Poll: When do you start your holiday tech shopping?

Black Friday is a month away, but there are great deals now.

Halloween is nearly upon us, which means people will be gearing up for holiday shopping in November, particularly once Black Friday comes around. We still have a month to go before the biggest shopping event of the season, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of deals for early birds to take advantage of now.

At Android Central, we want to know when you usually start your holiday shopping. Do you like to get a jump start on things or do you wait until the last minute?

Most major smartphone launches have already happened for the year, with Google causing a stir with its impressive price tags for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. These phones already come with some pretty great deals attached to them, depending on where you buy.

Many other great Android devices have some pretty good offers and discounts going on as well. Of course, going into November, we'll be keeping an eye out for the best Black Friday Samsung Galaxy deals as well as offers on smart home products, accessories, and more.

You also might want to keep an eye out for our PS5 restock tracker so you'll know when you can get your hands on one of the hottest consoles. They go fast, though, so you'll want to make sure you have your credit card ready, but a brand new PS5 would be a great holiday gift for the kids or maybe even your partner if you're able to get your hands on the console.

And like every New Year, people will likely flock to the gyms to get ahead of their resolutions, so you'll want to look out for the best Black Friday fitness tracker deals as well, as you can't go wrong with a Fitbit or something similar.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context.
