Alright, it really isn’t that surprising considering that the rest of the Galaxy S gang has already been rooted, but the Samsung Mesmerize has been cracked open just a day after its release on US Cellular. The guys over at AndroidCentral did the dirty work using the rageagainstthecage exploit, which happens to be part of [...]

Samsung has no shortage of announcements leading into the launch of the Galaxy Tab. Today, we’ve learned that they’re teaming up with industry news outlet Financial Times to bring their first Android and HTML5-based app to the tablet.

We’ve heard a lot abut this clamshell Android-based MID, but it’s only ever been available in Japan as its internal radios are compatible with Japan’s popular cellular networks. Still, retailer Conics has seemingly brought the Sharp IS01 over to the states in a WiFi-only state and will sell it for $246. The device has a [...]

Napster just inched a step closer toward its roots as they’ve announced that the latest update will allow you to play your playlists when you’re away from an internet connection. The app also queues the next few songs in the playlist ahead of time to avoid stuttering while buffering, a problem others suffer with in [...]

Well if this rumor doesn’t get more legs as each day passes us by. It wasn’t but a couple of days ago that the supposed PSP Phone’s prototype was leaked for all to see, and now Peter Dille – speaking with at a fireside chat – believes that iPhone gamers aren’t satisfied. With that belief, [...]

It’s been announced that the HTC Wildfire would be headed for the United States this quarter. There was no word on which carriers would get it, but “regional” carriers were specifically mentioned so that rules out Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T. The Wildfire is a smallish device that packs enough of a punch to get [...]

Tablets are released left and right these days. Most of them you don’t hear about as they trickle out from mainland China and other parts of the technologically obscure world. Others are released in nationally and globally known stores. Such is the case with Maylong’s 7-inch M-150 tablet being sold at Walgreens for $99. For [...]

Sprint held a pretty quiet developer’s conference last night, and they didn’t announce much that we at Phandroid would report on. They did, however, announce that the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Samsung EPIC 4G would both be receiving Sprint ID capabilities. This is notable because we were met with uncertainty when we asked them [...]

US Cellular’s not going to be left behind as they’ve just announced that they will be scooping up the Samsung Galaxy Tab along with the rest of the big boys. No pricing or availability information was to be had, but we’re sure we’ll see it before the end of the year. US Cellular’s working very [...]

Still have doubts that Motorola’s ship hasn’t turned around yet? They’ve released their third quarter results, today, and it was noted that Motorola has enjoyed its first growth quarter since Q4 of 2006. Double digit growth in revenue – 13% – saw them raking in $4.9 billion and profiting $109 million. This is compared to [...]

It isn’t really the newest of rumors – we’ve all been speculating on what Samsung has to announce since invites to the New York City event were sent out – but it sounds like one of our buddies are pretty sure that it’s going to be a “Google experience” phone that’ll hit multiple carriers. According [...]

PC World’s just published their list of the top 100 technology products that have been released in 2010, and something amazing has occurred: the iPad wasn’t at the top of the list. Sitting just above it in the number 1 spot was the Android operating system (2.2, specifically.) And in 5th place was the Samsung [...]

[Update]: We’ve just received official word from Verizon that they are pushing the update out today. Everyone should have it before too long, but they didn’t say whether or not the process would be staggered. In any case, good things come to those who wait so just sit tight. Hey, Droid 2 owners, Motorola and [...]

It isn’t often that mention of a new phone comes straight from the horse’s mouth, but it’s been discovered that the HTC Mecha has shown up on HTCSense.com as one of the available phones with the newest version of HTC Sense. If you think back to August, the Mecha was one of four codenames in [...]

Moments ago CM6.1-RC1 was unleashed on the world. Cyanogen is, without argument, the most well known Android ROM developer. With his team of developers, porters and support staff they bring Cyanogen to countless devices breathe new life into old handsets and have an overall positive aura about them that handset makers and retailers can only [...]

They’d hinted toward the move earlier in the year by showing related market apps in search results, but now Google’s added an “Android Apps” tab to their mobile search site. You’ll initially find it under the “more” tab at the upper right of your screen. From there, just search for an app as you normally [...]

It’s been said time and time again, but we were just waiting on the word to come straight from Magenta. T-Mobile’s MyTouch 4G (yes, the mystery is now officially over.) will be launching November 3rd for $199.99 after a two-year agreement and a $50 mail-in rebate. (And you can bet there will be some deals [...]

T-Mobile and NBA go together like a burger and fries, and that tasty combination continues today as T-Mobile’s announced that they are now the official wireless telecommunications provider of the Miami Heat and the American Airlines arena. To kick off (tip off?) this occasion, they’re hosting the T-Mobile Tip-Off at Miami’s October 29th home opener, [...]

Those developers are ridiculously good! While we’ve been skeptical of overclocks thanks to recent hoaxes by Team DeFuse, we believe this new breakthrough in development for the Samsung Galaxy S line of phones is the real deal. Team Whiskey have apparently achieved a stable overclock of 1.6 GHz. If that wasn’t enough, they’ve also been [...]

Many of us are holding out on upgrading to new Android handsets to wait for NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 to eventually hit some of these beasts, and the wait looks to be justified as each and every day roars on. Although the Samsung Galaxy S series of phones have provided the best mobile gaming hardware for [...]
