Sony Takes Another Swing at Android Tablets With Xperia S
Hello Expense is a simple, reliable expense tracker for Android
Hello Expense is one mobile app that gets it right. It's an expense tracker that lets you use your Android-powered phone to quickly log the money you spend and then analyze it and see where it all went.
I recently had the chance to use it in a real-life situation - a road trip that took a few days and involved quite a few expenses. Logging each expense took seconds, and at the end of each day I could get a great overview of how much money I spent on each category so far.
Categories and tags are user-configurable; the app also sports its own number pad to make number entry easy, regardless of what keyboard you're using.

HBO Go 1.71 update adds support for Jelly Bean devices
When it first landed on the Kindle Fire, HBO Go for Android tablets seemed like a dead cert. And, sure enough, it wasn't long before the service found its way on to slates with version 4.x, with one minor exclusion -- those running Jelly Bean. Well, version 1.7.1 puts that all in the past, and now means the full gamut of Android users (unless you never made it past Donut) can join in the fun. Reading this on your Nexus 7? Make haste toward the source link for the download.

Instapaper Developer Finds Possible Evidence of iPad Mini in Logs

Instapaper developer Marco Arment found signs that suggest two new iPad 2 models have been accessing his app — and it would make sense if they were in fact the rumored 7.85-inch iPad mini.
On Thursday, Arment observed “two curious entries” in Instapaper’s device stats: an iPad2,5 and an iPad2,6, device names he’d never seen pop up before. Although the device numbers could be spoofed by jailbroken devices, Arment thinks a more likely scenario is that these two devices are a Wi-Fi and GSM model of the iPad mini.
Devices with the names iPad2,1, iPad 2,2 and iPad2,3 were the original Wi-Fi, GSM and CDMA released in 2011. iPad2,4 is the cheaper and more efficient 16 GB Wi-Fi iPad 2 that was introduced with the launch of the third-generation iPad. These two new models could simply be the GSM and CDMA versions of the updated iPad 2, but with all the signs of an impending release of a smaller iPad, “a more likely explanation” is that these are the expected mids-sized iOS devices, Arment wrote on his blog.
The so-called iPad mini will reportedly function like a small iPad but look more like an oversized iPod touch. Reports suggest it will sport a 7.85-inch display with a 1024 × 768 resolution. Based on the iPad 2 naming in Instapaper’s device logs, it’d also look like it would sport iPad 2 internals like an A5 processor and 512MB of memory.

Walmart testing 'Scan & Go' iPhone self-checkout app, cashiers becoming endangered species
Reuters was tipped off to a survey that reveals Walmart, the world's largest retailer, is testing a new system that would allow customers to scan items with their iPhone then quickly pay at a self-checkout counter. The "Scan & Go" feature won't let you pay with your phone, at least not yet, but rather than scanning each item individually in line, shoppers will be able to quickly transfer their list to the kiosk and pay in one quick step. The hope is that the new system will dramatically speed checkout times and reduce congestion in the stores. The trial is taking place at the supercenter Rogers, AR, where the entire event will be monitored and recorded for research purposes. Participants are being rewarded with $100 and a $25 gift certificate towards their shopping experience. When or if "Scan & Go" will be delivered to John Q. Public remains to be seen. But we're sure fans of rolled back prices are eager to see it go live.

Fido lights up LTE in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and St. John’s
Canada's Fido network has just announced that LTE is now live and delivering ultra-fast data in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and St. John’s. Their first device will be a mobile hotspot, but given the new iPad is carrier unlocked and LTE ready, and that the rumored iPhone 5 is rumored to have an LTE radio, it's just one more LTE option for Apple mobile device users in Canada to consider.
As of today, Rogers LTE devices are capable of maximum theoretical download speeds of up to 100 Mbps and Rogers customers are experiencing typical download speeds from 12 Mbps to 25 Mbps for most devices, or even up to 40 Mbps for select devices on the Rogers LTE network, which supports 2600 MHz spectrum for LTE connectivity.
Fido, of course, Fido is a subsidiary of Rogers, which has had LTE for a while now, so why it's taken so long and why they're still treated so separately are questions that nag in the back of many users minds. But it has and they are, and these are carriers we're talking about, so it's not likely to change any time soon.
Fido does promise LTE will hit more areas in the coming months. Let's hope there's at least a few more populous ones by September 12...
Anyone planning on upgrading or switching to LTE on Fido?

Speeding Up Your PC, Part 5: Getting Secure
University of Michigan's Computer and Video Game Archive houses over 3,000 different games, roughly 35 unique consoles (video)
Systems such as the ColecoVision, TurboGrafx-16 and 3DO may have been ousted from most home entertainment centers long ago, but they still have shelf space at the University of Michigan's Computer and Video Game Archive. Slashdot caught up with Engineering Librarian and Video Game Archivist Dave Carter and took a look inside the repository, which has curated around 35 classic and current-gen platforms and more than 3,000 different games. Having "one of everything" is the project's ultimate goal, but the logistics of acquiring every new game make achieving that feat a stretch. "Our realistic goal is to be sort of representative of the history of video games, what was important -- what was interesting," Carter said. "And then, not only to preserve the games, but also to preserve the game playing experience." As a "useable archive," patrons of UM's library can dig in and play at different stations with era-appropriate monitors and displays. While many visit for leisure, students have used the resource to research topics ranging from music composition to the effects of texting while driving (using an Xbox 360 racing title and steering wheel peripheral, of course). You can catch a glimpse of the collection in the video below or visit the archive's blog at the more coverage link.
