Quite a few Nexus 7 owners found themselves the victims of early adopter syndrome after ASUS and Google announced they’d be dropping the price of the 16GB model to $199 and introducing a 32GB model for $249. As you can imagine, there were a lot of unhappy people. Personally, I don’t fret about it too much, considering my purchase came with $25 worth of Play credit. However, not everyone received this credit and ASUS realizes this. Although they don’t owe anyone anything, they have been kind enough to offer a ₤25 credit to their online store for European customers who happened to purchase their Nexus 7 prior to October 30th.

We simply love wallpapers. They’re one of the first changes we make to our Android devices and often represent our moods, interests, or wicked alter egos. They’re as unique as the individuals who use them and while some people pick one and stick with it, others change them more often than a teenager’s Facebook status. Each day we’re going to feature a free wallpaper for you to download and use on your Android device. Depending on your device, you may want to use your favorite photo editing software to resize the image for a better fit. Once that’s done, apply and enjoy. Your home screen can thank us later. Cheers!

After being bombarded with requests, Pinterest is finally going to allow users to create private boards. Pinterest is calling them “Secret Boards” and rolling them out in hopes that users will use them to create their holiday shopping lists. I’d call that wishful thinking, since we all know what those “Secret Boards” are really going to be used for.

If you’ve been thinking about picking up a Samsung phone on T-Mobile, you now have one more reason to hold off. Aside from Black Friday, it appears T-Mobile is preparing a two-day sale on Samsung devices that is set to begin November 16th. While details are scarce, you can see a few of the Samsung devices pictured in the flyer above. It looks like the Galaxy S III will be included, however, there’s no sign of the Note II (we’re keeping our fingers crossed).

I was looking to give Dr. Seuss a run for his money with that title. Anyways, the 4th installment of the Humble Bundle for Android has landed, and it’s chock full of indie game goodness. Not only do you get to pay-what-you-want, but it’s also a chance to show your support for devs, charity, or simply the Humble Bundle crew. All games included in the Humble Bundle are multi-platform, DRM-free, and independently developed games. There are currently five games listed along with a sixth “bonus” game for those who pay more than the average (which is $5.85 at the time of this post).
