The Doogee T30 Max tablet is available now on Amazon for $500. The T30 Max has all the power and battery you want in a tablet, with the added bonus of a brilliant display. The cover that comes with the T30 Max is a bit flimsy, so you'll probably want to find something a bit more substantial.

Navigating the Roku home screen isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. While Roku still has the simplest streaming interface overall, it’s gradually becoming more complicated with extra menu cruft and new banner ads. Even Roku’s app grid, once a beacon of user-friendly design, is becoming filled with redundant shortcuts and content tiles.

AT&T is set to launch a new program called “Next Up Anytime,” which would allow customers to upgrade their smartphones three times a year. We are not sure how realistic such a scenario even is from a practical standpoint, and seems that the service itself will not come that cheap either.

Google Translate is one of those smartphone applications that is incredibly easy to take for granted, whether as a standalone app or built into your browser. It's never been as easy to understand a sentence in a foreign language that you find in the wild.
