On The Cheap: $50 Off LG’s Smartwatch, The G Watch

Mordechai Osdoby — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:44:47 +0000

As I mentioned in my thoughts on the Apple Watch yesterday, I’m not sure that I personally have a need for a smartwatch. I certainly can’t justify spending $350 on the stunning Apple Watch or $250 on the equally snazzy Moto 360. But what if there was a device with much of the same functionality, […]

Review: The LG G2, A Gorgeous Phone With Few Drawbacks

Ari Baronofsky — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 22:44:35 +0000

The G2 is LG’s latest Android handset making the rounds of all of the major carriers. It sports a sleek, slim design; a wide, bright screen; and lightning-fast LTE connectivity. Let’s see if all of those adjectives add up to a worthwhile phone. First Impressions The packaging is minimal. This Verizon branded demo unit came […]

Google Grabs For Your Wrist – And Wallet – With Android Wear

Mordechai Osdoby — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 14:40:45 +0000

With wearable computing the current “next big thing”, it would have been silly to think Google was going to settle for Glass as the only entry in that market. The search and operating system juggernaut unveiled Android Wear yesterday, a partnership with assorted handset makers to create new wearable devices running Android. Partners include LG, […]

LG TVs Get Smart With WebOS

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 20:07:45 +0000

My love of webOS is no secret. For example, my TouchPad is my main tablet, despite being discontinued over two years ago. I recently attempted to use a Pre Plus as a daily driver and only gave it up because of battery issues. However, I am a rarity. LG believed in webOS too, which is […]

Tune In To The Alleged First Video Of LG’s WebOS TV Interface

Mordechai Osdoby — Thu, 24 Oct 2013 19:25:01 +0000

Yes, this is about webOS, the little operating system that couldn’t. The mobile world has moved on, but that hasn’t completely shelved the OS. LG first announced the intention of putting webOS on smart TVs almost exactly a year ago. While LG would go on to acquire webOS, there’s been little movement beyond that initial […]

Review: LG’s Mach Gives Sprint 4G QWERTY Choice

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 20:30:06 +0000

I was recently impressed by LG’s Optimus G handset and was equally looking forward to the LG Mach. Currently one of the only two 4G phones on Sprint with a keyboard, the Mach has the potential to make a real dent in the physical input-only market. But do expectations match up with reality? First Impressions The LG Mach […]

LG Thinks WebOS Is Ready For Prime Time

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:45:26 +0000

In a move no one suspected, LG has reportedly acquired webOS. Made official this morning, LG plans to leverage the promising-but-shelved operating system as the basis for new smartTVs. There was talk of LG licensing webOS for that purpose back in October 2012, but it appears it was simpler to buy it outright. I had a chance […]

On The Cheap: Google’s Latest And Greatest For Next to Nothing

Mordechai Osdoby — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 20:23:25 +0000

Were you impressed by yesterday’s Optimus G review, but don’t feel like going on Sprint? Good news. For for a mere $50 (after MIR), you can find yourself with a brand new Nexus 4. That’s a great deal on what is arguably the best phone on T-Mobile’s network. In fact, even at $100 before the rebate, you’re getting a good […]

Review: LG’s Optimus G Hits The Spot

Mordechai Osdoby — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:38:03 +0000

When the topic of smartphones comes up, LG’s name is hardly the first on anyone’s lips. Despite having launched the popular Optimus a few years back (arguably the first smartphone to be the same on all networks), LG has been without a major hit. Recent phones, such as the LG Viper, have failed to catch the […]

On The Cheap: Cyber Monday Is Over, But Smartphone Savings Are Not

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 19:30:14 +0000

Yesterday was a fun day to be the writer of a column about cheap tech. I was so busy answering texts, Facebook messages, and tweets about what the best deals were that I wasn’t able to share them all here. Now that the dust has settled, I thought we could take a minute and see […]
