We’ve read a lot about the Samsung Galaxy AKA Samsung i7500, we’ve seen the specs and pictures, but what better way to get a better glimpse at the device than a couple sweet videos? The first one is more of a picturesque look done by HDBlog.it with some sweet music blasting in the background: Rock [...]

Remember last week when we told you something was happening we just weren’t positive what? We guessed that UK based Android Phones were getting some sort of security update and US based Android Phones who had installed the UK 1.5 Cupcake for all its goodies were ALSO getting the update, mistaking it for the Official [...]

The Wall Street Journal is reporting (via CNET) that China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile carrier, is repackaging the HTC Magic and launching it as the “Ophone” next month. This tops off an exciting holiday weekend for Android where the HTC Lancaster and Motorola Heron were both leaked for launch on AT&T in August and [...]

At the end of April we showed you the Motorola Ironman, a vertical slider that seemed prepped to launch in the 3rd Quarter of 2009. On what carrier? We had no clue. But now we do as EngadgetMobile has leaked internal AT&T slides that reveal information about the Motorola IronMan, although called Motorola Heron throughout: [...]

Take the general exterior look and feel of the HTC Magic, add a slide-out keyboard in the same vein as the HTC Touch Pro and what do you have? The HTC Lancaster – AT&T’s first Android Phone scheduled to launch on August 3rd. Yup, AT&T… (just in case you thought that was a typo). In [...]

Canadian Android fans have been waiting… and waiting… and waiting…  for an Android Phone to launch in their neck of the woods. On June 2nd that wait will be over as Rogers Wireless will make the HTC Dream and HTC Magic available to its customers and that patient waiting… and waiting… will be further rewarded: [...]

Cupcake is available for download for U.S. phones. Get over to XDA when you’re ready to get your Voice Search and MyFaves back, or if you decided to patiently wait for the US version to be released on its own. The latest delay was due to a security flaw in the original OTA, T-Mobile decided [...]

Canadians will soon be enlightened by all that is Android – both the HTC Dream and HTC Magic will be coming to Rogers Wireless in the near future. Rumor has it that they’ll cost around $149.99 but release date has been a mystery. Now it appears the date is June 2nd and the phone will [...]

Seems like Haykuro has done it again, folks. Thanks to a tip off from one of our Senior Members over at Android Forums, noonehereyet, it looks like you are now able to root your Magic and continue laughing at us G1 users. When you’re feeling feisty, head on over to Android-Dls for a walk through [...]

You can add one more globally reputable electronics manufacturer to the Android train… Panasonic. At a press conference discussing their mobile phone plans for the Summer of 2009, Panasonic introduced 6 new phones for NTT DoCoMo and Softbank Mobile, but it was their announcement about Android that has analysts the most excited. “We are seriously [...]

Because of all the false alarms recently, I was hesitant to post this article so read it carefully before spreading rumors across the interwebz please. I’ve received message from numerous tipsters now that their phones are receiving Cupcake updates of some kind… both in the UK and US. Here are some of the tips: Craig [...]

On April 27th, 2009 Samsung made the rumors official: the Samsung i7500 would be the company’s first Android Phone. At least… that MODEL would be the first, but the name? A few days ago we learned that the Samsung i7500 would be called the Samsung Galaxy in France. How about everywhere else in the world? [...]

You might not know who Andy Rubin is, and that would be at the same time crazy and understandable. Andy Rubin is the Director of Mobile Platforms at Google, and in essence, is the head guy for everything Android. You might not know him because he has avoided the spotlight, instead choosing to focus on [...]

Way back in the April 2008, the Phandriod/AndroidForums days when it was little more than me talking to myself, I expressed my love for Emulators and hoped that Android would see a game emulator sooner rather than later. There are already Android game emulators available on the Android Market and elsewhere, but I’m not sure [...]

As with many up-and-coming Android Phone rumors, Acer’s Aspirations (see what I did there?) have always been apparent, but details were virtually non-existent. Then, at MWC2009 in February, we got wind of a sweet rumor that claimed Acer would have 2 Android Phones in 2009. A month later, we heard one might be called the [...]

I don’t have to tell you about Android Netbooks. But what I would like to remind you of is a particular story about the upcoming Dell Android Netbook. Earlier this month, BSQUARE sent out a press release which they retracted soon after, claiming they had ported Flash Light to Dell Netbooks running Google Android. They [...]

The same folks who brought us news of the T-Mobile G1 Bigfoot and Samsung Houdini have whipped up another batch of rumor sweetness, unveiling the Motorola Morrison from T-Mobile’s Android chart: Remember all that fuss about whether the G1 Bigfoot was made by HTC, Samsung or Motorola? I think its safe to say that these [...]

A few days ago we saw the pimped out Haykuro baked HTC Hero Build running on the G1 – I’m sure you remember that. Well now we have more… more HTC and less Android. HTC has practically made a living by taking the lackluster Windows Mobile OS and completely buttering it up and sexifying it [...]

If you’re an Android-loving Sprint customer, you’ve been waiting a LONG time to get the goods you deserve. Verizon and AT&T customers have been waiting just as long, but there is a difference: On June 6th, Sprint launches the Palm Pre. In a few short weeks, Sprint customers can get the Palm Pre with an [...]

The pinnacle of brand advertising is when your brand name is used to identify an entire product line. For example, when people tell you to “Google” something but don’t really care where you search. Some others that come to mind are Kleenex, Xerox and Q-Tip. At one point, Mapquest held that position for online mapping. [...]
