“Damn that pesky root bug,” expressed Cyanogen, the popular developer on a (seemingly personal) mission to prove T-Mobile wrong regarding the G2′s supposed failsafe root mechanism. That little episode didn’t stop him from wanting to get his popular ROM up and running on the T-Mobile G2, though, and that he did. “Booted CM on my [...]

Another rumor to start the early week off. According to Android Police, a source of theirs has let loose that the SDK for the update to Android Gingerbread (2.5? 3.0?) will make its way to the internet next week. I question the validity of this claim considering Google has yet to say a word about [...]

Internet is finally good at one of these live events so here goes nothing… pictures to be added later so this is text only! Refresh for latest. LIVE BLOG OVER – READ BELOW FOR RECAP 6:00 – TVs are $599 to $1399 and right now we gotta leave you – time to go hands-on to [...]

Lookie lookie what’s on the badge at the Sony TV event: Me-thinks that’s a sneak peak at the Remote Control for Sony’s Google TV which should be announced any minute here. We’re at the live launch event in NYC and will be going hands on with everything announced so stay tuned for sweet deets!

Well if today isn’t “long-awaited OTA update” day. First, the Milestone in Europe is set to enter user testing next week. Now, we’ve learned that the MyTouch 3G – the original one – will finally be seeing its upgrade to Android 2.2. When can you expect it? Tomorrow, according to TmoNews. It’s more accurate to [...]

Looks like we’re moving closer and closer toward a release of Android 2.2 for those of you Milestone owners in Europe. It’s been a lengthy, drawn out process, but Motorola’s finally making progress and it seems you guys will be getting a nice gift heading into the holiday seasons. Hello. From next week we start [...]

We’re just hours away from Sony’s big Google TV unveiling where we expect they’ll announce four initial models with the platform embedded (ranging from 24 to 46-inch models.) Sony’s getting a little head start with developer sign-ups, however, as we’ve just learned that they’re accepting registrations for the developer portal now. There’s nothing to actually [...]

I’m sure our regulars have already heard by now: there was a porn button on the Galaxy Tab. The button’s label was actually a shortened version of the word “Pornire” which we understand is another way to say “Start” in Romanian, but the unfortunate truncation that led to our ridiculous report has been fixed up [...]

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the HTC Merge again. This time, Android Central grabbed another look at the device in full color and motion. Nothing out of the ordinary to see here, but it’s the first time we’ve been able to see this device moving about. We know it’ll come preinstalled with Android 2.2, [...]

More European launches to speak of today. This time, Motorola’s Defy – which we took a nice look at this past week at CTIA’s Fall 2010 show – will be headed for Germany. The device can be had as low as 1 euro on contract, but you can also grab it up outright for 350 [...]

You wouldn’t be alone in thinking that ZTE – of all manufacturers – would be the last to make their way to the market with an Android tablet, but that’s exactly what the ZTE V9 is. This 7-inch offering looks to sport Android 2.1 that is slightly customized for the big screen, a 3G radio, [...]

Vodafone Spain – in an unsurprising move – has committed to selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab. If you want to pick it up on their network, be prepared to shell out 199 euros for an 18-month contract. There really aren’t any new specs to talk about here unless you like us sounding like a broken [...]

So we still have no idea what the Motorola MB860 is (most are still referring to it as the Olympus – a supposed Tegra 2-enabled tablet – even though we are still expecting the Stingray MZ600 to be one of two), but it’s just gotten its certifications for WiFi (September 29th) and Bluetooth (September 28th) [...]

If you’re with T-Mobile UK and have been waiting for the HTC Desire HD, you should know that they’ve opened the floodgates for you to order the device. Tariffs include free on  a two-year, 40 pounds per month contract, free on an 18-month, 45 pounds per month contract, and 320 pounds for 10 pounds month-to-month. [...]

Did your T-Mobile G2 download an update over-the-air this morning? If so, you may have just gotten the oft-requested features of WiFi calling and internet tethering. You can also update Google Goggles, apparently, which should be considered a fix more than a feature. Reports of this upgrade going out haven’t been widespread so it may [...]

Virgin Mobile in Canada’s just let a huge one leak out. Most of the phones in this particular leak aren’t Android based – and the one that we can see isn’t one of Samsung’s prettier offerings – but it looks like Virgin will be getting the Samsung Galaxy 5. It was originally said that the [...]

If the recent controversy surrounding the T-Mobile G2′s hackability (mainly due to T-Mobile’s questionable handling of the root-related situation) hasn’t already turned you away, then jump on this deal being offered by Amazon. If you’re a new customer with T-Mobile signing a two-year contract, you can grab the G2 for $99 including two-day shipping. We [...]

Even though Cellular South officially announced this device as the Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung’s website says something completely different up against the other five carriers offering the phone: it’ll be called the Samsung Showcase. We still haven’t been able to uncover more details than that, but we’re one step closer to one of the most [...]

Sony’s TV line-up with Google TV is being unveiled tomorrow, but a lot of us can’t wait that long. We want details NOW! We may have gotten one big update on their line-up, though, as we’ve learned from SonyInsider that the original MSRP of $1,899 for the 46-inch SKU was a mistake: it’s actually going [...]

The folks from BuzzVoice have just announced that their application is now free to download in the Android market, and with that update comes a new feature: the ability to add your own feed instead of being limited to what’s sitting in the repositories. For those who don’t know what BuzzVoice is, it’s effortless to [...]
