Read MoreSamsung Galaxy Z Fold3 One Month Later
One month isn’t enough time to render a long term verdict on the durability of a folding phone like the Galaxy Z Fold3. Will it break in a year? Samsung doesn’t think so, but that still remains to be seen. But one month with this quasi phone/tablet device has been enough time for me to really learn the quirks of such a unique device. After a month, I feel like I have a good handle on the good and the bad. Thankfully, it is mostly good. I also finally got my hands on an S Pen that works with the Fold3, so I’ve been able to test that experience out. Is the Fold3 a worthy Galaxy Note replacement? Let’s find out.

On Friday, the ruling in the lawsuit that Epic Games filed against Apple was delivered. This is important enough that I think it warrants its own focus. This is not the end of the legal battle, In many ways, it is just the beginning. Both sides will likely appeal, and this case seems destined for the United States Supreme Court.

Read MoreSamsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G Review
I’ve written this review once already. No, seriously. I wrote most of what I planned to be my review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and it was almost 4000 words without even talking about the software experience. I wanted to talk about the Z Fold 3 as I normally would talk about a smartphone, but also talk about the things that make the Z Fold 3 different and special. 4000 words later and I had something that was too much to publish.
