Amazon Coins: New Virtual Currency for Kindle Fire
Maybe I’m just old, but I’ve never been one to understand virtual currency. Why anyone would trade real currency for virtual currency is beyond me, however, it’s an economy that has been thriving and therefore becoming more popular. Amazon is jumping on the virtual currency train with the introduction of Amazon Coins.
Amazon Coins will only be available to U.S. customers and can be used to purchase apps, games, and in-app items on the Kindle Fire. It’s possible the program will expand in the future but for now, that’s about the extent of it.
Starting in May, Amazon will begin kickstarting the economy by handing out tens of millions of dollars worth of Coins to customers. To prepare for this influx of virtual currency, Amazon is asking developers to make sure their new apps and app updates are submitted and approved by April 25th.
Developers have nothing to worry about with this new currency as they’ll still get paid the same 70% revenue share whether a customer chooses to use Coins or their own money. Looks like a win-win situation for Amazon and its developers.

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
