One of the most discussed applications shown at the Nexus One launch was Google Earth. Well, good news for all you Nexus One owners out there. Google Earth is now available for download in the Android Market! The application appears to be only for devices running on Android 2.1 and doesn’t show up in the [...]

One man’s loss is another man’s gain, and in the case of two contrasting Application Store ideologies, the iPhone App Store and Android Market each have their fair share of ups and downs. Whereas Android offers a free market where consumers decide what is good and bad, right and wrong – Apple has gone the [...]

If you weren’t in Barcelona, Spain for Mobile World Congress 2010 then you most certainly missed Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s hour-long keynote speech. He talked about the growth of mobile, Google’s interest in helping the industry continue in the right direction, and highlights some up-and-coming opportunities Google is presenting in that space. The complete video [...]

Before the end of February you’ll be able to grab the beta Gowalla Android Application from Android Market. For now, if you’re desperate to get going, TechCrunch has the details on how you can download the Beta .1 version of the socially empowering app (hint: download APK directly here or scan the barcode here). Gowalla [...]

The number of “This-Day-In-History” websites on the web is mind blowing – but what if you’re a history buff who enjoys getting that type of stuff on the go? The AP have you covered – they just launched an app called “Today In History” on Android Market that is an incredibly polished application showing events [...]

Say hello to my lil’ friend! Check out the Nexus One packing a full clip of Sense ammunition after being ported over from the HTC Desire: The work is from Paul at Modaco who, a few days ago, showed us he was working on the mod. He followed through, and detailed instructions of how to [...]

It looks like ARCHOS are keeping on top of their Android obligations and future opportunities: in addition to providing a firmware update to the ARCHOS 5, word out of Germany is that the company will soon launch two new Android Tablets. Carrypad.com heard from the company’s German PR firm who made a statement translating to: [...]

The most powerful Android Phone on the market and HTC Sense – a pretty killer combination – and the guys at GSMarena provide a quick 2-minute overview that is sure to leave you drooling: They show the optical joystick being used to scroll home screens which seems a little odd given the huge touchscreen above [...]

If you’re an Android Application developer, you should be aware of user experience, ensuring that various things are loading quickly and running smoothly. Unfortunately, developers have no control over how quick the customer’s current mobile/data connection is and therefore the user experience can suffer by no fault of their own. A company called WeFi is [...]

Motorola has over and over claimed that they need to put all their efforts and energy into one clear vision and that vision has been Android and MOTOBLUR. Doing so has pretty much saved the company (or their division) from extinction – they can thank Android. But rather than continue down the path that saved [...]

I totally agree with Richard Lai’s suggestion that one of the first things you should notice about the Dell Mini 5 Phone/MID is it’s size – without question. But I have to wonder how he chose to explain its size by holding it in front of his head and saying, “As you can see… it’s [...]

When people get excited they tend to act differently. We’re all excited by the Dell Mini 5 but this video by T3 ranks as one of the more weird gadget reviews. Maybe the guy with the “DellIcious” sign throughout the entire 5 minute video is just star-struck and speechless and resorts to this as a [...]

In a logical turn of events, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that its looking to add their MOTOBLUR application to TV boxes as early as next year. CEO Sanjay Jha admitted the company is looking for ways to combine the features of set-top boxes and mobile phones soon after the 2 units were, together, [...]

This could potentially be a biggie: Om Malik asked Skype and Verizon CEO’s about the details of their deal and whether or not Skype would work with other US carriers, but they dodged the question. They can evade but they cannot hide I suppose – Malik tapped some of his own sources who had some [...]

While 3G connectivity becomes the norm, techie consumers and carriers themselves have their eyes on 4G technology. Sprint already has WiMax 4G internet service in 27 markets, but taking that to mobile phone users – who are… mobile – is a different story. Sprint was rumored to be launching a WiMax 4G phone in late [...]

While on my occasional browse of the Android Market I noticed something that hadn’t appeared before – on my market at least. There were promotional images for some apps. So I’ve done some digging and it seems others with the Vodafone UK HTC Magic are having the same thing happening for them.  Here’s an example [...]

I have a feeling the HTC Desire is gong to be big in the UK – We recently spread the word UK networks Orange and T-mobile will be stocking the Android 2.1 based phones and now I’m pleased to tell you O2 , Vodafone and 3 have joined the ranks offering it too! This means [...]

Big props goes out to our friend Chas who sent us this video this morning of a Motorola Droid running on the “official” Android 2.1 update. Apparently, Pete over at Android Overdrive got a hold of what he is reporting to be the official 2.1 Droid update. Chas says: Developer for the Droid, Pete, has [...]

Nothing screams device launch like oversized promotional displays and that’s exactly what we’re seeing from the Motorola Devour today. An anonymous tipster sent us the following picture of a larger-than-life Motorola Devour that would be more suitable for the giant in Jack And The Beanstalk: In true Phandroid form, the picture above was snapped with [...]

What do you get when you combine Barcode Scanner by ZXing Barcode, Google Goggles and the “Shopping Tab” on Google.com? The Google Shopping Android Application which just launched on Android Market! I quickly downloaded the app and gave it a quick spin in this on-the-fly hands-on review; I literally had downloaded the application 5 minutes [...]
