Usually we see a sexy device running WinMo or some proprietary garbage and think, “If it only had Android.” Well Archos did quite the inverse today, telling owners of the Android-based Archos 5 Internet Tablet that they could overwrite Android and load their machine with a full Linux distribution known as Angstrom Linux. ARCHOS made [...]

Google could be airing a SuperBowl ad tomorrow in 3rd quarter. Rumor has it that the commercial will be called “Parisian Love” and it documents a series of Google searches done over a long period of time that follow a long distance relationship from first glance to married with kids. Here it is: Tonight Google’s [...]

One of the coolest apps to showoff and simultaneously (at least for me) most useful apps around has to do with barcode scanning. Whether it’s he basic barcode scanner made by Googlers or something more advanced like Shop Savvy or Amazon’s App, it’s hard to deny the ability to scan a barcode and immediately tap [...]

One great feature of the Google Nexus One is the fact that it has TWO microphones. Basically, one microphone is positioned directly on the “mouthpiece” while the other microphone is positioned away from the mouth. While the first microphone captures your voice, the second captures your voice along with background noise, compares the two, and [...]

Uhohs! It appears that the Google Android Code has been deleted from the Linux Kernel. The change is explained in depth at Kroah.com but the folks at RegHardware sum it up nicely: “No one cared about the code, so it was removed,” writes Kroah-Hartman. “As I’ve stated before, code in the staging tree needs to [...]

One thing you may have missed about the Motorola Devour is that the specs list Flash Lite support. The Motorola Droid doesn’t even have Flash support! If you’ll remember, back in November when we did our Motorola Droid Media/Web Review, we told you that while the Droid didn’t currently have flash, it would be coming [...]

After one month, the Nexus One has only sold a reported 80,000 units which is a much more than a hop, skip and jump from the numbers the iPhone and Motorola Droid did upon launch. Google themselves were cautiously optimistic about sales numbers and the reason for this huge gap is OBVIOUS: the distribution model [...]

Seeing as how the Xperia X10 was SUPPOSED to be launched by now, you would expect that mostly everything about the device – expect for launch date and price – would be known. Well people still have questions… and Sony Ericsson has answers. The main questions (and answers) are about Android OS version (1.6 but [...]

Verizon Wireless continues to follow up with customers via E-Mail to ensure Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris owners are getting their all out of the device. They have already sent several E-Mails with application recommendations and they’ve just sent their latest – Droid Does Sports. BASKING RIDGE, NJ –Game-winning plays don’t just happen on [...]

Motorola must be having a blast testing out different form factors and unique layouts. They recently announced the Motorola Backflip and its rumored that in 3rd Quarter they’ll be launching the Motorola MOTOSPLIT. The folks at AndroidCommunity claim to have leaked renders of the device: The first time we saw this was just a couple [...]

There are a LOAD of twitter applications out there. I’m not sure what integer a “load” equates to… but a heckuva lot and gigantum proportion would be good synonyms. One of the more popular of those is Seesmic and with a recent update to the free app, it is set to become even more popular. [...]

So you’ve got an application that isn’t ONLY available on the iPhone – it could be on Android, WebOS, WinMo, BlackBerry and other platforms. In your “description” you may want to let users know, and heck, maybe you got an award or something in one of the platforms and want to show users you’re product [...]

We just told you about the upcoming accessories for the Nexus One spotted in a Google-made video. Well, perhaps we were getting ahead of ourselves because we hadn’t even told you about the video series itself! Right now there are only 2 “Episodes” but since you can see there are 3 more episodes on the [...]

Any of you Nexus One fans seen the video below of the creation of the Google Nexus One? Well, keep your eyes peeled because they give you a shot of some already available, and, hopefully, soon to be available accessories. There appears to be a dock with a slot to charge a spare battery also [...]

Just in case you haven’t noticed the market update for the newest edition of Google Maps, go check it out now! The newest version, 3.4.0, brings full multi touch pinch to zoom to the Motorola Droid. As a Droid owner myself, I am happy to see more multi touch applications and hopefully we will see [...]

We’re all familiar with slider phones of various forms… the LG enV, T-Mobile G1, Sidekick, Palm Pre, etc… there are a lot of different possibilities. HTC has filed a patent that could lead to a new form factor that, in the end, just accomplishes the same thing in yet another way: Apparently the clamshell uses [...]

For starters, let me just say that this is a service that I can DEFINITELY see myself using even WITHOUT the Android application. The fact that Dropbox is coming to Android is pretty awesome and if you don’t know what it is… I think you’re really going to like it. Essentially Dropbox is syncing software. [...]

Earlier today we told you about the announcement of Samsung’s first Android Phone for the Korean market, the Samsung SHW-M100S running Android 2.1. Now a few videos of the device have popped up and they look rather promising – that display looks great! Near the end of the first video they compare the iPhone to [...]

We love T-Mobile USA. Say whatever you want about them… they were the first carrier to embrace Android and they took a risk that other carriers were unwilling to take. Android was a strategic advantage to them, but without SOMEONE initially stepping up, Android never would have gained the momentum it has now. Someone needed [...]

Google continues to organize the world’s information and the next step in that process could be creating “street view” type recreations of store and business interiors. According to a retailer called “Oh Nuts” in New York, a Google representative entered the store and took pictures with the camera positioned every 6 feet. Here are some [...]
