3UK might be late to the Desire game across the pond, but that doesn’t stop them from getting giddy about releasing the phone to their patient-heavy customers. 3UK announced this morning that they’d indeed be carrying the HTC Desire. They’re set to offer 2 versions of the phone: an unbranded version to push it out [...]

Shortly after the news that we’d be getting Adobe’s long-sought Flash Player 10.1 some point in the second half of this year, Adobe announced that they’re accepting public beta sign-ups for users who want to get a taste of the premium multimedia driver early on. Sign-up is quick and easy – all you have to [...]

Last week’s official announcement of HTC’s Droid Incredible for Verizon came at the 99% Conference. This morning we are treated to a little demo by HTC’s Keith Nowak that the folks at Nerdstalker captured on [slightly blurry] video at the event. Showcased is a bit of Sense UI and Android 2.1, nothing all that new, but [...]

I’m sure a lot of you have heard about the Wirefly Blog Awards. I’m sure you guys love Phandroid. And I would hope that a lot of you are down for helping a good cause! We were recently nominated for Wirefly’s Best Android Blog award and we want to do something really special with the [...]

When we think about Android, we often see it as the greener grass beyond the lucrative fence separating the dark and gloomy farm from the healthy-looking fields of grass, trees, and colorful selection of flora growing about. I understand that everyone may not buy into Google’s “Don’t Be Evil” mantra as easily as others – [...]

I thought this was a nice little tickler to break up the day. Tumblr user “TheDuty“ does everyone’s funny bone justice in this humorous (and somewhat inconsistent) image. Take a look at it and see if you can make out the joke before reading ahead. For those that are lost up until this point, the [...]

LG is continuing their momentum off the heels of shoving the LG Aloha into Verizon’s inventory system, it seems. LG Central uncovered a User Agent Profile for a phone that will come with an “Android-Webkit” browser (which, obviously, leads us to believe it’ll be an Android phone). The model number differs from what we know [...]

Look what just came rolling through the pipeline: Dell could be bringing us even more tablets in 7-inch and 10-inch flavors! The Streak line looks to extend far past what they’re doing with the Dell Mini 5 (now known as the Dell Streak 5) and I am not one to argue. According to Engadget’s sources, [...]

It’s Friday, news is slow, and I want to hear from you guys. This week has been incredible (last time, I swear!) with all of the news about Verizon’s latest Android offering set to grace our pockets on April 29th, and new phones are always popping up all over the place. Assuming any of these [...]

If you’re a slacker like me, then you really don’t have the time (read: energy) to go creating completely custom playlists full of music you love. It’s so much easier to pick one song and have the rest filled in, covering all the bases in the process. Thankfully there is Slacker Radio. Now Slacker isn’t [...]

Anyone who’s been with Android – and naturally, with Twitter – since the beginning knows the story about Twidroid: It was the first Twitter client on Android to set the bar of what a Twitter app should be. It gets a shaky reputation for being unreliable, somewhat unstable, and very inconsistent on its performance over [...]

Oh boy. Yesterday Quentyn posted a story stating the HTC Hero update to 2.1 would be available at the end of April for European Hero owners. Now an internal posting by Sprint acknowledging “customers are eager for Android 2.1″ says that the “much anticipated” update will be available in early May for HTC Hero and [...]

HTC’s solution to synchronizing your Android-based HTC phone with your personal computer, HTC Sync, has recently received an update. Now supported in HTC Sync are the HTC Desire and HTC Legend. Other updates include support for MS Outlook 2000 and Finnish and Portuguese (Brazil) language support. HTC Sync allows you to sync your Outlook and [...]

There has been some speculation as to whether or not the Droid Incredible by HTC would have any sort of dedicated internal storage. Leaks and official documents have offered conflicting views. Some led us to believe the Incredible would come packaged with an 8GB SD card, others that there may be no internal memory at [...]

The WePad will be released this summer (in Europe at least), and its specs are looking quite nice. 1.66 GHz processor, front-facing camera, USB (not one, but two ports!), MicroSD, and many more goodies all bundled in a slick package. Now we have a video showcasing its interface, including its gridded homescreen. Looks like you [...]

The Bluetooth SIG just gave its stamp of approval to the Samsung SGH-T959, which by previous model numbers points to a handset that will see it’s release on T-Mobile. The T959 will reportedly feature Android, the TouchWiz 3.0 UI, Bluetooth 3.0, and a 4 inch AMOLED touchscreen. So what could this mysterious device be? One [...]

The Linux Kernel Archive hasn’t been too pleased with the direction Android has taken. Claiming Android’s developers offer little cooperation and are slow to patch and update their code, they parted ways last year. But all of that may change soon, as Google has extended the old proverbial olive branch at the Linux Collaboration Summit [...]

Back in my days as an undergrad we used to use YouTube to DJ a party every now and then. Someone would sit on the computer all night with two browser windows open and go back and forth queuing up songs. This is pretty much what UMusic is, only automated and minus the video. And [...]

Google’s earnings are up for this year, as they announced today revenues of $5.06 billion this quarter. This 19 percent increase over last year is thanks in no small part to Android, with the Android Market now containing 38,000 apps, up 8,000 apps from last month and a whopping 28,000 from last September’s number of [...]

A few members over on the forums at T-Mobile are reporting an issue involving the Samsung Behold II deleting their stored pictures from their memory cards. The story goes that the owners’ phones would power-down and then restart, only for them to find all of their pictures erased. The woes of one owner: I noticed [...]
