Acer held a press event in Beijing this morning, and I don’t think anyone expected their CEO to unveil what he did: a 7-inch tablet device running Android. The screen’s size is the only confirmed spec right now, but he did hint at 3G connectivity by saying the obvious option would be to partner with [...]

The Popular VoIP client Fring looks to be one-upping Qik a bit early as they’ve announced they’ll be bringing video calling to their Android app. While Qik demonstrated the feature far earlier with Sprint and the HTC EVO 4G, they’ve yet to release the final version that adds this functionality. There are no details yet [...]

We all knew that – with the decline of the Sidekick brand (and even with them trying to breath new life into it) – T-Mobile was putting their money behind Android and the MyTouch brand going forward. With the T-Mobile MyTouch Slide set to continue on the course that the original T-Mobile MyTouch 3G set [...]

The Motorola i1 has been making the rounds this week. We first learned it would be available on regional carrier SoutherLINC Wireless, and that it would also be heading to Boost Mobile as America’s first pre-paid iDEN Android phone. Now word is out that it will also find its way to Latin America through NII [...]

AT&T customers have been getting the short end of the Android stick for a while now. Their limited selection of nerfed Android handsets isn’t exactly winning over customers seeking a smartphone on their network that isn’t the iPhone. Maybe they are listening to the cries of the masses, or maybe their just getting smarter, but [...]

AndroidSPIN is reporting that they have confirmed a rumor that the myTouch 3G Slide will be receiving an update to Android 2.2 as early as next week. The update will first be sent out to T-Mobile employee phones for testing, with it making its way to the average Joe’s slide at a yet unknown date. [...]

When the OTA update to Android 2.1 for the HTC Droid Eris finally arrived, owners of the handset were hoping to receive an experience very similar to what they were already familiar with on their devices while adding in the benefits of the newer OS version. For the most part the update achieved its job, [...]

Location history is nothing new to Google Latitude, you either opt in or you don’t when enabling the service on your phone. But a list of the places you have been can only tell you so much, so Google has launched the Location History Dashboard in beta to help identify trends in your traveling habits. [...]

T-Mobile has announced that the Garminfone will be coming to select retails stores and authorized dealers, as well as going up for sale on the T-Mobile website beginning June 9th. On a two-year contract you’ll be paying $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. The Garminfone, if you couldn’t tell by the name alone, is the [...]

The first two weeks of June are chock full of big handset releases (and we aren’t just speaking strictly about Android. Lookin’ at you, iPhone), and Telus doesn’t want to be left out of the mobile madness. Telus’ home page now has a countdown teasing of something that will be unleashed June 8th, and the [...]

With his brilliant performance as the emcee for Google’s Android-related keynote at Google I/O, Vic Gondotra has emerged as the voice of Google’s mobile products. We laughed, we cheered, we cried (ok, so maybe we didn’t cry…well at least I didn’t) as he smoothly sailed past malfunctioning tech demos, delivered Android announcements with the fervor [...]

Looking to get on T-Mobile now that they are announcing all these new (and very fast) HSPA+ regions? Want a cheap or FREE Android handset to hold you over until something better comes along? If you head over to T-Mobile’s site now and sign up for a new 2-year agreement you can have just that, [...]

We’ve known for a little while now that Bell would be getting the HTC Legend (it should be launching right around June 11th) but we are now learning that the Legend will be available from Bell-owned Virgin Mobile as well. An inventory screenshot dug up by those friendly Canadians at Mobile Syrup shows the device [...]

After a brief scare yesterday, the HTC Droid Incredible is ready to be purchased (now with an included 2GB microSD card to boot) with the caveat that it won’t ship out to those that order via the Verizon website until June 16th. On top of a demand that greatly exceeds what was expected by Verizon, [...]

We’ve all heard the whispers in the jungle alluding to the Motorola Droid most likely being the next device after the Nexus One to receive the Android 2.2 (Froyo) update. It makes the most sense, as the Droid is the only other major handset to use a ‘vanilla’ version of Android. Today Motorola posted through [...]

One of the great things about Android is that application vendors can distribute their apps outside of the Android market. This is great for people who can’t purchase items directly from the market (due to their device or country), but it seems that the grass isn’t as green on some acres as they are on [...]

CNet’s reporting that the Samsung Galaxy S will be seeing a launch in Asia sometime this June. Considering some preorderers in Europe may be getting this phone on the first of June, we could be seeing Asia get their slice of the pie around the same time. It’ll be available for S$1,098 (which comes out [...]

Details regarding availability of the Xperia X10 Mini (outside of the phone going to Vodafone)  have been spotty, to say the least, but we can at least say that our friends in Sweden can expect to see the phone in shops tomorrow. Originally reported by Mobil.se – a Swedish mobile phone site – the phone [...]

For some of you that are looking to purchase the HTC EVO 4G in just a little over a week from now (time has gone by so fast since they announced the date and pricing), the Micro HDMI connector was a huge selling point (especially given the device’s ability to record and playback HD video). [...]

Late March, we learned that the Kyocera Zio (aka the M6000) would be making its way to Cricket in July. While we have yet to see if that holds up to be true, another rumor is suggesting that the Zio could make its way to Boost Mobile, as well. A source of AndroidGuys‘ is the [...]
