We're on the cusp of the 5G revolution, as big players like Qualcomm and Huawei would like us to believe. Not to be left out in the cold, Intel has sped up the timeline for the release of its 5G modem, which it calls the XMM 8160. According to the company, partners can expect to get their hands on the 8160 in the second half of next year.

- So it turns out that this deal is the opposite of good. According to Roku, the 2018 version of the Ultra will be on sale for half off, or $49.99, starting on November 22. Walmart is also getting in on this by offering the 2018 Ultra for $48.
The smart TV game has plenty of options, depending on your preference or brand loyalty. If you're a fan of Roku, then this deal might be of interest to you. Amazon has a certified refurbished Roku Ultra (2017) for just $64.99, a nice $35 off the $99.99 MSRP. Roku's 2017 Ultra supports 4K, HDR, and HD streaming. There are plenty of apps available, including the big ones like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and so on. The included remote can be programed to control your TV's power state and volume, and it also has the neat feature of supporting headphone plugin via the 3.5mm jack.
According to the Amazon listing, Roku has certified each refurbished unit to look and act like a brand new one. You get the original accessories, plus a 90-day warranty. If you're looking to add some smarts to your current TV, or bury the built-in system as far from your sight as possible, this is a good option to consider.
Another week has started and November is already almost half over. We have a lot of app sales to get through today, so I won't dilly-dally. Take a look at what's on offer today and I'll see you for Wednesday's list.
It's that time of year, folks. The holidays are nigh upon us, which means it's time for all those retailers to do their darndest to get you to give them money. This deal is on the Dell Inspiron Chromebook 14, a 2-in-1 ChromeOS laptop with stylus support. Best Buy is knocking $50 off the $599.99 MSRP.
Friday is here! Another week is coming to a close, so that means it's time for one more round of app sales. Today's list features some notable games (and even an app), including a few Asmodee titles and the recently-launched Teslagrad.
Wednesday is here, so let's take some time to look through some apps on sale. Today's list isn't all that great, but (as usual) you might find something that you like.
Another week has begun and November is already off to a solid start. Deals are beginning to pour in and they will continue to do (in ever increasing numbers) as the days go by. Today's list of app sales is reflective of this. As an added bonus, the scales have tipped toward the free side this time around — that doesn't happen too often. Anyway, take a look through what's on offer.
Welcome to November! The holiday season is already starting strong, for better or for worse. Today's list of app sales is noticeably smaller than previous entries, but I don't expect that become a pattern. If you're interested in an audio player on your phone or tablet, doubleTwist is on sale again today. Otherwise, the selection is kind of meh.
The OnePlus 6T just went on sale today, but its sibling is also getting an update to celebrate. OxygenOS 9.0.2 features several things we've seen in the last couple Open Betas (including the one from earlier this week), including Nightscape, the Assistant power button shortcut, the November security patch, and others.
Happy Halloween! October is basically over, meaning that the holiday season is about to kick into high gear. The app sales lists recently have reflected that and I don't think that's going to change any time soon. We have a lot on sale today, so get ready. And remember, notable items are in bold.
Just a day after launching its new flagship, OnePlus is already making good on its promises. Yesterday, the company announced that the new Nightscape feature to improve low-light and nighttime photography would come to the OnePlus 6 and here we are. Open Beta 6 adds just that, as well as several other things.

- Even with those band issues to keep in mind, the Note9 for $770 was a pretty solid deal. Still, if you were on the fence about picking one up, you might be pleased to learn that your delay could prove to have been surprisingly fortuitous, as the seller has now dropped the phone's price down to just 0.
If you've been eyeing a Galaxy Note9, then you might be interested in this deal. Over on eBay, you can pick up a 128GB dual-SIM Note9 (Exynos variant) for just $769.99, which is a good drop from the last time we saw this deal. Keep in mind that this is the international variant (SM-N960F/DS), so it won't necessarily be a stellar experience here in the U.S.
Nvidia continues to improve the Shield TV experience, now offering users another way to control their Android TV box. Assistant support has been around for a little while now, but Alexa is joining the party thanks to a new skill. Simply activate said skill, link your Nvidia account, and you can start controlling your Shield with your Echo or other Alexa devices.Alexa can control things like power, volume, media playback, and navigation. Simply ask her to turn on your Shield, head to settings, open Netflix, or pause that YouTube video. If you have an Echo device in your living room, you actually now have an easier method of getting around your Shield TV than Assistant built into the remote. For now, Nvidia says that this is limited to the US.
To get started, open the Alexa app, head over to Skills & Games, and search for "Shield TV." You'll see one pop up called "NVIDIA SHIELD TV" by Nvidia Corp. Activate it and it'll ask you to link your Nvidia account, and you're good to go from there. Here's a list of currently available commands, but more will be coming soon:
The final week of October is here. Today is OnePlus 6T day, so let the hype begin. Before we get there, though, let's take a look at some apps on sale today. There are a lot of games, some of them even notable, but otherwise, it's a fairly normal selection. Maybe you'll find something you like.
Welcome to Friday! October is almost over, Halloween is just a few days away, and we have a lot of app sales to get through today. I couldn't think of what exactly to call out specifically in the title without making it ten lines long, but we have some high-profile stuff in this list. There are games from Noodlecake, Nvidia Lightspeed Studios, Oddworld Inhabitants, and more. If you're looking for games, today's the day for you.
Hello, all, and welcome to Wednesday. I'm back again with some app sales to help you get through your week. Today's list features some games from Asmodee Digital, so if you're into that developer's work, be sure to jump on those deals. Otherwise, check out what's available today and I'll see you on Friday.
Welcome to the last full week of October. Halloween is just around the corner, meaning that those noisy decorations at Target and Walmart will soon be replaced with Christmas trees and such. Anyway, since it's Monday, we have some app sales to get through. Today's list features a couple of goodies, including the fantastic platformer Trine 2. The only caveat is that it's only compatible with the Nvidia Shield TV, so keep that in mind before purchasing.
