This will be the first time I’m putting up a gadget of mine for sale. It just so happens that my previous Compaq CQ60 is practically dead now and my Samsung NC215S isn’t powerful enough to handle the bulk of the tasks I’ve thrown it. Thus I’ve upgraded to the …

Aoson M33 Android Jellybean 4.1 Tablet Review

 
My first experience with the Aoson brand was with the M71GS which is probably the cheapest 3G enabled 7 inch Android ICS tablet I’ve across. Battery was okay considering I could watch movies for like 5hrs on it. The 3G and Wi-Fi experience was …

Unlike their legacy devices, it looks like BlackBerry Canada is having a hard time developing in house apps for Twitter and Facebook on the BlackBerry 10 platform and as such are relying on the android versions of these apps.

Gone are the days when smartphones cost an arm. With the influx of low-cost processors from the likes of MediaTek, the average joe can now afford a smartphone with a dual core processor, 1GB ram, HSDPA, large full touchscreen amongst many top features. Such is the success of MediaTek, that …

So I’ve had the 64GB Wi-Fi version of the BlackBerry PlayBook for almost 2 months now and I did have intentions of writing a review of it but unlike mobile phones, I was just not feeling inspired at all until now. Thanks to the guys at the Mobility Nigeria BBM …

I’m one of those folks that detest those unsolicited  promotional messages that our conniving telecom networks are fond of sending our way and thus 1 month and a few weeks later, I’m really glad I didn’t delete the MTN Goody Bag sms.

As a blogger-web business owner, jumping into bed with the wrong host could get you in troubled waters down the line and that’s why most folks prefer hosting with the top web hosts of the world. Unfortunately not everyone can afford the hosting fees depending on how much startup capital …

Before the default BlackBerry browser became so fab to use, quite a number of us relied on Opera Mini for our web surfing activities though we weren’t quite satisfied with it given that it cut off blackberry downloads around 4MB and it resulted in a waste of precious bandwidth when …

Two nights ago, after an exchange of tweets with some of my tweeps, I learnt that the Etisalat full BIS plan is now N1,500 down from N3,000. As in,  you get up to 10 Web based emails + Unlimited data through out the duration of your plan for just N1500.
