So they mixed things up with the announcement of the latest in their popular big-screened stylus-toting Note series, the
Samsung Galaxy Note 5. It's an impressive device on its own, but Samsung somehow felt it wasn't enough and also gave us the
Galaxy S6 edge+, a bigger version of their interesting, if expensive, Galaxy S6 edge.</p> <p>Of course, Samsung wasn't the only thing going on. BlackBerry CEO John Chen articulated details on
the next step in BlackBerry's turnaround strategy (while we saw more leaks of their rumored Android-powered slider smartphone). iMore showed you just how to
sell your old iPhone as we ramp up to the new iPhone 6s, and is
giving away an iPhone 6s on Twitter. In Windows land the
Windows 10 party continues with a complete guide to customization and the release of the latest
Windows 10 Mobile preview.</p> <p><a href="

We've got the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. More details on Samsung Pay. A teaser of the Samsung Gear S2. A crazy Samsung keyboard case cover thing. And probably some other Samsung stuff that we can't even remember because of all the other Samsung stuff. (That pretty much sums up our lives, actually.) Plus, Google getting a new parent company, and CEO, and other crazy stuff. Slow news week, really.</p> <ul><li>

In light of the recent automotive hacks BlackBerry found themselves clearing the air surrounding their subsidiary QNX's involvement. They also found time to begin rolling out a new BBM beta with PayPal integration. Plus, we got a fresh interview with BlackBerry CEO John Chen where he lays out BlackBerry's turnaround strategy.</p> <ul><li>

help and how-to page is growing with many tips, tricks, and answers to your most common questions about the free update.</p> <p>Windows 10 Mobile for Insiders got another big release
with build 10512. Although there are no new features, the forthcoming mobile OS did get
over 2,000 bug fixes as Microsoft puts on the final polish. The OS is expected to be released this fall with two new flagship phones in tow. Editor-in-Chief Daniel Rubino shared his thoughts about the update
in a nice summary article.</p> <p>Last Friday we showed you how to install
Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro (2015). As it turns out, it runs flawlessly. Even better as Apple released an
updated Boot Camp and we showed you how to get
gesture support in Windows 10 using the Apple trackpad.</p> <ul><li>
