It looks like current EVO owners looking to upgrade to Sprint’s latest and greatest Android offering will find some help at Radio Shack who are offering a pretty darn good deal on the phone. Considering its impressive specs, $199.99 on a 2-year contract and $499.99 off-contract is a deal that stands out, even without 3D [...]

If ever a food item could provoke food fights it has to be these Angry Birds Cupcakes, custom created by the wife of Phandroid reader Khoa Ngo: Pretty cute indeed.

Finally, something the non-rooted community can hold over its super-user counterpart. Google has decided to block users, with rooted devices, from accessing the Google Movies service. Users with rooted devices are greeted with a rage-inducing “Failed to fetch license…” error whenever they try to load a movie for viewing. Google has come out and flatly [...]

If you’ve been keeping up with Android news and release dates, you would know that the release of the Sony Xperia Play for Verizon is fast approaching us (May 26th to be exact). While attending Google I/O last week I was actually one of the lucky few who walked away with an Xperia Play. Since [...]

I know you’ve been seeing these posts all week about Asus’ elusive Transformer tablet going on sale at various stores around the net, only for the post to be updated with “Sold Out” before we can even publish. Well, looks like Best Buy may have received more than 4 units of this hot ticket item. [...]

Yup. You just heard right, folks. I received a Phantip from a reader today that almost like magic, his AT&T HTC Inspire 4G was all of a sudden allowed to download and install third party apps. I tried to dig a little deeper and find out if there was an OTA update that was pushed [...]

It’s time for another edition of Apps of the Day, covering what’s hot and new in the Android Market. Just a few apps eking their way in before the weekend, but you’ll want to check them out. Nano Panda comes highly recommended, but don’t take our word for it. Actually take our word for it, [...]

They usually get sifted out here in our Android Overload column, and sure enough you’ll find even more news, news, news below. Don’t read ‘em all in one sitting. The [...]

We’ve seen dancing Androids before, make no mistake, but this latest bit of bee-boppin’ goodness is rather unique. This isn’t a man in a suit. It’s a full-fledged remote control robot programmed to groove and ready to roll. Even better the dancing bot is controlled from an app on the Motorola XOOM. Even better than [...]

Fans of NaturalMotionGames’ Backbreaker Football are in for a treat. Backbreaker 2: Vengeance has just hit the Android Market, and along with it comes new features, the most notable of which is the ability to outright tackle opponents, rather than simply avoid them.

Along with the great 3D graphics today’s smartphone processor afford comes enhanced physics as well, and what better way to demonstrate the two in tandem than the freshly released Jenga.

In striving to maintain consistency across platforms, the Google team has overhauled Maps for mobile browsers, bringing it more in sync with the experience we have come to expect from the desktop version.

Revealed at the event were some upcoming accessories for the new Android Honeycomb slate, including a look at a keyboard [...]

When I say the words “app” and “store” together, what is the first thing that comes to mind? If you said a store in which one buys apps, you’re wrong according to Apple. In a recent response to an Amazon counterclaim that Apple has no right to sue over their use of the term “app [...]

Yes, I know I promised these would go down every Friday. But last Friday was different. We were hot off the heels of Google I/O and there was a crap ton of stuff to do. (You can find all of our coverage link the wrap-up post here, by the way.) But it’s another Friday and [...]

The DROID X2 is out, folks. While we don’t imagine any of you will need help operating it once you get it in your hands, Verizon’s posted a series of how-to videos in case you need to be brought up to speed on something. There isn’t anything exciting here, to be honest, but those who [...]
