Late last year, Sony started selling its first Google Play edition device — the Sony Z Ultra on the U.S Play Store. The device was similar to the regular Xperia Z Ultra that was sold by Sony in rest of the world, except for the fact that it ran bone stock Android.

Sony does not sell most of its devices in the United States so the Google Play edition Z Ultra is a great way of getting your hands on one of Sony’s flagship devices from last year. Today, Sony is making this deal even more tempting by giving the device a substantial price cut of $200. 

Just a month after the HTC One (M8) went on sale in the United States on all the major carriers, HTC and Sprint have teamed up to release a Harman Kardon edition One (M8).

This special-edition One is similar to the regular M8, except that it comes with a unique black anodized aluminum finish with champagne highlights and uses two special technologies from Harman Kardon to deliver better audio quality. 

The new HTC One (M8) went on sale immediately after its announcement in the United States. Initial reports suggest that the handset is selling very well and it is looks like HTC might have finally hit the jackpot. Just like its predecessor, rooting the new HTC One (M8) is a pretty straightforward process if you know your way around ADB and Fastboot.

Before you start with the rooting guide below, keep in mind that the steps below will work with all the variants of the One (M8) that come with an unlockable bootloader. This means that owners of certain carrier branded US variants (hint: Verizon) of One are out of luck and need to look for other ways of gaining root access on their handset. 

Live in the United States and are eagerly waiting to get your hands on the Xperia Z2 on a two-year contract? Well, here is some bad news for you. Sony has confirmed to Engadget that it does not plan on bringing the Xperia Z2 and the Xperia Z1 Compact to the United States “in the near future.”

Wirelessly transferring files to your Android device is a pretty easy affair, if you know the right apps. However, if you own a Mac, you can make your Android device show up as a Bonjour server in Finder, which allows you to wirelessly transfer files without the hassle of using any web browser or installing any app on your PC.
