Get your Motorola Droid 2 Global pre-order in earlier this week? It looks like a few people that threw down for the handset on Monday and Tuesday are already seeing the fruits of the effort realized. Delivered like an unwanted child, the Droid 2 Global has arrived on doorsteps swaddled in world-ready radios and pre-installed [...]

For today’s developer spotlight, we were able to catch up with Matt Hall who is a partner over at Larva Labs, the studio who brought great games over to Android such as Retro Defense and Battle for Mars earlier on in its life cycle, and innovative applications like Slide Screen that helped people consume the [...]

Next Issue Media, the company who provides digital distribution of popular consumer magazines, has announced plans to bring their service to Android in early 2011. It’s been described as the “Hulu for magazines,” except they won’t be blocking any and everything Google and Android as Hulu does. (Sorry, I had to throw that pot shot [...]

While Android 2.2.1 isn’t the most exciting update to Android, it’s an update and every phone could do with a little tender love and care. With that said, the original Motorola Droid looks to be getting the upgrade to 2.2.1 – as anyone would assume – but the folks at My Droid World have gotten [...]

LG’s finally gone ahead and released the upgrade to Android 2.1 for owners of the LG Optimus GT540. We aren’t too confident that many people (at least you Phandroid dwellers) have this phone, but if you’re one of the few who’ve picked this up and have been waiting to be stepped up to 2.1, you [...]

It’s been reported by FierceWireless that Sprint and Clearwire have entered arbitration regarding the amount of money Sprint has to pay Clearwire per month for each 4G user. Their concern is that they have 810,000 customers with 4G handsets in areas that have not yet been lit up with WiMAX 4G, yet Sprint still has [...]

We know T-Mobile and Verizon both have their Galaxy Tabs up for sale, but we’re still waiting on Sprint and AT&T to announce their launch plans. At least for AT&T, a leaked training document suggests it’ll be out November 21st – that’s 10 days from today – and for $649.99 with no contract. That’s $50 [...]

Say what you want about the swing and miss regarding recent rumors of Samsung and Google bringing out a “Nexus S” to trump the current Nexus, but we’ve heard a lot of stories from a lot of sources suggesting it’s real. We believe it is, but there was nothing concrete to go on… until today. [...]

ARM’s just announced the availability of their next generation Mali-T604 GPU that promises to deliver “visually rich user experiences not previously seen i consumer electronics devices.” Sounds great! So who’s getting it? ARM specifically points out that Samsung was the first eager beaver to step up as the first licensee of the chipset. Samsung’s Hummingbird [...]

If you’re a FiOS TV customer and you’ve been wanting a better mobile experience out of Verizon, then you’re in luck. They’ve recently announced FlexView Video On Demand for FiOS subscribers and is offering the free application to owners of select smartphone owners. (Droid 2 and  X currently, but the Galaxy Tab and Droid Incredible [...]

You Tango fans who aren’t satisfied with Qik, Fring, or any other video chat options, but have left Tango due to recent issues with stability on the HTC EVO 4G and non-support for Samsung’s Galaxy devices can come out from hiding now: a new update has been released that should fix most of the problems [...]

AT&T’s launched two of their latest MOTOBLUR phones, the Motorola Flipside and the Motorola Bravo, for $99.99 and $129.99 respectively. The Flipside, if you’ve forgotten, has a full slideout 4-row QWERTY keyboard, a touchpad for navigation, Android 2.1, and a 3.1 inch HVGA display. The Bravo does away with the keyboard but has a 3..7-inch [...]

Some early work has been made to port Cyanogen Mod 6 to the newly-launched T-Mobile myTouch 4G, but things aren’t looking their best just yet. We’re sure “Team Douche” has every intention to support this device as they have every other MyTouch device, so for now, just stare at this shot of stock Android running [...]

To round out Samsung’s Galaxy trifecta on the carrier we all know as Big Red, Verizon’s released the Samsung Galaxy Tab. If you want this device from them, you’ll have to pay the full retail price of $599.99 whether you opt-in to a two-year contract or not. It’s quite strange, but perhaps you’ll get a [...]

Doodle Jump – one of the most popular and addictive games in the Android market to date – has gone on sale until November 17th for only $.99. (Normally, it’ll set you back $3.49.) Aside from a nice temporary price drop, you’ll get four new themes – Jungle, Space, Night, and Christmas – and the [...]

You decide you’re ready to try out that new fangled game that everyone is talking about. Mad Chickens, or something. You search, click, read some comments, click install. Before anything is installed to the phone you are greeted with a list of things this particular application has access to on your device and are asked [...]

Hot on the heels of the SyFy.com block, and now joining the other three networks; Fox has joined the .com block for Google TV, where previously they were only teetering on the idea. Quite disappointing, but hopefully it will light a match under Google’s butt to get some sort of resolution that benefits all three [...]

Most of the world’s major news outlets have made their way to Android, but the Wall Street Journal was missing from that list, for some reason. It seems they were waiting on a device worthy of carrying their digital newspaper, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the first device to receive that honor. "Our strategy [...]

Sometime within the next 20 or so days, Sprint will be flipping their 4G switch for Los Angeles subscribers. This follows a lengthy period of testing not unlike what New York went through before getting their 4G love (and what San Francisco is currently going through leading up to their inevitable launch.) It’s harder to [...]

Yesterday, we learned Del started selling the Dell Streak exclusively for Rogers customers –  just as it had been rumored – but we didn’t see Rogers offering the 5-inch device subsidized as we’d also heard. Today, they’ve gone ahead and announced their plans to offer it for $149.99 on three year voice and data plans. [...]
