Who doesn’t love the strange? A little extramarital coitus. You know what I’m talking about. Android users, iPhone users. We can’t get enough of it, or that’s what one study conducted by AshleyMadison.com is reporting. As a point of reference, AshleyMadison is a service geared towards helping those in relationships to find individuals with which [...]

The Samsung Galaxy U has been made official, confirming the specs we posted up yesterday. As far as Galaxy phones are concerned, this is Samsung’s closest release to the Galaxy S that isn’t the Galaxy S, and the same can be said for the price tag. Called the Galaxy U for a “Unique” grip, “Ultimate” [...]

A little more info has come to light regarding what we have been calling the LG enV Touch 2 that we recently learned will sport Android as OS of choice.. It looks like the name that will stick with the device is the enV G, and the internals have potential to stack up to a [...]

According to the latest data by analytics firm Research2guidance, the mobile app market for smartphones is quickly growing to be a highly profitable industry. Earning $2.2 billion for the first half of 2010, 3.8 billion downloads tops the number of total downloads for all of 2009, which sat at 3.1 billion. But taking it one [...]

Most sliders stick to a pretty tried-and-true format, literally comprised of two halves that slide apart to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. The upcoming T-Mobile G2 accomplishes the same task, though the mechanism in place to divide the handset into its keyboard and screen is slightly different than what we are used to judging by a [...]

As they say, it never hurts to ask. And when it comes to Android updates sometimes you even get a response. Such is the case with the latest back and forth between T-Mobile UK support and customers questioning when the HTC Desire would receive its Android 2.2 update. With Vodafone promising Froyo for their Desire [...]

That was quick! Just a day shy of T-Mobile’s (USA) official announcement of the T-Mobile G2, Engadget‘s already gotten a first shot of the device in the wild.  This technically isn’t the first time we’ve seen the device, though, as some of you may remember the HTC Vision being leaked a while back – it’s [...]

Like StumbleUpon? Then you might want to check out their Android app that’s been sitting in the Android market since yesterday. For those that don’t know what StumbleUpon is, it learns your browsing habits (by thumb-upping or thumb-downing a page you like or dislike) and will serve you up random web pages until your fingers [...]

You can’t deny that HTC and Motorola have been leading the way by a wide margin in terms of Android manufacturing. You also can’t deny that on the processor side, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors seem to get more love than any of their competitors in terms of Android. Well I suppose you could deny all of [...]

It’s finally official, folks: the HTC Desire for Vodafone will finally be getting Android 2.2 Monday, August 23rd according to Vodafone. This comes after the carrier was pressured by their users to release the upgrade amidst an arguably “pointless” non-Froyo OTA update that seemingly had no other purpose than to add bloatware beyond belief. The [...]

It looks like LG and Verizon have heeded my long-standing request to turn the enV series of phones into Android devices, saving a brand name and keyboard line that was/is highly successful and familiar. An inside source at Engadget says the LG enV Touch 2 will have dual touchscreens (outside/inside)  along with Android 2.1 in [...]

Engadget finally said “Enough of the blurrycam crap: get us a Dell Thunder prototype,” and thus came to light this extensive hands-on look at the prototype of the very same Dell Thunder they leaked to the world months ago. Taking a deeper look into the hardware (as the software is pretty much stock Android 1.6, [...]

Oh, AMOLED, how you are single-handedly able to kill a product off because you can’t be produced fast enough truly amazes me. This time, the AMOLED-equipped HTC Legend for Bell in Canada is getting the axe due to “supply constraints”. While they didn’t offer up any details on what components are causing the constraints, we’d [...]

TweetDeck for Android was released as a public beta last week and has already surpassed the amount of traffic than they’ve seen on the iPad since the three months it’s been out, according to them: that’s significant seeing as this app is not yet in the market. With that, TweetDeck isn’t just sleeping at the [...]

DISH Network – the popular satellite TV provider trying to give DirecTV a run for their money – surveyed their customers about their upcoming launch of Google TV services to get an idea of what customers would be willing to pay for the features that come along with Google TV (which you can find detailed [...]

I wasn’t personally familiar with online video site VEVO until they started demolishing the pageviews through some sort of partnership with YouTube. A partnership indeed, as VEVO is actually a joint effort put forth by Google/Youtube and Universal to create a portal dedicated to music. The site has quickly risen to attract much fanfare, surely [...]

If this still isn’t enough proof for you that the HTC Desire HD will be announced September 15th in London, then I don’t know what’ll convince you. Another British retailer – mobiles.co.uk – has listed the HTC Desire HD just after Amazon UK accidentally listed the device for an October 1st release at 415 British [...]

You’d have to be in complete denial to think that pop culture includes anything less than an obsession when it comes to celebrities. People want to know everything about them, from what time they brush their teeth in the morning to where they shop to whatever other trivial task you can conjure up. Android is [...]

When developer Koush released his faux kernel for the still-somewhat-unhackable Motorola Droid X yesterday, many were left wondering “what use will it be to flash a custom ROM without access to the device’s kernel?” Perhaps the guys from My Droid World will have something you’re looking for in just a few hours: a leaked update [...]
