Yesterday, we reported on the rollout of an OTA firmware update for the HTC Hero that we thought could be a prerequisite to an eventual Android 2.1. “Soon” was all we could assume, but that’s now a very accurate assumption seeing as its coming straight from the horse’s mouth: the HTC Hero will updated to [...]

It’s June 17th, which means we’re expecting the Samsung Galaxy S to ship today from several online retailers (and possibly even some carriers). For those of you that pre-ordered the device through Expansys, look for your shipment details as it should be on its way. And for those slackers that elected not to pre-order, Expansys [...]

Looks like BGR’s done some digging and found that things aren’t as they should be on HTC Sense-enabled devices. The privacy concern comes in where HTC’s stock browser captures screengrabs of images at periodic intervals to use on Sense’s bookmark widget. The files are stored (not forever) in a folder on the phone’s storage device [...]

Confirming what we already knew, the HTC Desire is headed to the US. This follows US Cellular’s apology for their delay of the expected July launch they’d been promising customers. It’s said the delay is because of HTC’s inability to produce the devices fast enough (mainly because of AMOLED shortages), something that’s also been holding [...]

After learning that the device wasn’t, in fact, named the Galaxy Tab, a video has showed up demoing a particular version of the device. We’re not sure if this is a prototype unit (the button configuration is different from the one picture that’s been making its rounds) but it most certainly is a 7-inch tablet [...]

The folks at Engadget – the lucky horde they are – were able to get their hands on the Motorola Droid X for an extensive preview of the device. Mostly everything we’ve heard regarding the device still rings true, but we’ve learned that it actually has a 4.4-inch touchscreen instead of a 4.3-inch (not a [...]

We’ve already gotten a pretty good glimpse of Ulysse Nardin’s $50,000 Android handset, and now we have official shots of the $129,000 version. It comes 2,000 diamonds with ceramic trim embedded into an 18-carat white gold shell. Nothing has really changed here from what we’ve seen in the other editions, but it’s $129,000 and it [...]

Shocker (that was sarcasm, in case your meter isn’t working correctly): Randall Stephenson – AT&T’s controversy-riddled CEO – has gone on the record to say that their relationship with Google and Android is just fine and growing each and every day. He mentions verizon as Google’s biggest carrier partner here in the United States, and [...]

After the announcement of Android 2.2 and all of the great features we’d be getting with it, we found it hard to come up with more useful features that would take Android even further. It looks like Google’s satisfied with the functionality side of things, too, as now they’re going to be working very heavily [...]

Hey all, Talton here.  Rob’s just a hair busy -  so you’re stuck with me! We just wanted to drop a quick post to let everyone know where we are with the big bad ‘Phone-A-Day Give Away’ contest we have going.  So far we have picked winners for days 1-6, and congrats to them! All [...]

Every day, developers are pushing applications to the Android market which makes the platform popular for mobile business professionals. The latest to enable your employees comes by way of FuzeBox who just launched FuzeMeeting for Android. The app comes with some pretty cool features. You’re given the ability to view shared desktops with everyone in [...]

We first saw these phones at this past Computex show, but now Acer’s gone on record to announce them officially. The phones I’m talking about would be the Acer beTouch E120 and the Acer beTouch E130. The former has a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 416MHz ST Ericsson processor, and your usual host [...]

I’m absolutely head over heels for Swype, it’s the first software keyboard solution that ever made me want to ditch a hardware alternative. Thankfully I was among the lucky 25,000 who got to participate in the Swype beta. Others may have experienced this life-changing keyboard alternative pre-installed on a new handset. The majority of users, [...]

XDA never sleeps, it seems. Popular developer Coolbho3000 over at the equally-popular phone developer forums has managed to create a custom kernel for the HTC EVO 4G that will allow users to overclock it to 1.26GHz. For now, he claims it’s stable, but your mileage is going to vary so proceed with caution. What’s more [...]

If SportsTap and ScoreMobile aren’t really your thing, there is a good chance you have been wondering “When is ESPN ScoreCenter coming to Android?” The answer, my friends is right now. Get all sorts of real-time sports updates, follow your favorite teams, and do basically everything you can do with those other sports apps except [...]

Not that we had anything to do with its conception, but it’s hard to root for an Android device that’s trying to mimic the iPad and fail so terribly at it. As Android fans, we strive to prove to our non-believing friends that Android can do anything that competing operating systems can do, and more. [...]

Samsung news just keeps pouring out today. Now, we’ve learned Samsung’s shown official press treatment for both the Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5800) and the Samsung Galaxy 5 (i5500). Both phones are Android 2.1-based with Samsung’s own customizations sprinkled on top. The Galaxy 3 has a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 320×240, a 3-megapixel [...]

They weren’t kidding when they said the next Droid might be unveiled next week, as an official invite has gone out to media outlets for a press event that promises to unveil the next generation of Droid. Motorola, Verizon, and even Adobe are teaming up to showcase either the Droid X, Droid 2, or both…they [...]

If you have been a college student in the past 10 years there is a chance you have some experience with Blackboard, the web service designed to enhance the learning experience via discussion boards, hosted documents, contact forms, and electronic assignment submission. In my experience Blackboard caused more headaches than it resolved, but I sure [...]

With the announcement of the HTC Aria, many hoped it would mark a new chapter in AT&T’s handling of Android. Their first Android offering was the locked-down Motorola Backflip that suffered from an OS blocked from installing apps through sources other than the marketplace. If you thought perhaps AT&T would wise up, you may not [...]
