No, I’m not talking about a partnership between Verizon and Epic to put one of Lamb of God’s greatest songs on their device. I’m talking about the fact that the Droid Eris has officially (and – by Verizon’s watch – “successfully”) been phased out of the equation. Taking a quick stroll through their phones site [...]

I know some of you are getting just about peeved by now, but we have to report it anyway. If Frandroid’s sources are correct, HTC Hero owners in France will be receiving Android 2.1 in traditional OTA style this June 29th.The firmware’s version is currently being broadly numbered “3.XX.405.XX”. After taking my trusty “Google Translate” [...]

Well that didn’t take long at all, now did it? Samsung and T-Mobile may have had plans to announce this device later this month – with a launch headed our way in the latter portion of July – but the internet had better plans (as they often do): Cellphone Signal’s gotten the first official-looking shots [...]

The Samsung Behold II has been the host of a huge round of controversy for the manufacturer, but they’re trying. Unfortunately, Behold II owners won’t be able to enjoy the goods that come along with Android 2.1 and soon to be 2.2, but Android 1.6 isn’t that bad of a build, to be quite honest, [...]

Vodafone’s finally launched their own-branded device – the Vodafone 845 – after months of first word coming out from “camp leak”. You can grab the phone on a 15 pounds-per-month tariff and a two-year agreement (100 minutes, 500 texts, 500MB of data) at the cheapest rate. This kind of pricing is exactly what a lot [...]

Verizon invites participants of the media to check out the Motorola Droid X tomorrow, and we could be treated to the announcement of the phone’s launch date at that time. We’ve long heard July, and that was confirmed yesterday in the teaser they released for the device, but a narrower date may have already been [...]

After a series of delays and uncertainties regarding the HTC Wildfire’s actual release date, we can at least confirm one carrier is now offering the device. If you fancy a two-year contract with T-Mobile UK, then you can get the HTC Wildfire for free with a 20 pound tariff (which includes 500 text messages, 600 [...]

Today, Adobe’s announcing that Flash 10.1 is being shipped to their partners who provide content for mobile flash users.  Providers include CNET, HBO, Justin.TV, Nickelodeon, USA Network, Sony, Warner Brothers, and Viacom only to name a few. They’ve also explicitly mentioned several devices that will be getting Android 2.2 sometime down the line to take [...]

With the amount of launches the Samsung Galaxy S is beginning to see across the globe, it was only a matter of time before genius developers got their hands on the device to start tinkering with it. LeshaK from SamDroid.net is one such developer who – as of today – has come up with a [...]

First of all, let’s clear the air right now: midget circuses are real and have been for a very long time. Having thrown that disclaimer out there so as to not offend anyone, that’s one of the phrases I would use with the MyTouch 3G Slide’s Genius Button if I actually need to find a [...]

Sometime last week, we speculated Sling Media would be getting their Android app out very soon thanks to new “information sign-up” forms appearing on the UK version of their site. We also figured the price would more than likely be around the $30 mark by taking a look at their iPhone offering. And now, SlingPlayer [...]

I’m not even sure if we can consider the Samsung Galaxy S’s carrier launches news anymore (at least overseas). After announcing they’d be getting the Samsung Galaxy Apollo i5801 last week, Orange is set to launch Samsung’s latest flagship device someitme soon. For now, it only has a “coming soon” spot on their site, but [...]

The issue of just what exactly is under the hood of the upcoming Droid duo isn’t becoming any clearer just yet. What was originally thought to be a certain Texas Instruments OMAP 3630 CPU in both phones soon started to give way to whisperings of the phones actually coming with a 1GHz Snapdragon. A tweet [...]

Just about every ad network serves up its own take on mobile market share each month, and given the various methods in collecting data and certain caveats for devices (such as iOS rankings usually including the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad) the numbers reported speak best in general terms. The results of Millennial Media’s MobileMix [...]

Best Buy wants to get into the pockets of all the gamers out there (and probably get some cash out of those pockets in the process) through their mobile Best Buy Gaming app just announced. Sprinkled among “weekly gaming deals” you will find news content from GameSpot, trailers, and screenshots for upcoming and popular titles. [...]

On paper the HTC EVO 4G is beyond capable of utilizing Wireless N as its Wi-Fi chip supports the protocol, but for whatever reason HTC has the functionality disabled on the handset. Sounds like the perfect situation for the guys at XDA-Developers to step in and come up with a software exploit that gets Wireless [...]

Verizon just teased us with a short clip touting the soon to arrive Droid X, and if you have sharp eyes (or the free time to examine each frame of the clip) you may have caught a small viral plug in the iris of the cyborg eye. The text “@DroidLanding” appears in reverse, which with [...]

The HTC Aria just hit AT&T for the price of $129.99 on a 2-year activation, but Dell thinks that’s just a bit too steep of an asking price. New AT&T customers who purchase the Aria through Dell’s online store will get the handset for exactly $129.99 less. For those that don’t want to do the [...]

If you have ever transferred one of your favorite video files to your phone for watching on the go only to find the file type was not supported by the default Android media player, you fully understand the limitations to the video codecs supported by Android out of the box. Converting said videos to the [...]

The limits of what a person can accomplish with a Nexus One, Adobe AIR, some fancy computer interfacing, and some rubber bands have no bounds it would seem. Throw in a slot car set and you just made yourself a virtual gas pedal to throttle your little toy racers around the track. Acting more as [...]
