The answer to the mysterious FRG22D Froyo update question has finally been answered, and just as suspected the firmware in question will bring Flash 10.1 as a download from the market while providing various security patches and bug fixes. Documentation has gone live on Verizon’s support page, but no date is given for the rollout [...]

Owners of the European HTC Hero, HTC Legend, HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire, and HTC Aria can now download a new version of HTC Sync to optimize synchronization between PC and handset. The description provided doesn’t shed much light on what is new in the latest version, but it might be safe to assume that it [...]

We first heard of Toshiba’s tablet plans last week with more details expected to show up IFA next month (at this point we could rename the event in Berlin TabletCon), and while we heard whisperings of some specs very little was given to go off of. Now we have our first look at the tablet, [...]

It seems a rare occasion when a carrier or manufacturer sticks firmly to their update plans, but just as promised last week the HTC Desire on Vodafone is beginning to receive its update to Android 2.2 today. Aside from being an update to the most recent version of Android, this firmware will also remove the [...]

Something tells me I should have stuck with computer programming courses past high school, as one successful Android developer has made quite the living off of just one offering in the Market. Aaron La, developer of Advanced Task Manager has pulled in just over $77,000 dollars through sales and ad revenue related to the app. [...]

Indian manufacturer Allgo is set to tempt all Android lovers with their latest offering, not so much for its specs or features but rather for the price that will make it a hard deal to turn down regardless of what you get in return. For just $50, Allgo is offering the Stamp featuring Android packed [...]

Adobe officially released the final build of Flash 10.1 for Android last week, but it was only available to those Nexus One users who could install it from the Android Market. For owners of Froyo-packing handsets that either received the beta of Flash along with their update or no Flash at all as is the [...]

Back when tablet announcements were few the Velocity Micro Cruz Reader and Cruz Tablet caused a little bit of a stir, but in the wake of countless slate announcements from other companies, news on the two Android devices turned up scant. The tablets were recently scoped on video, and if that got you anticipating the [...]

With the recent tablet boom, e-readers have fallen into a bit of blind area. Generally they aren’t as capable as tablet devices of a similar size and don’t offer the same bang for your buck. A few companies are moving towards fuller-featured e-reading devices, one such being PocketBook, a company that will bring a 7-inch [...]

When new Samsung Galaxy S firmware became available via Samsung’s own KIES, an interesting discussion surrounding the update popped up along with the revelation that Vodafone users employing the update will void their warranty. The issue is that if Vodafone does not expressly approve a firmware update the warranty from Vodafone is voided, even if [...]

With Froyo being all the rage these days, it is sometimes easy to forget that some devices aren’t even up on Android 2.1 yet. Such is the case for the oft forgotten Samsung Galaxy Portal. The Portal launched with Android 2.1 when released on Three’s network, but the T-Mobile UK variant has been stuck behind [...]

ViewSonic’s most recent tablet plans look to bring a slate that lets you have your cake and eat it too with a new 10-inch design that will dual-boot Android and Windows. No other information on the device has been released, but the company will be showcasing the new tab at September’s IFA. While ViewSonic hasn’t [...]

In the wilds are nothing new, but I always seem to get a little happy whenever I see the Galaxy Tab – Samsung’s 7-inch Android-based tablet – pop up. This time is a bit more special: we might actually have a shot of the device moving about on video. It was last seen taking a [...]

If anyone didn’t see this coming, then you’ll never see anything coming: Android developers – not actual Google engineers – are upset with Oracle over the lawsuit Google called “baseless”. If you haven’t heard, Oracle’s taking their Sun banner and trying to milk it for all its monetization worth by claiming patents and copyrights within [...]

It’s usually a painful (and intimidating, depending on the carrier) process to SIM unlock a device, but the Samsung Galaxy S’s unlock codes for the American GSM versions – AT&T’s Captivate and T-Mobile’s Vibrant – are so easily attainable that you don’t need to make a phone call to anyone: they’re stored in a .BAK [...]

=One thing that came out of the recently leaked Android 2.2 upgrade for the Motorola Droid X was the now-new possibility for it to play flash. This isn’t unlike anything we’ve seen before – you can expect pretty much the same thing on the Droid 2 – but I must admit it looks especially nice [...]

A new device named the Motorola Kobe – model number MB520 – is beginning to make its rounds just after we heard about the battle-hardened Jordan a few days ago. According to Engadget – who was able to confirm the device’s existence with their trusted source – the Kobe will be a slate-style smartphone with [...]

Motorola – one of the better manufacturers when it comes to transparency in their upgrade plans – has once again updated their chart to reflect the latest ETA on upgrades for several of their phone. We’re still waiting for Eclair to hit the CLIQ and CLIQ XT, but it shouldn’t be a long wait now [...]

The Motorola Droid 2 has probably been the quietest of Verizon’s launches in terms of OTA upgrades out of the box, but they’ve finally released a minor one that brings about some decent changes and enhancements you’ll probably be looking for. Improvements: Enabled text and picture message scrolling. Streamlined set up of Visual Voice Mail [...]

If the wait for the Dell Streak in the United States seemed long after it was freely available in Europe, just imagine the pangs of those in Asia lusting after the monster phone. During a phone interview with reporters, Steve Felice of Dell spoke on the matter. “We have not yet announced the expansion plans [...]
