The LG GT540, known as the Optimus in most areas where it has been released, looks to be landing at Canada’s Rogers very soon. They recently received dummy units to showcase the mid-range Android offering that MobileSyrup speculates might launch around $29.99 on a three-year contract. We’re still waiting for LG to man up and [...]

Hey guys! It’s Derek! And he is super excited to show you all the Motorola Droid 2! In this walkthrough video! The guy seems a bit high-strung, but the phone is looking as good as it ever did. Check out the video below for Verizon’s walkthrough of their latest to join the outstanding line of [...]

We’re not sure if you can really call a device with a 3.2-inch display a tablet (we are thinking that’s more in the range of MID), but Archos has gone ahead and done it. Their Archos 32 Internet Tablet has hit the FCC, leaving a trail of pictures and even a manual in its wake. [...]

If you haven’t manually updated your Motorola Droid to Android 2.2 or have yet to receive the update over-the-air, expect to wait until as late as the 18th of August for Froyo to hit your device. This is the date a recent Verizon document pegs as the projected end of the roll out of the [...]

We have just received word from a reliable source that could shed some light on what the mysterious “Project Emerald” at T-Mobile really is. Many speculated it might be a re-launch of the Sidekick brand, but according to our anonymous tipster, Emerald actually entails the release of two “3.5G” devices. What are the two new [...]

Earlier today a leaked build of the TweetDeck beta leaked to much jubilation around the internets. But the folks over at TweetDeck are saying hold your horses, that version isn’t the build we will be seeing tomorrow when the official public beta launches. I know, I know. Waiting is such a hard thing to do [...]

Still no word when the Milestone might be getting Froyo, but a minor update to the Android 2.1 software has been issued to deal with bug fixes and overall improvements to the OS. The update is being pushed over the air, but if you are impatient and want to get your Milestone up to the [...]

Et tu, eFuse. The Motorola Droid X has just received a taste of big things to come, as Android hacker Birdman has succesfully pushed a custom recovery image onto the handset. With this move, the Droid X has crossed over from the realm of what-if to an almost reality full of nandroid backups and custom [...]

We can check off the Viliv S5 tablet from the list of devices awaiting a Froyo port. The Intel-based tablet has received a fairly functional version of Android 2.2 for the x86 device. A major setback for getting a fully up-to-speed version of Android on the S5 is the inclusion of proprietary Intel drivers that [...]

What’s that? Android is becoming more and more mainstream? Whudda thunkit! This isn’t the first time an Android device has been featured in a popular television show, but we still get a bit happy in our pa– er, brains every time we see one. This time, the HTC EVO 4G steps onto the set of [...]

Ahead of TweetDeck’s schedule, the .APK file for what might be the beta for their official Android app has been leaked out. An anonymous tipster sent us the .apk file and – because we’re curious – we thought we’d give it a quick install. First thing’s first: when someone tells you it’s a beta, believe [...]

The Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate, specifically) was successfully overclocked to 1.2GHz the other day  (stability pending), but what if you could overclock it to 1.6GHz? According to the hacker that produced the first OC kernel for the device, it’s definitely possible. It’s very scary, too. I could run the Pentagon with a 1.6GHz Samsung Galaxy [...]

What’s a phone without some great accessories to back it up? Samsung’s unveiled a premium line of accessories for their Samsung Galaxy S phones – all inclusive – that should get a majority of you potential buyers (and current owners) ready to throw down the green for them. Offerings include a desktop and car dock, [...]

The HTC Desire that we’ve been waiting on for so long is finally on its way to the United States courtesy of regional carrier US Cellular. Starting August 27th, you’ll be able to order one of these at your local store or online. The Nexus One with Sense (as many called it when it was [...]

Well I’ll be. We all knew Verizon would be dropping the HTC Droid Eris from its lineup, but we didn’t know it’d be resurrected in this way: if you go to Disney World sometime in the future, you may be able to scoop up a GPS-enabled Tour Guide that’s essentially the Droid Eris with custom [...]

HTC’s gone ahead and released the FroYo-base Android 2.2 source code for their two biggest (or most powerful, more appropriately) Sense-enabled handsets in the United States: the HTC EVO 4G and the HTC Droid Incredible. This is business as usual with these releases opening up many possibilities for developers – such as Cyanogen’s group – [...]

Cellular South customers (would-be or otherwise) might be pleased to know that the Motorola Milestone is now available for purchase as of today. For $149.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a two-year agreement, you can get the device that originally launched in Europe as their version of Verizon’s Motorola Droid. There’s nothing much different [...]

The Chinese Motorola Ming A1680 is a device that – to us – looks quite interesting and borderline weird: that could just be due to the fact that we haven’t seen an Android handset in this form factor (ie, the Krave form factor that many-a Verizon customer would be used to). The A1680 showed up [...]

While LG’s mobile division may have gotten off to a rocky start this year, they aren’t going to just wait while every other competitor with Android soars in their endeavors. In an attempt to streamline their portfolio, LG’s looking to cut their handset offering in half – 70 models down from 145 – in order [...]

Many of you were excited that TweetDeck would be bringing an Android app out soon – with a public beta starting sometime this week – but I can’t imagine how you’ll react to a quick video that the company’s CEO  has put out showing the login process. I know: what’s exciting about someone logging in? [...]
