It’s August 31st and that means some of you will be up bright and early to head out for the Samsung EPIC 4G. We know Sprint’s opening their stores at 8am across the country for the special occasion, and we know you guys’ll be there an hour early unable to contain your excitement. You can [...]

When the Motorola DROID X got all of the attention a couple of weeks ago when Koush was the first to provide a faux recovery for which to flash custom ROMs (and perform other functions), many Motorola DROID 2 owners hoped for something similar. It just so happens that the two devices – which are [...]

Didn’t fancy September 9th as a rumored launch date for the last of the US-bound Galaxy S phones, the Samsung Fascinate? Why not try September 8th on, for size? A newly leaked product launch guide suggests that we’ll be seeing the device that Wednesday instead of that Thursday. There’s no real reason to go into [...]

Google’s quick loss of their newly-hired gaming advocate Mark DeLoura isn’t going to stop them from realizing their goals: to push Android gaming forward. Today, SocialDeck‘s announced that they’ve been formally acquired by Google. No details on the acquisition have been revealed yet, but it’s worthy to note that SocialDeck’s prowess extends beyond mobile: it’s [...]

Remember this little piece of Blackberry Torch-like magic? It seemed like just yesterday that the interwebz gave birth to the Motorola-crafted device, but it’s all grown up and gotten rid of the blurrycam that most infant devices are plagued with. We can at least confirm its name to be the Motorola XT300 as the last [...]

It can be easy to get lost in the parade of reports of more recent Android handsets getting upgraded to Android 2.1 or 2.2, but let’s not forget that there are still some devices out there still on 1.5. It’s no Froyo, but O2 Germany’s Samsung Galaxy users (yes, the old Galaxy that we used [...]

If you’re looking forward to Google TV, you might want to circle September 29th on your calendar? The Android Only developers conference is going on in Stockholm, Sweden that day and according to one of the conference organizers, the world’s first Google TV will be on hand for everyone to marvel at. It’s most probably [...]

Sony Ericsson’s UK Twitter account today tweeted that Android 2.1 for their Xperia X10 phones – the X10 itself, the Mini, and the keyboard-sporting Mini Pro – should all be seeing Android 2.1 right before September comes to a close. As their UK account tipped everyone off to that piece of news, we can’t confirm [...]

Oh, did Oracle think Google was just going to sit on their hands and take this beating without fighting back? The recent lawsuit slapped onto Google’s foreheads over apparent copyright and patent infringements in Android’s Dalvik VM won’t just affect the outcome of the courtroom: it’s going to affect everyone in the Java and open [...]

Garmin – off of the heals of their poor performance in the United States market with the T-Mobile Garminfone – aren’t slowing down as they’re taking their Android-based Garmin business elsewhere: to Taiwan. The Garmin-ASUS A10 will have a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscree, a 5-megapixel camera, 512MB of RAM, and will come preinstalled with Android 2.1 [...]

Microsoft’s today announced the official availability of the Bing app for Android. The app – which is free to download – will only show up in your Android market if you’re using a Verizon phone so don’t get too mad if you can’t find it (that would also tip us off to the fact that [...]

So we’re pretty sure the Motorola FlipOut is still headed for AT&T. Even if the device isn’t that powerful, it’s still pretty cool and will appeal to a lot of people. That said, we’re still trying to see how this one will differ from the international version already released in other parts of the world. [...]

Samsung Firmwares has come through again, but this time we’re treated to a leaked Froyo-based build for the Samsung Galaxy S. There’s not much to say here, though, because the main thing everyone is waiting for has yet to come: Quadrant, Neocore, and Linpack goodness. Unfortunately the leak has yet to actually surface, but it’s [...]

It’s one thing to be able to view your account information and details from the palm of your hand, but it’s another to be able to manage most of the aspects of your wireless phone service from Verizon without having to call them or head over to their website. That’s the type of functionality today’s [...]

Yes, folks: it’s still ridiculously easy to root Samsung Galaxy S phones, and the Samsung EPIC 4G for Sprint is no exception to that rule. The device isn’t set to release until tomorrow, but it’s already been rooted by one developer that was able to get it into his hands early (it was actually discovered [...]

It’s always a sad day when I have to report about the eventual kicking of the bucket for any Android handset. Today, TmoNews’ source says that three of T-Mobile’s Android phones will be hitting end-of-life on October 4th. The MyTouch 1.2 (the one with the 3.5mm headphone jack, more memory, etc.), the Motorola CLIQ, and [...]

Toshiba’s Android tablet that we first heard about last week is shaping up to be one of the best devices in the category, at least going off of a new set of specs we are hearing today. What we were calling the SmartPad now carries the branding Folio 100, and packs enough power to easily [...]

Still searching for their first Android hit, LG appears to be taking some cues from the form factor of the Samsung Galaxy S with their latest handset to be pictured. The LG E720 is said to be an Android 2.2 device with a 3.2-inch display and a midrange Qualcomm MSM7227 processor. A 5MP camera rounds [...]

Google Shopper is a combination of several products and services (from Google Goggles to Google shopping search) into a neat and tidy package that helps you find great deals on the things you purchase. The initial release wasn’t without its problems, and the app hasn’t necessarily caught on as the go-to barcode scanning and shopping [...]

Before Samsung can even get their Galaxy Tab out in their home nation, carrier KT is bringing their own slate device to Korea. On paper the device matches up with the Galaxy Tab in several areas, but given its limited release the KT Identity Tab probably won’t make a huge impact on sales of Samsung’s [...]
