Verizon Wireless invested $135 million in its Florida networks during the first half of 2015
Verizon Wireless invested $135 million on its Florida network during the first half of 2015 to bolster 4G LTE coverage through its rapid expansion of its new XLTE technology. It is hoped that this expansion will help reach and provide more services to customers across the state.
Verizon’s XLTE technology employ the carrier’s AWS (Advanced Wireless Services) spectrum to offer more stability, capacity, and high speeds over its 4G LTE network. The telecommunications company has been able to launch over 230 XLTE sites this year across Florida alone.
XLTE should provide blazing speeds and great stability in congested areas. This is especially important around locations where there are hospitals, government facilities, and other important human resource buildings.

Cinnamon is a new grocery shopping app with tons of features and a Material Design interface
Cinnamon is a brand new app on the Play Store that offers a Material Design-infused take on grocery lists. The app has tons and tons of useful features and fits right in alongside Google’s flat and colorful design language.
The app offers all the standard things you’d expect from grocery list services, including the option to keep your lists synced across devices and plenty of sorting and tagging options. Cinnamon goes a bit farther, though, offering to keep a list of things you already have at home so you never accidentally buy too much of something, and speeding up the process of moving things back and forth between what you have and what you need.
The app also supports “bundles” of groceries to make it easier to pick up a group of things at once, plus built-in price tracking and a shopping cart view so you can keep up with your spending.
Best of all, the app integrates Material Design into its interface and looks fantastic. It’s one of the most attractive looking grocery list apps available, and best of all, it’s completely free. Definitely worth checking out.

Google teases Android M’s future moniker in new video
Android M has been in the Developer Preview stage ever since late May, but we are still left without the official name. This happened last year with the current version of Android, which is now Lollipop.
As we all know, Google gives their Android version number a coinciding dessert. Previously we have seen Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, and KitKat to name a few. Now that Android M is nearing its official release, which is expected some time this month, Google put out a video hinting at what the M could stand for.
So, if Google’s timeline stays correct, we are only a matter of days away from the official name behind the M. What are your thoughts on it? I personally think it’s going to be Marshmallow.

Google recruits Nat and Lo to help tease Android M with a musical video
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Google is pretty damn good at teasing, and in its latest campaign to tease Android M, they’ve recruited the help of Nat and Lo, a pair of Google fans/employees/fun-loving-geeks, to create a new musical video to do just that. The premise of the video is “what’s M gonna be?” and sees a whole lot of desserts and sweets that start with M listed – what’s most interesting about the video is right at the end, which shows the torso and abdomen of a new Android statue being painted. Check out the video for yourself:
The leading candidate on the Internet so far appears to be Marshmellow, based on the statue being painted white right at the end, but I’m convinced that’s just an undercoat – Google wouldn’t make it that obvious, would they? One thing that Google has made relatively obvious is that the version number of Android M is going to be Android 5.2, as depicted in the new demo mode in the Android M Developer Preview – or maybe that’s just a red herring. Whatever the case, the starting of teasing can only mean that an Android M release is coming pretty soon, so stay tuned for more of this.
What do you think the “M” in “Android M” is going to be? Let us know your pick in the comments below.

AT&T revamps its Mobile Share Value plans, putting the consumer first
AT&T today announced new plans to revamp its Mobile Share Value plans, aiming to give its customers the best bang for their buck. There’s no doubt that the pressure from T-Mobile’s competitive pricing has helped sway AT&T’s decision to offer discounted rates.
$20 will now get you 300MB of data, and for just $10 more you can get 2GB of data. $100 will get you 15GB of data, with $140 giving you 20GB of data to spend as you wish.
These last two higher tier plans will give you free texting and calls to Mexico and Canada, and each line will cost you $15/mo. For the lower tier plans ($20-$50), each line will cost $25. AT&T also has plans up to 50GB, if the 20GB option isn’t enough for you.
AT&T’s revamped Mobile Share Value plans aren’t available just yet, though! The carrier will officially let customers begin switching over to those plans as of tomorrow, August 15.
The deal might sound to be one of the sweetest AT&T has offered yet, but it’s no doubt a move to take the public eye off of the carrier’s recent rise in fees. AT&T recently announced a rise in fees for Next activations, in addition to regular activation fees.
As long as you don’t plan on upgrading to a fancy new device in the near future, AT&T’s discounted Mobile Shared Value plans might actually be worth the jump!
