(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Keeping track of all your content in your phone can be daunting task. There are many apps out there that will act as a file explorer for you, and even certain phones will come equipped with one right out of the box. ES File Explorer has been around for awhile, but I have found it to be one of the best out there when sorting through my files.
If you think ES Explorer opens up with all your files sorted, let me enlighten. There are so many features to this app I almost don’t know where to begin. I’ll start with the Homepage. Right off the bat, ES Explorer shows how many files you have in images, music, movies, documents, and apps. It also shows how much space is being used on your SD card, and gives you the option to utilize tools and bookmarks. They have adopted that Material Design navigation where touching the top-left menu icon brings in new navigation menu from the left. This is where you can us ES File Explorer as a web browser just incase you don’t want to use a stock browser, or third-party browser.
The browser feature actually surprised me the most, because I really liked how they organized the use of Google within the menu and its browser. You can access, news, weather, and Facebook right from this menu. As you scroll down you can still access everything within your phone as well, and they went the extra mile to check features with your LAN connection. You can even customize your Explorer app with gestures and thumbnails if you feel so inclined.
The Customization doesn’t stop there. If you hit the Local tab, you can customize the look of all your files by changing the view setting. Sort by name or type, size of folders, grid of list style, many options when it comes to customizing this app. Us Androidians love to customize, so if you want a file explorer that is easy to customize, ES File Explorer is for you.
Go ahead and make your way into the Play Store and download ES File Explorer is you haven’t yet. Check out my video run-through below to see it all in action. Let us know if you ended up getting the app and how much you like it.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus could be available on August 21
Samsung is scheduled to announce the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, and Gear A on August 13 in New York City. Samsung pushed the event up earlier this year to get jump on its rivals rather than holding the event at IFA like usual. The Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is basically an upgrade to the popular Galaxy S6 Edge, with a larger display and slightly faster internals. Today, information regarding the Galaxy S6 Edge’s pricing and release date emerged.
According to SamMobile, insiders have confirmed that the new handset will start at a hefty price tag of 799,99 euro for the 32GB model (or about $880). This is on the heels of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 receiving price cuts to make room for the Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy Note 5. The source also says that the new handset will hit the shelves on August 21, about one week after its official launch.

Buyer’s Guide: Discounts on Retina iMac, MacBook Air, Apple Accessories, and More
As Back to School approaches, we may see major retailers dropping the prices on Macs and tablets in an effort to draw people into stores. This week, there are no standout deals on iPads or iPhones, but there are a few Macs that are available for reasonable prices, including the 27-inch 3.3GHz Retina iMac, available for $1,799, the lowest price we’ve seen on that machine yet.
Last week, Apple launched its Back to School program. Instead of offering gift cards for the iTunes Store or Apple Store as it has done in years past, any Mac purchase through September 18 will net you a free pair of Beats headphones. If you’re buying a new Mac, that’s a deal worth checking out.
In this week’s deals post, we’ve also got some discounts on Apple accessories, including an external battery for the Mac, and a selection of iPhone and MacBook cases. As always, we’ve also rounded up deals on popular apps and games.
iPad Air 2

IBM to Purchase Up to 200,000 Macs Annually, With 50-75% of Employees Ultimately Switching From Lenovo
A year after teaming up with Apple on an enterprise partnership to push iOS devices and apps for business users, IBM is moving forward with plans to rapidly move its own employees onto Apple’s platforms, MacRumors has learned.
While IBM announced in an internal memo several months ago that it was planning to purchase up to 50,000 MacBooks for employees by the end of 2015, chief information officer Jeff Smith has revealed in a new internal video released to employees yesterday that he believes IBM could actually end up purchasing 150,000-200,000 Macs annually.
In the video, Smith relates a conversation he had with Apple’s chief information officer Niall O’Connor about the possibility of a massive Mac deployment for IBM.
“I’d like to be able to offer these to everyone that can use it. We’ve got to find a way to make the overall cost the same or lower than PCs to make that happen. Would you be interested in helping me do that, because you guys know these devices”, and he said, “No, Jeff, we’d never do that…very secretive, we never allow anyone in. You know, we just don’t do that.”
And I said, “Well who’s your largest corporate customer?” And he said “Well, that customer has got about 25,000 MacBooks a year.” And I said, “Well we could be 150-200,000.” And he goes “Jeff, that’s a great idea! We’re gonna come here, you know, next week…you bring your whole team,” and that’s exactly what happened.
In a separate clip from the video, Smith describes a recent conversation between Tim Cook and IBM vice president Fletcher Previn in which Previn indicated the initiative could see 50–75 percent of IBM employees eventually converting to Macs from the Lenovo ThinkPads that are currently the company standard.
Apple and IBM, former rivals in the PC market, have been working increasingly closely together on both specialized enterprise-focused iOS apps and more recently on HealthKit and ResearchKit data management tools. With so many IBM employees now in line to switch to Macs for their work machines, the stage is setting up for even more collaboration going forward.
