The Nexus 6 is a fantastic phone, but it doesn’t have the appealingly low price that its immediate predecessors did. If you’ve been waiting for the price to drop a bit below the $650 mark for the base model, now’s your chance. Amazon is selling the unlocked 32GB blue version for just $583.90, a solid 10% discount. The seller is a third party (with no Prime shipping), and at the time of writing there are only 9 left at this price – hurry if you want to grab one.

The Nexus 9 — although not perfect in any sense — is still the only 9-inch Nexus Tablet out there. Love it or hate it. For those that aren’t turned off by some of its shortcomings (we’ve seen varying reports of bugginess and questionable build quality), the tablet can be found at Best Buy this weekend for a cool $75 off.

That brings the price down to $325 for the 16GB version, and $405 for the 32GB model in either Indigo black, or Lunar white. Normally priced at $400/$480, that’s still $75 cheaper than you’ll find the Nexus 9 on the Google Store.

The tablet has received mostly favorably reviews on Best Buy.com and Amazon, where we’re seeing a solid 4-star rating. That’s gotta say something, right? Link to the Nexus 9 at Best Buy provided below.

Google Wallet is adding a few small, but pretty worthwhile new features in the Google Play Store today. Announced on their Google+ page, Wallet won’t just tell you where you bought something, they’ll actually show you. This is done using Google Maps which has now been integrated into the app and viewable in the transaction details.

Now the next feature is even more useful. Imagine it’s several weeks later and you can’t for the life of you remember where it was you had those amazing tacos during a drunken night out with your friends. You could scroll through all your transactions like an animal, keeping an eye out for anything related to Mexican eateries.

Or, like a future-man, you can simply search through your transaction history by merchant name, item of purchase, or any other keywords. Type in “bomb tacos” and you’ll pull up a transaction — now with a handy Maps location — of that amazing hole-in-the-wall.

The update should already be waiting for you in the Google Play Store, so make sure you update and happy shopping.

If you have been on the fence about whether or not to purchase Google’s latest tablet, the Nexus 9, Best Buy may have made your decision a little easier. For the next two days, the blue box store is discounting the price of the 16GB model by $75, bringing the price down to a more reasonable $325. The verdict is still out among Android Police staff on whether or not this is a great tablet, but a lower price might make up for some of its warts.

The Play Store is where you go to watch your other apps get updated, but occasionally it’s nice to sit back and watch as the store gets its own renovation. Sometimes the changes are stark. Otherwise, there’s just a few new lights here or there.

What’s New?

In version 5.4.10, it’s not about what’s been added, but what’s been taken away. The notification bar has lost its color. Now Play Store pages appear with banner images that reach towards the top of the screen.

Have you ever looked at your low-tech car audio system and wished your head unit could just be as smart as the phone in your pocket? Or maybe you have one of those fancy infotainment systems, whose software tends to make the HTC G1 look futuristic by comparison. Well, an automaker finally decided to acknowledge that it’s easier to use the hardware that the customer already has than build something newer and more expensive that won’t do any better.

When manufacturers churn out hundreds of thousands of devices in order to meet demand, occasionally a bad egg or two makes it past quality control. It’s not uncommon to have one, maybe even a few defective devices slip out when your phone is as popular as say, the Samsung Galaxy S6. So it’s not too surprising to find that some brand new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge customers have discovered some oddities with their shiny new devices, fresh out of the box.

It’s not #bendgate (thankfully), but as highlighted by XDA Developers , a handful of forum members have discovered what appears to be tiny scratches all over their “new” Galaxy S6 displays. It’s a pattern not too unlike the swirl marks you might find on your car’s clear coat. It’s not clear how they got there, or how wide spread the issue is at the moment, but it’s definitely something you wouldn’t expect to find when unwrapping a $700+ piece of tech. The uploader also makes mention of dead pixels being present when the display is turned on.

Keep in mind out-of-the-box defects like this aren’t unique the Galaxy S6. Even the folks at iFixit found a scratched display on their freshly unwrapped HTC One M9 (complete with a dead pixel). Like any out-of-the-box defects, issues like this should be taken up with the retailer from whence it came, which happens to be T-Mobile who began shipping out the Samsung Galaxy S6 ahead of its April 10th launch date. There was a report of an international model also arriving in this same condition, but that could be more isolated.

In any case, now would be a good time to check your device out under a lamp or direct sunlight. Anyone find something similar on their Samsung Galaxy S6 unit?

In mid-March, Evernote got a nice update to version 7.0 with a more “material” look and feel, a new navigation drawer, revised FAB, custom quick notes, and a few other goodies. At the time though, the overhaul was only pushed out to phones (with Evernote maintaining the mysterious “varies with device” version status in the Play Store).

As of yesterday, Evernote says 7.0 is going out to Android tablets as well.
