After it was suggested that the Motorola i1 would be going to Boost Mobile, PhoneDog’s reporting that Sprint is set to get some of the love, as well. On June 20th, we should be expecting this device on its way to Sprint stores according to yet another internal Sprint screenshot. It’ll cost $149.99 (on contract, [...]

SIRIUS has announced availability of their Android app today. By heading over to siriusxm.com/android, you can get a free 7-day subscription to SIRIUS|XM to try the app out for yourself. As far as I can tell, the app is only being offered through their website, as they ask you to enter your email address. There, [...]

BGR’s reporting that one of their Samsung sources tipped them regarding a “major” product launch for the month of July. There were no other details to be had, but we should note that this rumor comes just a day after we learned T-Mobile has something big planned for June 19th. Whatever’s going on, we can’t [...]

Confirming what we already concluded back when the file first leaked, a Google spokesperson (Ry Guy, if you’re familiar) has come out to officially state that the leaked Froyo file being redistributed via various unofficial methods is not the same as the official over-the-air update that was pushed to several Nexus Ones out there (is [...]

[Update]: We’ve gotten pictures of some of those accessories – alongside their model numbers, names, and pricing – courtesy of Engadget. Last month, we saw the first round of accessories for the HTC EVO 4G outed. While we got pricing for some of the accessories, others were still listed as “to be determined,” and there [...]

The Tetris Company LLC has taken action against all of the unauthorized Tetris clones on the market: they’ve sent a cease and desist letter to Google to pull 35 games based off of the popular classic puzzle game off of the market. FallingBlocks was one of the first developers to suffer the ban hammer, stating [...]

Back in August 2009, we were shown a mobile internet device that – at least externally – impressed the hair off our heads. The device was officially shown the next month and it looked even better than before. Around December (this was when Eclair was first being talked about), we learned that the device would [...]

For many of you, Skype signing an exclusivity deal with Verizon (even while keeping their iPhone version of the app alive for AT&T) for the Skype Mobile app was a huge disappointment. It looks like Skype’s ambitions are finally going to extend past just one carrier, though, and it’s thanks to the prospect that is [...]

Well here’s a little unintentional treat that Sprint’s bringing out of the oven: the mobile hotspot feature that many are anticipating on the HTC EVO 4G will be free at least for the month of June. An internal screen states that – due to a proper activation method not being in place yet for the [...]

If you haven’t already been turned away by the fact that you won’t get to use Qik with your front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera without paying an extra $5, then it looks like you can get your HTC EVO 4G a little bit earlier than expected this June 4th when the phone officially launches. Engadget came across [...]

Some of you probably won’t remember the phone by its model number that showed up in a Bluetooth SIG profile a while ago, but the Samsung SGH-i897 was believed to be an AT&T-bound phone thanks to some McGyver-like work showing that the model number’s structure matched up with past Samsung devices on AT&T. If that [...]

Those “features of the future” that are becoming possible with smartphones these days definitely aren’t going to be cheap. If some of you HTC EVO 4G owners were turned away by the extra $10 premium needed to even use the smartphone with Sprint, then you’ll be angered if you were planning to get the most [...]

Ah, October 2009. It seemed like it was just yesterday that Verizon started getting all of our under garments in a bunch (in a “relatively” good way) with all of those Droid Does and iDon’t teasers leading up to the launch of their first Android-based phone, the Motorola Droid. More than half a year later [...]

There is some very good news and some very bad news for all of you Samsung Behold 2 owners out there. The good news is that Samsung will be working to get Android 1.6 to you as soon as they can. The update will feature “Swype, an improved Media Player, updated core Android Applications and [...]

SlingPlayer for Android is currently in private beta, but unless you are one of the lucky few who are already testing out this home media streaming app we haven’t seen too much of how it will perform on Android handsets. It looks like the Android version is also the quickest loading SlingPlayer app for a [...]

A member over at Howard Forums uncovered an interesting bit of info when attempting to benchmark his [overclocked] Droid using Quadrant (find it free in the market). Sitting just below a Nexus One running Android 2.2 and above the Samsung Galaxy S was a device listed as the Shadow MB810. That would be the Motorola [...]

After much fuss from the FTC, Google’s acquisition of AdMob was finally given the OK. Without too much left to say on the matter, Google has made the deal official today. Well Google did have a bit to say about the matter, but as an end-user it’s always hard to get excited about more advertisements. [...]

Now if this isn’t the biggest lens I’ve ever seen on a cell phone, well then I probably haven’t seen enough cell phones, but the altek Leo boasts a 14MP camera with 3X zoom. And a real big lens. At first I thought this was simply a digital camera, but sure enough it’s a smartphone. [...]

Ever since Google started getting the Froyo source code out to developers, they have been working seemingly round the clock to get it on a plethora of Android devices. The latest is the Acer Liquid, as you can see in the below video: Still a few kinks to work out, but for all intents and [...]

Let’s see…what burning questions did Sanjay Jha NOT answer at Barclays recent investors conference. Is Motorola looking into tablets? Moto is “engaged in thinking about the right solution there.” When Motorola acquired Azingo was it really to forge their own mobile OS? “Nearly all of my focus is on Android today,” Jha said. And he [...]
