We just got an email from the Android Market Support Team who shared some details of the updates coming as we move into the new year. The announcement isn’t earth shattering, but its great to see that Google is closely adhering to their timeline, seems right on target and is following through with all the [...]

The first full year of Android Delight is now in the history books and if you ask us, it was a huge success. In the name of fun and commemoration, we’re going to summarize the year that was with Android with a little narrative that actually originates with the birth of Google Android. On November [...]

Everyone wants to know what device will be the next Android Phone. Whatever it is – it won’t be from a major manufacturer. Kogan is already accepting pre-orders for their Agora Pro device which will ship in January but ImAndroid.org has some new pictures of the OpenMoko Neo FreeRunner with Android and they say THAT [...]

You love your G1. You love your iPod speakers. You have no choice but to dive into the ocean of uber geekery to solder the two worlds together, writing a chapter of G1hetto Nerdness in the process: I mean sersiously, take one good look at that and tell me it isn’t ghetto. I dare you. [...]

Take a usually cheap knock off phone, throw in Windows Mobile and Android operating systems onto it and what do you have? A cheap way to catch our attention. Chinese company HKC has done their best HTC impersonation with a device dubbed the Pearl – it bares an undeniable resemblence to the latter company’s stylistic [...]

If you own a G1, chances are that the sub-par battery of your Android Phone are among your top complaints. Many would say “sub-par” is being generous. Hold your criticizing horses there just a second because T-Mobile might be planning to bail you out. There has been no formal announcement from T-Mobile on the topic [...]

Its undeniable that Windows Mobile is one of the few dominant mobile operating systems on the planet. Whether that position is held due to its effectiveness or the sheer global power of Microsoft could be debated. But the sheer size of the company behind WinMo doesn’t make it immune to competition and the news from [...]

It’s been a full week since I’ve hollered at phandroids and as I’m sure you guessed by the title, I’m putting full blame of the website’s recent dazed state on the holidays. Spending time with family and friends trumped the interwebz for once and if you don’t like that, I invite you to contact us [...]

Google is certainly feeling the pain of recession, most recently evidenced by the Xmas bonus given out. Valleywag is reporting that instead of the $20,000 or $30,000 bonuses the company has given in the past, every single Googler will get an Android Dream Phone. A T-Mobile G1 you mean? No…no… we said – Dream Phone [...]

Everyone knows Garmin, the company leading the GPS navigation industry. Most Android fans also know that the GPS applications available on the Android Market are currently limited to ONE application – AndNav2 – which is in Alpha stages and isn’t yet available for the United States. Worry not, because in the 2nd half of 2009, [...]

One of the top complaints of Android’s first phone – the T-Mobile G1 – is the fact that it doesn’t have an onscreen keyboard. The full physical QWERTY is a godsend, but having to slide open the keyboard for simple keystrokes, searches and passwords can be a real drag. Introducing the un-drag: Android’s On-Screen Keyboard [...]

On December 1st, I wrote an article titled, “Let’s Be Clear: I Love XOHM” discussing my troubles with Comcast Internet service and how Sprint’s XOHM – soon to be Clearwire’s Clear – saved the day. I’m sad to say that I have to amend that article after having an equally agitating experience (compared to Comcast). [...]

If you think the title has a lot of A’s in it, you should hear the sound that’s reverberating in our brain right now: aaaaaaaww maaaaan! AndNav2 is Android’s first ever navigation application… and it’s FREE! A tipster sent this in a few days ago, but when we saw that it only supported Germany,  France, [...]

Google has updated their search results for Android and the iPhone to make mobile web searches a little bit easier for everyone. A minor yet very welcome update displays “results that load faster and are formatted to fit the screen so you don’t have to zoom or scroll side-to-side. We’ve also added touchscreen-friendly buttons and [...]

File this in the manilla folder labeled “Potential BS” but a Cell Phone Signal Tipster has just dropped a bombshell of Lil John (HHHWHHHAAAT?) that T-Mobile will be launching the G2 on January 26th, 2009. With infomercial fashion we’d like to tell you, “But wait… there’s MORE!” This T-Mobile G2 would also be HTC made [...]

If Korea IT News has it right, Samsung will be delivering Android lovers and T-Mobile/Sprint customers an alternative to the G1, releasing their first Android Phone in the 2nd quarter of 2009. Non T-Mobile/Sprint customers may be excited as well: increasing frustration from Verizon, AT&T and Sprint customers without an Android option has more and [...]

We saw Huawei join the OHA last week and we knew they had some big Android plans in 2009, but now the company has gone official with a statement that places the first Huawei Android phones in the 3rd Quarter of 2009 “Huawei can confirm that their first Android smartphone is scheduled to launch in [...]

One of the exciting elements of Android’s open souce nature is that, while we still love to guess, speculate and hypothesize what will come next – a lot of it unfolds before our very eyes. Thus is the case with Android’s Cupcake roadmap in the source code, revealing that video recording and stereo bluetooth, among [...]

We know that Motorola is putting a LOT into Android, and the company needs their “MotoDroid” to be a huge success with a stock that’s dropping and a market that’s declining. We know they hope to make a Social Phone based on Android but last we heard, the device wouldn’t come out until 2009 Winter [...]

An article on BoingBoing Gadgets today by Joel Johnson made me sigh in total disbelief. Titled “App Store, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down“, the first paragraph shows a diabolical love/hate relationship with the iPhone that illustrates why he should get a divorce with his fling and begin his lifelong romance with Android.
