Usually when a mobile carrier/manufacturer needs to “clarify” something in terms of dates or updates its about delaying, pushing back, or doing something else you don’t want them to do.

It’s always great to see Google staying on top of the developer relationship side of the Android equation and today the company announced a few new things that should make devs happy.

So, many of you have probably made note of the website that has been pimped on every picture and video in recent Nexus news.  I for one have had their page and YouTube channel on my scan list for days – as to try to bring you whatever new details they gave as soon as [...]

So far 2009 has proven to be a great year for Android but, according to Kaspersky, 2010 could be a more trying time. Not because of a lack of awesome devices. Not because the Android OS won’t move forward significantly. But because hackers will be targeting Android users with malware and viruses. From a Kaspersky [...]

HTC has just put four free widgets on Market. These are for Hero and Eris only – naturally Sense UI equipped devices.  I guess this answers our question from yesterday! Dice: Tap the dice first, and then simply shake (do not throw!) your phone to “throw” the dice. This widget is only for HTC Hero [...]

Surprise surprise, the Milestone’s firmware has been modified as needed and gently placed upon the Droid. Full multitouch support and all. As the engadget guys state – this should come as no shocker to the Android community. It will however, probably come as a welcomed event.  It’s described as “beautiful” and “stable” and should be [...]

Ok. I’m going to just say it – I’m really eager to see Fennec make it to Android.  Lately I’ve been seeing a few articles on it, watching a couple videos, and subsequently my mouth has been watering.  I’m not even a Firefox power user ( but I do have a few Add-0ns I use) [...]
