There have been some REALLY cool homemade Android products out there – many of which I’ve considered buying myself. My favorites thus far are the Android Robot Figurines/Actio-Figures, Android Plush Bag, and knitted Android Doll. But today’s story goes to show that even the simplest of robot related goods can cause a geeky stirrup so [...]

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and likely the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro will launch with Android 1.6 but we’ve already confirmed it will soon be upgradeable to Android 2.1. Good to know. But between now and the end of the year, they’ll also be offering an upgrade to Android 2.2. What exactly is [...]

Let’s just say I would be incredibly surprised if this actually happened and the fact that the source of this rumor is BerryScoop – a non-Android site with little proven history – I can’t say I’m very confident in the potential they nailed this rumor. They claim that when the HTC Incredible lands on Verizon [...]

Last month we learned that Verizon Wireless was officially partnering with Skype to bring an unprecedented feature set to mobile phone users in America. Exactly what that would entail? We weren’t told – we were just told some sort of integration would make it all worthwhile and it wasn’t hard to guess the options. Now [...]

Polarbit is the company behind popular Android games like Raging Thunder and Wave Blazer. In fact, they’ve got 5 Android Games (ToonWarz, Raging Thunder, Wave Blazer, Armageddon Squadron, Iron Sight) with 2 more on the way (Warzone, Global Race). A post on the company’s website indicates they’ve just surpassed 1 million downloads… THAT is an [...]

Only a week ago we told you that Rogers would be getting the Samsung Galaxy Spica in late March but it looks like the carrier is ramping up their Android game, adding another member to their robot fleet today. That’s right – the Galaxy Spica has come early – a pleasant surprise! The Galaxy Spica [...]

An interesting debate started at AndroidForums over a series of applications called SexyBody_v# by a developer named “Sex Disney”. An AF member was searching Android Market for “Disney” in an attempt to find applications for their daughter and what came up? An app icon of naked chicks for SexyBody_v1 through SexyBodyv7: Even worse, click through [...]

When you think of entering a science project into a school science fair what do you think of? Quick! Let me guess… a volcano that creates a lava flow from a chemical reaction, right? Well maybe one day soon the “default” science fair project will be created with an Android Phone acting as an enabler [...]

Ideas, thoughts and concepts about what a mobile web browser should be, how it should work, what it should include, how it should be designed and how it should act are all questions which have been brought up relatively recently. And thus the answer continues to evolve.  A company called Jig.jp claims to have started [...]

You’ve probably seen an application called “Where” on Android Market, and if you haven’t, you should definitely check it out. Whereas apps like Yelp!, Movies and Zagat attempt to offer geo-based apps on specific needs, Where tries to be your end-all be-all when you need to know ANYTHING about the world immediately around you. The [...]

The Motorola CLIQ XT is a keyboardless version of the original CLIQ with some improvements such as Flash Lite. I won’t give you the phone’s complete run down but if you want to be “sold” then I suggest you listen to a quick pitch. But what I WILL show you is two pictures from two [...]

So you’re a T-Mobile employee and you’re standing in an elevator with a customer for 60 seconds. You desperately want to sell them the Motorola CLIQ XT but aren’t exactly sure how to make the sale in that limited amount of time. No problem – that’s what training (and pamphlets) are for: The above is [...]

The HTC Legend is, by mostly all accounts, a stunning piece of mobile technology that performs quite well. It’ll most likely immigrate to America at some point, but as of March 23rd, UK Android fans will have first crack at the Hero successor. It seems as if the price starts at £376 including VAT. Which [...]

Conspiracy theorists start your engines! In what Vodafone is calling “an isolated incident”, the carrier sold a mobile phone pre-loaded with malware which – when connected to a computer – attempted to send personal information back to the malware creator: The interesting thing is that when she plugged the phone to her PC via USB [...]

A lot of people have been asking why Apple sued HTC rather than suing Google, Motorola or a whole group of Android-incorporating manufacturers. It seems John Paczkowski from AllThingsD may have stumbled upon the answer: HTC holds the fewest patents of notable manufacturers, putting them in a precarious situation by which to defend themselves. More [...]

Don’t lie – you love you some 3D games. Android has an undeniably HUGE future when it comes to gaming and even though plenty of 2D games rock the house, it’s clear that insanely rich, graphically beautiful animation can be accomplished on the high tech phones we’re carrying around. Yesterday’s launch of Android NDK (Native [...]

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google and Dish Network are working together on a set-top box that will contain Google software, allowing users to search their local listings in addition to the web, directly from their television. Sounds like a neat idea… but imagine if you throw Android into the mix. Press your [...]

The HTC Supersonic hasn’t been officially announced but if you take a close look at this video it seems that an official announcement is inevitable: With a 4.3-inch display and WiMax (4G) headed to Sprint, the Supersonic is definitely going to make quite a splash. It has the curvature we’ve come to expect from HTC [...]

When most people think about using an Android Phone for some type of “remote” car/truck/robot project they think of using the phone as a remote control to operate another piece of hardware. But not Tim Heath and Ryan Hickman – they wanted the Android Phone to be the actual brain of their bot-child: This means [...]

I have a never-ending catalog of application ideas saved in my memory – one day I hope I can assemble a team to put some of them into action. One of my dream ideas is so close to fruition that I might as well let the cat out of the bag; in fact, I’m sure [...]
