Today’s Deal – Enfain 16GB USB Drive 10-Pack for $36

Today’s deal over at Amazon is a good one because it seems there is always a need for an extra USB thumb drive or two.  In this case, 10.  Today you can pick up the Enfain 16GB USB drive in a 10 pack for $35.99.  The drives come in a wide range of color options and all are USB 2.0 compatible in the pack.  With school starting (or having started) and the need to share files, this is a great deal to pick up so you can always have an extra drive laying about the house to give to the kids or transfer files to and from work and home.

Android Nougat Release Likely on August 22

There are a lot of indicators to suggest that we could well see Android Nougat, the next major build of Android, be released next Monday.  Canadian carrier Telus indicated in a forum post that the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X on their networks will receive the update on August 22nd.  If that is indeed the case, it means that Google themselves will be dropping the update out to those devices (as well as the Nexus 6) that day as the carriers and manufactures cannot release it prior to Google themselves.

Adding further evidence to a Monday release is LG.  The Android phone manufacture will be starting a limited preview program in Korea on the LG G5.  Again, like Telus, LG can’t release a preview program prior to Google releasing the bits.  If they are saying that the preview program is starting on Monday, that means Nougat will have to be available on Monday if not sooner.
