In a report that is sure to incite some  a bit of fanboyism on all ends, JD Power & Associates have unveiled their yearly smartphone rankings, and news could be better for Android. Apple and their iPhone hold the number one spot for the fifth consecutive year, though Motorola and HTC trail  by only a [...]

When it comes to app download figures, 56,000 may not seem like much. When each download is coupled with an OnStar compatible vehicle, the number seems a bit more significant.

It’s been a long time since we’ve revisited the rumor about an Android-based Amazon Kindle. Those rumors were rekindled after we learned Amazon would be opening their own application store for Android, but nothing substantial has come up since.

AT&T’s bringing the banhammer down on unauthorized tethering, it seems, after they discovered users on iPhone and iPhone 2 sharing their data connection using an application called MyWi.

Toshiba’s Android tablet – while officially acknowledged by the company – has been a bit of a ninja since it was teased earlier this year.

We’re not too surprised that this stuff happens so quickly anymore, but just a day after its launch the HTC Thunderbolt has gotten permanent root.
