Android App Pick - Dumpster Recycle Bin

We have just posted up another Android App Pick of the Week and this week we are being very helpful with a great App that can save your bacon.  Often, mobile operating systems don't have a way (natively) to restore files that you've deleted.  That's where Dumpster Recycle Bin comes in.  It's a free App that has a lot of promise and a bright future - like when you recover a bunch of files that you've accidentally deleted.


Take a look and see how handy this App can be!

Samsung is Ready for 5G - Well, by 2020

If you've got a phone in the past few months, you probably are able to surf the web on an LTE network.  Current LTE is darn fast, but is getting slower as more and more people move to this network.  Another downside is the fact that LTE network are still pretty limited to large centers.  Samsung is already pushing forward to 5G where they expect speeds in the neighborhood of 1Gbps... 1000Mbps.  Yeah.  Wow.  They've already demonstrated the tech, but it's still a long way off.  By 2020 we should be rocking this new standard.

LTE might be all the rage right now, but next generation mobile technology is already in the works. According to Korea's Yonhap News Agency, Samsung has successfully tested its 5G platform, pulling down data at 1Gbps in recent tests. The company apparently needed 64 antenna elements to pull the trick off, but says the technology will be available to customers by 2020.

Rosewill @ CES 2013

Rosewill was at CES again this year in force.  They have a huge presence in the USA with Newegg.com.  In Canada, they have the same saturation with Newgg.ca, but in Canada Newegg doesn't have the same dominance.  After checking out the products that Rosewill is offering, I think that people should be a little more willing to give them a shot.  One of their products that they showed that will appeal to gamers.  They were in fact one of the first companies to market with a mechanical keyboard and this year, they've brough dual-LED illumination to their keyboards.  It doesn't have a robust software pack, and that's what I love about this idea.  It's all done is hardware and you can switch between the two colors and multiple modes for a personal experience.  They ne wHelios RK-9200 Dual LED keyboards come with Cherry MX Switches in Blue, Red, Brown and Black.

Rosewill has a new case called the Throne that is their new flagship case.  This case will MSRP at $179 they estimate and be available later in March.  It's a pretty number and is very large.  Rosewill also says they plan on pushing their networking brand a little harder this year.  They aren't jumping into the 802.11ac pool yet, but they have some mainstream and higher-end 802.11n Dual-Band routers that offer the typical 450Mbps speeds - and do so at a lower price.  Also in their networking repitoire are some powerline products.  They have both 200Mbps and 500Mbps products.  We will be looking at some of these in the near future - and are going to kick it off with the 500Mbps gear.

 

Rosewill does a ton of other products including HDMI cables, Infrared Thermometers, Security Cameras and a lot more.  For more images, please check out our CES 2013 Gallery here. We've divided it up into different days to make things easier!
