If Toshiba were to exit the HDD business it would leave Seagate Technology and Western Digital as the only remaining HDD companies. It is interesting to note that at the same time that Toshiba might exit HDDs, that the two other HDD companies are trying to position themselves as players in the enterprise SSD business.

There was always a contradiction at the heart of Star Wars: Battlefront for me. It was, on a fundamental level, a pretty successful game: it was gorgeous, fun and engaging, with an almost miraculous translation of the essential Star Wars aesthetic into a videogame. The problem was that there just wasn’t a whole lot of it. Star Wars: Battlefront is one of several recent multiplayer-only titles that just launched pretty thin for a $60 retail game, even if there was the promise of DLC to come. We’ve seen a small amount of that already, but EA just announced the complete DLC schedule for the game, and there’s some pretty cool stuff coming.

T-Mobile is kicking off the new year with an alleged buy one, get one half off sale for a bunch of eligible smartphones. This sale will start tomorrow, January 27 according to the tip provided to TmoNews.
When you buy an eligible device, you can get the same price or cheaper device for 50% off, which is quite a bit considering the high price of high-end smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, LG G4, LG V10, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, and iPhone 6s Plus are all eligible.
The offer can be redeemed with installation plans or paying the full price of the smartphone by new and existing customers. You can’t mix manufacturers, so you’ll have to get two of the same brand phone, though you can mix models. Both devices need to have active lines. And the cheaper device will be the one discounted, which is always the case.
Though it’s unconfirmed so far, hopefully this is the case. You can get some sweet savings on new phones, right before all the new smartphones are announced in February.

Even though it hasn’t done much venturing onto American soil yet, Xiaomi is quickly becoming one of the world’s largest smartphone manufacturers. The company has garnered much attention for creating high-end devices and selling them for comparatively low prices. If you’re a fan of the company, you have a new smartphone to look forward to.
Xiaomi’s own Hugo Barra (formerly VP of Android at Google) has announced via Twitter that Xiaomi will be launching its flagship Mi 5 smartphone on February 24. Barra points out that the Mi 5 will be Xiaomi’s first product launch in 2016 and says that the Mi 5 will be “everything you imagined, and more.”
#Mi5 is almost here! Xiaomi’s first product launch in 2016, on February 24. It's everything you imagined, and more. http://pic.twitter.com/DXGaYZVXCU

Leaks on the Mi 5 have been fairly minimal, but we’ve heard rumors of a 5.2-inch QHD display, Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a metal body. It’s also unclear what availability of the Mi 5 will look like. Over the past few years, Xiaomi has kept its devices in China and some surrounding countries, only recently expanding into India. But Xiaomi has stated that it has plans to move internationally, so it is possible that the Mi 5 could be Xiaomi’s first phone to be sold globally.
We’ll keep you posted.

Every App That Apple’s Tried to Kill
Apple’s main philosophy is to take something someone has done, and do it better. Part of that is doing away with those they intend to beat.

LG has announced its financial results for both the fourth quarter of 2015 and the full year. In it, the company discusses all the expected stuff for each division, including the divisions for TVs and appliances. But of course, our focus is on the mobile communications division.
It looks like sales in Q4 2015 are unchanged from Q4 2014, but they’re an improvement over Q3 2015. North American sales are improved as well, which aided in the improved quarter sales. LG shipped 59.7 million handsets last year.
In an effort to boost sales, LG revealed its mobile plans for 2016. They includes two flagships along with a value chain of devices. The budget devices are expected, but the second flagship (other than the LG G5) is a mystery. A successor to the LG V10 could be in the works.
It’s good to see LG sales going up, we don’t want to see more Android competitors drop out of the game.
