iFixIt is back with a teardown of one of the newest devices out there, the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Being released on American carriers starting this week, it’s the perfect time to grab one up and take a look-see at what lies beneath its outer-shell. Fortunately, these guys have the gonads to do what we wouldn’t [...]

For all of you Virgin Media customers with HTC Desires, your Android 2.2 update has finally made its way to your phones. You won’t have to mess around with applying it manually as it’ll be delivered to your devices over the air, and probably in a staggered process. More details on the update can be [...]

Cyanogen is known to be a fast worker, and just days after the T-Mobile G2 received its permanent root, he’s updated everyone on the status of a stable implementation of Cyanogen Mod 6.1 for the device. His words? CM6.1 on G2 Status: DONE. There are still some final touches Cyanogen has to apply before unleashing [...]

If you’re a Sprint Premier Customer (ie, anyone who owns a smartphone with them, which most of you on Sprint reading this blog probably do), you may have seen an invite in your inbox sometime yesterday to pre-order their version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. We don’t have a date yet, but you can pre-order [...]

Something tells me this one won’t be popular with the masses, but we’ll report it anyway. Tether for Android – the latest tethering option that doesn’t come from Google or your carrier of choice – has been in beta for quite some time but the folks who created it are sure it’s ready for a [...]

The Nexus S train got off to a quick and ruthless start yesterday, but let’s not start thinking that this will be Samsung’s cream of the crop heading into 2011: Engadget’s already procured evidence of the next flagship device out of the Korean carrier. According to some slides from a powerpoint – which Engadget says [...]

XDA’s done it again, folks. Developer RyanZA has introduced his latest application – named Z4Root – which should make the rooting process brain-dead simple for anyone with an Android phone regardless of what phone they’re on. I’m not sure which devices he “officially” supports, but he doesn’t specifically mention a list of devices so I’ll [...]

It’s been reported that owners of the new batch of HTC EVO 4Gs – the ones with the different software version number and difference in parts – are being notified to download an over the air update to fix the front-facing camera issue many have reported. Those of you on the newer EVOs should have [...]

We know a few of you have gotten your hands on the Droid 2 Global already, and one of you have adapted current root and bootstrap methods to the device to make it as open as Motorola will allow you. It’s not surprising that methods for the original Droid 2 work for the Global edition [...]

[Update]: It appears this is only available in the United States, as of the time of this writing. If you’re not in the United States, then it’s likely you won’t find this app unless there’s been a mistake. Not on Verizon but craving a nice helping of Bing? You’re in luck because it seems the [...]

Let’s take a quick break from all of the Nexus S news for a second: the HTC Merge has been spotted in Best Buy’s inventory systems alongside  other Verizon-bound HTC phones such as the Incredible, the Imagio, and the Touch Pro. There’s no reason to expect that this won’t be out before the holiday season, [...]

Who has time to think about things like the Droid 2 Global and Droid Pro when this monster looms in the near future. A new shot of the so-called Incredible HD, the EVO-like device headed to Verizon, confirms what everyone suspected: this thing carries LTE. It also features Android 2.2 and the new HTC Sense. [...]

A Nexus S day wouldn’t be complete without a leak detailing a few specs that we can expect when the next Google-branded handset launches in the coming the weeks. While this particular shot remains mum on goodies such as processor speed and internal storage size, we get a detailed look at the handsets radio bands, [...]

Registered as part of the ongoing Swype beta? An update is now available for you, so jump on it. The new version brings many improvements, including Speech to Text support, double tap to edit, and continued fixes to accuracy and test input. You will have to download the update manually to your handset by visiting [...]

A few weeks back we learned that the LG enV Pro was taken as a bust and cancelled by Verizon, but the latest whispers tell a slightly different story. Instead of launching the phone into a packed house of holiday releases, word is that Verizon and LG merely delayed its launch giving the manufacturer some [...]

When it rains it pours, and Nexus S information is storming in harder than Katrina hit New Orleans. Too soon? The latest leak comes from Best Buy internal and concerns upcoming holiday floorplans and showcases, and wouldn’t you know it looks like the Nexus S is getting a nice table endcap display slated for November [...]

The flood gates have opened. After a little nudge from the emergence of a couple of Best Buy leaks, some brave soul has taken it upon themselves to forward some hands-on shots of the handset to Engadget. The photos are apparently about a month old and don’t do much to show off arguably the biggest [...]

Here are a few quick tablet tid-bits for you this Thursday, starting with the HaiPad, a device that does little more than put a nice ‘H’ sound in front of iPad and shrink the screen down to 7-inches. The tablet carries specs that are quickly becoming too standard to even save a crappy Android 2.1 [...]

Microsoft has sued Motorola twice in as many months, and the phone manufacturer has had enough. Today they are firing back with their own lawsuit against the technology giant accusing the Windows Mobile maker of infringing on patents in several of their key products. Motorola Mobility cites 16 patents being infringed upon across Microsoft’s PC [...]

Oh look, an unfamiliar Galaxy S phone? With a front-facing camera? And a stock Android interface with a black notification bar and green icons exactly as we described to you in our first look at Gingerbread? Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here could only be the Samsung Nexus S. After Best Buy flubbed up [...]
