RadioShack clearing out T-Mobile for Verizon, pick up a free phone before the switch

Last month RadioShack penned a deal with Verizon to start selling Big Red’s phones on September 15th 2011. They also announced that they will no longer carry T-Mobile devices after September 14th.  Now, with September coming around the corner, RadioShack needs their T-Mobile stock gone ASAP.  They have decided to deal with that issue in a spectacular way. Starting August 12th every single phone is absolutely free, with a two year commitment.  Don’t bother rushing to the RadioShack website, however. This deal is only good in stores. No word on when the sale might end, though considering the circumstances, it is probably safe to assume the special will last until stock is depleted.

Ever wanted to do something to show off just how much cooler your Android phone is than their __(Insert non-Android device here)__? Yea… of course you have! Today’s app, while probably not all that useful, does just that.

Prox Lite allows you to control your phone, using only the proximity sensor (hence the name). According to the application thread over at XDA, forum member and developer extraordinaire SemperGumbee states:

Prox makes use of the phone’s proximity sensor and accelerometer to initiate an action. Prox Lite has 4 actions:

*Flat – Emulate home button
*Toward – Expand and contract notification panel
*Left – Launch phone dialer
*Right – Launch browser (google.com)

All you have to do is turn on the service through the app and then tilt the phone in the direction you are trying to activate the action for and then pass your hand over the proximity sensor and it will activate the action for that direction.

You can amaze your friends, and feel like a Jedi. Imagine the look on your friend’s faces when you do things without even touching the phone itself.

So what are you waiting for? Head over to the application thread here, and let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Today’s Free Amazon App: Farkle Dice Deluxe

tagged , , , ,

Farkle is a very popular dice game that started at the table and has made its way around to Facebook and mobile devices. Different sets of dice are worth different amounts of points. You have ten sets of rolls to accumulate the best score, and you take turns against a computer opponent. As with every version of the game, the trick comes in balancing when to turn a die in for points, and when to roll it again to better your chances of getting a set in your next roll.

Farkle Dice Deluxe has been in the Android market for a while wearing a modest price tag of .99, but is available for free today at Amazon.  This is the ad-free version as well, and it’s worth a download for anyone who is even passingly interested in dice games.
