We’ll admit: we missed this one interesting detail about the Samsung Galaxy S II when it was announced at Mobile World Congress a week and a half ago. Samsung’s employed a technology called MHL – Mobile High-Definition Link – that allows you to use your USB port as an HDMI port. No, the port doesn”t [...]

If you were out considering the Motorola Atrix 4G and had a chance to check out the laptop dock in-store and subsequently purchased it, you will find that the demo units are mysteriously more capable than the product consumers are taking home.

When your company is launching its first 4G smartphone, it couldn’t hurt to have an extra G backing the endeavor, so MetroPCS turned to one of the original Gs, Snoop Dogg, to help promote the launch of the Samsung Indulge.

WebM was introduced by Google last year as their answer to developing a media codec capable of reproducing high-quality video while being easily portable and open source.

Here is definitive proof that all it takes to get your hands on a free, limited edition version of the Motorola XOOM is some serious acting skills and an Oscar-worthy resume. This basically means if you aren’t Natalie Portman, David Fincher, or the like, don’t expect to get one of these gold-emblazoned Motorola XOOM tablets. [...]

With the rate that Rovio is churning out Angry Birds titles, it is a bit surprising that we have yet seen an ad-free paid version of the game for Android. Perhaps it’s the millions of dollars Rovio is raking in with the free ad-supported version that has held off a paid version; maybe they have [...]

The new Android 2.3.3 update rolling out to Nexus S handsets brings along a bunch of cool enhancements, writable NFC tags being one of them, but it might be what the update takes away that will have people talking. The update, in an effort to push Google’s data portability schtick, has disabled the ability for [...]

If I am recalling correctly, the Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Epic 4G are thus far the only US Galaxy S phones to receive their update to Android 2.2. The Samsung Captivate has had its fair share of hopeful moments, too, such as an update page that went live but was quickly pulled after word got [...]

Ladies and gents, a new Galaxy S device is upon us, and sadly it isn’t the Samsung Galaxy S II just yet. Rather, it is the marginally improved Samsung Galaxy S 4G for T-Mobile, a riff on the original Galaxy S Vibrant featuring a font-facing camera, Android 2.2, and HSPA+ support. If you go direct [...]

Just yesterday there was a rumor floating around that Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) might never come to the Nexus One. The thought was that 2.3 would remain a Nexus S exclusive while all other phones would get the 2.4 version of Gingerbread. Looks like that was wrong. The @GoogleNexus Twitter announced last night that the update [...]

Motorola said they’d be trying to meet developers half way when it comes to encrypted bootloaders on their devices. Many interpreted this to mean that most or all of their future devices would be encryption free: this moderator at Motorola’s support forums says to not assume that and to wait for official word from Motorola [...]

I stumbled across a new game in the Android market called PewPew today. It was released a couple of weeks ago, but I figured it was worth shouting out if most of you haven’t heard of it. It’s something like Geometry Wars if you’ve ever played that – you move about the playing field trying [...]

We’ve already got OEMs making in-dash systems that use Android – such as Parrot – but I think this is one of the first times we’ve seen an existing Android tablet being used as both the hardware and software component for one. Someone’s taken a rooted NOOKcolor, hooked it up to the stereo system inside [...]
