The New York Post is reporting that some bigger names in media have decided to stick with Adobe’s Flash for the time being, including Time Warner and NBC Universal. This occurs just when Steve Jobs, his epic Flash Bash (TM) agenda, and the iPad seemed to be convincing more and more media conglomerates to switch [...]

PTPT (spoken as petite petite) is a full-blown Android UI being developed by German software startup ExB. The interface reminds me a little bit of recent takes on future touchscreen computers seen in Sci Fi flicks. Items are dragged around or dropped onto each other to create interactions or reveal more info. Divided into three [...]

Amid an apparent meltdown in the Facebook for Android app, the official Android SDK has been launched in beta for developers to use at their disposal. Up until now developers have had to rig up interface solutions through the iPhone SDK, but the official support should now make it easy to create Facebook tie-ins across apps. [...]

In a move that is sure to offend customer while keeping Verizon’s pockets deep, CEO Lowell McAdam stated in a conversation with investors that he doesn’t see unlimited data plans as making sense when their 4G network rolls out. Purchasing a set data bandwidth per month is what he sees as the logical model moving [...]

We received word from an untested source that upon launch the Motorola Shadow will be rebranded as the Droid Extreme. Normally I’d file this as rumor and move on, but this isn’t the first time the “Extreme” name has been drawn to my attention. A tipster had previously mentioned that an upcoming Motorola device for [...]

Rogers is beginning to prep it employees for the roll out of the Acer Liquid e, which is headed to dealers now and should be available shortly. BGR got a hold of a launch flyer being sent out to Rogers staff giving the run down of this Android 2.1 handset. The specs have a lot [...]

If you pre-ordered the first LG Android to hit the United States or have been waiting patiently to head to your local VZW store and pick one up, today is your lucky day. The initial release was planned for last week but was then delayed when the phones didn’t show up. If you are considering [...]

We’ve  been receiving reports that the Facebook app for Android has been acting a bit fussy today, with users unable to access News Feed items and the app having trouble retrieving data all around. It seems to be partially working at least (I have been able to access my latest notifications just fine), but for [...]

Is it fate that we just reported on a round of $100 tablets headed our way later this year, or just mere coincidence? Whatever the case may be, non-profit organization One Laptop Per Child is shifting its focus from providing sub-$100 laptops to providing sub-$100 tablets. While VIA is helping to produce a line of [...]

Remember that Motorola phone that showed up a while back and was never to be heard from while its siblings got more love on other carriers in the United States? That phone was the Motorola Motoroi (otherwise known as the Motorola XT720) and – at the time –  we had our eyes on the thing [...]

Something interesting came out of NPD’s look at online music sales. While Apple stayed perched at the top of the mountain with nearly 70% of online sales going through their iTunes Store, Amazon has grown from 4% to 12% since 2008 (the year we saw our first Android phone). It’s believed that Amazon MP3′s inclusion [...]

All Things D is reporting that Matias Duarte – Palm’s senior director of human interface and user experience – has left the company post-HP acquisition and might be making his way into the Googleplex. Duarte lead the development of Palm’s webOS UI which – I have to admit – was one pretty interface. His departure [...]

Starting June 3rd, the HTC Legend will be available in Australia for Vodafone. If you prefer to get the phone without a contract, you can expect to pay AUD$599 for it, while it will be offered for free if you get the phone on Vodafone’s $49 cap plan. Shortly after Vodafone’s launch, 3 Mobile’s pricing [...]

Last week, we had reason to believe that the HTC Wildfire could be coming to us for a cool 300 euros (close to 250 pounds). While there’s been no indication of those rumors being true yet, one online retailer has the HTC Wildfire up for preorder at 210 pounds. For US currency, that translates to [...]

For those that didn’t catch Google’s keynote where they gave a rundown of Android’s progression since August 2008 (when the OS was first approaching maturity), AndroidTapp’s put together a great looking overview of those facts in a long track sheet, of sorts. Key highlights – as most would probably remember if they watched the I/O [...]

Who didn’t see this coming? Verizon wasn’t too keen on the whole “revealing our device before we have a chance to” thing that went down with the Motorola Shadow and decided to take some action. According to Gizmodo’s original tipster, the gym employee that found the lost phone has since been fired. They say Verizon [...]

Before you read the rest of this post, watch the video: the music will make you happy. Anyway, Android-France has a video showing an unofficial port of Froyo on the HTC Magic. We knew the XDA scene was hard at work on SDK image-based ports for the Magic/T-Mobile MyTouch 3G already (as well as the T-Mobile [...]

If there’s one thing I’m sure at least a few people wanted to know, it’s how the Android mascot looks beneath all of its green-coated aluminum. Garry Booth decided to take an Android and blow it up. What he found were the innards that make our green friend “tick” and decided to share it with [...]

A couple of days ago, we reported that Dell and O2 UK would be launching the Dell Streak this June, but a date wasn’t finalized. Today, O2′s phone overview page for the Dell Streak was updated to show that the phone would be coming June 4th. That’s about all we can share for now, though, [...]

Following their press event this morning where they announced a new (and yet-to-be-named) tablet device, Acer’s unveiling the phone that we first saw among the Army of Android phones at Google I/O: the Acer Liquid Stream (but they’re now just referring to it as the Acer Stream) . We got some initial details on the [...]
