As you all know Verizon has announced the Droid DNA will be Free until May 21. Who knows this could be to rid stores of stock to clear the way for another device. Verizon has also mentioned that they will be making a HUGE announcement on May 22.

A new device with the model ID PNO73XX has just passed WIFI certification and is headed to Verizon. Apparently this device is the same device as the internal model ID M7_WLV. We know the “M7″ to be the HTC One! This is pretty convincing. It has been pretty well accepted that we would not see an HTC One on Verizon since HTC was not willing to allow the One to be bloated down with Verizon Garbage. Instead we were expecting to see an updated version of the Droid DNA. Maybe Verizon has seen the crazy success of the HTC One on other networks, and has come to their senses.

What do you guys think? Will we be seeing an HTC One on Verizon? If so are you buying it instead of the S4 or do you already have that phone preordered?

The best device hands down of 2012 in my eyes is now FREE! That’s right Verizon has announced that this behemoth Super phone will be free until may 21. This phone was released back in November, but it can still hang with the new kids on the block. It features the first 5″ 1080p screen to land stateside, a super ridiculous fast quad core processor. This phone is a complete steal for FREE! Head to the source link below and supply your email address to receive the special promotional offer!

If you happened to be at work yesterday then you probably missed out on the livestream of the Google I/O keynote! Apparently you missed plenty. Many had said that the Larry Page speech was super inspirational and very much worth watching. Google has published this event so you can watch it at your convenience.

This Am Google announced that Wallet is now available on the Sprint variants of the Galaxy S4, Note2, and HTC One. What in the heck is Verizon waiting for. I really wish they would just give up the whole Isis thing and just accept Google Wallet like the rest of the major carriers. What are your thoughts are you holding out hope that Big Red will one day come to their senses and prohibit the blocking off this great product on our device? Or are you ready for  Isis to be unleashed?

The new Google Hangouts video from Google features a split second clip that features the all new Nexus 7. Well at least that is what is perceived. There has been no word at all from Google as to whether or not the Nexus 7 will be updated. In fact the only hardware news that we have seen from Google I/O has been the Nexus experience Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. I had fully expected to see a new Nexus 7 and even a Nexus 10 at I/O. It seems like the smart thing to do since the first version was popular enough to keep the tablet out of stock at release. My only guess is that maybe Google did not have the updated tablets ready in time and they will be made available within the next few months. I really hope we don’t have to wait until the fall.

Until now Google has not had the ability to save achievements. Google Play game services is much like Apple’s Game Center it will allow you to store achievements cloud save, match making, and leaderboards. This also works across platforms so it can be implemented by developers on Android, IOS, and the internet. No more loosing a save point when switching phones or Roms!

The most exciting news coming out of Google I/O today has to be Google’s unveiling of the Stock Android Galaxy S4! This is huge in my opinion. This means that OEMs like Samsung are aware of the vocal few. We have been asking for skinless devices from these OEMs, and have been demanding unlocked bootloaders, and now Samsung delivers! If this were available on Verizon I would order one today since they are currently my carrier. For now I will keep my VZW S4 preorder. I kind of feel sorry for the folks who just shelled out big bucks for the TW variant of this same device on their carrier. I am sure some of them would have rather had this phone. I wonder if other OEMs are even considering this sort of option for their upcoming devices? If not we always have Cyanogen Mod!

You may have noticed around lunchtime today that your Google Talk went haywire! That is because today at Google I/O the new Hangouts was released! This will officially replace Talk. Hangouts allows you to finally share photos during chat sessions and includes new emojis. Video calls can now be held between up to 10 people at a time. This could kill skype in my opinion. You can watch public hangouts on air. The neatest part about Hangouts is that it works across platforms. You can get the app for IOS, Android and Chrome OS. This means that you could have a video chat between someone on an Ipad and someone on a Nexus10! This is great news for me as my wife has an Ipad and I have a Nexus Tablet! Is anyone else stoked about this?!

That awesome new unified messaging service by Google should be called Hangouts according to sources who alos claim that we will see it launched at Google I/O. This is pretty good news. The message service will be cross platform bringing Google message services to the iphone and other operating systems. It will also unify the plethora of Google services. No new information on the service itself has been released. I guess we will see if the product is worth the hype in a few days. I have a feeling it will be.

Google glass has been coined as “the future of mobile tech”. It has been talked about on all the tech shows and blogs. Many of you are probably just as curious as me about this device, and what it actually does. The video above gives some real life examples of just how Google Glass works. This has to be one of the best videos out there that shows exactly what you see on the screen, and how it will actually appear. It shows just exactly how this could really be used in our day to to day lives. The more I see the product in action the more I become a fan.

After seeing exactly how it works do you think this is something you could ever see yourself using on  a day to day basis?
