Online retailers have it so much easier, don’t they? Just slap up a picture and a price and you’re ready to go. That’s exactly what Amazon Germany did with the HTC Desire and HTC Legend, making them one of the very first sites to say they’ll sell the phones – they’ve also included prices! As [...]

People in the UK would be glad to hear that the BBC plans on releasing an official app for Android to deliver their core services such as BBC news and BBC sport, possibly even their interactive ‘catch up’  TV service – the iplayer. According to their press release the BBC will first initially release an [...]

I appreciate that General Mobile decided to go a more refined route when naming their second Android handset. Their first was called the DSTL1 and it didn’t exactly “stick” – but the 2nd attempt does a little bit of piggybacking on another mobile-tech device by calling itself the Touch Stone. The company had this on [...]

Even some of the geekiest geeks can’t explain how the innards of your mobile phone circuitry combine, integrate and synergize to perform the tasks, run the apps, and play the games we so supremely love. But nevermind that – we all know math and love results and that’s all you need to know to appreciate [...]

When you hear “Droid users are eagerly anticipating the Android 2.1 OTA” many will assume you’re automatically talking about Motorola Droid users. But it’s HTC Droid Eris users on Verizon Wireless that MAY be getting their update first. A limited number of reports of a 2.1 update have proliferated across the interwebz, sparking rumor that [...]

Last month we heard the great (but inaccurate) news that Firefox for Android would launch a beta in February. With that rumor debunked, all we knew was that the company was making progress and we would see SOMETHING at SOME point. There are still 10 months in the year, but at least you can be [...]

When you’re dealing with a mobile device you want to fit in your pocket, “the more the merrier” isn’t the mantra when discussing screen sizes… or number of screens. But that doesn’t mean the 3-display Android prototype Texas Instruments had on display at MWC 2010 doesn’t open the door to other opportunities. With 2 screens [...]

Google Goggles, despite being a new and unpolished product with a limited application, is an awesome concept that will almost undoubtedly grow some legs in the near future. At MWC 2010 a Google Engineer shows one way that – RIGHT NOW – Google Goggles can make an impact with language/character recognition combined with translation of [...]

The HTC Legend frame is made out of a single piece of metal, hence the “unibody” label its gotten at MWC. This means no “seams” or “lines” that look like pieces of a puzzle coming together – just one, solid piece of artwork. Some are calling it the best looking phone at Mobile World Congress [...]

We’ve seen some really interesting Android phones discovered this week at the Mobile world Congress (MWC 2010) in Barcelona – oh how I wish I could be there…..  Well to pile on the good news, some ‘Top picks from this years event’ are already available for pre-order from none other than popular online UK e-retailer [...]

(Updated: See bottom) We’re giving away a Nexus One! Despite our good intentions, our last contest hurt some feelings, so we’ve changed the rules (and our approach) in an attempt to be more accommodating and understanding of others. Time to put on your funny hat and game face on folks – there’s a hot piece [...]

NOTICE: This contest has been ammended and you can now see the updated rules of entry here. WHY? While the “Hitler Meme” is hilarious to me and millions of others, apparently there is a large population that is offended by the use of Hitler in any comical light whatsoever. I could claim they’re being overly [...]

Yesterday when the T-Mobile Pulse Mini got announced and demoed, we were excited that a budget android phone would come stocked with Android 2.1. What we DIDN’T know was the price, but ElectricPig is saying the phone will cost £100 on the Pay-As-You-Go plan – a pretty sweet deal! But they also so they company [...]

It would have been nice to be in Barcelona, Spain watching HTC announce the Legend and Desire with a front row seat looking at Peter Chou. But like the Rolling Stones say, “you can’t always get what you want,” but if you try, you can get the video on YouTube: I was surprised how QUIET [...]

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was announced a LONG time ago but still hasn’t been released. At Mobile World Congress the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro were also announced, so now we’ve got THREE unreleased Xperia phones. Not for long, because BGR is saying that the X10 is 100% heading to AT&T in the [...]

Google CEO Eric Schmidt delivered a keynote speech at Mobile World Congress 2010 that, while not really unveiling any new products or services, positioned the company as a mobile powerhouse whom are looking out for the interests of consumers: A device that is not connected is not interesting, it is literally lonely. An application that [...]

Well isn’t this a treat! We’re used to delays and rarely early arrivals, but TELUS has just surprised us by making the Motorola Milestone available ahead of schedule. The Milestone is better known in the United States as the Motorola Droid and sales figures have been impressive to say the least – I’m sure the [...]

We had heard before that the Motorola Devour would be available in “select channels” starting February 25th but weren’t exactly sure what that meant. Now we are. Best Buy Mobile has just issued a press release announcing the availability of the Motorola Devour on February 25th with the pre-order starting February 16th. Oh yeah, today [...]

Verizon Wireless USED to be one of the most closed, protective carriers on the planet, suffocating features so their users would have to pay extra for them. With the introduction of the Motorola Droid, that paradigm seemed to shift in a HUGE way. People were fearful they would limit Android – but they didn’t. Now, [...]

When Sony Ericsson announced the Xperia X10 Mini and the Xperia X10 Mini Pro there wasn’t any word of price or carrier. Even today, no announcements have been made. But browsing the MWC showroom floor, the folks at Fonehome spotted the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini at the Vodafone booth! With that tidbit of evidence [...]
