Are you the type of person who likes to IM? I mean really IM. As in accounts on all the major services and a need to consolidate them down to one shared buddy list on your Android phone to be able to chat with whoever, where ever and whenever.  If that is you than thank [...]

If you have no idea who or what Ajax is, don’t worry. If you do know of them chances are no explanation is necessary. Turns out they are a pro football (read: soccer) team from the Netherlands, and they apparently also offer mobile plans through their website. And now available on those mobile plans are [...]

In a month where you could easily go either way, Best Buy Mobile has opted to provide customers with a treat rather than a trick with a new promotion that will run throughout October. Each Friday for the length of the month will see four phones (one from each major carrier) offered for free along [...]

HTC’s combined shipments for the remainder of the year are expected to reach upwards of 16 million handsets from the Taiwanese mobile device manufacturer. The numbers break down to 7-8 million units for Q3 and 9-10 million over Q4. These numbers take into account all of HTC’s offerings, including phones using Android as well as [...]

Who would have thought. Sony’s Google TV offering looks a lot like, well, every other TV Sony has made as of recently. The Sony NSX-46GT1 is an HDTV with Google TV on-board. It was spied at Best Buy’s holiday preview in New York City today running alongside a Dish Network Google TV box. Taking a [...]

New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco. What do these three cities have in common? We could probably list quite a few things, but we’re talking about the fact that none of those cities have been activated on Sprint’s 4G coverage map despite being three of the most populated and tech-savvy cities in the country. Turns [...]

When asked how he would describe Google’s policy on being “open” Eric Schmidt’s response turned instead to describing arch-nemesis Apple’s policies on handling iOS. “It’s easier to understand by opposition,” Schmidt explained as he contrasted the closed nature of Apple’s products. Apps must be developed using Apple’s tools. They must use Apple’s hardware. They in [...]

The T-Mobile G2 won’t be getting into the hands of any would-be owners for at least eight more days when the October 6th release date rolls around, but the handsets are already streaming into at least one TMo store in preparation for one of their most anticipated new smartphones. Do I smell one or two [...]

It’s only been a couple of weeks since we learned Telus would be getting the Samsung Galaxy Apollo and sure enough, it’s here. The device is quite cheap dialing in at $249.99 without a contract, and down to $50 if you want to commit to three years (one and two year contract plans are available). [...]

I must admit: I didn’t fully understand the concept of WolframAlpha when the “computational knowledge engine” was first announced. After using it a few times, I still don’t. That’s not the matter here, though. They’ve announced that they’ll be heading to the Android market with their very own app that should put all of that [...]

The HTC Aria isn’t one of HTC’s most popular devices, but it’s still moving right along and will be available this October for Optus. You can grab the device up for free if you opt-in to one of their two-year $49 plans (businesses or consumers). They were even nice enough to note in the press [...]

The biggest factor in driving many users’ purchase decisions on today’s Android tablets comes down to ultimately one thing: price. Even with the best specs you could ask for in an Android tablet, the price will make or break that deal for many people. We’ve heard the ridiculously high off-contract prices for the Samsung Galaxy [...]

Accessories for devices these days are usually run-of-the-mill. Aside from a few cool ones from Samsung – such as the keyboard dock for the Galaxy Tab and the USB-HDMI out for their Galaxy S devices – they are always pretty much the same. Sony Ericsson’s come up with a cool one for their Xperia phones, [...]

A pair of rumors eeked out of the mill yesterday regarding Amazon – one of the biggest online retailers in the world. According to a string of meaty tips received by TechCrunch (which they confirmed were accurate), Amazon will be joining Verizon and others in a growing list of vendors looking to provide their own [...]

A while back, one of our tipsters informed us of an unused model number for an HTC Android-based handset for Verizon Wireless. The model number was spotted on the Droid Incredible’s USB cable that listed other compatible devices. At that time, the only other HTC phone on Verizon was the HTC Droid Eris so we [...]

Ever since HTC showed off their new fast boot algorithm on the latest version of HTC Sense (which can more accurately be described as a form of hibernation like you’d see on a PC), everyone’s been craving for it. For those of you who fancy CyanogenMod, developer Steve Kondik’s a fan of the feature, as [...]

Members of the press have been invited to see Sony unveil the world’s first internet TV October 12th at 5:30pm. While they don’t mention Google TV specifically, it’s no secret that they’ve been working with Google and Intel to produce a TV with the technology embedded. We haven’t seen or heard much out of Sony [...]

We didn’t expect Amazon to leave out the fourth and final Galaxy S phone when it comes to this deal, but just as they did with the Vibrant and Captivate before it, they’re now offering the Samsung Fascinate for a penny. You can only get the phone at this price if you’re a new Verizon [...]

It’s been announced that Samsung’s chosen Atmel’s maxTouch display technology for use in their Samsung Galaxy Tab – something they also did with their Samsung Galaxy S phones. HTC also decided to go with maxTouch for some of their more recent, beefier Android handsets (with the HTC EVO 4G and HTC Droid Incredible being confirmed [...]

Didn’t know the Motorola Droid 2 had an FM Radio? Neither did I, but that trusty old group over at XDA sure did find out and they’ve found a way to port the files needed over to the phone courtesy of the Motorola Droid X. You’ll need to be rooted to unlock the functionality, but [...]
