We’re going through the big, red motions again as more and more evidence continues to build up surrounding yet another high profile device launch. The Incredible 2 is the culprit again and this time it seems Verizon accidentally outed it on their own site. We’ve long known this thing to exist, of course, but you [...]

Looks like Toshiba’s gearing up to launch their Android tablet as Newegg has outed prices for three different configurations – 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB offerings. Those come out to be $450, $500 and $580, respectively. And the model numbers of these devices suggest Toshiba could have settled on a name – ANT – but we [...]

Wondering if his beloved MyTouch 4G would ever get an upgrade to Android 2.3, a reader of TmoNews‘ contacted HTC to pull the answer from deep within.

Samsung yet again has proven that they have no problems updating their phones, contrary to popular belief. The upgrade to Android 2.3 for the Samsung Galaxy S is now rolling out for certain European users.

Well isn’t this just a reassuring rumor? Supercurio – an Android developer – claims to have spoken with an inside source at Samsung who told him that the company will not use encrypted and locked bootloaders unless Google requires them to. Samsung has always approached Android with an open mindset and I’m glad to hear [...]

We imagine this one won’t be met with much fanfare, but here it goes anyway: the Kyocera Echo is now officially available from Sprint.

Lots and lots of DROID Incredible 2 stuff today. Firstly: an internal document confirms the April 28th launch date we’ve heard rumored before. Previously, we saw it in a leaked Verizon roadmap that was sent to us. Later on, another internal document backed the roadmap. And now another internal document is showing the same date. [...]

For those of you who find Google’s ad targeting a little on the creepy side of life, there may be light at the end of your tunnel. Google will now allow users to opt out of all that targeted advertising that comes from AdMob and Google through the Market settings. While it’s a great gesture [...]

With T-Mobile throwing a party for the T-Mobile G-Slate on April 20th, the date is looking pretty likely for the official public launch of the Honeycomb tablet from LG.

Yesterday, many Android users were shocked to discover that the mobile version of Skype contained some pretty serious security flaws making users’ personal information vulnerable to a simple hack. Skype is making no denials, taking responsibility and admitting that a serious security flaw was coded into the application. The company offered no immediate solution to [...]

Those holding out hope for Google Music may never get a taste of what the service set out to be.

Uh-oh. Google’s looking at yet another anti-trust lawsuit. We’ve all been here before so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. There are concerns about their lack of search options in Android. As it stands, there is no easy way for a user to change which search engine they want to use whenever they [...]

Uh-oh. If this report from DigiTimes is accurate then it would appear that manufacturers are acting hesitant in putting their Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets on the market. They cite the Motorola XOOM’s expected poor sales and a lack of a compelling software ecosystem. (Honeycomb launched with under 20 tablet-specific apps.) Even ASUS – who was [...]

Just hours after the Samsung Fascinate’s Froyo source has been uploaded, it’s been discovered that the DROID Charge’s source code is sitting cozily on Samsung’s open source resource center. Looks like the software’s just about final. With news that training on the device has just started it seems like all the pieces for a late [...]

We knew developers would be quick to get the HTC Sensation’s test ROM ported to other HTC phones and it looks like the HTC Desire HD got the honors. Can’t say things are terribly stable at this point (especially considering I don’t have a phone to test it on), but if you want to take [...]

Looks like Verizon’s bringing their employees up to speed on their second 4G LTE device, the Samsung DROID Charge. Verizon has yet to officially name it, but the evidence is too strong to deny that’s what it’ll be called. From what we could tell in multiple hands-on opportunities, this is simply a Samsung Galaxy S [...]
