| No fooling, just some free stuff. Win prizes with just a comment! Posted: 01 Apr 2011 11:29 AM PDT Having spent a good portion of my childhood and now adult life connected to the internet, I’ve seen my fair share of April Fools’ pranks come and go. For a long time I participated in such jokes, but now years have passed since I actually possessed the proper energy and snark to pull of a solid April Fools’ prank. Luckily (well, depending on how you look at it), there are others who carry on the torch. That silly, nonsensical, do-we-even-need-this torch. So today, we’re just going to let you, the reader, provide the April Fools’ funny in the form of a comment linking to your favorite April Fools’ prank. I think my favorites this year have to be Gmail Motion and the Austin Chronicle’s report on the building of a large dome to contain SXSW. What was your favorite? You’ve got til the end of the day to leave a comment, at which point we’ll randomly draw three winners. What’s up for grabs, you ask? Well, that’s your choice. We’ve got a handful of awesome prizes sitting around and find it most fun to just let the winners choose. The winners can pick from the following items: An Angry Birds plush toy (pictured above) We’re picking the winners randomly, it has nothing to do with the comment voting. I only mention that because lots of times of these types of posts it seems like some people like to down vote every single comment, as if it gives them some sort of edge. It will not. All it does is hide decent comment that otherwise would be shared. And make sure you leave a proper email so we can contact you! Aside from that, have fun! Can’t wait to see all the links from the weird corners of the web I didn’t even know existed (especially local newspaper websites, bring those on!).

| DROID Charge and DROID Incredible 2 get priced (unofficially) Posted: 01 Apr 2011 08:39 AM PDT It's no secret that Verizon's getting things squared away for the launch of the Samsung DROID Charge and the HTC DROID Incredible 2. We know the specs and what both devices feel like and now we finally have unofficial pricing for both. According to a leaked document, Verizon will be selling the HTC DROID Incredible 2 for $199.99 while the Samsung DROID Charge will go for $299.99. The price of the HTC DROID Incredible 2 is certainly fair, but we're not exactly sure why Verizon thinks they would be able to charge roughly $300 for the Samsung DROID Charge. Yes, the DROID Charge is a 4G LTE handset, but the device's specifications line up pretty evenly with those of the HTC Thunderbolt which is currently selling for $250. Since these are leaked (unofficial) prices, we're hoping Verizon spends a little more thinking about the DROID Charge's price. Having a handset that supports the fastest 4G network is quite impressive, but I find it hard to believe that customers would be willing to pay a huge premium for data speed is the phone's other hardware doesn't have a step up on the competition.
