drag2share: Daily Desired: The Toughest Backyard Grill In the World [Desired]

Daily Desired: The Toughest Backyard Grill In the WorldA Weber grill is just a glorified hunk of cheap metal. Don't believe me? Heat the grates up to 1000 degrees and watch the thing fall apart. This grill is for people who want to cook for real.

The Engelbrecht 1000 Series Braten Grill is a tank from top to bottom. Other grills look hardcore, but how many have cast iron wheels? A thousand degrees is nothing for the welded, heavy-gauge steel body. The designers paid meticulous attention to every detail down to the stainless steel caster mounts. This thing will survive a bomb blast. Oh yeah, and the grill is a serious cook's dream. That huge steel body? Also great for heat absorption and transfer. Maybe a $1900 weapons-grade grill isn't for you, but there's a six-week waiting list of people who want one real bad. [Engelbrecht Grills and Cookers]

drag2share: Flickr's New App Might Be Android's Instagram [Android Apps]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5844898/flickrs-android-app-lets-you-take-filtered-pictures

Flickr's New App Might Be Android's InstagramFlickr, who should have jumped on the Instagram filter train earlier, has finally put out an Android app and along with letting you scan photostreams, upload pictures, share photos to other social networks, you can also take filterized pictures. Woot!

The app looks like a better version of the iPhone app (it's Flickr on your phone but with the added dimension of using an in-app camera) but might be too little too late for Android users. I've been waiting for a Flickr app on Android for so long that I eventually made the move to Picasa, er Google Photos. I'd imagine some Android user have faced the same dilemma?

I hope not though, Flickr has always been the apple of my eye and I'd definitely like it to regain some traction. With a filtered camera option that automatically uploads to Flickr and gives you options for other social networks, maybe it can find new life. [Android Market]

drag2share: Skype update for iOS adds anti-shake, Bluetooth connectivity and ads for freeloaders

Skype's latest app upgrade brings a few substantial features, some good, one not so. Alongside a new anti-shake video call function (limited to the iPhone's back-facing camera), you can now pair Bluetooth headsets with the VoIP calling service, something apparently "long requested" from Skype fans. However, users have to fork out for credit to avoid seeing advertising that's also baked into the new version. The update's now up for grabs on both the iPhone and iPad, though there are reports of a few teething troubles, including missing credit and account details. We've also been experiencing issues, with the app unwilling to play nice with our Bluetooth headsets, though oddly, we can still hear the Skype call ring through. Hopefully we'll see another update that sorts this out soon -- till then, tap the link below for more details, or ogle a bit of smoothed out anti-shake action after the break.

Verizon's dangled a 4G LTE upgrade carrot in the noses of the Xoom-adopting hordes from the start. Now, it appears the carrier's ready to make good on that promise. Starting tomorrow, current owners of Motorola's Honeycomb tab can visit a dedicated VZW site for a step-by-step guide through the upgrade process. If you were amongst the eager few who signed up for alerts, the company's going to prioritize you and send out a notification via email. The entire swap-out should take up to six business days, returning a freshly enhanced LTE-enabled slate free-of-charge. As for the rest of you Xoom-less onlookers, Big Red's going to be offering up the updated tablets this October 13th for $499 on a new two-year service contract. Jump past the break to parse through the official presser.

drag2share: a-JAYS One+ earbuds bring in-line remote, Swedish flair to your smartphone experience

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/28/a-jays-one-brings-in-line-remote-swedish-flair-to-your-smartph/

JAYS has been dishing out slick looking audio gear for years, but before now it only offered models with inline remotes compatible with iDevices. Good thing the new a-JAYS One+ has arrived to bring some fashion forward 'phones to a bevy of handsets and give Klipsch some competition. The One+ still has tangle-free flat cables, sleek looks, and the matte-black finish you know and love, but it can now control devices from HTC, Samsung, BlackBerry and LG with its one-button inline remote. This is truly an egalitarian set of earbuds, as it works whether your phone's running iOS, Windows Mobile, or Android. Plus, there's a free JAYS Headset Control Android app that brings voice, volume and track controls to your little green bot. It'll be available sometime in Q4 of this year for $50, so peep the PR and the source below to ready yourself for its arrival.
