The Motorola XOOM is well on its way to root and beyond with the first instance of Clockwork Recovery running on the tablet. Perhaps the most amazing thing about this is that famed hacker Koush managed to get CR up and running in less than two hours after picking up his own XOOM. This is [...]

If you didn’t get around to updating your Android device to the latest version of Gmail and are wondering why it isn’t showing in the Android Market, you may or may not be relieved to know Google has pulled the update after many users have reported stability issues. If you did get the update and [...]

Recently we caught word that the 2011 version of MLB At Bat would feature live video streams of games. At that point in time the only MLB At Bat available in the Android Market was the 2010 version.

Well, what do we have here? More evidence that RIM is hard at work on getting Android apps on their BlackBerry hardware? According to analytics data compiled by popular Android application ShopSavvy, that is just the case. Their data shows that a total of three separate BlackBerry devices accessed their servers while running the Android [...]

The official Android Developers Blog just published a post detailing all that is new with animations in Honeycomb. Actually, they didn’t detail it all, because apparently the changes from the animation style in older versions of Android are so numerous all couldn’t be explained in a single article. The takeaway message is what was once [...]

Just as quickly as a system dump of the Motorola XOOM’s software and media files came online, it was ordered down by Motorola’s legal department. Visiting the XDA thread distributing the files, where links to the system dump previously resided can now be found the text “Links removed due to receipt of a DMCA (Digital [...]

It isn’t quite as flashy or exciting as Google Music, but another new segment of the Android Market webstore has launched concurrently with the release of Android 3.0 Honeycomb: Google Books. We’ve seen that e-reading is totally overhauled in Honeycomb, and to go along with a brilliantly designed app and homescreen bookshelf widget comes an [...]

The release of the Motorola XOOM is going to have a major effect on the Android tablet market. Sub-par offerings just won’t cut it anymore, especially at prices beyond what most are will to pay. This is not to say the Samsung Galaxy Tab is a bad choice for a tablet, but its new $300 [...]

If a report by Bloomberg turns out to be true, Clearwire may have good reason to begin worrying about their current network partnership with Sprint. As has already been speculated, with Sprint being just about the only carrier to back WiMAX as their 4G technology, a shift to LTE may not be out of the [...]

While Adobe Flash still waits for its day when it will be compatible with Android Honeycomb with the release of Flash Player 10.2, AIR is already receiving its update for tablet compliancy. While that is certainly the major news coming out of the update, plenty of other enhancements and tweaks have been made. Overall performance [...]

The Epic 4G got its Froyo upgrade starting Monday (though it’s since been pulled), and now Samsung and AT&T are rolling the upgrade to Android 2.2 out for their Galaxy S phone, the Samsung Captivate. You’ll need Mini Kies to grab it – no OTA here – but Samsung has posted rather clear instructions to [...]

If you haven’t been able to go out and pick one up for yourself – or if you have one and want to know how to use it without having to read some stinkin’ manual – you’ll be glad to know that Motorola has just published a series of Motorola XOOM how-to videos on their [...]

AT&T wasn’t kidding when they said that the upgrade to Android 2.2 for the HTC Aria would be out “soon”, and now they’ve taken to their Facebook page with a message letting everyone know that they’ll be posting instructions on how to download and apply the update tomorrow. We’ll be looking for those instructions and [...]

Most of you called it: the Epic 4G update for the Samsung EPIC 4G would come out and it would get pulled in a matter of days. Things were all set to be wrapped up tomorrow and all would have had Froyo and all would have been happy. The phone gods weren’t having that, though: [...]

iFixIt – just a day removed from stripping the Motorola Atrix 4G – have gotten their hands on the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. We’re not sure how interesting you’ll find this considering it’s just a Vibrant with 4G radios inside, but we bit anyway. A few highlights from iFixIt: * We found a bummer from [...]

Play.com has published their pre-order plans for the Samsung Galaxy S II. You can pay £650 pounds to pre-order it right now. They say to expect it release on the 31st of March, but considering that’s the very last day of that month, it could very well be a placeholder for a different date in [...]

Dell’s hoping folks in Japan will really get excited for the Dell Streak, it seems: the PC – and now phone/tablet – manufacturer has teamed up with a dance band called World Order to showcase their product in perhaps the most interesting and entertaining way ever. Fake slow motion, still technique dancing, and more rear [...]

Alright we can stop playing the guessing game: it’s Feburary 24th and Sprint has officially announced their latest phone. (We did hear about this yesterday, though.) No, it’s not Android – we originally warned you that Android isn’t the only smartphone operating system in the world. (Bummer, right?) It’s a Windows Phone 7 device called [...]
