TiVo Streaming Comes to Android
As a TiVo fan and an Android user, it has been an ongoing source of sadness that two of my besties couldn’t play well together. Well, all that has changed! The newest (bigger, better) TiVo Android app now allows you to stream your content to Android devices with a non-Intel chipset and running Android 4.1 or better. Most of you with newer Android phones/tablets will be just fine to stream to your heart’s content.
When Android Isn’t Just Android
So you know that I’m a member of the Verizon Wireless #VZWBuzz team and, as such, I regular get to try out new offerings from the Verizon Wireless store, including new phones. I was using a Motorola Droid Mini for quite some time and was starting to take my favorite features for granted when the HTC One Remix arrived. They are both Android phones so you might think the transition between them would be an easy one. You would be wrong.
When GMail and Google Services Won’t Sync on Your Android Phone–How To
As someone who works almost entirely online, I rely heavily on my phone (currently a Motorola Droid Mini) to stay connected throughout the day. Since I am an Android user, you can imagine my surprise when my phone suddenly stopped syncing with GMail and other Google services. My GMail app kept telling me it was trying to connect.

Introducing… the HTC Droid DNA, My Replacement Computer
Droid DNA
I have recently been invited into the Verizon Insider program which gives me a chance to check out new mobile technology so I can share my thoughts, tips, and tricks with you. The first arrival is the Droid DNA from HTC. I have been wishing for a Droid DNA since I first saw it at CES. I have a bad habit of falling for things at CES! In any case, my wishes came true and I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now. I was going to tell you all about the amazing camera, but I’m in the middle of a tech crisis at home: my laptop is dying. Not only that, but the wacky weather has been causing people to lose power. The good news is that it inspired me to mention just a few of the ways the Droid DNA can help you out if you find yourself in a similar crisis or without electricity.
Why I Didn’t Choose an iPhone
I’ve got a new phone in my life… my Droid Razr Maxx arrived last week and I’m pretty much in love. I’m saving that review for another day, though. Today I wanted to answer a question I’ve heard more than once. Why didn’t you choose an iPhone? If you’re trying to choose a phone, I’ve got a few reasons to consider choosing an Android based phone, or a Windows 7 phone, over the iPhone (iOS).
Leader International Impression 10 Tablet–A Budget-Friendly Choice
There is no doubt that tablets are hot right now. Unfortunately, they’re also pretty expensive. But if you’re willing to forego a brand name and be flexible about features, you can get a good deal on a tablet that will meet most, if not all of your needs. We’ve been checking out the Leader International Impression 10 Tablet and it’s a great example of a tablet that can be perfect for a family with a price tag that’s a little more friendly.
New Sam’s Club App Makes Shopping Easy
While some people enjoy the “excitement” of heading to the mall for holiday shopping, there are those of us who like a more laid-back approach. I, for one, do almost all of my shopping online. It allows me to compare prices, access items I wouldn’t otherwise find, and save on gas. When Sam’s Club invited
