Have you heard about Phandroid LIVE in Baltimore? If not you should check out the details cause it’s going to be awesome. We’re going to be giving away a bunch of Phandroid gear amongst other things, but we realized- “hey, what the heck, why don’t we have Phandroid T-SHIRTS?” Now we’re giving YOU the chance [...]

Our tipster has been hard at work scouring the annals of Verizon Wireless inventory. First we saw the Motorola MZ600 tablet pop up with dummy and demo units in two, then we got a look at listings for the Motorola CITRUS and Motorola XT610, and now we have the Samsung Continuum making an appearance. The [...]

Recently the Indian government announced that through a collaboration with the country’s top engineering colleges a $35 Android tablet had been developed to bring slate-style computing to the masses. That’s all well and good, except now Indian Android blog AndroidOS is making the claim that the tablet said to be developed and subsidized by the [...]

The Samsung Fascinate hasn’t been in the hands of the general public for more than a day, but Verizon is already hard at work compiling a ‘known issues’ list reporting various bugs and glitches that will need to be sorted out with future OTA updates. And the list is already quite long. Some of the [...]

Those folks over at TweetDeck sure move fast. It’s only been nearly a month since the beta was announced and already it’s looking to be one of the most fleshed out Twitter clients available after more than just a few big updates. Today’s update brings widgets – three in total –  though I’m not sure [...]

The beta is out and your productivity level and social life has gone down just about 95%, but many people have exhausted the generous 15-level version of Angry Birds released into the Android market last week. We want more! Rovio hears you, of course, and they’ve given us a time frame to look forward to. [...]

Yay, research and analytics! Today’s pro-Android projections come from Gartner who just last year predicted Android would be the second-most adopted mobile operating system by 2012. I guess Android did a lot better than they originally expected because they’re now pushing that window up to “by year-end 2010″. According to them, they’ll be beaten only [...]

Since 2010 took off, many a hardware manufacturer (mostly the smaller guys) have looked to Android for their tablet offerings. We’ve seen many highly-customized experiences (such as Archos’ offerings, the Dell Streak, and the newly-announced Samsung Galaxy Tab), but other manufacturers are perfectly fine with just slapping Android onto a piece of hardware and selling [...]

The name alone is enough for it to catch my attention. Japanese manufacturer Mouse Computer today brings us a 10-inch WSVGA tablet running Android 2.2. Specs? An NVIDIA Tegra 250 processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal flash memory, microSD support, WiFi up to G, and it comes in WiFi and WiFi+3G configurations. Those aren’t [...]

I know Android 2.2 is out, and I know you’d rather have that over Android 2.1 (bigger numbers means better, duh), but those who hang on for dear life to their Sony Ericsson Xperia X10s can at least be happy knowing that SE’s moving closer and closer to getting you guys off of Android 1.6. [...]

A launch wouldn’t be a launch without Best Buy getting in on the early pre-order fun. Just a day after T-Mobile officially announced the device would be offered through their own channels for pre-order soon, Best Buy’s stepped in to 1-up them (as they often do any carrier): starting from today, you can pre-order the [...]

We aren’t surprised that this thing has been rooted so quickly – all of the other Galaxy S phones received day 1 (or day 2) roots as well – but the brief leg work has been done and a root method for the Samsung Fascinate is ready to go. This root method is actually the [...]

The previous update to LauncherPro (the Plus version, specifically) brought a nice, scrollable Twitter widget to the table, but it wasn’t without its problems. Many of you took a nasty hit on battery life as the widget’s service would remain active and looking for data even when there were no tweets to pull down. Being [...]

We don’t expect the T-Mobile G2 to launch until later this month, but it’s already gotten benchmarked and compared to other recently released Android handsets. According to the results, this should outperform (or – at the least – match up to) the Samsung Galaxy S (with the PowerVR SGX540 GPU) and every HTC Android with [...]

September 14th just got circled on my calendar: LG’s holding a digital press conference for their latest smartphones – namely ones donning the Optimus name – and will be on hand to take questions afterward. We can at least confirm one device will be getting some shine throughout the half-hour event: what looks to be [...]

We’ve heard the stories about Google TV coming in the fall (hell, Google themselves gave us a window when they announced it back at Google I/O), but Intel’s ready to drill that Fall window down into a month: September. According to their Paul Otellini, the launch of Google TV (devices) is sleeping right under our [...]

There’s hope yet! Verizon’s caught wind of all of the commentary going around the blogosphere (from writers and readers alike) regarding Bing on their Android devices. Namely, the Samsung Fascinate was launched with Bing preloaded as the default search engine with no apparent way to change it. I can vouch for others’ professed difficulty in [...]

NOOK is getting another update for Android, this time to version 2.2 of the software that has already seen several new APKs dished out over the past couple of months. The latest version of the app for accessing the Barnes & Noble eBookstore and its over one million titles adds in QuickActions to provide pop-up [...]

Cablevision subscribers, your days of cursing your inability to DVR from afar and plan what you want to watch after work from your Android handset are over. Maybe it was less cursing and more feeling a little pang of jealousy knowing other cable and satellite providers already had those features, but envy no more you [...]

A recent roadmap leak made mention of several new Android phones headed to Verizon in the coming months, and now two have made an appearance in the inventory system of Big Red. The Motorola XT610 and Motorola CITRUS (WX455) will fall on the middle to low end of the spec scale but providing two different [...]
