Bing bang boom. You know what time it is… Its time for another great episode of Android Overload! Today there was a lot of Samsung news oddly enough. Looks like they may be one step closer to Android world domination. Since we didn’t want nothing but Samsung news dominating our front page, we had to [...]

Got a fun little Phantip a few minutes ago showing off a new Samsung device for Sprint. No word yet on the official Sprint name, but the device is being identified as the SPH-D600 which was leaked in a recent FCC filing a few weeks ago as a midlevel, 4G enabled device. Specs that can [...]

Looks like we may not see the rumored June launch of HTC’s Puccini (sounds dirty) tablet after all. Sources close to Digitimes are reporting that although the final stages of testing for the Honeycomb tablet are underway, the device wont go into full mass production until June. This could mean we wont see a launch [...]

Have you ever tried the dozen or so police radio scanner apps available on the Android Market? I know I have. Listening to all the police chatter was kind of fun (if not juvenile) and I even found out the neighbors were dealing weed. Well, thanks to Droid-Life, I’ve learned that you might want to [...]

Good apps are good. I love paying for good apps. It helps support Android app developers who, in turn, make more apps and the circle of a happy Android life continues. But you know what really grinds my gears? Bad apps. Especially when I get stuck with an app I didn’t like thanks to Google’s [...]

I’ve always thought of using Google Books as a way of passing time. Reading fictional tales of knights and sorcerers in a far off land. Never once had it crossed my mind that you could use Google Books as a reference for say, building something. Even then, I would only imagine them providing handy information [...]

If you thought Android was just for smartphones and tablets, you may want to think again. A company called Envizions just sent out a press release today of an Android based, social gaming console called the Evo 2. I’m sorry, were you expecting a 3D-less sequel to the HTC Evo? As the name suggests, there [...]

Hump Day is back! Another day, another bag of apps. Considering how effortless it is to search the Android market and download applications these days, we’ve been swimming in a sea of these apps and have no shortage of them to talk about. The ones we came across today are some of the most interesting [...]

Wondering how you can justify a device with more power than today’s netbooks (and even some notebooks)? NVIDIA’s Kal-El processor – aka Tegra 3 – is coming along nicely and developers are currently optimizing some great looking games for it. One of those games is SHADOWGUN. It was created using Unity, a multi-platform development engine [...]

[Update]: Swype has contacted us to clarify the following: Swype does not, and will not ever make money off of the data it collects from you. They do not sell ads. They do not sell information. The comment made on the CM review forum was a generalization about the larger Android app developer community, and [...]

Google has updated Maps to version 5.5, and while the features it brings with it aren’t the least bit groundbreaking, you’ll want to download it. For starters, it’s now easier to check into and rate a place in a Place page. The buttons are right beneath the other usual bits of information you’re given. Other [...]

Earlier today we announced our list of Best Android Apps and in this week’s podcast we’ll unveil the list, spend an hour discussing the apps, take calls and suggestions, and have a field day with the ins-and-outs of all the goods on Android Market. Tune in live at 7PM Eastern over at BlogTalkRadio or via [...]

Hurrah! We’ve all been clamoring for more Twitter apps – and more apps in general – for Honeycomb, and it looks like we’re due for another wave of good ones. TweetCaster is one of the most popular Twitter apps for phones. Hell, I even used the phone version of TweetCaster on my Tab 10.1 over [...]

[Update]: We’ve been duped! Well, not really, because we did initially question whether or not it could be believed. But whoever did it did a damn fine job. Let’s hope Sony Ericsson takes some cues from this concept render and adapt it to what we believe to be the first Android-powered Cyber Shot phone. [PocketNow] [...]

It started with Google I/O attendees and was shortly extended to a larger group, but not everyone has been able to get in on the Google Music Beta right away. Judging by our inbox today, however, another wave has just gone out. Folks who signed up might want to check their inboxes because a golden [...]

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 isn’t much different from other available tablets on the inside, but we think hardware makes a big difference with a device of this size. Samsung has achieved an engineering feat so impressive that I can’t imagine going with any of their competitors until they match them. Are hardware and design [...]

Well, this is just odd. The T-Mobile G2X – you know, the first dual-core smartphone with stock Android – is no longer listed on T-Mobile’s website. It’s not just out of stock – it’s downright gone. They couldn’t have discontinued the device this fast, of course. TmoNews is hearing that it may be due to [...]

We’re not sure how popular this device is amongst the masses, but if any of you who bought it were annoyed by the lack of GPS radios inside, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Well, that’s if you’re a hardware engineer with some rad soldering skills. The guy who did it was [...]

Sprint and Motorola are teaming up for a product unveil to take place on June 9th at a New York City luncheon event for members of the press and media. Whatever they are showing off must be pretty big, as both Sprint CEO Dan Hesse and Motorola Mobility Chairman and CEO Sanjay Jha will be [...]

A few months ago, Sprint announced that they were going to be offering a new tiered version of their popular Premier membership program. This caused a bit of an uproar for Sprint customers simply because it caused them to lose one of the program’s biggest perks, yearly upgrades. Originally there were 2 ways to qualify [...]
