Infamous hardware hacker Geohot has a bit of a history with Sony. His Playstation 3 hacking landed him in some hot water, legally. But that isn’t stopping the rebellious jailbreaker of the iPhone from venturing deeper into Sony’s product line. He has recently voiced his intention to be the first person to root the upcoming [...]

Ready for another twist in the he said/she said game  of whether or not the HTC Inspire 4G on AT&T has HSUPA support? The technology, which provides faster upload speeds, was firmly denied to be included in the Inspire handset by AT&T sources, but now Engadget is claiming their insiders confirm HSUPA support is in [...]

Two more handsets are getting their fair share of the Android 3.0 Honeycomb SDK port. The closely related HTC Desire and Nexus One both received the new version of Android meant for tablets. Just as the ports for the NOOKcolor and various other handsets and tablets, don’t expect much functionality. Actually, don’t even expect to [...]

We know a lot about the upcoming Honeycomb tablet from Toshiba. It will carry the 10.1-inch form factor with 1280×800 resolution, feature dual cameras, and an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor. But what hasn’t been revealed as of yet is a name for the device. A new image grabbed from the folks at TabletGuide.nl suggests that [...]

If you think all the way back to the launch of the Motorola Droid, you might remember a time when there were no more than 20,000 apps available in the Android Market. Today that number has cross the 250,000 mark. With the increased number of applications should come an increased income, but would you believe [...]

I just learned about a game called Tower Raiders – another tower defense game. This one is pretty good, and although I’ve only had a limited amount of time with the beta version of the sequel, it made me want to go and dig out the original. It might have that effect on you, too. [...]

We’ve just been notified that US Cellular is launching a BOGF (buy-one-get-five) deal that’ll go on through March 10th. If you buy one phone, you can get up to five other ones free on a family plan. There is a tiny catch, of course: you don’t exactly get to pick and choose which phones you [...]

I just wanted to take a quick break in the day to watch this Thunderbolt commercial. It’s quite cool, actually. Fits that “epic-y” tone Verizon is going for throughout their 4G campaign. But one user on YouTube described it perfectly: I think the guy was attempting to blow up the prototype. It’s a hint that [...]

More crazy rumors coming out of the Sony camp today. This time, a clamshell form-factor device named the Sony S2 seems to be in the works, according to reports received by Engadget. This is what the Kyocera Echo should have been, if their specs are accurate. This thing sports two 5.5-inch displays, a Tegra 2 [...]

We’ve been saying it over and over again, but just in case anyone still had their doubts, we’ll say it one last time: Android 2.4 is still Gingerbread. The changes made to it over 2.3 won’t be noticeable by the end-user unless they fix glaring bugs. (Like that damned reset bug we hear still has [...]

Sprint’s doing it again: they’re teasing us with a new phone announcement and haven’t given up anything but a date. They tweeted this not even an hour ago: “What do you think the next new Sprint phone will be? Find out Thursday! #comebackfeb24.” So, once again, our interest is piqued. We thought Sprint really had [...]

A company called Ixonos was hiding at Mobile World Congress last week and they were showing off their system on top of Android that allows you to work with windows, just like on a desktop PC. With the windowed UI, you can have multiple applications running at once, and one application doesn’t have to take [...]

You may have heard about this already, but we weren’t able to get to this interesting bit of news until just recently. Mobicartel has announced a bi-weekly session – called Coding Green Robots – that’ll help budding coders get started with developing Android applications. Every other Tuesday – starting with February 22nd (tomorrow) – they’ll [...]

Pinball games are sorely lacking on the Android market, it seems. There was one decent one that came out a while ago, but it wasn’t the most polished I’ve seen. Pinball Deluxe changes that, however. High quality graphics, accurate physics, and fun-looking game modes come together to make this a great-looking pinball experience for Android. [...]

So Apple’s iPhone 4 was introduced as the world’s thinnest smartphone, then LG vowed to trump them with the LG Optimus Black. And now NEC’s getting into this aggressive shoving contest: the NEC Medias is just 7.7mm thin. To compare, the Galaxy S 2 is 8.49mm, the Optimus Black is 9.2mm, and the iPhone 4 [...]

We’ve heard the rumors: Google wanted to take on Apple and their iTunes suite. More than just apps, the Android market is poised to become a music downloading service, a digital library, and even a film repository. Books already has its own tab on Honeycomb’s Android market. And we already know of Google’s plans to [...]

Guess what, folks? It’s February 21st, and that means the Samsung Epic 4G’s Froyo upgrade should be officially rolling out from Sprint. Some of you might not get it today, but don’t worry as Sprint’s taking the entire week to get it to everyone. Here’s the list of enhancements Sprint’s touting: Upgrade of the Google [...]

Weird. Folks actually read the fine print on an advertisement! Alright, that’s not so weird. What is weird, though, is the fact that Verizon is stating that the Motorola XOOM will not be able to browse the web with flash until Adobe Flash support comes in Spring 2011. They could be waiting for Adobe to [...]

If you haven’t heard (or seen), the folks at Twidroyd have made the necessary changes to their application and Twitter has granted it access to their APIs again. If you weren’t around to see why it was ever down in the first place, click here: they basically violated Twitter’s terms of use, but fixing their shortcoming [...]

Best Buy’s got some ‘splainin to do. In the latest issue of their Mobile Buyer’s Guide, they’ve listed the HTC Thunderbolt – still without a date – for $299.99. This is interesting considering we’ve been hearing $249.99 and it’s unsual to see a phone go for more than that. Then there’s the fact that Best Buy [...]
