So all the curious name speculaters – including me – can now be pretty confident that the innaugural Android handset will be called the G1. A link to the G1 appeared momentarily on the T-Mobile website and linked to T-MobileG1.com… surely a sign of whats to come. Here is a screen shot from Engadget – [...]

How impatient us tech fans are… before the T-Mobile/HTC Dream/G1 is even announced, we’re all wondering what the NEXT android phone will be. In this case though, its warranted. Android transcends carriers, manufacturers and geography – thats half of the concept. So what WILL be the next Android phone? Elizabeth Woyke of Forbes.com wrote a [...]

Apologies for being absent since the T-Mobile announcement… I got Sara Palin’ed the morning after the big news and have spent the past two days covering my tracks (wiping computer, new passwords, etc…). I wanted to catch everyone up with a few interesting articles you may have missed while I was away. And if I [...]

The HTC Dream got a surprise LIVE demo by the Google Boys themselves at Google Developer Day in London. While the branding is “covered” by masking tape, everything points to this being the latest and greatest video demo of the HTC Dream, complete with Android Version 1.0!

Yummy. Very Yummy.

If the little birdies that dropped by TechCrunch and CrunchGear chirp the truth, then the HTC Dream will be start selling on October 20th! The September 23rd “announcement” date was confirmed as well as the three color options (white, black, brown). Mark it on your calendar, folks. Until further notice here is what you should [...]

The Android Developers Blog has not only released a new game for Android devices but they’ve open sourced it so developers can see the various APIs and tools used in a real world application. The backstory of the game’s development is pretty funny: Karl Rosaen remembered playing a simple childhood computer game but couldn’t remember [...]

In 2005, Gizmondo seemed poised to become a handheld gaming powerhouse competing with the likes of the Nintendo DS and Portable Sony Playstation (PSP). But after the CEO crashed a Ferrari at 200 MPH a bizarre trail was uncovered that led to mafia ties, drugs, fraud, corruption, terrorism and the total collapse, bankruptcy and liquidation [...]

In the last two days, Google’s Mobile team has launched custom mobile services/solutions for both Windows Mobile and BlackBerry devices. With the announcement and launch of the HTC Dream (likely) right around the corner, what will Google bring to Android’s table? Yesterday Google announced the Google Mobile application for BlackBerry that you easily download by [...]

According to a Reuters article, the Android G1 is likely to be announced in New York City on September 23rd. The news comes from journalists Nicola Leske and Nikola Rotscheroth as Reuters was apparently informed/tipped by two separate people (not the journalists we assume) that the NYC showdown was occurring. Authenticity? Not sure… but anything [...]

The HTC Dream or T-Mobile G1, which is it? Apparently even the companies involved can’t decide. TMoNews got hold of a picture that the “tipper” claims is internal documents showing that the HTC G1 will come in Black, Brown and White as has been rumored before. There really isn’t any “new” information here besides the [...]

Google’s Android GPhone Is Already A Flop. That was the misleading title of an article on the Silicon Alley Insider yesterday that we’re still trying to figure out. Is the author irresponsible, clueless or just fishing with linkbait? The article gains its critical inspiration from an article by Financial Times writer Richard Waters that cites [...]

Google has just announced a new Open Source (Sample) Application for Android called Photostream, announcing it this morning on the Android Developer’s Blog. Photostream is a simple photo browser that integrates with Flickr and all you need to run it are a username (Google provides a default username for testing purposes). Developers might also want [...]

We saw this coming a mile away. As we predicted, Android WILL get a mobile iteration of Chrome and this has been confirmed by the Google CEO himself – Sergey Brin – in an interview. But what will they name the new browser?

UPDATE:  GOOGLE CHROME RENDERS DIVS IN WORDPRESS 2.6 DIFFERENT THAN FIREFOX. THAT IS WHY THERE ARE NO PARAGRAPH BREAKS. ITS PROBABLY AN EASY FIX… BUT IM NOT GOING TO FIX IT… JUST BECAUSE ITS FUNNY TO ILLUSTRATE THAT NOW WEB DEVELOPERS WILL HAVE MORE BROWSERS TO DESIGN FOR.. UGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH We’ve got Google Chrome installed and [...]
