Verizon Wireless is launching the Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris tomorrow, but that hasn’t stopped BestBuy from pre-selling the first and plopping the latter on their website. That’s right, the Droid Eris just popped up on the BestBuy.com website listed for $499.99: It’s only a matter of time until that “Coming Soon” is replaced [...]

With all the Droid talk, I started to think about all the perks owning one entails: Android 2.0 5 MP dual flash LED 3.7" multitouch capacitive screen GPS Android Turn by Turn and many other features.

[...]

The T-Mobile Pulse is currently available in some parts of the world, but those parts don’t include the United States and Canada. And although tomorrow will see the 3rd of 4 American carriers get an Android Phone, AT&T still sits robotless and iPhoned-out. But a recent FCC filling suggests some of this might change. You [...]

It seems to be the consensus that Verizon will be launching the best Android Phone to date when they unveil the Motorola Droid tomorrow – and some would even consider it the best phone of ALL phones.

There’s a certain novelty and even vanity about being the first to possess something many want. Well for those who recently paid $200 for the CLIQ that novelty is about to wear off. Wirefly.com just announced they will be selling the CLIQ for $120 (40% discount) for those opening a new line or account with [...]

I know there is only one game of the Major League Baseball World Series left – that is, assuming (read: hoping) Andy Pettitte and the Yankees defeat Pedro Martinez and the Phillies tonight – but this application is too cool to not share. You can only download the beta during the World Series and then [...]
