Hey if you’re in the UK head over to Google and type in “meet Android.” Then hit “I’m Feeling Lucky.” Go ahead, do it. I dare you. You’ll  meet Android alright, as that little green bugger tears down your search to reveal an Easter egg ad for the Nexus One. For those not in the [...]

Oh boy, I feel like a little child again, Dad just brought home our first Windows PC and finished setting it up. Hello age of technology and wonderment! Now reword that sentence replacing “little child” with “grown man,” “Dad” with “Shawn McHenry,” “first Windows PC” with “first iteration of Windows 3.1 running on Android,” and [...]

[UPDATE]: For those that are worried about the manual update voiding your warranty, you may just want to hold off until your phone gets the OTA version. Or that’s what VZW support tweeted, anyway. Still, I can assure you this is the official release and the exact thing you get on your phone with the [...]

Italian Brazilian site Zumo is giving us just a little bit more info about that square Motorola Android that is no doubt coming very soon. According to their post, what is supposedly going to be the Motorola FLIPOUT is also the Motorola MB511, or Ruth. Guess what? You’re getting everything you probably wouldn’t have even questioned: [...]

Let’s face it: no one was all the impressed with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. No multi-touch, Android 1.6, and interface issues all seemed to add up to an all around sad Android from SE. Then again, apparently no one in Japan reads Android blogs, as Barclay Capital is reporting that the X10 — known [...]

Need for Speed: Shift was demoed at the HTC EVO 4G event but gained surprisingly little attention though the release date for the upcoming EA title was revealed to coincide with the EVO launch. Or maybe it’s not so surprising given all of the EVO awesomeness blotting out the announcement and EA’s lack-luster track record [...]

For all the good and bad that has come along with the Nexus One, a chief complaint has been Google’s method of distributing the handset and its (lack of) customer support. While a few carriers (mostly in Europe) have teamed up with Google to offer the N1 subsidized and in store, the large majority of [...]

Back in February, we reported that Google and their partners were shipping 60,000 devices per day. If anyone was wondering if they’ve slowed down and that number has decreased since then: it hasn’t. In fact, even more phones are being shipped now than they were back then, and no one sees the trend dissolving any [...]

The wait is finally over. If you haven’t already jumped the gun and grabbed it up last night before Sprint yanked it down, then you can bet that you’ll have all the chances in the world here: Sprint’s officially distributed the Android 2.1 update to every Samsung Moment owner on their official support site. You [...]

Great news for you scholars out there! Google’s opening the floodgates a bit more for new users to get in on the beta for Google Voice. The only catch is that you need to be a student, and Google will verify this by requiring you use an email address that ends in “.edu”. Obviously, if [...]

Looks like Bell was a bit quiet on this launch. IntoMobile is reporting that Canadian carrier Bell has launched the Motorola DEXT (see: Motorola CLIQ) today and that it’s available to order right now. It seems this is the second of 3 MOTOBLUR-enabled phones to see Canadian launches (with the first being the Motorola Backflip [...]

We recently learned Bell might be holding a launch party for the HTC Legend on May 27th in Montreal. While we didn’t have an actual launch date for the phone, we’d hoped its launch would follow shortly after. That isn’t the case, but at least we can throw a solid date at you: Bell will [...]

Cats are jumping out of the bag left and right regarding the Samsung Galaxy S. Yesterday, we learned Vodafone would get the phone first over in the UK, and now some evidence has cropped up suggesting T-Mobile will be next in line. It sounds like this could be the device we heard about being described [...]

If there’s one thing I’ve always loved about the Android market, it’s that you can pretty much make any application you want and upload it without the hassle of going through the big bad wolf for approval. It seems even Google has their limits, however, as we just learned that the popular Dolphin Browser HD [...]

The now-popular phrase “when there’s no limit to what Droid gets, there’s no limit to what Droid does” has been stuck in my head for a long time, now, and – while the phrase applies to Verizon’s Android phones and the Android Market – it’s beginning to apply to these ads from Verizon, as well. [...]

I wanted to try and find a play on those old “Dude, you’re getting a Dell!” ads with the title of this post, but it didn’t quite work out. Instead, let’s get down to business: AT&T will officially be getting the Dell Streak 5. The news comes to us as Michael Dell – founder and [...]

Yesterday, we learned Best Buy would be allowing customers to pre-order the much anticipated HTC EVO 4G that’s on its way to cellular stores on June 4th. As we imagined – and expected – RadioShack sparked their pre-order program up today, as well, but they’re offering a little spin that you won’t get at Best [...]

US Cellular announced they would be adding another device to their Android lineup, the Samsung R880– you may know it by its common name, the Samsung Acclaim. Aside from being a full QWERTY device running Android 2.1 with a 3.2-inch HGVA screen, little was known about the device, let alone what it would look like. [...]

What’s the HTC Triumph, you ask? Well that was what had many people scratching their heads when Mobile Syrup uncovered some TELUS inventory pics showing the device as coming to the Canadian network. But wonder no more, as it turns out the Triumph will be a rebranded HTC Desire. The Desire, as we all know, [...]

Over at SDX-Developers, some interesting things are developing. It appears if you navigate over to Sprint’s Samsung Moment software update page that the long awaited Android 2.1 update may now be available. No official announcement has come from Sprint, but the file that can now be downloaded, while still listed as an older update, seems [...]
