[Deal Alert] LogMeIn Ignition Half Price ($14.99) For A Limited Time

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Applications, Deals, News

As part of a back-to-school promotion, remote access software LogMeIn Ignition has received a temporary 50% cut off its normally $30 price tag, making it a very affordable $15. LogMeIn Ignition allows you to access your Mac or PC from anywhere using your smartphone or tablet and remote control it just as if you were sitting in front of it, quickly and easily providing access to all of your files and programs.

Another great use for LogMeIn is remote tech support -- we all have those family members who will call with an issue, and it's so much easier to do it yourself than to explain what needs to be done to someone who probably has little idea what you're talking about in the first place.

[Deal Alert] HTC EVO 3D $99 With A New Two-Year Agreement From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, EVO 3D (Shooter), News

The EVO 3D is easily one of the hottest phones on Sprint right now, and with good reason. It's fast, functional, fluid, and brings a lot of incredible features to the table, like 3D and Sense 3.0. If you've been waiting for a good deal to come along before dumping your current carrier and switching to The Now Network, now is the time, as Amazon Wireless is letting this 3D shooter go for $99 with a new two-year agreement. The deal is not as sweet for current Sprintsters, though, as the price is nearly doubled for a contract renewal ($180), which will still save you a bit of change versus the retail front.

Want A Free Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1? Buy A Qualifying HDTV From Best Buy Starting August 21st

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

Best Buy will be offering a pretty incredible deal beginning this Sunday, August 21st -- buy a qualifying Samsung HDTV, and you'll score a free 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Of course, the big question is: what defines "qualifying" in the mind of Best Buy? In order to snag the free Tab 10.1, you must purchase a Samsung 46" LED 1080p Smart 3D HDTV, which will set you back around $1500. If 46" just isn't big enough, the deal is also applicable with a 55" Sammy HDTV, which costs a cool $2000.

While I don't expect anyone to run to Best Buy on Sunday to drop $1500-$2000 just to get a free Tab 10.1, this could be the push that some of you need to grab the HDTV you've been eyeballing for the past few months.

[Deal Alert] Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB For $430 With Free Shipping From eBay Daily Deals

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one of the finest Android tablets in existence right now. It's well supported, has a nice selection of accessories (both currently available and upcoming), and it feels great in the hand thanks to its ultra-thin profile. While most retailers are selling the 16GB variant for around $500, there is a deal on eBay's Daily Deals site featuring this tablet for $430 with free shipping, which is the lowest price that we've seen yet.

The Tab 10.1 shares the same guts as most other Honeycomb tablets, all wrapped up in a super-sleek shell:

10.1 Inch 1280x800 display
1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor
1GB RAM
3MP rear shooter and a 2MP front camera
16GB of built-in storage
Android 3.1 Honeycomb

If you're still not sold, you can take the Tab 10.1 for a virtual test drive and see what it's all about over at Sammy's Online Simulator.

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, Thrive / Regza / Antares / AT100

We've highlighted a few deals of the Toshiba Thrive before, but Amazon just slashed the price of all three versions - 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB - to the lowest yet.

Regardless of which variant you've been looking at, Amazon is definitely the way to go if you plan on buying any time soon -- the 8GB version is going for $370, 16GB's for $430, and the 32GB variant will set you back $500. Aside from the differences in storage, all three versions share the same innards:

10.1-inch IPS LCD display
1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 (AP20H) dual-core processor
1GB RAM
Weight: 1.7lbs
Thickness: 15mm
5MP rear camera, 2MP front
Full-size USB and HDMI-out ports, plus miniUSB port
SD card slot (with SDXC support)
Android 3.1 Honeycomb (via OTA update)

So, if the Toshiba Thrive and its gaggle of ports is the tablet for you, head over to Amazon and pick your poison.
