| Thanks for checking out our 2011 Holiday
Gift Guide.
Below you will find a variety of products that we've
hand-selected for you AndroidGuys and AndroidGals.
Rather than recommending specific Android-powered handsets
or tablets, we've decided to tailor our list around helping
Android users get the most out of their current device.
Although one or two of these might be
seem designed for a particular phone or tablet, these are
often interchangeable with other models. We've done
our best to offer up ideas that should suit any budget.
Enjoy! |

HDMI Cable What good is having
a micro HDMI port on your phone if you're not taking
advantage of it? Grab a couple of these and leave them
in the places you frequent; you never know when you have a

television or work monitors, you'll be glad you have one on

length to get the 720p video off your handset and onto that
55" TV.
