It looks like our friends to the north will now have the ability to pick up the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 at any participating retailer. Samsung launched their larger Note model here in the U.S. last month and despite its tremendous productivity potential, it’s been met with mixed reviews. It carries numerous software bells and whistles, specifically to cater to the S Pen, but some of the hardware isn’t what you’d expect from a $500 device.

Check any of the recent iPhone 5 vs Android comparison charts and you’re sure to find the HTC One X listed alongside the best of them. It’s a solid device which would have experienced better sales if it hadn’t been for the Samsung Galaxy S III. It didn’t take long for AT&T to drop the price to an attractive $99, unfortunately the mobile tech world moves at lightspeed, leaving the HTC One X in the dust.

I almost feel guilty complaining about being the last Galaxy Nexus to see Jelly Bean… almost. It’s great that we’re finally getting it, but a little ridiculous considering Verizon was the first U.S. carrier to launch it. If you’ve been patient and remained on stock all this time, you’ll soon be rewarded with Jelly Bean as the SW Version JRO03O support page is now live on Verizon.

If you haven’t already checked out my handy dandy Android Buyer’s Guide For iPhone 5 Lovers, I recommend you do. Then, if you find yourself in the market for an Android device that’s everything an iPhone 5 isn’t, you can head over to Wirefly to check out their own iPhone 5 vs Android comparison chart.

Last month iLuv ran a Back-to-School special on their new lineup of Samsung Galaxy S III cases. Being the curious bloke that I am, I just had to check them out. iLuv was kind enough to provide me with a variety of cases to review and review them I did. I’ll give you a look at some of the pros and cons of each case and then you can decide if any are right for you.

Now who’s ready to see some cases?
