Ah, yes. One of my favorite console shooters, Bad Company 2, is now available on mobile. Unfortunately, it’s only on one mobile – the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.

Although this one’s been available in the Amazon Appstore for a bit less than a week now, many of you prefer to get these goods from the Android market.

While Virgin Mobile decided to jump the gun and start selling theirs a bit early, both them and Bell are now officially offering the Samsung Galaxy S II (4G) in Canada.

If you think $4.00 is too rich for your blood for an alternative keyboard, this post is for you (if you live in the United States, anyway) – SwiftKey X is now free for an entire day. That should be more than enough time to pick up what many consider the absolute best keyboard available [...]

Good evening, ladies and gents. I have an interesting Android Overload for you today. This is the place for the stories that, for one reason or another, couldn’t make the front page of our site but didn’t deserve to fade away into the abyss of the net. I found a few good Google related stories [...]

About a year ago, Oracle filed a lawsuit against Google alleging that their world famous Android OS violated 7 of Oracles Java related patents.

In case you needed another bitter reminder that pretty much everyone in the known world will have the Samsung Galaxy S II but us here in the states. Canadian based SaskTel let the world know via Twitter that Sammy’s flagship device will be available from them starting this Friday. Good for them (sarcasm). I know [...]

Get those thumbs ready! Seems like it was only yesterday when the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play launched on Verizon and even at $200, it was a great deal for some Android on-the-go gaming. I was completely smitten with the device in my review but if the full d-pad, analog pads and L &R shoulder buttons [...]

How does $300 for the revamped and much delayed Motorola DROID BIONIC sound to you? Well, if this “leaked” DroidDoes webpage brought to you from our friends over at Android Central is indeed true (UPDATE: turned out to be a fake photoshopped image), you could be spending a pretty penny for this device. Even in [...]

The Wildfire S has been available for awhile now in Europe and was recently leaked as the HTC Marvel for us here in the states. It’s been rumored to hit T-Mobile ever since the FCC filing and now, in an unexpected (but refreshing) twist, T-Mobile has decided to keep with the Wildfire S name. TmoNews [...]

Two weeks before the release of the Evo 3D, Best Buy had the official HTC dock for the device listed in their coming soon section on their site. You may have wondered just what the heck happened seeing how we’re a month into the phone’s release. Well, if you were looking to get your hands [...]

In case you thought this whole “3D thang” was going fade out, it might be later instead of sooner. Today, Hitachi showed off a new type of 3D display for smartphones, this time with a 1280×720 resolution. The IPS display measures in at about 4.5-inches and is using some kind of new lenticular lens approach [...]

One app is inappropriate and the other hides inappropriate things. Gosh, we’re so darn good at matching up the perfect apps for apps of the day. In all seriousness, there’s a lot of good to be had between these two .APK files and you owe it to yourself to check them out for yourself (especially [...]

The senator of the best state in the country – Wisconsin – has called out against AT&T and T-Mobile’s (say that 5 times fast) proposed merger. Herb Kohl, being the chairman of the US Senate Antitrust Subcommittee, made his case to the FCC in the form of a formal request to block it. Given his [...]

Your device still not listed alongside the growing list of Netflix-capable phones?

Our friend at Google have just posted on their blog that Google Labs is “winding down”, meaning they won’t be launching tons of cool apps and products left and right as they have been doing for oh so long.
