A year ago, we told you that the CEO of Meizu addressed fanboys about their pursuit of Android. Then, a few months ago we told you that the company known for iPhone lookalikes was poised to launch the Meizu M9 with Android 2.1. Today we get more details. In a post on the company’s forum, [...]

Samsung seems to have had an SOS mission the past two months in South Korea – “Sell Our (Galaxy) S”. Apparently the mobile maker has sold 800,000 units over the past 2 months in their native market alone. It’s likely the hottest handset in South Korea, but it’s gradually becoming available around the world. According [...]

It’s probably not of primary concern when comparison shopping for Android Phones, but the Motorola Droid can, “take pictures from outer space so clear that you can see the curvature of the earth.” Bobby Russell, a scientifically curious man from San Diego, launched a weather balloon on August 16th. Attached to that weather balloon was [...]

Cricket’s finally announced pricing and availability for their newest Android phone – the Sanyo Zio by Kyocera – and has opened up the floodgates for pre-ordering. If you enjoy Cricket’s low-cost, easy-on-the-wallet service, this phone’s price might make you just as happy: it’ll only cost $249.99 off contract. Let’s be clear: you’re not getting a [...]

According to Symantec, a game called Tap Snake – a snake clone that I was unable to find in the Android market – poses as an innocent game, but beneath its slinky apple-eating core is a trojan that tracks your GPS coordinates (along with the dates and times you were at those locations) and can [...]

For those of you on Virgin in the UK with the HTC Desire and HTC Wildfire, your upgrade to Android 2.2 is currently in the works. Early September was the timeframe given by the carrier’s Twitter account. Early September could mean anything between the 1st and 15th (technically the 15th is the middle of the [...]

Another quarter, another slew of HTC codenames. This time, AndroidGuys has been tipped with four new HTC codenames: the HTC Speedy, HTC Blitz, HTC Mecha, and HTC Spade. I always look forward to these onslaughts: it’s amusing to realize HTC possibly has way too many phones to put a unique name to each and every [...]

Even if this supposed Google Tablet is said to run Google’s SSD-only Chrome operating system, we always feel the need to report on it as it’s a very important fork in Android’s side: Google’s not done much to help the growing tablet market surrounding Android (not yet, anyway), but a ChromeOS-enabled tablet would help fill [...]

It’s really a shame that hardly anyone outside of the development community understands what Adobe AIR is, because it is actually pretty damn cool. Flash enables web content in your mobile browser, and that’s all fine and good. But those experiences are still stuck in your browser. They still exist as merely part of a [...]

85 percent of Alexa top 100 sites. 70 percent of web games. 75 percent of web video. 98 percent of internet connected computers. What do all of these have in common? Flash. Those percentages represent just how large of a presence Flash holds over web content, and it just begs the question ‘Why not?’ Why [...]

It’s August 18th, and that means – if the rumor was true – the rest of Verizon’s Motorola Droid customers should be seeing the upgrade to Android 2.2 today. Verizon did confirm that rollouts for the firmware upgrade would be resuming, but to be fair to them, they didn’t give a date to begin with: [...]

The Samsung EPIC 4G is officially coming August 31st, and if any of Sprint’s past high-profile launches are anything to go by, then they’ll be shipping some phones to stores early for their “advocates” (employees that will extensively use the device to get familiar with it and train the rest of their team) to sink [...]

Consider this the David vs Goliath of teardowns: the Dell Streak is one big phone and iFixIt took to it with confidence. Fortunately, that confidence was quite unnecessary due to the fact that the Dell Streak didn’t put up much of a fight at all when they attempted to take the thing apart. The images [...]

Remember that HSPA+ device that T-Mobile teased us about not too long ago? It’s officially being dubbed the T-Mobile G2! While we still have yet to see any official shots or specs of the device itself, we at least know that the wait is almost over. The G2 is being considered T-Mobile’s “official” successor to [...]

Motorola’s keeping their arms just as wide as they’ve ever had them to invite developers to create apps for many of Motorola’s newest smartphones (which are all Android, obviously). With that, they’ve started up a series of videos dubbed MOTODEV News where they’ll discuss the latest in the world of Motorola such as new devices, [...]

We first got word that AT&T would be carrying a squarish Motorloa device (that looked to be a Motorola FlipOut) when a photo was leaked with shortcuts to AT&T apps on the device’s homescreen and AT&T’s carrier branding on the lockscreen. The little bugger has popped back, apparently, but Gizmodo describes it as having a [...]

If you’re on a rooted device with the latest version of CyanogenMod and the newest GAPPS distribution package, you probably already know that Google’s been working on improving that already-decent GMail client of theirs. There are two very notable changes to be had: you now have floating reply controls no matter where you are in [...]

Did you know HTC has their own retail locations in the Czech Republic and Russia? I didn’t either, but after realizing just how cool it’d be for them to have their own retail location through Europe, North America, and other parts of the world, I’m hoping they don’t stop there. The Prague location in the [...]

Waking up to a wallet that you’re just itching to open? If you’re looking for a new phone and like what the Samsung Galaxy S has to offer, T-Mobile’s giving you a brief period to upgrade to their latest Android handset for just $99.99 – $100 cheaper than what it normally retails for. I imagine [...]

With a 2.8″ QVGA screen running Android 2.2, I doubt the ARCHOS A28 will be marketed as anything but a PMP or MID. Following on the heels of the ARCHOS 32, the ARCHOS A28 minidroid just passed the FCC and signs are pointing away from this being a phone or tablet. I suppose that depends [...]
