Our inbox is chock full of excited little DROID X owners who, upon checking the Android market, were surprised to see that Netflix is now officially available for their devices.

Forgive me for reviewing yet another Amazon AppStore exclusive, but it’s too good, and at one point, was free. It’s Glow Hockey 2, a sequel to what many consider the absolute best air hockey game yet. The sequel certainly is beautiful, but is it just as good? Premise Air Hockey. ‘Nuff said. Gameplay I think [...]

NOTE: You could win $1,200+ of SONOS in our Epic Droid Dad Contest! I have no hesitation in calling SONOS the ultimate music experience. Five years ago I lost my entire music collection.

According to Clove, the Motorola Milestone 3, which we saw so gratuitously leaked earlier this week, will not make its way to the UK.

We aren’t exactly sure what has changed since yesterday’s statement that the HTC Desire couldn’t handle an update to Gingerbread, but the handset’s manufacturer has updated their UK Facebook page yet again, and changed their story in the process.

T-Mobile promised to release the HTC Sensation 4G “by June 15th,” and with stores stock ready to roll today is the day the blazing-fast dual-core handset becomes available.

After total sales dropped by 29.2 percent last month, Acer has re-evaluated their tablet plans for the year with a 60 percent decrease in proposed shipments.

Even if you don’t have a Motorola Droid X, most people involved in the Android modding scene already know their reputation of being locked down so tight — even Motorola can’t crack them.

I came across this little graphic the other day and all I could think was, “So true!” If it’s one thing I love in Android, it’s the community.
