It’s been a while since Sony Ericsson announced the non-Eclair upgrade for their Xperia X10 users – said to considerably improve battery life and bring about better performance – but O2′s finally ready to deliver it to their customers. It’s Firmware R2BA020 – the same build with the WiFi bug – but perhaps it’s a [...]

HTC’s quality assurance team has seemingly overlooked the calendar in the upgrade to Android 2.2 as a nasty bug has just popped up: if you ever need to jump back into a calendar event to edit the time, prepare to be faced with the additional task of re-entering the description as the event’s “Where” field [...]

Those rumors we reported on earlier are starting to come together, just as they always do. The king of leaks – otherwise known as Big Red (or officially known as Verizon) – had its inventory system exposed yet again to show two devices we heard about in the leaked timeline about a week ago: the [...]

While Sprint may have lost the NFL license to Verizon, they aren’t shying away from their commitment they made to many football fans when their version of NFL Mobile Live was still available. Today’s upgrade brings a slew of new features including the ability to stream live college games from ESPN Mobile TV and all [...]

In other news, your mouth leaves saliva on whatever you put inside it! Alright, enough of the ridiculing, but I had to considering how this security “research” report sounds: according to a paper by the University of Pennsylvania, Android users face a security risk that sees the oil from their fingers left on the screen [...]

Tumblr released their official Android application for the Android market this past weekend, if you haven’t already heard, downloaded, and micro-blogged your boredom away. If you already know what Tumblr is, then you’re already headed to the Android market to check out this companion app. If you don’t know, then it’s best to describe Tumblr [...]

As we inch closer to an expected official revelation at IFA next month, more details and rumors regarding the Samsung Galaxy Tab have eeked out. Today, we learn that the device may be headed to Vodafone on contract, if this inventory shot that Engadget scraped up is anything to go by. No pricing details were [...]

Last week, it was revealed that AT&T would be bringing Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 to their store shelves to provide another option to their steady-growing lineup of Android-based products, and that officially went down yesterday. For $149.99 and a two-year contract with them, you can grab up the device that is still considered high-end up [...]

If you thought the 3-4 weeks that other carriers had been pegged with for upgrades to Android 2.2 on various phones was a long wait, just wait until you hear this one: O2 UK doesn’t expect to have the HTC Desire’s FroYo upgrade out and about for at least another 6-8 weeks, according to sources [...]

One of the biggest questions many Nexus One users had when Google decided to pull the plug on distribution of the phone themselves was: “How will we be able to purchase non-used accessories?” Thankfully, HTC acknowledged the murmurs and began offering them on their European site. At that time, we weren’t sure if users in [...]

Federico – LauncherPro’s developer – is making steady progress on his desire to emulate what HTC’s done with their innovative, scrollable widgets: he’s now added an SMS widget to the latest version of Plus. The SMS widget joins bookmarks, contacts, and calendar to make a beautiful package that should make even the biggest Sense fan [...]

Well, I just got into San Francisco where I will be attending the Adobe Android Summit, the culmination of the company’s work to bring their Flash platform to mobile devices. Try as hard as he may, tomorrow morning will prove that Steve Jobs wasn’t single handedly able to kill off the service that has become [...]

Looks like we won’t be limited to just blurrycam shots of Verizon’s R2D2 edition of their newly launched Motorola Droid 2.  While the phone itself isn’t pictured here (just a shot of it in front of an R2D2 silhouette) something really awesome is: an authentic R2D2 figurine. It would be sweet if Verizon included one of [...]

This week’s Samsung event came and went with no mention of the Galaxy S PMP, but that hasn’t stopped the device from making an appearance. This latest image doesn’t do much to shed more light on the media player featuring Android and the TouchWiz 3.0 interface; about the only thing we can take away is [...]

Not a great deal of information is known about Asus’ entry into the Android tablet arena (the above is an image of their similar Windows tablet), but that doesn’t mean we can’t know the pricing and release date. What we are looking at is a $400 price tag accompanying a release in March 2011. Yes, [...]

Now that Verizon’s first handset to ship with Android 2.2 is out on shelves and the original Motorola Droid has resumed its update to Froyo, sights are set back on the HTC Droid Incredible, a handset that some of its owners believe is oft neglected in Big Red’s Android lineup. According to sources within Verizon, [...]

Carla Saavedra, web product analyst for Samsung Mobile support, recently tweeted information about a software update Samsung is hard at work on to fix the GPS problems that plague the Galaxy S line of Android smartphones. According to Saavedra, the update should be available in September. The Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Captivate seem to be [...]

The Motorola Droid X draws one step closer to custom ROM support. Not long after Birdman tweeted (see what I did there?) the successful push of a custom recovery image onto the X, Mr. Koush let loose an image of his Clockwork Recovery booted up on the handset. While it sounds more like the cast of [...]

Google isn’t pleased with the latest suit filed against them and their open source Android OS. Oracle is claiming that seven of their patents are infringed upon in Android and its accompanying Dalvik virtual machine. The suit has dollar signs written all over, as Oracle recently acquired Sun Microsystems with intentions to reap the benefits [...]

The Augen Gentouch 78 tablet has been in the news quite a bit recently. It first popped up as a pleasant surprise in K-Mart’s inventory without much prior information to its release, only for new buyer’s to find out it contained an unlicensed Android Market that couldn’t download and install applications to the device. While [...]
