The Onion has finally released their Onion News Network app for Android. If you’re anything like me, you enjoy a satirical take on news of all sorts including political, world, technology, and more. The Onion provides that break in the day that you can’t get anywhere else while still sometimes managing to keep you up [...]

The Korean Samsung Galaxy S (being soled exclusively with SK Telecom) has been a huge success. We just reported the recently-crossed milestone of SKT selling 200,000 units (which considers the phone a hit), and now – in just another few short days – it’s surpassed 300,000 units sold. The Galaxy S has been out in [...]

Orange is bringing in a device that we didn’t expect would look so good. The ZTE Blade was first spotted at the Mobile World Congress this past february, but little was known about the device and where it was headed. It’s being called “Project JAL” around the ‘sphere and – if some of these early [...]

We’re not surprised that the Droid X has received yet another OTA update (and we won’t be surprised if we see another the day before it officially launches: tomorrow), but here’s to comprehensive coverage of all things Android! If you’ve already gotten a Motorola Droid X (either through the DroidLanding contest or by way of [...]

In a trend that’s beginning to annoy many Android 1.5 and 1.6 (cupcake and donut, respectively) users out there, many new apps completely disregard the still-quite-large fanbase of users that haven’t gotten the pleasure of upgrading to Android 2.0+. Fortunately, Google hears you guys and is looking to spread the word to developers regarding a [...]

The international version of the Samsung Galaxy S has been rolling out across the world for the past month or so, and though this particular version won’t be hitting a US carrier proper (that we know of) we managed to get our mits on the handset for a chance to put it through the paces. [...]

A surprising amount of people were excited about the release of the Motorola CHARM through T-Mobile. The Blackberry-esque form-factor would appeal to a select group of people while the device’s mid-ranged internals would go easy on the pockets (they’ll supposedly be offering the device for free in a Back to School sale). One benefit of [...]

I know, I know, for many of us it may be more than just a little tempting to gently stroke that little green robot as you boot up your phone or a newly installed ROM for the first time. We all have enough loving for the green guy to go around, but sometimes it may [...]

The Samsung Vibrant is officially bumped up to a July 15th release (that’s this Thursday), so what better what then to whet your appetite then with a new promotional video showing yet another spin on the Galaxy S line. With all the news rolling in about Samsung’s flagship Android smartphone there isn’t much to add [...]

HTC Droid Eris owners it looks like you are next in line for an OTA update from Verizon, and no it isn’t Android 2.2 (you aren’t getting that lucky). Instead, come July 16th, you’ll be getting a handful of improvements to make your handset all that it can be for the time being. How’s that [...]

I’m not usually one to get too excited about concepts drawn up by third parties showcasing devices that will most likely never even cross the desk of the design team of any manufacturer, but the following personal design project for the next generation of HTC handsets is actually kind of neat for several reasons. Not [...]

We have known of MediaTek’s intentions to get their low-cost CPUs into more and more Android handsets for a while now, but today’s announcement that they have officially joined the Google-led Open Handset Alliance signals that they are committed more than ever to the idea. In the past, patent issues with Qualcomm prevented MediaTek from [...]

Well this just sounds downright petty. Fring was long being heralded as the video-chatting tool of choice for many new devices to launch in recent weeks with a front-facing camera (including the Samsung Galaxy S, the HTC EVO 4G, and the iPhone 4). Their service allowed you to chat not only with other Fring users, [...]

We’re only three days away from Verizon’s big launch day for the Motorola Droid X, so we naturally expected they’d have devices headed to some of their stores already. Droid-Life’s received internal inventory shots showing at least two stores in Portland, OR already has some in stock. One of the stores is an authorized Verizon [...]

Many people on all sides of this equation aren’t happy. HTC EVO 4G owners can’t get replacement phones if Sprint can’t keep them in stock. Would-be EVO owners remain on the sidelines waiting for supply to come to terms with demand. HTC’s missing out on shipping one of the hottest devices in America, and Sprint [...]

Sprint’s pushing that 4G wagon right along with a round of new launches this morning. those of you in Rochester and Syracuse, New York, Merced and Visalia, California, Tri-Cities and Yakima, Washington and Eugene, Oregon can flip that 4G switch on your HTC EVO 4G to be greeted with download speeds of 3-6mbps. As the [...]

We know that all of the Galaxy S phones are bound to receive Android 2.2 at one point or another: this launch is too big for Samsung to leave even one crowd out of the picture. At least for one market, however, we can extract a broad-sounding window for its release. The Samsung Galaxy M110S [...]

It was once believed that the T-Mobile G1 (aka Android Dev Phone 1 in the developer circuit and HTC Dream in other parts of the world) could never die: it was, after all, the first Android device ever created that brought about a ridiculous amount of support from nearly every major player in every part [...]

At least that’s what I thought was going to happen within the first 5 seconds of this video. Google’s gone ahead and released the App Inventor, a DIY app creation tool that literally requires you to possess just a little grain of knowledge on how to put pieces of a puzzle together. The drag-and-drop, menu-driven [...]

If AndroLib’s data is accurate, then we can say that the Android market has just surpassed the 90,000 mark. Over 8,000 new apps (quality not being counted here, of course) have already been added this month and it’s only July 12th. If the trend continues (as the chart below illustrates) we could be seeing that [...]
