LG’s Optimus G Pro is very much an answer to Samsung’s Galaxy Note II. Both offer large 5.5-inch displays, but LG uses IPS technology and its bezels are slightly thinner, which makes the phone’s display look bigger. We’re really impressed with what LG has with…

Golf is renowned as a sport where business deals happen. The folks at the GSMA apparently know this, because they actually built a putting green into the show floor at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We found this to be pretty funny, and it was…

I just love this little guy. The StickNFind is a cute quarter-shaped, bluetooth-equipped disc that attaches to just about anything, so you can track it on your iPhone or Android device. Now that’s forehead-slapping genius. The masses agreed — the venture nabbed close to a…
