Orb Live (pictured above on a phone that shall be named), the media streaming service, recently went out to the Android Market. Orb allows you to access your pictures, videos, and audio right from your phone through Orb MyCast, a media server application that is installed on a host computer. You can also access internet TV [...]

While GMail gets the job done quickly when it comes to push e-mail, if you use any other sort of account for dealing with your day to day business you don’t get the same expedient delivery times.  SEVEN offers a solution to this problem, and while not as quick at retrieving messages as GMail, it [...]

Motorola’s just added a lot more phones to their Android 2.1 upgrade chart. Some are still listed as “under evaluation,” but at least it shows they’re thinking about you. To clarify, most of the phones on this list aren’t actually new, they’re just new to certain countries. If they update the chart again with some [...]

I’m not sure if it’s just bad wording, an ill-informed designer, or truth, but according to Verizon’s official site for the Motorola Droid X that’s just gone live, it’ll be coming with a 4.3-inch 720p screen. I can’t speak on the accuracy of that having never used the phone personally, but the videos we’ve seen [...]

Well, AT&T’s just getting on a roll here with unveiling some pretty nice devices ahead of dooms-day (June 24th, if you’re not sure what day that would be). The HTC Aria’s been announced and will be heading to stores in three days, and now AT&T’s finally announced their second high-end Android handset (first if you [...]

Just like Google won’t be opening up the source code of Google TV until some point in the year following its launch, the Android Market will too have to wait for it’s big screen debut. You won’t be able to get all of your favorite apps on your TV just yet, nor will third-party installs [...]

Ever wanted to get in a game of Halo while chilling out on a bridge over a river, maybe casting a few fishing lines and waiting for a bite in the process? I don’t know about the fishing part, but Alex Kuklinski has you covered otherwise. All you need is a a couple thousand dollars [...]

The Sony Ericsson family of Android phones continues to grow month by month, and the latest addition to their line of Xperia products is no exception to the consistency we’ve seen from them. The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 – a phone that was once codenamed “Shakira” goes hands-on in this video by SE-First. It was [...]

Ah, so you want to check-in to the totally trendy new bar you found in the hipster quarters of whatever city it is that you reside in, but upon looking it up FourSquare is returning multiple results for the same exact venue. Decisions, decisions. Well, the latest update won’t help make that decision any easier [...]

FrostWire’s bringing their peer-to-peer app to the Android market, but they need some help on getting this thing tuned. Those of you who’ve ever needed to download some “hard-to-find” files at some point or another knows the FrostWire name, but this isn’t of the same cloth. This app will allow you and your friends to [...]

In keeping with the same style as Android phones, the peripherals and TV sets for Google’s take on internet TV will receive the “with Google TV” branding rather than be named Google TV outright. The first companion box that will hit the market is developed by Logitech and features their Harmony technology for controlling all [...]

A few days ago, we anticipated that the HTC Legend would be headed to Bell very soon (on its rumored June 16th date) thanks to a Best Buy Canada Mobile listing of the phone. The date turned out to be true, as we expected: the HTC Legend is now available for Bell customers as of [...]

T-Mobile’s gotten a bit proactive on the software side of things with improving device experience for their customers. They’ve been building an app called Device Tune-Up which will proactively shut unused/old services down in order to help the battery life and the phone’s overall performance. "Device Tune-up is different from most task killers because it [...]

Just after HTC confirmed other regional carriers would be getting the HTC Desire this summer, Cellular South’s gone ahead and announced they’ll be getting the device. They follow US Cellular as one of the first carriers to carry it, and we expect more carriers to announce their plans to carry the Desire sometime down the [...]

T-Mobile’s bringing a great gift for Dads and Grads (I sound like a Target commercial) this Saturday by offering all of their phones free, but there were still some unpleasant hoops you had to jump through to be eligible. For the most part, you had to open a new line on a family plan or [...]

Motorola’s bringing one of the latest additions to their Android family – the Motorola FLIPOUT – to Germany. O2 and Vodafone will be the two carriers to provide the unique handset, and you’ll have to throw down 349 Euros if you want one. There’s no word on if any contracts will be offered to get [...]

It’s become a great tradition to get a good look at platform distribution (or, as some would call it, platform fragmentation) charts every now and then, and this week’s pie is perhaps the most interesting we’ve seen to date. Android 2.1 – as we used to affectionately call “Eclair” – now accounts for exactly half [...]

Well, isn’t that something? Google’s just launched the Nexus One in Korea by way of KT. We’re not surprised at that fact. We’re surprised that it’s preloaded with Android 2.2. It’s interesting because just days ago, A new build of Android 2.2 began appearing on internal Nexus One handsets, suggesting that a final build could [...]

The wait’s been rather long, but New Zealand will finally see the arrival of the Motorola Milestone. This July 1st, you can grab the device for $999 with Telecom XT where they’ll be donning the release as “the re-launch of Motorola in New Zealand”. It may not seem as special to those of us in [...]
