We have been hearing about Motorola’s upcoming NVIDIA Tegra 2 smartphones for a while now. We have also been hearing the Motorola Olympus codename bandied about quite a bit.

Huawei stepped up in a big way with the release of the Ideos, an Android 2.2 handset that marked a turn to higher device quality while still maintaining the affordable pricing the manufacturer is known for. Now it appears Huawei is ready to complete the transition with two devices that aren’t aimed at being low-end [...]

Samsung wasn’t kidding when they said they wanted their Galaxy line of smartphones in as many places as possible, even if that meant they’d have to get inside the collapsed tunnel where the now-rescued Chilean miners were trapped to prove their point. The Samsung Galaxy Beam helped provide some light entertainment (get it? harharhar) with [...]

The lads over at XDA had a tipster send some information regarding a new Sprint phone. It seems it will have a sliding screen to reveal a keyboard and could very well be the successor or partner to the EVO 4G. XDA (or the tipster) managed to pull the following blurb from some mystery XML [...]

Looks like things are falling into place with T-Mobile’s launching of the Galaxy Tab.  T-Mo news seems to have gotten word that November 10th is the day of days.  This falls on a Wednesday which is T-Mobile’s day of choice to launch products, and it conveniently one-ups Verizon’s Veteran’s Day launch. If you’re one of [...]

It’s that time of the year, again. Google’s just gotten a nice, tasty delivery of an oversized Gingerbread man. (I was personally hoping for a house, but Gingerbread is Gingerbread.)

After just crossing the 500,000 users threshold, SCVNGR is striking while the iron is hot with the release of a revamped and renovated mobile app for Android and iPhone.
