Mother's Day is coming, and Motorola thinks you should give a Moto X Pure to the woman that raised you.To help out, Motorola is taking $100 off the device. That brings the base model down from an already reasonable $399.99 to a more compelling $299.99. The 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models are all on sale. All you have to do to fulfill your end of the deal is help the company make money by clicking the buy button.Motorola.com lets you customize your phone using MotoMaker. If you don't particularly care about changing colors and such, you can snag the device from the likes of Amazon and Best Buy (except Amazon is selling the phone for $50 off, not $100). B&H, though, is the place to go. There you will get $50 credit to spend at the store plus a bunch of other goodies, including a 64GB microSD card, a tripod, a mount, and a selfie stick.Links are available below.

I like managing local files. I like copying data over to flash drives and moving them around regardless of whether I have Internet access. I like knowing I can cram a stick of flash memory into my device and access files that wouldn't fit on internal storage.But I don't like cables. They take up excess space, and they look like a mess. As much as I enjoy transferring files, plugging one device into another using a cable still strikes me as tedious.A microUSB OTG flash drive is a nice workaround. With a microUSB port on one end and a traditional USB port on the other, you can move files around without dealing with tangles, and you can carry a backup around in your pocket.Right now you can get a Corsair OTG stick for .99, its lowest price on Amazon yet. As these three camels show us, this stick cost between $30 and $50 before now.This comes with 64GB of storage. There are smaller sizes to choose from at lower prices, but really, this is the one you want.Source: Amazon
