BestBuy Is Selling The DROID Pro For $50. You Know What That Means.

That means that if you need a BlackBerry with Android 2.2 on it, then your Droid has arrived. Or if you’re just willing to shed less cash on this 1GHz OMAP 3620 processor, 3.1-inch multitouch screen, 8GB internal storage, 802.11n Wi-Fi/GPS/Bluetooth 2.1, and a 5MP camera smartphone, then now you’re doing business, with the usual two-year Verizon contract, of course.

iPhone 4 on sale from Radio Shack — for $50 less

Stefan Etienne — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 20:30:23 +0000

Is this a MemoDeal? Meh. Although it is a “deal”, it’s just $50 off the iPhone 4. Which isn’t that bad actually. The only excuses possible are a Verizon iPhone, the sale only being in retail stores, or a certain Nexus S. Otherwise, “It’s OK, Go” on this one if you want an iPhone by December 11th, when the sale ends. Via: Radio Shack

T-Mobile G2 Will Be Free On Cyber Monday, With A Contract Of Course

Stefan Etienne — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 04:40:58 +0000

Now is the time to look at Cyber Monday, when technology is the center of savings for the holiday season. So far, the first deal that crossed my inbox is the T-Mobile G2 for free on a 2-year contract with T-Mobile, online only. The Android 2.2 stock, 5 megapixel with 720p HD recording, 800MHz Snapdragon MSM 7230 generation chip in this superphone packs a better punch than most Snapdragons (which are clocked faster) and it has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Enough with the refreshers and the deals, this post ends — now.

My Favorite Laptop, The Alienware M11x, Is Now On Sale For $600

OMG!OMG!OMG!

The Alienware M11x, which as you might know, is Stefan’s favorite laptop (this post is being typed on it now). Ask any agent at Alienware headquarters and Dell, and they’ll tell you I love it god-knows-how-many-times, gave it “Stef’s Top Pick Award”, and pwns n00bs nightly in either Counter Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2, or Bad Company 2. Now, the Core 2 Duo version (that means no Optimus for you, like me, sadly) costs $599.

That’s right, for $600 bucks you can get one of the most highly-awarded laptops of the year, with 160GB of hard drive space and 2GB DDR3 RAM.

Of course, that config is nothing compared to the 4GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, Core i7, Optimus battery-conserving rig I’m typing this on. But it’s good nonetheless. Via: Dell Online Store

Windows Phone 7 Reaches 3,000 Apps And 15k Devs With More Inbound

Stefan Etienne — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 16:39:01 +0000

It’s time to see how far Windows Phone 7 has come since its November 8th launch, and that’s 3,000 apps and games, with 15,000 developers and counting. These numbers of course please the Windows Team Blog who announced the new milestone, but until we can get to review one of those bad guys, I’ll be staying very expecting of Windows Phone 7. And yes, I’m still waiting on my review unit from AT&T.

In the meantime for you Black Friday buyers/maniacs/bargain-hunters, you can buy any WP7 device and get another one free, providing that you sign 2 contracts, each worth the usual two years of agony.
