posted: 18 May 2012 07:36 AM PDT
Pocket, formerly Read it Later, has been updated to version 4.1 today and it incorporates a number of notable changes. First up is the ability to flip pages like a book or magazine, making it feel even more natural for reading longer articles. Next is expanded support for video playback, something that goes against the idea of "reading" something later. Maybe that's why it's called Pocket now, eh?
