Just as the HTC Thunderbolt has been launched, TeleNav has announced that their turn-by-turn navigation application is free for all big red customers to download. Folks on other carriers need not fret as you likely already have some form of TeleNav preinstalled on your device. (If you haven’t rooted and flashed a custom ROM, that [...]

A new rumor has surfaced from DigiTimes reporting ASUS is looking to evolve their netbook game in 2011 with either Chrome OS or – our precious – Android. It’ll be on the affordable side with pricing expected to sit anywhere between $200 and $250. They’re claiming it’ll be a 1o or 11 inch netbook. ASUS [...]

The HTC Thunderbolt isn’t the only phone that’s been launched today. Up above us, our Canadian friends are able to scoop Bell’s Motorola ATRIX up today for $169.95 after  a 3-year contract agreement. (Other prices from off-contract to two years include $599.95, $574.95, and $549.95.) It’s not at all different from the Motorola ATRIX 4G [...]

Our attention has just been diverted to a new game in the Android market called Hungry MonstR. It’s a new title from Blowfish Studios and its premise makes it sound like a unique “defense” game: there’s an ice cream cone that some weird looking monsters want, and your job is to keep them away from [...]

The HTC Thunderbolt is now available for purchase – buy it from Amazon for $179 or from Verizon for $249 (link coming soon)! After two months of waiting and grinding our teeth until we have none, Verizon has launched their very first 4G LTE smartphone. You can grab it from Verizon for $249.99 after a [...]

Costco is one of several carriers said to be officially launching the Wi-Fi-only model of the Motorola XOOM. They’re now offering a presale opportunity for the device at their website. For $589.99 – $10 less than the base price – you can have this thing shipped to you starting April 1st. That last bit is [...]

A juicy rumor originating from TmoNews has come out suggesting both the T-Mobile G2X and the T-Mobile G-Slate tablet by LG will be out on April 20th. The announcement is expected to be made at CTIA in Orlando this upcoming Monday. The T-Mobile G2x is T-Mobile’s version of the LG Optimus 2X and although the [...]

Verizon Wireless was supposedly sending the HTC Thunderbolt live at 12AM Eastern and a faithful line of virtual gatherers has been completely disappointed. Not only has Verizon STILL not put the Thunderbolt up for sale, but Amazon.com offered it for $179.99, users bought it like hotcakes, and now it is backordered. Do you care? Are [...]

The Thunderbolt is just hours away from being available at several outlets. One of their big talking points to get folks to buy the phone was Skype video chat. All of us non-Verizon folks were jealous as they and Skype have a partnership – you’d be the only bunch of people to be able to [...]

Like the HTC Flyer, LG’s G-Slate headed for T-Mobile is another one of those devices that we haven’t had the pleasure of spending a whole lot of time with. The Official LG Girl, as she’s called, has uploaded nearly 3 minutes of footage and a “mini review”, if you will. She does a pretty good job [...]

It’s been a bit quiet in the Android world today, but we managed to scrape some leftovers from the big green pot. The list is rather short so be sure to take a quick glance and let us know if you find something you like. The LG Optimus Me P350 has launched in Germany, coming [...]

If you were planning on buying the HTC Thunderbolt off contract, you may want to take a look at a new plan option that Android Central has uncovered. Should you buy an LTE smartphone without a two-year contract and don’t want to use the phone part of the phone, you can get a data-only plan [...]

Although Sprint never denied they’d be moving to an LTE network (they didn’t rule the move out, actually), we were victims of a quick scare when they stated their plans going forward would still involve Clearwire; they are maintainers of the WiMax network Sprint uses to deliver 4G speeds to their subscribers. People seemed to [...]

Sprint’s iDEN network is being shutdown by 2013 but the carrier won’t be leaving those customers in the dark. They have announced plans to debut new push-to-talk devices on their current CDMA network, a technology they will call Sprint Direct Connect. They’re touting faster and more reliable mobile internet, triple the square-mile reach of the [...]

In case you were wondering, the new Sidekick 4G announced yesterday will launch with mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and USB tethering options. It wasn’t mentioned in the press release T-Mobile issued, but the folks at Samsung have confirmed with us that the phone would be launching with these features. We’re not totally surprised as most of [...]

We haven’t seen a whole lot of what Rovio will have to offer with Angry Birds Rio, so we were pleased to see this video that came out of the South by Southwest event in Austin, Texas demoing the game on an Android tablet. Rovio’s boasting improved visuals, a change in premise to fit the [...]

Ever wondered what happened to those Androids that were launched into space? It seems one of them has returned, and by either sheer coincidence or on purpose, it landed on someone’s nice car. How rude, right? What really happened was retailer The Phone House in Amsterdam pulled off a pretty clever (and expensive) publicity stunt. [...]

It’s the middle of March and Google has updated their platform versions chart. First thing’s first: a majority of Android users are on Android 2.2 or higher. As more devices are upgraded and launched with Froyo, we expected this would happen eventually. We can’t help but think that number could be even higher if all [...]

We’d long known of Samsung’s plans to introduce an iPod Touch competitor – the Samsung Galaxy Player – to market, but they didn’t have anything official to show until CES where the 4-inch version for Korea was on hand. At Mobile World Congress, we were treated to a look at a 5 inch version that [...]

Retailer Clove has announced that the HTC Flyer is now available for pre-order over in the United Kingdom. The base price looks to be £600, but they’re offering it for £500 starting out. (It’s worthy to note that Clove could change the price as the launch date nears.) Speaking of that launch date, though, they’re confirming it’ll [...]
