Deal: get a $100 gift card when buying an AT&T LG G3 on Amazon
Looking for a great Android phone on AT&T? It doesn’t get much better than the LG G3 available with a free $100 gift card on Amazon right now.
If you opt for a 2-year agreement or a Next installment plan, you can have the AT&T LG G3 (white or black) for free, but the gift card offer still applies. In this case, AT&T and Amazon are effectively paying you $100 to pick up the LG G3, monthly commitments not considered. The deal is good for new contracts, upgrades, and new lines.
If you prefer to pay upfront, you can get AT&T LG G3 for $478, but considering the gift card, the effective price of the device goes down to a very appealing $378.

In both cases, the device will be locked on AT&T’s network. Once you buy the LG G3, Amazon will automatically apply the $100 gift card to your account. The promo is valid until February 14, at midnight.
The LG G3 is one of the finest Android flagships of last year, and it’s still holding strong, thanks to a very compact design, large Quad HD display, and fast focusing camera. Read more about the LG G3 in our review.
Amazon’s Echo lets you control iTunes, Pandora and Spotify with your voice
If you accepted an invitation to buy Amazon’s Echo speaker, you’ve noticed that the device didn’t have a vast musical vocabulary at first — you could tell it to play iHeartRadio or Prime Music tunes, and that’s about it. You’ll have a better time of things from now on, though. Amazon is rolling out an update that lets you use your voice to steer iTunes, Pandora radio or Spotify on your mobile device . It’s not super-sophisticated, but you no longer have to reach for your phone just to skip tracks. And in case millions more songs won’t keep you entertained, there’s also a “Simon says” command that you can use to prank people (or simply tell them something) from across the home. We’d argue that the biggest upgrade to the Echo would be getting to buy one, but these new features will do in a pinch.

Amazon slashes the cost of its Fire Phone to £99
Amazon’s Fire Phone has been a huge flop, and it seems like the company is just about ready to throw in the towel. Following multiple fire sales in the US, Amazon has dropped the price of its first smartphone by up to 75 percent in the UK. That puts the 32GB model at £99 off-contract, down from £400, and the 64GB variant at £149, which is £330 cheaper than before. The reductions expire at the end of the day, however, so if you’re intrigued by the handset’s unique Firefly and Dynamic Perspective features, you’ll have to act fast. Of course, such a heavy price cut doesn’t solve the Fire Phone’s larger problems, such as its underwhelming Fire OS software, and the fact it’s still locked to O2, even without a contract. More importantly, this is an early sign that Amazon is waving the white flag in the UK — it’s a sure fire way to move stock while it focuses on perfecting its successor.

Amazon’s Prime Now one-hour delivery delayed by winter storms, too
As a winter storm starts to drop several inches of snow on the northeast United States, Amazon’s advising Prime Now customers in New York City not to rely on its one-hour deliveries. The service started dropping off orders around Manhattan in mid-December, and the online retailer is already seeing a rise in demand as weather conditions get worse. “We’re watching the storm also, and will be operating on a limited schedule,” Amazon spokeswoman Kelly Cheeseman told Bloomberg. “Customers can get updates through the Prime Now app on delivery availability.” So if you’re looking to restock a few “everyday essentials,” you may want to make other arrangements.

Survey finds 50% of phones activated last quarter came from Apple, 26% from Samsung
Apple trumped all other smartphone manufacturers last quarter based on consumers activating a device. The usual Android foes were all far behind Apple with Samsung leading the way. Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) conducted a survey with five hundred subjects in the United States and aimed to find which phone brands were most popular among activations. The devices, both old and new, were activated between October and December of last year.
Samsung trailed Apple by 24% and that was the closest any company came to catching the clan in Cupertino. After that, the numbers dropped off significantly. The third place company was LG with 11% and Motorola finished fourth at 4%. Rounding out the bottom was HTC (2%), Nokia (2%), Amazon (1%), and “other” with 4%. BlackBerry, who may or may not be facing an acquisition in the near future, had no activations from the survey.
Josh Lowitz, the co-founder of CIRP, explained that the loyalty of Apple customers is far greater than that of Samsung and LG’s. He said:
“iPhones drew from loyal Apple customers, with 86% of buyers upgrading from an older iPhone. Samsung and LG saw far lower loyalty rates, with 25% of Samsung owners and 18% of LG owners who activated a phone in the quarter switching to an iPhone.”

Amazon Music app gets dedicated Prime Music section
Amazon has updated their Music application that brings in a dedicated Prime Music section. You’ll be able to quickly add music to your library and manage what songs you own, and you’ll be able to stream music without adding it to your library first. The search results and filtering methods have also been improved, so finding music you want should be easier now.
Aside from the Prime inclusions, Amazon fixed a few bugs and added support for the OnePlus One. If you use Prime Music, this an update you’ll probably want to grab. If you’re on the fence, you can check out our review of the service here.
