Arkon stand for Note 2

I remember someone was looking for a Note 2 portable stand. I just got this one for my Nexus 7, but it works great for Note 2 as well in both landscape and portrait modes. VERY sturdy design, and folds nicely into a compact stick. High quality construction, lightweight, and will work for any large phone and tablets from 7" to 10"+.

I was just getting stands for my kids tablets, and went to order more Arkons stands from my above review. Been using those for Note 2, Nexus 7, and noticed my wife using it for cook books. These holding up really well since March and took a lot of kids abuse. Its on amazon for $7.15, great deal I thought to share with you guys.

I can back this up. I have one of these and although it isn't the smallest, it's fantastic. very stable and adjustable for a wide range of sizes and positions. I have had it for over a year and travel daily with it. I'm not gentile but not abusive. It's well worth the money IMO.

Nift idea. Have one for my tablet but never thought about using it for my note ii.

Btw, as a warning. Make sure when you shop on Amazon you check who is the actual seller. It gets so confusing with different choices. Apparently there are counterfeit Arkon stands sold under the main listing from other suppliers (especially from sellers in China). Those come in a white box with some graphics on it. These knock offs are of a poor quality. The real Arkon product will come in a clear package. I didn't even realize that until start reading some of the comments on Amazon and contacted Arkon with a question. That's how I learned about knock offs

Moto 360 Gen 1 $99

I just saw this posted. I picked one up. I have been on the fence for a smart watch. This pushed me over!
https://store.google.com/product/moto_360

Me too

I just saw this on Phandroid. I'm on my way home to order one.

Just saw this on Droid Life. If you root the watch, what can you do with it? Is it an improvement?

Just picked one up as well to try out Android wear. Been using the Microsoft Band for about a year and want to try something different.

Picked one up too. Why not? For $100, I'd say win win.

some carriers (Verizon, AT&T) also has this price listed on their webpage now.

I bought a silver one and a steel monolink band for $135. I've been wanting one since they hit $150, but now its perfect.

After just one day of use I can't imagine not having the Moto 360 on my wrist.

After buying a couple of cheep clone u8's (I gave them to my brothers sons) I got a moto 360 and got it figured out. It is very cool. now just waiting on the glass screen protector to get in. Now I just have to find a used 360 on the cheep to mod and play with.

I have one for sale

I picked one up too, just got it yesterday. I am pretty impressed. I actually put it to good use today at work and ended a 12hr day with 32% battery left.
This isn't my first Smartwatch, but I think this one might end up being my favorite one.
SONY MBW-150 - very awesome with the OpenWatch application designed to run on Android 2.3. Sadly all MBW-150's were prone to a fading OLED display. I still have this watch and it works, but the display is so faint it can't be seen.
Sony LiveView -Biggest piece of junk ever. Never did work right... constantly lost connection.
Wimm One Great watch, I had high hopes for them, but Google bought them and they ceased all operation. Probably a lot of what the Wimm One was, ended up in Android Wear. The watch eventually bit the dust after about a year due to sweat eating away at the back.
And now I am onto the Moto 360. It's good to be back!

As an owner since last October, I'd say it's definitely worth it

Darn...out of stock.

I wish I would have seen this... I am debating right now between the Asus Zenwatch 2 and the Moto 360 1st Gen as they are both $150.00. I really like the Champagne / Brown Leather one on Motorola.com right now.
Anywhere else have them on sale for $100? If I can get one for $100 that would definitely make up my mind for me. I like the Zenwatch 2 better when the display is off, but those damn bezels are making it hard on me to decide.

I picked on up on black friday from best buy to test it out; the battery didn't last 5 hours not sure why. I do love the way that it looks on my wrist...absolutely beautiful. Best buy price was $145

Just got this one for 79.00 shipped . I have the sport i just needed a dressier one.

Before the official release, some netizens exposed some info about iFive Pro 2. In terms of the leaked photos, its design use liquid metal frame and fashion leather shell and there is fingerprint at the bottom of the front design with double speakers, USB Type C port, volume button on the top right.
As for configuration, it reveals that it is possibly powered by RK3288 processor Cortex A17 Quad core processor, considering iFive always uses Rockchip chipset. Besides, iFive Pro 2 will use 9.7inch 2K screen with RAM 4GB ROM 32GB, And we have no idea about its dual camera until now.
We also care about the price, some websites said the selling price of iFive Pro 2 will be a little higher. We can guess it will sell at 200usd to 300usd. After all iFive brand has been known for its excellent design and quality and it has good reputation among consumers. Under the condition of the fierce competition in electronics, tablet pc has become the one that many manufacturers attach importance to and compete, too. This time, Ifive has come back, we must be very looking forward to it. Let’s see on May 15. We will report more tomorrow.

