It’s been a while since we heard any news of the Dell Look Glass, but while the hubbub has been squarely directed at the upcoming Dell Streak 7 on T-Mobile, the company’s other 7-inch Android tablet has quietly passed the GCF. The Looking Glass supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and quadband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz according to [...]

It seems like it has been a while since we posted any zany Angry Birds images, so we’re long overdue for this scene in LEGO of the entire Angry Birds family along with their tormentors. These were pieced together by one Tsang Yiu Keung. Now the real test is to see how they hold up [...]

Despite some recent hacking opening up root on the Google TV platform, the modified version of Android has remained a fairly closed system since it’s release last fall. Part of this is due to it being one of the only versions of Android designed to run on x86 CPU architecture with Intel chips powering the [...]

We just saw yesterday that Sony Ericsson is going above and beyond the call of multi-touch with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, but lest you forget, the company also decided after a long period of waffling that they would indeed implement multi-touch support into the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. If you recall, that phone was [...]

The tablet that has come to be known as the T-Mobile G-Slate could be headed to Europe. Whether or not the G-Slate name sticks on an international version of what we once called the Optimus Pad, one thing that most likely won’t make the trip is a 4G radio. According to LG’s James Choi a [...]

No release date for the HTC Thunderbolt? No worries! Verizon’s started training their employees on the thing, and if past training treks are anything to go by, we could be seeing a device launch in a few weeks. We won’t hold our breath, though: that’d be detrimental to our health. But we’d be quite surprised [...]

Job postings are so revealing, aren’t they? Some of the bigger names in our entertainment ecosystem – such as Sony and Netflix – have revealed their Android aspirations through spottings of job postings. CryTek – the folks who create CryEngine (which the video game Crysis is based on) – may be the newest in a [...]

We must admit: we weren’t the most convinced bunch of folks here at Phandroid when it came to the legitimacy of Notion Ink and the Adam. After all, the pre-order process was a bit mucked, Notion Ink seemed to be afraid to put the thing on video, and delayed pre-orders due to the lack of [...]

I can’t confirm this myself, but folks are saying Samsung have delivered the upgrade to Android 2.2.1 – a maintenance upgrade to Android not to be confused with the Android 2.2 upgrade which the Galaxy S already enjoys. It brings with it not only the general bug fixes and small enhancements to Froyo, but Androinica [...]

We’re not sure how this rumor slipped by our eagle eyes, but LG is said to be announcing a mass market phone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month with Near Field Communication capabilities. The phone is said to come in at ~$200, but no other details were given. The rumors are based on [...]

“Your LG Ally Just Got Better,” says Verizon as they’re getting ready to push out a pretty tasty update for the LG Ally. Android 2.2 is on its way according to a leaked .PDF detailing the upgrade – one we expect to see on Verizon’s site soon enough. “VS740ZVD” is the name/number of this one, [...]

Acer – in a move they say will be to eventually phase out netbooks – has announced three new Android tablets for 2011. We’re not sure to what extent they’ll differ from the products introduced at CES, but one big thing will change: these tablets will be running Intel’s Sandy Bridge chipsets instead of NVIDIA’s [...]

This is the last thing I thought I’d see in the sudden uproar against Samsung and T-Mobile over the Vibrant debacle. (Rumors alleged that Samsung and T-Mobile were holding back the Android 2.2 update for the original Vibrant until after the as-yet unannounced Samsung Vibrant 4G has been launched.) The class action lawsuit was expected [...]

Just when we thought Sprint might give everyone a break on the $10 data premium for their 4G phones due to the lack of 4G rollouts as of late, they’ve announced that ALL smartphone owners – regardless of network capabilities – will be subject to a $10 data premium effective January 30th for all new [...]

GameStop’s expected to announce an Android application for Kongregate – the online repository for free ad-supported games – sometime today. The application would feature hundreds of free games and would be GameStop’s first step into their mobile gaming strategy. The digital part of it is nothing new: GameStop already works with major publishers for console [...]

It’s not the first time it’s happened, nor will it be the last time, but a reader of ours – Bart – brought to our attention a “developer” who’s been posting applications and games that he’s ripped from the internet and passing off as his own. The developer’s name is “jasminstory” and has several titles [...]

ARM in conjunction with IBM have announced a partnership that’ll see the two working together going forward to create low-power semiconductor chips for ARM’s latest mobile chipsets. In their endeavors, ARM will continue to improve the architecture they’ve provided for so long while IBM helps them keep power consumption at an industry low with 14 [...]

PopCap’s director of editorial and social media – Jeff Green – took to that social media aspect recently and made us wet our pants. No, not because we’re petrified of the guy (for whatever reason we would be), but because we got so excited seeing both Plants vs Zombies and Peggle running on a Nexus [...]

Sony Ericsson’s product blog is back with more in-depth content regarding their latest “official” device, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. This time, we’re given a tour of the device’s camera features. I’ll tell you right now: if you had any doubts about this device’s ability to take photos, then you’re in for a pleasent surprise. [...]

If you thought it was strange that CyanogenMod 6 nightlies stopped being posted, it’s because of one very obvious reason: Steve and the team were hard at work hammering away at the Gingerbread source code for CM7. Nightlies have returned for all to enjoy, and they will soon (how soon, we’re not sure) be stable [...]
