I feel bad for BlockBuster, I truly do. Most of it is for selfish nostalgic reasons: I can remember walking to the local shopping center with parents and/or buddies, finding a VHS – or later on DVD – bringing it home, popping it in, and watching a good PG-13 movie. At the time I thought [...]

If you live in the UK it’ll only be a few more days until you can waltz into a local T-Mobile UK retail store and buy exactly what your little heart… wants – an HTC Desire. On the TMO UK Support Forums a team member has made it official by confirming an in-store date of [...]

The folks at Swedish website Feber.se have gotten their lucky little hands on the HTC Legend, and with some jam band music in the background, they pull out the HD stops – and the Legend out of the box – as they explore the ins and outs of the phone. Makes me wish the HTC [...]

We haven’t yet told you about the Motorola Beam Smartbook which, in January, was said to be launching in the summer for AT&T. Why? Because at the time the Beam was running on Windows CE. LaptopMag caught up with the Beam a couple days ago and SURPRISE – it now has the pleasure of doing [...]

When we read tech specs for products released by large, reputable companies, we tend to take their word for it that they’re being honest. I mean are we REALLY going to grab some tools, shimmy open the device, and make sure we’re getting what we paid for? No. Well…. maybe some of us, but that’s [...]

China Unicom has a few Android phones in the pipeline (Motorola & Samsung) but, due to the search giant’s cold-search-war with China, they’ll be removing Google as the default search from their Android-based handsets. Ouch. (image from joyoftech.com) You can’t blame them, and even if they left Google as the default search, failure for it [...]

I’m not sure you can get more detailed a comparison between the Nexus One and iPhone when you’re putting the phones head-to-head and trying to determine who has the advantage where. The thorough analysts at ifixit.com hit me up with an interesting graphic that turn the whole comparison inside out, exploring every nook and cranny. [...]

Admob just put out another of their oh-so-interesting reports, this time around looking at year-over-year mobile internet traffic from three main categories: (1) feature phones, (2) smartphones, and (3) MIDs. Two things really struck me as amazing. First of all, MIDs enjoyed the largest (percentage) growth as a category, probably because of their limited use [...]

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s the Dell Streak/Mini 5! Nevermind – they prefer to call it “The Dell 5 Inch Capacitive Uh Screen Device”. But whatever you want to call it should have no bearing on this: a demo of the Dell Android straight from CTIA courtesy of TheStreet. They stick the Dell [...]

Knocking Live Video had to pull some strings to get their iPhone-to-iPhone streaming video on the App Store but alas it’s there. Now the company is working on an Android application that will allow users to stream video between an Android and an iPhone. Pretty neat, right? Now imagine what Knocking Live Video could accomplish [...]

The Sprint HTC EVO 4G has a few features that no other mainstream Android Phones have: 4G connectivity, a front facing camera for video chat, and HDMI Video Out. Unfortunately, current versions of Android don’t support these features in terms of developer tools/information. Until they do, Sprint has bridged the gap by offering an EVO [...]

If you couldn’t sense the sarcasm in my “only” I’m informing you now – $1000 is an absolutely OUTRAGEOUS price to pay for an unlocked smartphone. Even devices at the tippety top of the totem don’t go for that much off contract, but the Xperia X10 is a little different. See… the Sony Ericsson Xperia [...]

If you could care less about luxuries necessities like 3G, bluetooth, and GPS and just want Android 2.1, Flash and HTC Sense on your Motorola Droid, then some in depth hackery might soon get the job done. Over at AllDroid they’ve managed to accomplish the task and capture the success on video: For the advanced, [...]

Seeing as how the Motorola i1 is the very first Push-To-Talk (PTT) Android phone, I’m MOST interest in seeing this feature demonstrated. Grab two i1′s and show us how they communicate using android and the PTT features, right? That’d be nice, but we’ll have to settle for a tour of the phone’s other features. They [...]

A couple Android phones had the proverbial red carpet rolled out for them in the mindset of CTIA-goers yesterday: the Samsung Galaxy S and the Sprint HTC EVO 4G. We just got done rounding up some videos of the former and now we’re moving onto the latter. Here are some “moving pictures” – as old [...]

The masses were at CTIA 2010 and gravitated towards a few new Android handsets, the Samsung Galaxy S being one of them. We took an intergalactic ride around the interwebz looking for Samsung Galaxy S videos and impressions and we lay our findings before you: Revision3 MobileCrunch called it a beauty, saying its the most [...]

Well look what I found! Sprint’s YouTube Channel has a video of the HTC EVO 4G that plays like a television commercial. A far too simple television commercial for the product at hand, and sometimes leaning into PowerPoint territory, but it gets the point across. Sprint also introduced some much more… polished videos/commercials to promote [...]

Maybe you’re not in Vegas with the tens of thousands of electronics but wish you were. Maybe you wish you could have been sitting there live watching Sprint CEO Dan Hesse unveil the first 4G Android phone in the HTC EVO 4G. Maybe there is something called YouTube that will let you watch it after [...]

A carrier hasn’t yet been announced for the Kyocera Zio, but all signs are pointing to Cricket. In addition to the phone having the right bands and Cricket being a pretty good partner of Kyocera, HowardForums has been hiding some hints. In the Cricket forum about “huge fundamental changes” leaked in February and rumored for [...]

On the supreme high-end of the spectrum you have the HTC EVO 4G, announced today and immediately taking the crown as the illest Android on the planet. On the other end of the spectrum you have the T-Mobile Pulse Mini, the silent but deadly Android that sneaks up on you with low, crouching specs and [...]
