While you may or may not eagerly be awaiting the chance to snag FRG22D and install the official release of Flash 10.1, why delay it until the OTA gets around to your handset? You can download and manually install the update right now and forego weeks worth of comments saying “I’m in Grand Rapids, still [...]

The official Froyo update for the HTC EVO 4G could only stymy root so long, as it too has been cracked to provide super user access for Android 2.2. There are step by step instructions over at XDA, though this isn’t your pappy’s easy-as-pie Android 2.1 root method. No, you will need to get a [...]

It’s no mystery that Google is hard at work bringing their Chrome OS tablet to market — all indications are that big G is pushing for a Black Friday release later this year — and a recent trademark filing may shed a bit of light on what they plan to call it (or at least [...]

The mystery of the HTC Merge/ ADR6325 may be one step closer to solved. The phone which we first brought to you as a mere inventory listing in Verizon’s database and then later saw updated to the Merge name has just passed through the approval process of the GCF with quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support and [...]

No wonder Verizon was quick to debunk the rumor that Froyo for the HTC Droid Incredible wouldn’t be coming out September 1st. DroidLife has gotten their hands on a bit of evidence that in plain English states the update should be rolling out tomorrow. So if you were at your wits end and ready to [...]

There is no denying Google’s desire to crush Apple in the smartphone market, but their jabs at the fruit-themed company tend to be a bit more subtle. That isn’t the case with this third-party advertisement found in Grenada, Mississippi, which takes the gloves off and approaches the Apple vs. Android debate with the fervor of [...]

Droids everywhere have been getting their upgrade to Android 2.2 lately, but until now, Flash for the device wasn’t available. Just as we expected, Verizon’s officially rolling out the last piece to the delicious Froyo puzzle that you guys have been waiting for. The upgrade should go through very quickly and after you’ve gotten stepped [...]

We’ve seen Exploded Andy – where we got a good look at the guts of an Android robot – and we’ve seen our mascot take on Steve Jobs and his iOS army in Andy vs Apple. Now, the Ghostbusters are in town to try and take down Android who is causing some major destruction. It’s [...]

We can’t always write about the greener pastures of Android, right? Facebook’s Joe Hewitt – one of the developers responsible for iOS’s Facebook app – switched over to the Android team and his findings were undesirable, to say the least: he called his experiences with the Android platform “horrendous”. It wasn’t just the development tools [...]

If you’re weird like me and you like to satisfy your phone cravings with a nice read of a device’s user manual (and if the specific phone you’re looking forward to is the Samsung EPIC 4G) , then the manual is available now in digital form (.pdf) straight from Samsung. While you might think you [...]

You might be getting sick of these “in-the-wild” stories by now, but this one deserved its own: we’ve finally gotten clear footage of the tablet being worked out in depth. Korean outlet Digital Times is the first to give us a quick look at many of the Galaxy Tab’s features, including keyboard play, web browsing, [...]

The Samsung Fascinate has been the one Galaxy S smartphone we haven’t heard too much about, lately. The Vibrant and Captivate launched for T-Mobile and AT&T without a fuss – and we’re just days away from the launch of the Epic 4G – but Verizon’s been very quiet on their plans to launch the phone. [...]

The other day, we forgot to mention the status of the upgrade to Android 2.2 for our Latin Motorola Milestone-owning brethren (as well as the upgrade to 2.1 for the DEXT and BACKFLIP). If you felt sorry for the Canadians not seeing Froyo until 2011, then there simply is no good news to be had [...]

As many of you in the comments alluded to, its best to only get excited about an upgrade until at actually starts happening as the rumored September 1st date for the Droid Incredible’s upgrade to Android 2.2 has already been debunked by Verizon. Still, it appears that a new RUU for the upgrade is floating [...]

TeleNav’s helping to keep you safe on the road by automating your need to inform people you’re meeting with that you’re running late. The app’s name is OnMyWay and is being launched today in the Android market. The concept is simple (and quite frankly, it’s nothing we haven’t seen before): you enter your appointment details [...]

After getting its official outing by Samsung ahead of its September 2nd unveiling in Berlin, the Samsung Galaxy Tab can’t seem to stay out of the spotlight. GizChina caught video of the device just minding its own business and took it for a very brief whirl. We didn’t get the most comprehensive look at what [...]

We hadn’t seen it for ourselves – as we’re not the type to crack open source files once they hit the internet – but apparently the firmware build that we saw leaked yesterday for the T-Mobile G2 held a couple of more secrets. Namely, Cyanogen discovered references to Qualcomm’s MSM7x30 chipset, though there is no [...]

A few days ago, we heard about the Motorola MB520 Kobe – a device headed straight for AT&T and looking quite decent, from where I stand. Then, we learned of some initial specs: 256MB of RAM, 512MB of ROM, a PowerVR 540 GPU, and an underclocked TI OMAP 3430 processor – they made up the [...]

Things have been quiet concerning the HTC Droid Incredible’s update to Froyo since a rumor that it would be released last week fizzled out. That means it is just about time to start playing with Incredible owners’ emotions again. This time we are hearing the update should be headed to the handset beginning September 1st. [...]

Oftentimes when making the decision over which phone to purchase, battery life may have to take a backseat in order to take advantage of certain features. Such is the case with devices featuring AMOLED displays, as they recently found themselves at the bottom of the heap compared to phones featuring LCD displays in terms of [...]