Right now i don't know about battery, i guess tomorrow i will share with you about it.

RK3288 at this point? Wouldn't they use RK3368 or, possibly, 3399?
Looking forward to hearing from this tablet, I have an iFive X2 and I love it after all this time!
Enviado desde mi HUAWEI G7-L01 mediante Tapatalk

It's the RK3288 indeed.
Here's the product site: http://www.ifive.com.cn/product/pc/3-1-25.html
Not sure if the keyboard comes with the tab or it's a separate purchase. The battery is a respectable 7.800 mAh.

seems not cheap. I can buy other tablets with much more cheaper price and with same specifications. Such as 'dragon touch'.

I'm not sure you're getting fingerprint sensors or long battery backups with those. FNF tends to have very good designs with attention to detail unmatched by the rest of Chinese contenders (I've gone through many Teclasts, Cubes and Ondas and the one I keep is my iFive X2, close to three years old but rocking hard still). Their main issue is the crappy EMMC storage they are keen to use, which may not be a problem anymore.

Seems Honor smartphone has become the favorite Christmas & New Year’s gift choice in India.
Is Honor really taking a leap in the smartphone performance? What do you guys think?
Because I’m planning to get a new Honor phone myself.

Its already ahead as you can see, people are just skeptical since there is no development and everybody is waiting for oreo.
apart from that the phone has got good potential and the quality is impeccable for that price point.

Considering this phone IF it arrives on amazon US as i have a credit there. A big IF.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this device. I am not the kind who likes to spend a kidney on a new phone. $200 is right in the sweet spot for me. I have the Honor 7X (also in the US), you can ask me anything you wish about it. I bought straight from Honor because it was just a shy more than $200 with the Honor discount. Just wait though; I bet it will show up on Amazon.

hve tmobile, read my sim card will slide right in.

I agree that it's looking like Amazon will sell the 7x everywhere but the US. I'm wondering what promises Huawei made to AT&T to get it to carry the Mate 10 Pro. Unfortunately, I don't think carrier support will help Huawei enter the US market this late in the game. They lost their opportunity by dragging their feet; market penetration has slowed down sales. I'm not going to buy any brand of phone locked to a carrier. I'm a little leery of the battery life of the 7x as well as whether it really will get Oreo in the US; I will sit back and wait for some real life feedback from owners on performance and issues. I really think the Honor V10 looks better at half the price of the Huawei Mate 10, but I'm wondering if Huawei will only sell it in the US via AT&T.

Well, considering how well built this phone and its price, no wonder it's the best seller

How the Honor 8X Got its Ultra Slim Chin #ad

On September 5th, Honor announced the Honor 8X in an event held in China. One of the highlighted features of the new mid-range phone was the 91% screen-to-body ratio. This gives the phone minimal bezels and an impressively small chin at the bottom of the phone. The Honor CEO talked a little bit about what technology they used to achieve this result.
The 8X with its 6.5’ IPS display feels the same as a 5.5’ display when you hold it. Comparing with competitors, the Honor 8X wins out obviously with its 4.25mm chin, which is due to the flagship COF technology

-George Zhao (Honor CEO)
We got to hear a little bit about COF and how that allows the phone to have a much smaller chin. COF stands for “Chip on Film” and replaces the traditional COG (Chip on Glass) method. Compared to COG technology, COF reduces the bottom border of the device by 1-2mm. This technology does make the manufacturing process more difficult, which is why you don’t see it on many phones.

This graphic shows how the COF can wrap the FPC chip around to the back of the display. This removes the chip from where it would normally sit, which is right at the chin of the phone. This is why Honor can have such a slim frame on the upcoming 8X.
COF technology is not new, rather it’s usually found only in flagship devices. Honor implements COF into the Honor 8X which is a budget phone. The phone will be sold for around $200 once it’s available in the US.
Honor has been dominating the budget category of the smartphone industry. The previous Honor 7X model was the most popular unlocked phone on Amazon throughout the holidays.
We look forward to getting our hands on the Honor 8X and seeing all the different ways this phone is bringing flagship features to a super affordable device.
