For the impatient, my Verizon 4G has been consistently reporting 28 Mb/s. Read on for details. Just before 2010 turned into 2011, I had the pleasure of getting a Verizon 4G LTE Modem to test. I’m currently a Verizon Mi-Fi customer and I absolutely love the service, using it often, and when I do it [...]

Taking a page from Fruit Ninja’s book, Orange Pixel has an update in the pipeline for their fun little take on the classic game Snake, Mini Army, that will bring the app its very own arcade mode. Just like Fruit Ninja gives you one minute to make as much of a fruity mess as possible, [...]

While the specific date can be pinned down, we can say with a pretty high degree of certainty that the HTC Thunderbolt, Verizon’s first 4G LTE smartphone, will be launching during the second half of February. Adding even more fuel to that fire is a recent leak pinning February 19th as the date that Thunderbolt [...]

If you had to guess what four types of devices developers are clamoring to code for… what would you guess? I don’t think it’s a surprise that the top 4 are the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, Android Phones and Android Tablets. While Apple products still lead in mindshare with developers, Android is a close second [...]

The wait for the Notion Ink Adam was frustrating to say the least. Once the tablet finally went on sale, the wait for the Adam to ship was equally as irksome. Once Notion Ink’s wonder tablet turned out to be less wonderful than expected, that was just disappointing. But thanks to XDA you can now [...]

Corona, a game development tool for Android and iOS, is spreading its wings a bit with a newly available beta for Windows. What was once Mac-only software due largely to the Mac-only Xcode compiler for iOS games can now be leveraged by Windows-based developers wishing to give the coding tool a spin. While iOS games [...]

Back at CES LG teased a bit of their mobile 3D technology in a non-functional smartphone, promising that the glasses-free display would be finding its way to a working handset sooner than we might expect. We all assumed we would be seeing said device at Mobile World Congress, but well before we pack our bags [...]

Quick quiz: what do you get when you combine a wind-up flashlight, microUSB charger, and Android smartphone? If you said the world’s first flashlight app hardware peripheral you win no prizes today. If you guessed a kinetically-powered battery charger for your Android device, however, kudos to you. That’s exactly what hardware hacker Ben Heck created [...]

Yesterday we got our first look at renders of a before unheard of white version of the Nexus S by Samsung. Today brings us our first look at the handset in the wild. If the original renders didn’t have you drooling for what we like to call the Nexus Sexy, maybe this image showcasing the [...]

Verizon just released their quarterly earnings report, and it looks like Big Red is doing pretty well for themselves. This time last year the carrier was raking in $2.37 billion, a number which was nearly doubled to $4.65 billion last quarter. This could have a lot to do with the 872,000 new subscribers Verizon added, [...]

The Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 — one of several phones suggested as the Galaxy S Mini — has already seen several leaked images and a lengthy detailing of specs, so its appearance on Samsung’s Indonesian website, though premature, shouldn’t surprise anyone. The listing not only provides good quality renders of the handset but also confirms [...]

With a lineup of tablets that’s about to get pretty deep, T-Mobile is doing what it can to keep sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab lively right up to the minute the Dell Streak 7 (and eventually the LG G-Slate) launches. After already getting the Galaxy Tab’s price down to $299.99 on a 2-year contract, [...]

Yesterday we learned that Best Buy would begin stocking up on the Motorola Atrix 4G bound for AT&T’s American airwaves come February 13th, and now we are learning when the handset could be arriving for our neighbors up north. March 17th appears to be the date the phone will launch on Bell Canada, according to [...]

Stop reading now if you were hoping the HTC Flyer — the tablet the company is saying doesn’t exist despite plenty of evidence suggesting otherwise — was going to be one of the top-notch tablets of the year. Some of the slate’s specs were just revealed, and sadly the device is looking like it may [...]

While the NOOKcolor from Barnes & Noble is currently in hot demand (and doing a pretty good job of creating a stir in the Android hacking community), the old-school Nook with 3G radio is being discontinued. The Wi-Fi version will remain, and that brand-spanking new NOOKcolor isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. That should help narrow [...]

One of the first apps for Android — and best friend for shoppers everywhere — is getting a major overhaul with the launch of ShopSavvy 4. The updated app will be available tomorrow and brings some big changes to the app that so many Android users have become familiar with. The first thing you will [...]

Google is taking yet another step into the realm of mobile web pages as apps with the introduction of some nifty new features for their weather results. When using a mobile device (English only, for now), a simple search for “weather” will now return an interactive set of information on the days forecast. The content [...]

While most of the internet is all abuzz about the launch of the white iPhone, Samsung is up to their old tricks again readying an equally pale version of their Nexus S with Android 2.3. As seems to be the case with most Android phones, the white variant looks to equate to a new battery [...]

While NASA isn’t blowing people’s minds to the tune of manned moon landings and trips around the solar system quite like they used to, they are still making some pretty big advancements in the study of the universe around us. While some groups are busy sending Android into outer space, NASA has just brought outer [...]

A pair of logos have leaked for what is said to be two new handsets headed to Sprint’s network. The first, the HTC Arrive, is being pegged as a Windows Phone 7 device, while the second, the Kyocera Echo is a bit more mysterious. The name is said to be the retail branding of a [...]
