We don’t know what this phone is, but we do know what we want it to end up being: a Google Nexus S, anyone? Getting way ahead of myself here, but there’s nothing else to go by (this is the first time we’ve heard of a Samsung GT-i9010.) The original Samsung Galaxy S was modeled [...]

It’s the last Friday of October, and that means Best Buy is just about ready to wrap up all of the treats they’ve been giving out.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Logitech “gets” customer service and satisfaction. Having bought several products over the years from them – some of which eventually end up going screwy – I can vouch for their dedication to customer satisfaction. (I had a gaming mouse from them that broke, and despite being [...]

It’s been rumored Verizon was going to be shaking things up toward the end of this month, and as much as they denied it leading up to the changes, we know leaks that come out of Verizon usually tend to have a lot of legs. Today, they’ve finally debuted their new tiered data plan. You [...]

I know you took one look at the above pictures and headed out to your local grocer to pick up a dozen or so pumpkins. If you manage to come up with something worthy of Android and Halloween, send it in! Some submissions! From Oscar: From Nethyr: From Kevin: From Alex: William and his radioactive [...]

The next Google-branded phone isn’t about to wow you in quite the way the Nexus One did. Yes, it’s a Google Experience phone running a very buggy build of what should be Gingerbread at this time, but if you were expecting something earth shattering turn away now. Gizmodo has a third-party hands-on with the device, [...]

[UPDATE]: The Market is back up! When I heard there was a new Google Maps update, I, like many of you, rushed into the Android Market to see what new and exciting features Google has for us. No dice. It looks like the Android Market is suffering from a case of the downtime. No downloads [...]

The Motorola DROID PRO wants to make a statement that both its manufacturer and its Android OS have a perfect place in the realm of enterprise, and to that end the latest information leakage suggests the handset will be available in two flavors: one with camera, and one without for those working in areas that [...]

Here we go again. Just a couple months back Adobe came clean to reveal a security exploit within their Flash 10.1 for Android, but quickly followed up with an update to patch the issue. Guess in the rush to get that update out they didn’t bother to double check for any other such security flaws, [...]

Google doesn’t seem to rest when it comes to continually updating their mobile version of Maps for Android. Another new update is out bringing Maps to version 4.6 and refining the way you find nearby places and friends.

While word came out earlier in the week that the Dell Venue Pro could be getting an Android version, an FCC filing is pegging a non-Pro version in the form of a rebranded Dell Thunder. As you may recall, the Dell Thunder is an Android phone carrying the same design and spec features of the [...]

After what may have seemed like an eternity for users sold on Dolphin Browser enough to stick with the browser through a buggy version 3.0, Dolphin Browser HD 4.0 has just reached the Android Market bringing fixes and enhancements out the wazoo. OK, maybe they aren’t literally dripping out of the wazoo, but some pretty [...]

The new NOOKcolor promises to be a little more than just your standard e-reader, and we aren’t talking simply about the full-color LCD display. It turns out the new Nook has a bit more in common with high-end cellphones and tablets than you might expect, as a TI OMAP3621 processor will give this thing the [...]

For this week’s developer spotlight, I was able to catch up with a friend of mine – Mariano Kamp – who has been developing what many would call the best Google Reader application in the Android market. The application I’m referring to is NewsRob. (No correlation with the Rob Jackson that runs the very site [...]
