Is the MotorolaDroid/MotoDroid finally the official name of the Sholes? Also.. I spy a firmware version 2.0! Whether that will hold true is completely unknown [...]

Well what do we have here? A whole HOARD of crazy Motorola Android rumors! Alan, a Phandroid commenter on another Sholes article, pointed us to an article on Dialaphone that claims to have dug up a Motorola “Comeback Roadmap” for Q4 2009 and Q1 2010: Holy crap! A Motorola Sholes Tablet?!?! Alright lets back up [...]

At an event in London, Acer just announced the first ever 1GHz Snapdragon-based Android Phone – the Acer Liquid A1.

What happens when a Verizon retailer needs to switch a customer’s information from one phone to another? They use a little gadget called CelleBrite.

The mythical Android Netbook… a creature which has for over a year lived amongst unicorns, hobbits, the lochness monster and big foot.

What an insane and agonizing few days its been. Phandroid and AndroidForums have both been down or painfully slow for several days and gosh golly YOU WANT ANSWERS! So allow me to explain… It was only 2 months ago that we gave away $100 to celebrate Phandroid generating 1 million pageviews in a month. The [...]

A new “day in the life” video promo has been spotted for the Samsung Galaxy and its rather original. I definitely like the low-tech approach to highlight a high-tech device and its kind of just “fun” in general: The tipster who sent this in (Thanks Nico!) explained it (or translated it) best: New viral video [...]

If you’ve got the G1 or MyTouch 3G on T-Mobile USA you’ve probably already got your Android 1.6 Donut update. But what about the rest of the world?

If you’re considering the T-Mobile Pulse you may want to head over to a detailed review of the device just posted by Engadget. You can order it now and it ships in the next few days, so now would be a good time to do your homework on it. Summarizing their thoughts/impressions: Solid hardware, responsive [...]

It’s hard to project numbers, statistics and percentages in such a rapidly evolving industry but when its your job to do that sort of thing, you don’t have much of a choice.

Before we get carried away, keep in mind this is 100% rumor, based on a tip that Gizmodo got from a seemingly knowledgeable tipster. What isn’t rumor is that a Barnes & Noble eReader passed through the FCC. What IS rumor is that the device could be running Android. Why an eBook Reader with Android [...]

Count another manufacturer in on the game – Kyocera has announced they’ll be producing an Android Phone to launch in 2010.

The kid brother of the Samsung Galaxy, the Samsung Galaxy Lite, doesn’t have much to hide any longer, except perhaps for its real launch name. A few sites are claiming it will be called the Samsung Galaxy Spica or Samsung Spica but the way things have been going lately, who knows. What we DO know [...]

Only a few hours ago we passed along word that the Dell Mini 3i Android phone, or something very similar, could make its way to the American market. Surprising considering we heard that pretty much every carrier dissed the Dell Droid to itty bitty little pieces. So who bit? AT&T according to the Wall Street [...]

Pretty much every knowledgeable Verizon customer is eagerly anticipating the announcement of the Motorola Sholes. We haven’t heard anything specific except a promise from Verizon/Google that something is coming, but the interwebz is working hard trying to dig up whatever dirt is possible.

In case you haven’t yet noticed the Samsung InstinctQ is no more.
