We’re a bit late on reporting the release of this app, but here goes nothing: Bike Doctor – a popular app from iOS device that helps you fix your bike on the go – is now available for Android. You can find the app in the Android market for around $4.80. Bike Doctor’s claim to [...]

Yes, you’ve heard this one before, but bear with me: new evidence suggests T-Mobile will be pushing out the upgrade to Android 2.1 for Motorola CLIQ users soon. It’s been a long time coming, and – by now – everyone’s more concerned about Froyo than they are Eclair, but those faithful CLIQ owners with T-Mobile [...]

I’ve never really been known to make much noise over a feature like pinch-to-zoom – double tapping with my freakishly-long nails and fat fingers does the job just fine for me – but Opera’s about to change that with the release of Opera Mobile 10.1 (the public beta should be coming sometime this month.) Robin [...]

Just as we expected to wake up to, Rovio has released Angry Birds. Many of you woke up excited to find an email directing you to download it from GetJar and couldn’t wait to send us an email right after your morning of light reading. Trust us, we feel your excitement. And just as we [...]

Well there seems to be a very good reason why Samsung decided to pull the source code for the upgrade to Android 2.2 for the Galaxy S from their OpenSource site: it’s now being pushed out to GT-i9000 devices in several regions (if not over-the-air, then definitely through Samsung Kies. These regions include Denmark, Norway, [...]

Alternative app stores and markets for Android are nothing new. GetJar’s long been a provider of downloads, SlideMe is a classic offering that everyone from the original G1 days should remember, and countless more are out and about. No one’s really made noise about this sect of the ecosystem, however, until folks like Verizon, Amazon, [...]

Rogers in Canada has a great message for you Galaxy S fans to wake up to this morning: the Samsung Captivate will be launching next week. The news comes to us via the company’s blog where I’m sure they’re just as excited as you are to get this thing out here. The phone’s launch was [...]

Google held a financial earnings conference call earlier today and threw out some interesting mobile-related stats to prove that their desktop search strategy isn’t the only thing poised to earn them some big bucks. According to Google’s  Jonathan Rosenberg, if you take all of last quarter’s earnings and extrapolate the trends over the next year, [...]

Just as we suspected, the Droid 2 Global is still out there, and it’s just entered training for Verizon Wireless employees. We’ve been hearing that this and the recently announced Droid Pro were being aimed for launch by the time the holiday season rolls around, so this timing is as perfect as perfect can get. [...]

The Dell Streak recently made its North American debut on AT&T in the US, but this leaked slide from Rogers is indicating that it’s only a matter of time before the tablet/phone is  available for the Canadian carrier. It shouldn’t come as too big of a surprise, as the Streak’s 850MHz 3G radio bands have [...]

In an effort to alleviate the stress of needing to re-root the T-Mobile G2 after the phone is rebooted, developer community hotshot Paul O’Brien has created an application that will provide quick one-click rooting for users. VISIONary is a standard Android application that is installed to the G2 and provides root in no more nor [...]

It’s a bit hard to keep track of when and where the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be available with a new pricing or release date popping up in some country or another nearly every day. Germany seems to be one of the first places to begin seeing retail-ready Galaxy Tabs moving into the hands of [...]

The Huawei Ideos is getting out to all sorts of carriers around the world, but don’t expect to see that name when it lands at T-Mobile on November 3rd. Sticking with their penchant to ditch manufacturer names and rebrand devices, the carrier has dubbed the device the T-Mobile Comet. The “Comet” codename initially appeared on [...]

The long wait for Android 2.1 should soon be coming to an end for at least a small portion of Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 and X10 Mini Pro owners when T-Mobile UK pushes the update for owners of the handsets by the end of November. Through a posting to the T-Mobile UK support forums it [...]

Continuing the commitment to open source, the HTC Desire Z source has been tossed up to the Developer Center at HTC’s site for all to freely peruse and in some cases abuse. If you’re the type that likes to get knee deep in code this is a good chance to see behind the veil of [...]

Motorola’s not keeping quiet on the mound of issues that have piled up since they’ve released the upgrade to Android 2.2 for the Motorola Droid X on Verizon. They hear you, and they’re working to get this small-looking but pretty big list of issues fixed up in the near future. Let’s take a look at [...]

We’re getting close, guys. Rovio promised a release of Angry Birds would be up in the Android market by the end of this week. While we’re not sure about the status of that window, we do know that they are very close to a final release. They’ve given us the opportunity to take an early [...]

If you didn’t get your hands on the source code yesterday for the Samsung Galaxy S’s Android 2.2 upgrade, then you better hope someone’s uploaded a mirror: it’s no longer available on Samsung’s OpenSource website. It would appear that the publishing of the source was a bit premature, and I would assume that someone’s going [...]

Verizon Wireless just issued a press release announcing the launch of the Apple iPad on October 28th in over 2,000 Verizon Wireless stores. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the start of a new frontier in the Android vs. Apple war and the details make it even more interesting. The Verizon iPad will NOT be sold [...]
