Samsung could get another boost next month, when a special, non carrier-bloated version of the Galaxy S 4 hits the Google Play Store.

Last year the entertainment and devices devision pulled in $4.24 billion in revenue. Microsoft said that there are now 66 million Xbox 360 consoles and 18 million Kinect sensors. Xbox LIVE has 40 million members globally.

With the success of Spotify, Pandora, and upstarts like Songza (really terrific) it's no surprise that the heavies are now looking to jump into the subscription fray. Apple is widely expected to offer a similar iTunes-based model next month.

The $1,500 option is active, while you drive. It can also give your Tesla S a bit of yellow school bus cool on demand.

According to BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins, BBM has 60 million monthly active users, and customers send and receive more than 10 billion messages each day.

Three auto experts from CR (as seen below in the video discussing the S) note that the team seemed to question every single aspect of what we've come to expect from a car; not merely the fact that it's battery powered.

Hopefully Facebook doesn't wreck Waze. I love Waze. It's one of a handful of app that brings me great joy everyday when I pop it open on my Nexus 4. Sounds ridiculous to say I know - that an app can tickle one's fancy.

T-Mobile sold approximately 500,000 iPhones. Though it's worth pointing out that this the iPhone was only available for part of the quarter.

Unlike Amazon, Google, and Apple, other manufacturers would appear not to have the same advantages when it comes to playing the low-cost hardware game.

I do like the visual presentation. Yahoo has smartly opted to go with large photos when possible. Most occupy almost the entire screen of my Nexus 4.
