We’ve said it time and time again, and we’ve gotten tons of confirmation, but Best Buy has republished their pre-order page for the Motorola XOOM. In fact, you could go out and pre-order one right now if you want to. Don’t expect to be able to walk out of the store with it until February [...]

Funny. I’m sitting on an airplane on my way home from Barcelona, and I find that Flight Control for Android has been released. That’s totally not an omen. Anyway, there have been many “flight control” type games on the Android market since Android was conceived, but this iOS hit might be worth the $5 they’re [...]

So I’ve been playing with the Inspire 4G for the better part of two weeks now, and as AT&T has 4G coverage in my area, I’ve been doing lots of speed tests. LOTS of them. I have been quite pleased with download speed results, but I was a bit irked by the upload speeds I [...]

While Verizon has Skype and while T-Mobile and Sprint both have Qik, AT&T is the only carrier left out of the loop in regards to a major video-calling service provider. That may change according to PC World, who caught wind of a meeting between the two entities. Skype’s Rick Osterloh says to “…what out for [...]

We’d already gotten prices from third-party providers WalMart and Wirefly, but T-Mobile has gone ahead and announced their official pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G: you’ll be able to grab the thing up for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. I’d see if I could get a better deal at a third-party retailer if [...]

One of the bigger things Google wanted to highlight in Android 3.0 was the developers’ ability to take advantage of a new animation framework they’ve included. As we aren’t developers we haven’t gotten a real chance to check it out – and most of the apps we’ve seen at Mobile World Congress have not used [...]

They’re about a month late from their original promise, but PopCap has finally released Bejeweled 2 for Android. Yes, we know Bejeweled 3 is out for PCs, and we know Bejeweled 2 has been out for quite some time on iOS. I’m sure PopCap is working hard on getting us up to date with their [...]

Before it could even officially hit the streets, the Motorola Atrix 4G has been rooted thanks to a handful of members between our AndroidForums and XDA. See it above running Titanium Backup. There are still some hurdles to jump such as that dreaded Motorola bootloader, but the head start is encouraging. We’re well on our [...]

Wirefly has published their presale plans for T-Mobile’s Samsung Galaxy S 4G, an HSPA+ enabled follow-up  to the Samsung Vibrant. You can get the phone a bit cheaper than you would get it from T-Mobile, and it should be on your doorstep sometime next week. Click on through to Wirefly to check it out. [Update] [...]

Many of you have probably tried tweeting form Twidroyd in the past 24 hours. Many of you have also probably been met with errors as your frustration rises. The reason behind that is because Twitter suspended them for policy and privacy violations, according to RWW. Here’s an excerpt from the official statement they put out: [...]

This just in from our own AndroidForums: Several members are confirming that their Motorola Atrix 4G pre-orders have begun shipping as of today, with the handset expected to arrive early next week (or sooner). This lines right up with the now confirmed street date of February 22nd, though initial reports seemed to indicate phones bought [...]

Blink and you’d miss this one. Or maybe it should be ‘go about using Android Market as usual and you will probably still miss this one.’ And that’s a good thing. The Android Market has gotten a slight tweak to better its appearance on higher-res displays with the change of font for display text. Compare [...]

Lenovo launched an Android phone called the LePhone in Asian markets last year and now they’ve got a tablet called the Lenovo LePad they’re on the brink of releasing. We already knew the IdeaPad U1 Android/Windows hybrid would launch in June for $999 and now we’re hearing the LePad will be priced at $400 or [...]

How many times have you wanted to transfer something like a picture, webpage, or contact information between your phone and another device only to find that the process often requires multiple steps and isn’t very quick at all. Sure, things like Chrome to Phone and apps like Bump have made the process easier, but in [...]

This Thunderbolt craze is starting to make us nauseous, but here goes: the February 21st issue of Sports Illustrated is set to roll a full-paged HTC Thunderbolt ad. It doesn’t give many details, but if we take what we know about mobile phone advertising – that the trend lately has been to go public a [...]

We’d already heard there was a white version of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play coming out, but we didn’t think anything of it. It seems not everyone will be able to get it, though, as O2 UK has announced that it has exclusive rights to carry the alternate device in that part of the world. [...]

First we just got the source code for Sprint’s Samsung EPIC 4G froyo update and official word that it’d be rolling out February 21st, and now we’ve learned that Samsung has also uploaded the source code for T-Mobile’s Samsung Vibrant. Samsung and T-Mobile had already released an update for the Vibrant through Mini Kies, but [...]

It’s been a long wait, hasn’t it? We’ve been waiting for official word from either Sprint or Samsung on the upgrade to Android 2.2 for the Samsung EPIC 4G. While today’s publishing of build EB13′s source code isn’t exactly an over the air upgrade, it tells us we’re as close as close can be. And [...]

The folks at Zynga have released a new upgrade to Words with Friends for Android. At first glance it doesn’t seem to add much, but it does add two new features that will make life easier for a number of users: the ability to disable sound and customizable notification options that allows you to set [...]

Amazon Germany has listed a bunch of phones announced at Mobile World Congress for purchase and pre-order and since many of them haven’t had pricing announced yet, we thought you’d be eager to see what they’re going for at Amazon: Xperia Play – 649 EUR ($882 USD) Xperia Arc – 599 EUR ($814 USD) Xperia [...]
