Another popular iOS game – Slice It! (Complete with exclamation mark.) – has made its way to Android, today, and can be found for free on GetJar’s site.  (This isn’t just a trial version, either, a trend that may get popular as iOS developers test out new revenue models for the hard-to-crack Android market.)

Tablet Tuesday kicks off with the Notion Ink Adam’s website going live, but much like the promotional video we saw released for the tablet yesterday, it doesn’t give us a whole lot about the device itself. It’s a good thing leaks were numerous and plenty on this thing because we already know a lot about [...]

Word just came in via Kellex from Droid-Life that Motorola is alerting their Motorola Feedback Network members about an incoming upgrade for the original Motorola Droid in order to get some pre-release feedback.

Traveling buffs who go beyond the US borders but stay within the continent will love to hear that CoPilot Live North America has just gone on sale for $9.99 in the Android market: a 50% price reduction as it’ll normally run you $19.99.

While the Samsung Galaxy S Giorgio Armani edition offers little more over the original, the name alone will sell to several fashion-conscious consumers.
