A Verizon leak wouldn’t be a Verizon leak without some cool live wallpapers and boot animations. That boot animation part was already taken care of earlier this morning, but if you want something that’ll last a bit longer (and will do just as well to feed your addiction to R2D2), then you’ll want to check [...]

Looks like Vodafone’s going to get one of Samsung’s lesser-desired, yet still decent-looking handsets in the Samsung i5510. The phone will run Android 2.2 and – while Samsung Hub reports this will be running stock Android – the shot of the phone below points to TouchWiz (but not 3.0, from what I can tell). The [...]

Nope, it’s not Froyo. If that’s all you were looking for, you can stop reading here. For those that are just happy with continued improvements to their HTC Wildfire regardless of what version of Android you’re running, HTC’s got an over-the-air upgrade ready for  you to download. The upgrade consists of the following main changes: [...]

Just a day shy of Google saying the next step in search is automatic, Google’s gone ahead and announced Instant search. The idea here is that – as you type – results will come up before you even have to press enter. I didn’t quite get what Eric Schmidt meant the other day when he [...]

For those of you waiting until early 2011 – when we expected first devices with Qualcomm’s 1.5GHz dual-core QSD8672 to be out – you can stop waiting, for now: we won’t be seeing those processors until the end of 2011. The chip is still on schedule to ship in Q4, however it’ll be slow making [...]

When the Google Developer Store sold out of Nexus One handsets back in August, many feared that their chance to get Google’s flagship phone was running out. Not so fast, as it looks like there is a limited supply back in stock for registered developers to purchase and test their wares on. Or to just [...]

So far the only region with some idea of when they will se the Samsung Galaxy Tab is Europe, where it should be reaching shelves later this month. While we still have no idea what the American release strategy looks like, the Tab will be heading to India where it may be available in October [...]

With every cool little bit of news about the Motorola Droid R2-D2 the dormant geek inside me stirs a little. If you loved Star Wars as much as I did growing up you probably understand, but to be blunt carrying a Star Wars themed Android smartphone isn’t exactly shouting from the mountain tops “I am [...]

There is no denying the people what they want, and when they get vocal about it chances are they will get their way. At least that is the case with Rogers and Android 2.1 for the HTC Magic. A small but vocal community cropped up to fight for their right for updates on the handset [...]

In the wake of talk of trojan Android applications and apps with permissions that could only mean malicious intent, a rather precarious situation has arisen. In what developer Brenton Klik is calling a permissions bug, apps that are designed to install on both the phone’s internal storage and onto the SD card may be authorizing [...]

Not to be outdone by the release of Verizon’s Fascinate on a buy-one-get-one-free deal, T-Mobile has announced that their Galaxy S phone, the Samsung Vibrant, will also be available at the price of two for one (just as expected). After shelling out for two new two-year contracts, the second Vibrant is free after a $50 [...]

If you for whatever reason are still having a bit of trouble getting your hands on the HTC EVO 4G, Wirefly is giving its loyal customers a chance to snatch up the handset exclusively through Facebook. For a short period of time, those who “like” Wirefly on Facebook will be provided with a link to [...]

Ex-Google China president Kai-Fu Lee announced today via the Wall Street Journal his intention to launch a brand new mobile operating system based around Android. The OS variant doesn’t stray far from its Android origins in naming, either, sticking with the food theme but going for something a bit heartier than dessert. The OS to [...]

In an effort to keep Galaxy S units flying off the shelf in South Korea, Samsung is releasing a version of the device targeted towards women. Just as Korea got the exclusive Snow White Galaxy S, a pink version will launch in the country. We can’t judge by the picture if this is a similar [...]

Given that the internals of the upcoming T-Mobile G2 don’t place the HSPA+ handset well ahead of the competition, the phone has three main selling points. One is, well, the HSPA+ support, while the other two would be the stock version of Android 2.2 it runs and a pretty nice hardware keyboard. And that hardware [...]

The Samsung Galaxy S has seen release in countries far and wide around the globe, but one very large market has remained untapped — China. But Samsung doesn’t want the country neighboring their native Korea to feel left out, so they have announced that they will be launching the S on all three major Chinese [...]

Well here it is, the final piece to the Samsung Galaxy S puzzle. The Samsung Fascinate completes the roll out of Galaxy S devices launching on major US carriers today, and Verizon is celebrating the fact with a peculiar deal for a phone of such a high caliber on its first day of sales. If [...]

Last week we got word that HuddleHub was bringing their multiple league managing fantasy football app to Android, and just in time for Thursday’s kickoff of the 2010 season they have pulled through. The app supports both ESPN and Yahoo leagues simultaneously, so if you are the type to dip your finger into multiple pots [...]

We don’t hear too much about the Acer Liquid these days, but that doesn’t mean the phone is forgotten. Far from it, in fact. Acer is currently in the testing phases for the release of Android 2.2 (Froyo) for the Liquid, and Android @ MoDaCo forum member LIQUID_USER has gotten their hands on an early [...]

Word of Wind Mobile picking up the Motorola Milestone XT720 has been blowing in the, er, wind for some time now, but a recent shot of an internal training screen reveals that the handset launch should be right around the corner. This will mark a significant upgrade from the carrier’s first Android handset the low-end [...]
