Whether you’re at a Michael Jackson kumbaya fest singing “We Are The World” while swaying back and forth with your lighter up or rocking out to a heavy metal moshfest heading banging with your lighter in the air, BIC has just launched an app for Android that allows you to do so in your full [...]

I wanted to take a quick minute to point out an article today titled “Android Is Doomed” by Galen Gruman at InfoWorld/PCWorld. How anyone with any morsel of knowledge regarding the mobile phone industry could use “Doomed” in the same sentence as “Android” when writing an opinion piece is… I’d say ignorant at best. So [...]

Android has been the talk of the town the last year or so and lookie lookie who wants in on the action – Microsoft. They had already released their “Tag” application for WinMo, iPhone, BlackBerry and Symbian and now of course Android. Here is the description from Android Market: Microsoft Tag lets you discover information [...]

Verizon Wireless fans are eagerly awaiting many upcoming Android devices including the Nexus One and HTC Incredible. If you’re awaiting word on both, the 55+ page “Official HTC Incredible Thread” is starting to reveal a LOT of goodies. First of all, remember that nasty Nexus One multi-touch mixup we told you about yesterday? Verizon is [...]

We got 98 submissions to the Nexus One Funny Video Contest, narrowed it down to 27 of our favorites, had admins/mods/guides/premium members vote on their favorites and we’ve arrived at 5 finalists. The winner of this very vote will get the coveted Nexus One, 2nd place will get a $75 Amazon Gift Card, 3rd place [...]

Last year at Google I/O, Romain Guy showed us a neat little Android Application called “Gesture Search” that allowed you to write shorthand of sorts to quickly jump to your intended destination. Think of your finger as a stylus and a single letter as a command. Or better yet, just check out these demonstration videos [...]

If you’re an HTC Hero owner on Orange’s network and think you’re going crazy because you can’t seem to find a specific app in Android Market that you KNOW exists… no, you’re not going crazy. The latest Orange HTC Hero update is blocking access to some paid applications in Android Market that seem to have [...]

It’s nice to just sit there in your hammock, slurping an umbrella drink and getting OTA updates as they fly every which way, but sometimes life isn’t such a breeze. HTC Droid Eris and Motorola Droid owners for example, have been incredibly anxious to get the latest and greatest, and the guys at XDA Devs [...]

We knew about this back in December 2009 but for some reason the interwebz has just now deemed it newsworthy, so we’re reminding you – we didn’t miss it! With almost every Android handset out there a consistent theme underlies some of the core applications installed by default – Google. Whether it’s the Google Search [...]

Were you intrigued by the ARCHOS 7 Home Tablet? Our buddy Charbax from ArchosFans got a first hand look at the device and played with it on video for our delight. And quick sidenote – holy crap this guy is excited! The device seems really nice and with a 7-inch screen, Wi-Fi and 720p video [...]

Complaints of multi-touch problems on Apps and Games have been quite predominant with the Nexus One. Many people directed complaints to developers of the specific app or game but it appears that could be misguided criticism. Robert Green of Battery Powered Games decided to do a little test and created an app that only intends [...]

As you’ve probably already read, Google has been sending out E-Mails to top developers asking them to fill out a form to receive a free Motorola Droid or Nexus One based on the “Android Seeding Program”. To make the cut you needed an application with 5,000+ unique downloads and at least a 3.5 star rating. [...]

We’ve seen and heard the “Android Hub” concept and even speculated on Android’s use in home appliances/entertainment, automotive and elsewhere. Most of it has been speculation and few products on the market venture from the mobile phone and tablet equation. Differentiation IS coming and Motorola will be adding to the momentum this summer when they [...]

Yelp has just updated their application in Android Market (V1.4) to allow for bookmarking businesses (synced) and drafting reviews of businesses directly from your phone. In a slightly odd twist, you can’t actually publish the written reviews from your phone and instead have to submit the already-written review from a regular computer. But after explaining [...]

We’ve seen the Apple Press Release announcing the lawsuit and we’ve gotten a short statement from Google defending HTC and Android innovators – but what about HTC? They have in fact made a statement essentially saying they’re not making a statement – they didn’t even know about this lawsuit until we did! “HTC only learned [...]

Did you know that your Android Phone just might be able to use a USB keyboard with a few dollars for spare parts and some elbow grease?  I’m not completely sure WHY you would have an Android Phone while lugging around a USB keyboard instead of just getting something with a more fitting form-factor for [...]

Perhaps Apple sued HTC, but Google and the Android OS are certainly within Apple’s cross hairs when it comes to the most recent legal spat. Did you expect Google to stay silent? Of course not. While HTC has yet to publish any public statement, Google contacted TechCrunch to stake their ground: “We are not a [...]

We told you a little bit about the LG LU2300 in late February and its eagerness towards augmented reality. What we DIDN’T show you was a picture of the phone which, that same day, popped up at MobileTechWorld. Luckily the guys at IntoMobile are on the ball and dug it up from the “not-too-archived” archives: [...]

We’ve gotten leak after leak suggesting that March 10th would be the day of reckoning for the CLIQ XT and now that we’re officially 1-week away from that date we get another unofficial confirmation that the 10th it is: One more week for the non-keyboarded CLIQ which makes me wonder: did they choose the name [...]

Motorola just published a “triple play” press release of sorts, announcing Motorola BLUR on 3 handsets (Backflip, DEXT, QUENCH) to be available on all three major Canadian carriers (Rogers, Bell, TELUS). So I guess that would make it a double triple-play? We already know pretty much everything about each of these handsets and we’re all [...]
