The app has been going through beta testing for some time now, but LogMeIn’s finally committed to a full release. The app – priced at $29.99 – will allow you to control everything on your desktop or laptop PC as [...]

Shazam – the app that ensures you’ll never be left wondering what song you’re listening to – has been updated to introduce a premium version that brings along some new features. Users can now enjoy song lyrics, tour information on the artists they’ve tagged, better YouTube support, and more. The app is being called Shazam [...]

We knew Acer had plans to bring a 7-inch Android tablet to market (with quite a large chin area, making us believe it’ll be geared more toward the eReader crowd), but if DigiTimes’ sources are correct, then we’ll be seeing a bigger 10-inch variant right alongside it. Both tablets are said to run Android 2.2 [...]

Samsung’s released a minor update for the Samsung Galaxy S in South Korea. It’s said that the update will improve Bluetooth A2DP playback, call quality, and more enhancements and fixes. Also being reported this morning is that Samsung expects to sell over 10 million Galaxy S handsets worldwide. In Korea, they’ve already surpassed 300,000 units [...]

Not to be confused with McDonald’s 1 billion burgers sold, AndroLib‘s reporting that an estimated 1 billion+ Android apps have been downloaded through the Android market. The popular application database (complete with remote installation and synchronization tools) makes it easy for users to discover new apps and quickly install them to their devices. They’re also [...]

If there’s one thing everyone’s been missing from Android’s music playback experience, it’s equalizer features. Some people may be just peachy with throwing their MP3s onto their storage provider of choice and playing them back, but audiophiles (like myself) would love to tweak the sound to best match our listening tastes. Mixzing’s helping to fill [...]

Opera’s updated their Android version of the popular Opera Mini browser to version 5.1. From what I can see at first glance, the update enhances several areas of the browser that most people had problems with. Specifically, you can now leave the app and return to see all of your tabs opened just how you [...]

HTC’s announced that Telstra – Australia’s biggest wireless carrier – will soon offer the HTC Wildfire. Set to arrive in August, the Wildfire is aimed at those who wants a very pocketable phone with everything they need to stay connected to everyone in their lives through HTC Sense. It has a 3-2-inch capacitive touchscreen, a [...]

Motorola’s been under heat lately regarding the locked bootloader that the Motorola Droid X will be shipping with. We learned a few days ago that the bootloader would be locked and encrypted to thwart off anyone attempting to load custom ROMs that have not been officially approved and signed by Motorola. Lori Fraleigh explains on [...]

Microsoft’s reportedly working on a Bing app for Android. Microsoft’s Decision Engine already claims home on many other mobile operating systems (including Microsoft’s own WinMo) so a move to Android would make a lot of sense. The plans were murmured at Microsoft’s Bing Search Summit taking place in San Francisco. Microsoft isn’t announcing a lot [...]

In a move that everyone saw coming (basically because Metago’s announced they’d be introducing an ad-supported model for months), Astro File Manager’s been updated to support the company’s new ad-supported revenue model. Much like many other apps in the Android market, the app was updated to include ads which can be done away with by [...]

It is really starting to get hard to find ways to describe the feats being accomplished by the people over at XDA-Developers, so I won’t even try. The latest news emerging from that camp is a so-called “cheap & dirty” Froyo ROM for the HTC Aria based off of a CyanogenMod 6 port. It was [...]

From everything we know, the Motorola Droid 2 will be launching sometime in August on the heels of the highly anticipated Droid X, and aside from a few rumors here and a leak or two there, there isn’t much to be said when it comes to officially confirmed specs. Now thanks to a Verizon Summer/Fall [...]

It’s no secret that the Nexus One is at least technically capable of FM radio support, just take the HTC Desire as Exhibit A. They both share the same Broadcom chip, but for whatever reason FM support was nixed for the N1 though it made it onto the Desire just fine. Now thanks to some [...]

The number of Android tablets coming to market is growing at an almost ridiculous pace, and though we are still waiting for a high-end bad boy like the Notion Ink Adam to finally come to market, there is a seems to be a limitless supply of cheaper devices to keep us busy. The Cruz Reader [...]

The process for gaining root access on the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S is quite easy. Simply boot up the phone and flash a hacked update.zip file and you’re done. The method was first successfully performed by Russian developer LesharK, but the guys at XDA-Developers took it a step further and got the [...]

A whole lot of hub bub has popped up over the past day or so about an apparent Motorola Droid X inventory crisis. An inventory crisis that exists before Verizon has even moved one unit out the door. I’m not buying into the fear-mongering. The Droid Incredible, now that’s a bit of an inventory crisis, [...]

More news regarding the Samsung Galaxy Tab – Samsung’s enthusiastic stab at the iPad – has just rolled in. According to Forbes, JK Shin – head of Samsung Mobile – has confirmed that the Galaxy Tab will have a front-facing camera like its smaller Galaxy S descendants (internationally, anyway). Also confirmed is a launch window: [...]

It’s not often we see an Android device with a portrait mode physical keyboard. It’s even more rare to see a device with a portrait mode physical keyboard which is exposed by a vertical sliding mechanism. That’s exactly what Alcatel’s bringing with the OT-980. We first suggested that this was the same device that snuck [...]

In a move that surprises no one (they rarely do), Dan Hesse – Sprint’s CEO – has gone on record stating that the company’s still considering a merger with T-Mobile sometime down the line. Even if Deutsche Telekom – T-Mobile’s parent company – feels that T-Mobile’s doing just fine on their own, Sprint would beg [...]
