With just one day until a possible announcement, Sony’s Xperia Z1S is seeing what could be its final leak. As you can see at the top left, the device is a miniature version of their flagship Xperia Z1. But here’s the catch, the specs aren’t going to be dumbed down even though the form factor is smaller. Behind the 4.3-inch 720p screen is the Snapdragon 800 processor and a 20.7MP camera. If you’re interested, it may even windup on U.S. shores.

I hope you spent this past weekend getting your creative side ready for a workout, because Motorola just announced that the Moto Maker customization tool is now available to all four major US carriers. After launching exclusively with the AT&T-flavored Moto X back at the end of August, Moto Maker is now opened up to customers on Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon as of today. Moto Maker gives consumers the ability to alter the Moto X’s back and front colors as well as the hue of its camera ring and volume buttons. Users can also include either 16GB or 32GB of built-in storage, select a default wallpaper and add a unique boot screen message.
In addition to the expanded availability of Moto Maker, Motorola has slashed the price of the Moto X to $99.99 with a two-year contract for the 16GB model or $149.99 for the more capacious 32GB variant. Consumers who prefer to avoid signing a commitment can expect to pony up $499.99 or $549.99, depending on how much built-in storage they’d like.
The Moto X news doesn’t stop there! Motorola says that it plans to update the Moto X to Android 4.4 KitKat “soon,” which is a piece of news that ought to please both current Moto X owners as well as those thinking about pulling the trigger now that Moto Maker includes all four major US carriers. Taking into consideration the impending update as well as the expanded availability of Moto Maker and the aforementioned price cut, it looks like now might be as good a time as any to snag Motorola’s flagship handset. Do any of you plan on reaching for your wallet as soon as you’re done reading this post?

With NVIDIA funneling all of their streaming technology under one brand, Mad Catz has wanted to get their hands on GameStream. Now there is very good news regarding GameStream’s presence on Mad Catz’s MOJO. In an interview with Engadget, a PR director from the company said that “we’re talking to NVIDIA and we hope to enable GameStream soon after the launch of the console.” Currently, GameStream is only available on NVIDIA’s SHIELD handheld console. When MOJO gets GameStream support, it would be the first third party device to do so. It’s always a good sign when companies work with one another because it accomplishes a goal more efficiently; therefore, expect this to be done soon after MOJO’s December 10 launch.

The story is part Planet of the Apes and part Back to the Future, as you embark to retake the earth from sentient, humanoid bears that have enslaved all of humanity. You are savior of mankind and lumberjack Tim Burr, and after this strange rift in space time, you find you’ve been possessed by a massive, sentient, talking fist, which can take control of Tim’s central nervous system. Now it’s time to save the day, Streets of Rage and Final Fight style: With good, old fashioned, violence.
Well it doesn’t always follow the rumor, but this time it did. It was expected that today would be the day the Moto Maker would become available on Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. Well actually T-Mobile was rumored for last Friday, but we will let that slide. Motorola just announced that “The Gift of Choice” is officially available on all carriers. Previously it was only available on AT&T.
Motorola also announced that you can now choose a custom phrase for the back of your Moto X. This was something that was supposed to be implemented when the phone launched, but they weren’t happy with the quality. Apparently the fiber laser technology has been corrected. Last but not least, the price is $99 ($499 off contract) on all four carriers to celebrate. This price has already been available for most of the carriers, but Moto X is saying it will be for a limited time.
A new week has dawned, and that means the time for carefree fun is at an end. Or is it? There's always the fun of finding a new app or game on sale. We can even help with that.
For the Android faithful, the latest Nexus device is considered to be the gold standard for devices. The Nexus features the latest and greatest specs and an Android build straight from Google with none of the standard software bloat that typically accompanies OEM branded phones and tablets. But the appeal of a Nexus phone many times outshines what Google and its partner OEMs are able to deliver.
The recently released Nexus 5 is an impressive piece of hardware when you look at each individual component, but the device itself is understated, featuring a washed out display and a mediocre camera. The good news is that we’re not here to focus on the Nexus 5′s flaws – we want to know what the perfect Nexus phone would look like if its processor, storage, display, design, manufacturer, camera and price were all selected by the Android and Me community.
Check back over the next few weeks for new polls focusing on one specific feature of the perfect Nexus phone. Once we have all the data, we’ll pull it all together to give you a look at what an Android and Me spec’d Nexus phone would offer.
To kick things off, we simply want to know how you would score this year’s Nexus 5. So, get to clickin’.
