If you’re an Android-loving numbers cruncher than you probably love Admob’s monthly report on the mobile industry, each time taking a slightly different approach on the data. This go-round they take a step back and look at the last two years of mobile transition. While the results are astounding… I think it’s fair to say [...]

Any Archos 5 users out there still proudly using their device will wake up to a firmware update for the tablet today. The most notable improvement you’ll see is that it now has native support for OpenGL 3D hardware acceleration. Developers that target the platform would love this, and the end-result for users would be [...]

So much for SK Telecom carrying the Samsung Galaxy S exclusively: a simple name change and a slight physical downsizing will do for some of South Korea’s other prominent carriers. LG Telecom is said to be getting the model number SHW-M130, while KT’s offering will append a K onto the end of that. Physically, there [...]

It’s good to see that Verizon isn’t just sitting around and waiting for new HTC Droid Incredible units to come in while several thousand (or hundreds of thousands) customers are without the phone they’ve been wanting for a couple of months. We’ve received reports that $25 gift cards are being offered as an apology for [...]

What would our precious mobile ecosystem be like without some blindly vibrant fanboism? Supporting your favorite brand as if they’re your hometown team and your favorite device as if it’s your personal favorite superstar- what could make you stop rooting for it/them? Nothing. WARNING: THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK! Let’s be honest: it’s no [...]

[Update]: Seems we’ve run into a bit of a mix-up. The off-contract price is $449.99 instead of $329.99, confirmed by T-Mobile. Details of the update can be found here. Didn’t your mother tell you to read the fine print before you sign a contract? Well in this case, you should read the fine print because [...]

This might not be a big deal to you users (or even to some of you developers), but it’s still a pretty big deal: developers are now able to see the comments on their apps right from the back-end of the Market site on which they perform their dirty work (in this case, dirty = [...]

Many a Sprint customer woke up to an unfortunate side effect to Sprint and HTC’s fixes this morning for the HTC EVO 4G: it actually broke some phones instead of fixing them. The update itself wasn’t directly responsible for the bricking of devices, but rather the update was being pushed to users twice (in err) [...]

Even with Samsung’s track record on some of their other devices, we expected Android 2.2 would be a big part in the future of the Galaxy S. The fact that they’re launching this thing in every nook and every corner imaginable to this Earth should be a big enough hint to assume they wouldn’t leave [...]

It was only yesterday that we saw Verizon and Samsung announce the Samsung Fascinate – Big Red’s version of the Samsung Galaxy S – but we hadn’t gotten an image of that particular device straight away. Samsung’s event kicked off not too long ago, however, and it’s ready to make its red carpet debut: it [...]

Ok, perhaps they didn’t say it quite like that, but that’s how it sounded in my head. Upon taking a look at AT&T’s newly-created landing page for all things Android at their site, someone noticed AT&T’s stopped playing hush-mouth regarding their reasoning for blocking non-Market apps on devices that land on their network. Essentially, they [...]

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse was speaking out about the HTC EVO 4G and its success on his company’s network today at a Forrester Customer Experience conference. After his keynote presentation, Hesse spoke with Reuters about their first 4G phone, which has been selling better than Sprint or HTC expected. He confirmed that they are seeing [...]

After dropping just about every surprise we can think of in a series of press releases that went out over the past couple of days, it’s hard to imagine just what Samsung has in store for us tonight as we head into an event that is promising us the next generation of Android phones. The [...]

Today Cisco has unveiled the Cius, a 7-inch business tablet capable of capturing and displaying high-resolution video among a bevy of other business oriented tasks for which the device is geared. With collaboration and communication portability in mind, the device weighs in at 1.15 pounds and supports HD video streaming, multi-party conferencing, and all the [...]

The Motorola Droid update that was pushed to a select group of owners in advance for testing purposes has been leaked for download. The build is listed as FRF84B, and while the version up for download is not the official release, it’s about as close as you can get without an update getting pushed over [...]

We’re here in New York City awaiting the start of tonight’s Samsung Galaxy S event that will showcase the phone and its variants headed to all major carriers in the US. Not wanting to leave any corner of the world without their flagship Android handset, Samsung has also announced the phone for our neighbors up [...]

For those that loathed getting rid of their physical keyboard, wanted a smallish device, and needed it to run Android, then listen up: the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro started shipping yesterday. Sony Ericsson didn’t provide any details as to where you could get the device at that time , but some Vodafone users [...]

We expect Verizon to continue the Droid Does train with the release of the Motorola DROID X headed our way in just over two weeks, but it seems the device will get shine in some of Verizon’s other ads, as well. The latest comes from the newly launched “Rule the Air” campaign that Verizon’s dropped [...]

The lesser-known Samsung Intercept has just had its beauty shots leaked. The device is heading to Sprint and will essentially be regarded as the step-up from the Samsung Moment. It features Android 2.1, a 3.2-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth 2.1, a 4-row slideout QWERTY keyboard, and Samsung’s TouchWiz 3.0 interface. It looks like it could also be [...]

Remember back when the HTC EVO 4G first came out and everyone was heading straight for the hills due to possible security flaws (or security benefits, if you’re on the other side of the boat)? The fact that the device was rooted just a couple of days after Google gave it out to 5,000 developers [...]
