It looks like one of the members at XDA has his hands on the Google Nexus One and you know what that means… T-R-O-U-B-L-E. And that spells awesome if you’re an Android fan. One of the coolest cosmetic things to come out of it is the video that plays when you turn your Nexus One [...]

Last week we heard about the first Motorola Android Phone headed to China – the Motorola Zhiling for China Mobile due on December 28th. But Chinese rival China Telekom looks to be getting their own MotoDroid – the Motorola Zeppelin XT800.  The phone packs GSM and CDMA so it will work on China Telecom’s up [...]

The Young Male Smart Person Publication (BGR) has gotten ahold of 2 new Google Nexus One images the first of which is an ultra-clear picture of the phone’s face while the second puts it side-by-side next to the G1 for a thickness comparison: That thickness picture is pretty impressive. It looks like its thinner than [...]

Warning: This is a rumor and ONLY a rumor coming from an anonymous source through AndroidAndMe and should be taken as just that – a rumor. Google is clearly hoping to do some “different” things with the Nexus One Google Phone, especially in terms of altering the status quo in terms of distribution. If their [...]

You might initially be thinking “why would I want to root an ebook reader?” but a quick glance at the pieces of the puzzle give every indication. Android 1.5 on a MicroSD card, AT&T 3G modem, Wi-Fi, capacitive touchscreen, e-Ink display and the ability to do “everything a rooted Android phone can do.” Sounds delicious [...]

We saw the HTC Legend leaked in a 2010 roadmap last week and now we’re getting a prettier rendering and a few more details. First of all, considering the literal definitions of “Hero” and “Legend” it isn’t all that surprising for the Legend to become a Hero successor. Based on the looks and specs it [...]

The Google Phone. Or shall we call it the Nexus One? Or maybe Phone88? Regardless of name, the gPhone plot has thickened over the last 24 hours and we’re about to serve you what’s good. The latest scoop of the Google Phone soup: First of all, Peter Kafka of AllThingsD reports Google will sell its [...]

It looks like Google saw what everyone was saying about the GPhone and decided to chime in, claiming the “Google Phone” handouts are nothing more than a way to test “innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features.” They failed address that its been identified as [...]

The myth is become a legend and the legend is making its way into the hands of Google employees. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, tweets and other messages from around the interwebz are claiming that the fabled Google Phone is being given to a large number of Google employees to test out. The overwhelming conclusion? [...]

We’ve seen and heard about the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 since we were about X10 years old. A few short weeks ago the company held events to showcase the phone and we already knew it was coming 1st quarter 2010… although Sony Ericsson initially (and accidentally) let slip a February 10th release date. So why [...]

A few weeks ago we saw a private beta Qik for Android made available by the live-streaming video company. If you weren’t one of the first ones to request a beta-invite chances are you didn’t get one – they were inundated with requests. But now the ability to record and stream high resolution videos is [...]

If you’re a Sprint customer with an HTC Hero or Samsung Moment you’re probably stuck with Android 1.5 and wondering when the heck you can get a robot-injected 2.0 shot, right? Well load up the freezer and stock your basement with emergency disaster supplies because Sprint just tweeted that the update is coming “roughly 1H [...]

Remember how Google blocked Navigation on phones in Europe and pretty much everywhere else besides the United States? We wondered how long it would take for service to be restored thanks to a clever developer who hacked through a solution. Guess what? It’s heeeeeeeere! Brut.all from XDA-Devs posted updated APKs that solve the problem and [...]

Put Android on a device meant for gaming, provide HDMI Out connectivity, load up a sweet game, connect it to a big freaking TV and what do you get? The potential for an amazingly kick butt gaming experience. Decide for yourself as this guy plays Speed Forge 3D on the ODROID: When I initially saw [...]

Many months ago there was a mysterious Android MID that popped up at Pocketables – that was back in August. On September 25th it was unveiled as the Ramos W7 MID at a press event in Shenzhen, China and PCPOP (translated) was able to capture some of the action: We also got our first taste [...]

A quick description of this phone will leave you wondering, “Why in the hell would anyone want this?” The phone has obviously been designed to look like the MyTouch 3G. But under the hood you get Windows Mobile 6.5. Excuse me while I throw up in my mouth. It isn’t a totally terrible device, I [...]

The Acer Liquid A1 currently launches with Android 1.6 but if you’re craving Android 2.0 fear not – it will start shipping in 2010 with 2.0 in tact. That would LIKELY mean that carriers will also push OTA updates to bring your A1 up to date but that can’t be promised. Sometimes these tricky characters [...]

If you didn’t already know, the Acer Liquid A1 is already available in the good old UK and it really is a nice looking phone. Resting on a 1GHz snapdragon processor how can you complain? Easily, if you don’t live in the UK I suppose. But Americans will be relieved to know that the device [...]

Business folks and economic intellects will tell you there are plenty of ways to artificially stimulate demand. If you ask me, that is EXACTLY what happened with Expansys and the Motorola Milestone. Realizing the commercials sucked and the Droid-to-Milestone comparisons might not be made among the average consumers, I’m sure Expansys worried how well the [...]

The Motorola Droid campaign was epic, from the day they started teasing it as DroidDoes  through its current state of Red Eye commercials that highlight the device’s features in a manly, edgy way. While the device itself is incredible, a TON of credit has to go to the team that made this marketing campaign POP. [...]
