The T-Mobile G1 has finally hit the United Kingdom and Andy Burgess was the very first Euro-Consumer to rejoice in ownership of the first Android phone. He was first in a line that started forming at 5am. We would applaude him for his efforts, but having the G1 in hand should be reward enough!
So… how [...]

It was quite a surprise when Wal-Mart announced they would begin selling the T-Mobile G1 for 15% less than T-Mobile themselves. Early adopters were a bit frustrated and now the potential Wal-Mart purchasers have a reason to be frustrated, too.
Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers: The G1 will not go on sale at Wal-Mart until or around November [...]

I spent a few minutes going through an application on the Android Market called BudgetDroid. As you can probably guess, it helps you set budgets, keep track of your expense and hopefully will make you more financially responsible.

Motorola’s “Social Networking” Android Phone has caused a lot of buzz in the past couple weeks. Combined with the recent news that Motorola was focusing on Android, axing all but 2 other operating systems Motorola would develop for, and you would think the company was surging for a bundles of Android Phones as soon as [...]

Recent news that luxury tech manufacturer Bang & Olufsen will halt production of cell phones and other products not in their focus area (TV & Audio) seems a demise born from economic factors. When the company axed its entire mobile lineup we asked ourselves – “Could it have been salvaged?” We think so.
Take a look [...]

We’ve got a warning/announcement for all folks who pre-ordered their T-Mobile G1 and have it in hand. Remember that 1 week of free data service you got with your phone? Well, after that 1 week your “free” service is turned off but your “paid service” is never turned on!
So if you’ve just passed that 1 [...]

Our newest buddies over at Unlock T-Mobile G1 have brought us all some unlockin’ goodness after merely a week since the G1’s launch. Earlier, we reported that it would be just a few weeks before the G1 was unlocked. Well, if eight days means a few weeks, then we were correct.

At the time of recording this video there were 3 Tip Calculators on the Android Market. Since then, even more have sprung up. While I tip my hat to the developers who put their best effort towards making gEZtip, Tip Calculator and SA Tip Calculator, but I found neither 3 were up to par with [...]

Remember OpenMoko? They’re the folks who promised, way back when Android was just a concept, that they WOULD indeed release an Android Phone. In fact, I think they vowed they would be the FIRST but it doesn’t look like that happened.
Nevertheless, they may be the second. The AndroidGuys got a hot tip that OpenMoko is [...]

I’ve always been puzzled as to how someone could live without a smartphone. To me, being able to check email, sports scores, and get my YouTube on whenever I want is simply commonplace.
That is, until I forsook my iPhone for the G1. Wait?! Can’t the G1 do YouTube, email, and sports scores (and do [...]

GoTV currently has 4 applications on the Android Market: Es Musica, HipHop Official, Rock On Altitude, True Country. I would best describe them as Musical Video Magazines which organize video content by genre and various “feature categories” such as music videos, concerts, interviews, etc…
After taking a look at their website, it appears as though GoTV [...]

The folks at the White Pages contacted me about their White Pages application for Android which is actually a VERY cool addition to your app collection. It uses White Pages info of over 200 million phone listings to provide additional information to your phone’s Caller ID!

I took a quick couple minutes to play with DialCall and show you guys exactly what it does: it turns your T-Mobile G1 (or any Android Phone) into a rotary phone. Its fun to play with for all of twelve seconds until you realize how tedious and annoying it is to use one of these [...]

We just spotted the news that MTVMusic.com has launched and if you’re a music fan (and non-athiest) you can start praising the lord(s) right now because its one of the most amazing websites on the face of the earth.
The website catalogs pretty much every video ever created and organizes it in a tremendously easy to [...]
