I’m getting a little tired of the folks at Lumigon. After initially teasing their feature-packed lineup of Android phones just a little under a year ago, they finally had a coming out party for the Lumigon T1 last October. At that event it was made known that the phone would feature a classy set of [...]

It looks like there is, in fact, a catch to the Samsung Vibrant update to Android 2.2 through T-Mobile. While an update is indeed being made available to users in the form of a build version KA6, word from inside T-Mobile is suggesting that this is an optional update coming via the Samsung Kies software, [...]

Just like Rovio presented us with Halloween and Christmas versions of the runaway success we call Angry Birds, the team is gearing up for the holiday of love with a special pink-tinged version of the game. In the video clip below from DW-TV we see the Rovio gang hard at work on all sorts of [...]

Another case of old news becoming new news: the Motorola DROID Bioinic devices on display at CES had an app called Motorola Messenger installed on them, and no one noticed. Better late than never, though. It looks like Motorola may want to pull a RIM and provide a comprehensive, feature-rich messaging experience for Motorola users. [...]

Been a while since we heard about this little fellow, hasn’t it? The Samsung Gem – which Best Buy was getting ready to sell for Verizon – never came to form. Rumor had it that it’d been canned, but no official statement or announcement was ever made. We forgot about the little guy, really. But [...]

Just when you thought Oracle didn’t have a case to sue Google for patent infringement, software patent blog FOSSPatents dug up a shocking-yet-not-so-shocking revelation: 43 source files that were written specifically for Java turn up in Android’s source code. The issue here isn’t that Google “borrowed” that source code. Nor does the new heft of [...]

Following the brief announcement on Twitter that he’d be ceasing work on his Crystal Clear ROMs to work on Cyanogen Mod, Cvpcs – through Droid-Life – issued a letter of intent, clarification, and a “farewell” of sorts. He talks about the flak Cyanogen has received for the move, issues in his personal life that urged him [...]

When we finally got our first real looks at Honeycomb – and even before then – we believed Google may want to eventually combine the two, with the phone version of Honeycomb and beyond taking a lot of style cues from what we know as Android 3.0 today. That still remains true – Google still [...]

Pre-order this, off-contract that, we realize many of you were waiting on carrier contract pricing for the LG Optimus 2X. Thankfully, Expansys – a popular UK retailer – has revealed that they’ll be offering the LG Optimus 2X free through Vodafone for tariffs starting at 30 pounds per month. If you opt to throw your [...]

HTC’s just reported their fourth quarter stats for 2010, and just as you’d expect, they don’t disappoint at all. Year-on-year net profit is 160%, and overall sales doubled since this same time last year: to 24.6 million units. They accrued revenue of $3.6 billion overall this quarter, and came away with $500 million to throw [...]

Before I write this small block of text, let me just say I hear you: we’ve been posting an awful lot of Notion Ink coverage. It’s just one of the more interesting product launches we’ve witnessed and we’re secretly excited by this thing. We’re trying to slow down, but expect a couple more after this [...]

Another decent-looking budget phone from LG leaked – the LG Optimus Me P350. It’ll be launched in a variety of colors – the five you see above – and will most probably ship with Android 2.2, according to information gathered by FoneArena. Specs include a 3 megapixel camera, a display with a resolution of 320×480, [...]

Germans are getting uber excited (see what I did there?) about the LG Optimus 2X – which is being called the Optimus Speed over in that part of Europe – and have been covering this thing as extensively as one could hope. At SmartDroid, they put the device up against the Nexus S and ran [...]

Rumor mill a-spinnin’ again. Android & Me’s Taylor Wimberly has it on good authority that the T-Mobile G-Slate – made by LG – will not have a glasses-free 3D display, but it will come with the ability to take 3D pictures and display 3D content accessible with special (and hopefully inexpensive) glasses. We’re not totally [...]

Let’s face it: Android is evolving into something Google probably never thought it would. With that, they probably never thought they’d need for their Android market to filter out devices without touchscreens. We’ve already seen one phone without a touchscreen by Motorola, and now Google TV poses that problem once the eventual launch of the [...]

Yesterday, it was discovered on the Dell Streak 7′s sign-up page that the device may be $330 based on fine print that stated those interested could opt to pay 4 separate installments of $82.50. T-Mobile’s chimed in to tell us that this is false as it was simply the product of a technical error. Bummer. [...]

Mobilicity’s CEO Dave Dobbins said in a video that the Nexus S would indeed be headed to Canada, if any of you folks up there were wondering about Gingerbread or an updated Google experience phone. Bell, Rogers, and Telus are also said to be in on it, so choice of carrier hopefully won’t be a [...]

When we first told you guys about Rocket Bunnies for Android, the comments piled up claiming the game was indeed a blast, some even comparing its addiction to compareable to Angry Birds. Good news: we just got a note from our friends at Defiant Development letting us know about a HUGE update to the game [...]

MetroPCS has launched a pretty awesome campaign called “Android For All” which features all the makings of Android Community Awesomeness. They’ve gotten celebrities to design their own Android Robots, are asking you to do the same, and one winner will actually have their design turned into a limited edition toy. Check out designs from celebs [...]

And one step closer to its release, the Motorola Atrix 4G has passed the FCC. There it is in all its 5GHz Wi-Fi, 850/1900 MHz 3G glory rocking the MB860 model number. This phone that basically transforms into a computer is on many an Android geek’s wish list, now we just await the final release [...]
