Casio’s G’zOne Commando may not be the prettiest Android smartphone on the block, but it’s a rare phone that can survive a splash in a puddle or a weekend in the freezing cold.
The Commando hits Verizon Wireless on Thursday for $200 with a two-year contract. Although it’s not the first phone in the unfortunately-named G’zOne series …
Apple gives us plenty to complain about, but one thing I wouldn’t is the graceful design of my 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook Pro.

The next iPhone case you purchase will surely be this $35 Steve Jobs in Carbonite masterpiece found over on Society6.com’s website.
“But Doug, $35 is far too expensive for a plastic iPhone case,” you say. Remember the part about how it’s Steve Jobs in Carbonite, though.

HTC’s well-received “Droid Incredible” Android smartphone has gotten an update in the Droid Incredible 2, which is set to launch on Thursday for $200 with a two-year contract through Verizon.
