If there was any doubt as to Verizon's intentions regarding the Motorola Droid family, a discount bringing the on-contract price of the one-year-old Maxx down to zero should clear up the air once and for all.

Of course, some of you may still be wondering if Moto and Big Red are indeed prepping just one single Droid Maxx/Ultra/Mini sequel. But since there's only been rumbling in the rumor mill…

New Moto X goes on sale at US Cellular: $100 with pacts, $480 outright

Proving sequels can be better than the original (as long as the original is crappy enough), Motorola recently came out with a vastly improved Moto X, and pulled off a pretty decent turnaround.

Custom-made iOS and Android ports, first and foremost, but also Tizen, proprietary operating systems cooked up by Sony or Pebble, and soon enough, webOS. Yes, the defunct Linux kernel-based, Palm-developed platform, which changed ownership a couple…

PSA: Amazon starts shipping New Kindle e-reader, Fire HD 6 and 7 tablets

Will the Galaxy Note 4 bend? Not according to Samsung

Drop tests, benchmarks, and now so-called bend tests. Many would consider these irrelevant, too subjective to count in real life or defiant to the millions of people around the world who can't afford to pay $100, let alone $1,000 for a phone.

But like it or not, two of the above three have become part of the customary, required assessments of any half-popular, fresh gadget, and the third is about to surpass them in relevance and fame even…

Lenovo kicks off Black Friday early with doorbusters on tablets and laptops

Someone must have toyed with the calendar apps on Lenovo gadgets, as the PC maker's headquarters just inaugurated the fall discount season. Sure, they're calling the deals "early" Black Friday doorbusters, so they're aware the actual BF 2014 event is a little ways down the road.
