Who really thinks a new Apple TV could easily upend the competition? Not me
I get what Eli Becht is trying to say in his rumor roundup, but I've owned streaming devices from all the major players. In my opinion, Roku is by far the best choice, especially if you're watching your wallet. It's way cheaper than Apple TV, supports pretty much every streaming app you could want, and doesn't lock you into Apple's ecosystem. Plus, Roku's interface is super easy to navigate, and the voice remote is awesome, making it simple to find what you're looking for just by speaking. Even if you're an Apple user like me, Roku is still great for anyone who just wants to stream their favorite shows without all the extra fuss or expense. What are your thoughts on this -- could a new Apple TV really blow Roku or even Amazon and Google out of the water?
Amazon's Black Friday sale starts today. Which deals are on your wishlist?
Just like clockwork, another calendar year is nearing its close, which can only mean one thing: the annual Black Friday shopping event is once again upon us. For 2024, countless retailers -- both big box and e-commerce-based -- are slashing prices on all-things consumer technology. While Black Friday itself is set to take place on November 29, many storefronts have jumped the gun and are already offering early deals and promotions. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and others have fully transitioned into Black Friday mode, with tons of compelling sales now on offer. Amazon, the world's biggest e-commerce platform, is leading the charge. Across its storefront, you'll find discounts on smartphones, tablets, PCs, headphones, gaming peripherals, and much more. "Amazon customers can enjoy Black Friday Week deals from November 21 at 12:01 am PST through November 29 at 11:59 pm PST," according to the company's official website. Pocket-lint has devised several early Black Friday guides, each hig
Do Android software updates even matter anymore?
Earlier today, Google bucked a years-long trend in Android software development by announcing the availability of Android 16 Developer Preview 1. According to the company, this earlier-than-usual release is the result of a desire to "better align with the schedule of device launches across our ecosystem, so more devices can get the major release of Android sooner." This makes a ton of intuitive sense -- there's been a historical discrepancy between the stable release of any given Android Open Source Project (AOSP) build, and its associated variants later pushed out by hardware manufacturers. In the case of the most recent Android version on the market, Android 15, its AOSP edition was made generally available on September 3. Surprisingly, Google's Pixel 9 handset lineup launched in late August with the older Android 14 in tow, proving that even the maker of Android itself isn't immune to this issue at hand. While Pixel devices were among the first to receive the Android 15 over-the-a
