One of our trusted moderators over at AndroidForums.com seems to have come across some information regarding a maintenance upgrade for Verizon’s Galaxy S – the Samsung Fascinate. According to him, this won’t be the upgrade to Android 2.2, but it’s possible that this could be a precursor leading into the fabled upgrade. Another possibility is [...]

Rhapsody’s just announced that their application for Android has been updated to allow subscribers to download and listen to their playlists offline.

Android’s getting just a tad bit kinkier as Playboy and Xtify have announced the launch of Playboy Scout, an app that will help you find the best spots for your nightlife needs and will deliver deals to your phone from places close to you using Xtify’s geolocation platform.

The Maylong M-150 Universe is a 7-inch Android Tablet that I purchased from Walgreens.com. Yup… that’s right: a 7-inch Android Tablet that I purchased from Walgreen’s and only for $100. Obviously for $100 and without any type of contract, you would assume you’re getting a total hunk of steaming bot grease- but after an initial toying [...]

We learned Dell would most likely be bringing out the upgrade to Android 2.2 for their five inch tablet sometime this month, but the only word we’d gotten was via a leak that offered nothing more for details.

Throughout all of the American launches and announcements of their Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung’s gone ahead and published the source code for the device, as required.

It’s been confirmed that Samsung’s pushing out the upgrade to Android 2.2 to their Galaxy S and Galaxy A in their home turf of South Korea right now. (It wasn’t said if this included the carrier-specific offerings, so we’ll assume that those are excluded, for now.) Those on Vodafone may also be seeing the upgrade [...]

We know: it’s hard to believe that ANYONE bought this phone. (And if they did, we’d find it hard to believe that they kept it for more than a day or two.) But if any of you out there are still rocking the Garminfone (made by the Garmin-ASUS duo that no longer exists) and you’ve [...]

All you loyal Comcasters or Xfinityers out there have something to look forward to before that second “0″ in 2010 turns into a “1″ as Comcast – alongside the launch of their apps for iOS devices – has announced plans to bring the app to Android by the end of this year. (A month and [...]

Who said the G2 was slow? How about we take that paltry 800MHz and kick it up a notch? Now that the thing can be rooted permanently, might as well overclock it until it melts. Well, no reports of any melting just yet, but the G2 has seen an increase in speed twice over and [...]

A tweet by Mobile-Review’s Eldar Murtazin has been floating around this morning in regards to the upcoming Motorola tablet. The statement in questions is that the tablet — which here is referred to as the MOTOPAD — will be the first Android 3.0 tablet. We will assume by 3.0 he means Honeycomb, as we learned [...]

In a move that will probably amount to mere trademark hoarding, HTC has filed for the name “ HTC EVO Shift 4G. ” The filing dates back to October 11th, and that’s about all we know. Whether it eventually goes along with a new phone, a new accessory or software feature, or nothing at all [...]
