We’re about to attend the LG press conference at Mobile World Congress 2011 and most of LG’s cats are out of the bag. This morning they’ve already showed off the LG Optimus 3D and Optimus Pad at their booth and the Android area, and the Optimus Black and Optimus 2X were already known entities. What’s [...]

Samsung isn’t calling it the Galaxy Tab II, but you could definitely think of it that way. While they are introducing it as a complimentary product to the 7-inch Galaxy Tab currently available, the Tab 10.1′s upgraded hardware and Android 3.0 Honeycomb software make it easily the more appealing of the two. Thankfully, Samsung left [...]

It’s here. The successor to the hugely successful Samsung Galaxy S became official yesterday at Mobile World Congress, and we were on hand to have a go with the refined and updated handset. Let’s get this out of the way first: the Galaxy S II is definitely an incremental evolution of the original, but the [...]

We have a very busy schedule over the next week and won’t have time to get to every bit of news that comes out of the feed. We’ll try and bring to you the more interesting stories we’ve spotted throughout the day, and even throughout the week, but our main focus this week will be [...]

Hours before their official Mobile World Congress Press Conference, LG issued a press release teasing their Optimus 3D and Optimus Pad (G-Slate) with a content partnership between themselves and Google. According to LG, their 3D consumer devices solve two huge problems with the 3D experience: limited mobility and the need for special glasses. I’d argue [...]

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo struck me as one of those “so what” devices when it was introduced as a lot of what it had was similar to the Xperia Arc and Pro. It has the Exmore camera – which takes amazing photos in any lighting condition – the Bravia Engine with the “Reality Display”, [...]

While the original Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 was geared toward music lovers and social networking buffs – and while the Xperia X10 Mini Pro looked to bring the first keyboard to the Android-based branch of the Xperia family – the Xperia Pro seems more like a device for business professionals than anything. The first thing [...]

At a pre-MWC event in Barcelona, Samsung made their Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 Official, bringing the next evolution of their Android devices that rose to stardom in 2010. Samsung claimed they’ve sold 10 million Galaxy devices last year and the latest additions, while nothing groundbreaking, definitely bring some welcome updates that consumers will [...]

It was denied time and time again, and countless leaks proved to discount anything Sony ever said about a “PlayStation Phone” not being in the works. They eventually caved, though, and announced the device during Super Bowl weekend. And today, we’ve finally gotten a chance to “play” with it in Barcelona. The skinny: the Sony [...]

Sony Ericsson’s second-most exciting product announcement was the Xperia Pro – a high-end Xperia phone with a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. It wasn’t much more than that, but they implemented a neat feature in their email application that’ll let you view your inbox in split panes. We’ll be heading out to the demo booths in [...]

Sony Ericsson just wrapped up their Mobile World Congress press conference here in Barcelona and they’ve had a lot of cool excitements. Aside from folks being able to actually play with the Xperia Play today, they’ve announced the Xperia Neo. It’s not the most exciting looking smartphone, but it’s just another punch in the 1-2 [...]

Sony Ericsson just announced that Big Red customers will be able to snatch up the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play in early Spring as they’ll be the first carrier in the United States to carry the device. We expected that to happen, but it’s official now. They also left TONS of room for other carriers to [...]

Samsung’s getting ready for their big reveal later on today and just as we heard, the Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy S 2 will both definitely be on hand. And just hours before the event, we’ve gotten even more – official images of both. These beautiful Spanish girls are holding up none other than the [...]

\ Just as with the original Nexus One, it looks like Google’s trying to get this thing out to more than one carrier. The Nexus S has recently passed certification at the FCC, it would appear. FCC only handles devices intended to be sold in the United States, but Canadians – who operate on the [...]

We’ve seen plenty of HTC Thunderbolt cases showing up over the past week, despite the fact that a rumored February 14th release date seems to be giving way to an a second rumored February 24th release date. While the first group of cases we saw landed at Best Buy, if I’m not mistaken this is [...]

I don’t think we needed THAT much confirmation, but here it goes anyway: Engadget’s saying that you can definitely expect to see the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 when Samsung unveils it at their Mobile World Congress event tomorrow. The Galaxy Tab 2 will indeed be a 10 inch tablet and [...]

Droid-Life has just received a smorgasbord of information regarding two of Verizon’s devices to come out soon. New Sunday circulars confirm the Motorola XOOM will be $799.99, while we’ve finally gotten a solid price on the HTC Thunderbolt – $249.99. The ad also confirms folks will need to purchase at least 1 month of data [...]

If you haven’t heard, we’re in Barcelona and just endured a 24-hour journey to get here, so we may have missed a few things with this one, and a few of these items are from the past few days. Regardless, we missed them, and you shouldn’t. Go ahead and wade through the madness. Picplz for [...]

Peter Alfonso – the revered developer responsible for the BuglessBeast series – has done it again: he’s maintaining a 100% pure ROM of Android 2.3, and his efforts started with the latest .2 incremental upgrade to add full read/write capabilities for any NFC-equipped devices. You’ll have to get some Google apps – such as YouTube [...]

The other day, we reported on some rumored specs coming out suggesting the Samsung Galaxy S2 would be getting Qualcomm’s dual-core Snapdragon processor instead of their own-developed dual-core Orion. This lined up with earlier reports saying Samsung’s Orion wasn’t quite ready for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, thus they’d employed NVIDIA for that sequel. A [...]
