Review Horizon

Thanks to developer/hacker Vgeezy, Hulu Plus can now be enjoyed as an application on every Android handset/tablet available, even the ones that were not deemed compatible by Hulu. One such device is the new LTE enablet Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocekt launched several months ago by AT&T and my favorite smartphone at this point. You can download two variants of modded Hulu Plus apk from here (portrait orientation) and from here (landscape modded orientation) for devices that lack a portrait mode. I can confirm it works on my Skyrocket and reports confirm it working on Motorola Xoom, Archos 101 G9, Galaxy Nexus, Asus Transformer TF101, HTC HD2, Viewsonic G Tablet, Motorola Atrix 2, Evo, etc. Just be sure to disable any ad blocking apps you might have installed, or at least configure them to let Hulu Plus through.

At this point, unfortunately the modded Hulu Plus apk doesn’t work with any Google TV variants, the main reason being the x86 architecture and the lack of the needed libraries. Well, one can always hope that the next version will!

Nook Tablet is together with Kindle Fire one of the most eagerly awaited gadgets of the year. Barnes & Noble’s previous tablet, the Nook Color held an important record – the best selling tablet after Apple’s iPad and that is a not an easy feat considering how crowded the tablet market has become. It is obvious though that pricing correctly sells, and the original Nook Color was priced correctly, the HP Touchpad has been priced correctly ( ) during its fire sale and the current Nook Tablet is also priced correctly at $249. However, it is $50 more than Kindle Fire. Is it worth the extra money? How does it stand against its main competitor from Amazon? These are only some questions we’ll try to answer in this Nook Tablet Review. Read More…

We were fortunate enough to get on of the CoolerMaster’s best looking cases for a review – the CM Storm Trooper, a high grade full tower gaming case with an ambitious design and a price to match ($189.99 retail).

Can it provide all it promises? Let’s get into some details in Review Horizon’s CoolerMaster CM Storm Trooper Review. Read More…

Not too long ago both me and my significant other exchanged our shiny iPhone 4 devices for new Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket, the AT&T new 4G handsets. The problem was, same as with our iPhones, we needed some protection and since this particular modes is quite new, there are not too many cases designed specifically for them (AT&T sells only some Otter models in our local store and rather expensive).

Everybody talks about various advantages or lack of in terms of hardware, software, platform, store, etc that one tablet has over the competition. We decided to try a different angle – let’s assume for whatever reason you are unhappy with either the Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet and you decided to return it. I followed the process at both the Amazon online store and Barner & Noble online store and here are my findings: Read More…

RAIDMAX has been on a roll recently launching a plethora of good looking cases on a budget (check our Raidmax Helios Review) and their latest addition, Seiran (MSRP $79.99) is even more ambitious than the other members of the family, at least in terms of specifications.
