Falcon Pro removed from Google Play Store - download the old version instead

Something unfortunate happened to the Falcon Pro Twitter account overnight. It seems users were being blocked from signing in on version 2.0.3, an update that was meant to “reset” the tokens for the app after the developer reached 100,000 tokens. It's not likely that all 100,000 tokens were actually used overnight, which is leading developer Joaquim Verges to believe Twitter is punishing him for the workaround he's been using to keep allowing new users to get tokens (which we understand is against the terms of service).

Just Mobile AluFrame iPhone 5 case review

I recently purchased a new iPhone 5 to use as my personal/work phone. I did a lot of research before I made the financial commitment to purchase that phone. One of the first things I did after deciding to buy my new phone was to research ways to protect it. There are a lot of choices on the market for phone protection, everything from a basic screen protector to a hard-core ruggedized waterproof case. The AluFrame iPhone 5 case from Just Mobile seems to fall into the basic protection category.

HTC Desire 200 priced at $167 (EUR 124) in Taiwan. HTC gets serious about low end smartphones too

We know HTC as primarily high-end and mid-range device maker. They have repeatedly stated the lack of interest in the cheapest smart device category, and since the not so successful Wildfire series, never really ventured into the sub $200 smartphones. But things are now changing. With HTC's confidence boosted by the success of One flagship, they are bringing the breakthrough design to every price and size tier this year. We already know about 5.9" T6 for the phablet aficionados, and 4.3" HTC One Mini to tackle the upper mid-tier size conscious consumer.

LG Optimus G Pro reaches 1 million sales in South Korea

The LG Optimus G Pro has reached the one million sales milestone in the company's home country of South Korea. It took the phablet about four months to achieve this number of shipments. The Optimus G Pro's first 500,000 sales in South Korea occurred over a period of just 40 days, as we told you back in April. The Optimus G Pro is LG's first handset to reach 1 million sold in such a short amount of time. The previous LG device to get to the 1 million mark fastest was the Optimus LTE, but it needed three more months to do so compared to the Optimus G Pro. So clearly, Koreans are more and more enamored with LG's smartphones of late.
