And that other dimension would be Canada. Best Buy, Canada to be exact. One of the advertising wizards behind their weekly flyer has the HP TouchPad curiously listed as running Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Right…but the TouchPad actually runs webOS 3.0. We understand getting the 3.0 part confused, but a quick glance at the other side [...]

The HTC Evo 3D is America’s first 3D smartphone and is only available to those lucky customers on Sprint’s network. Boasting dual-cameras on its rear, it can not only take 3D photos and video but also display them on its glasses-free 3D display. The Evo 4G is barely a year old and there are a [...]

Shipments of the HTC Status have just arrived at Best Buy Mobile stores, though the phone won’t officially go on sale for another two days. We’ve already had it in-hand for a few days and provided our initial impressions, but the verdict is out on whether or not the Status is the new mayor of [...]

Add Cincinnati Bell to the list of carriers now rocking Google’s latest pure Android smartphone. The Nexus S 3G is now available for $149.99 on a two-year contract after a mail-in rebate. As its name implies, this is the standard 3G version of the Nexus S so Cincinnati Bell’s 4G HSPA+ coverage won’t be providing [...]

The folks at Google are adding traffic support for Google Maps in 13 more countries, mostly European. The list of countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain and Switzerland. Alongside live updates, Google will estimate how traffic will look in the near future based on current traffic trends. We’re [...]

Canadian Rogers fans out there have something to cheer about if they were excited about either of these devices. They’ve confirmed through their blog that both the HTC EVO 3D and the LG Optimus 3D will be available this summer and are set to take preorders sometime soon. Two great 3D devices and they’ve both [...]

One of the most powerful smallish devices has hit the FCC, keyboard and all. It’s the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro, a 2.8 inch device with a front-facing camera, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a 1GHz processor. The radios inside suggest this one is for European markets, mainly. This seems to be at least [...]

We understand Google’s need to take Yongzh’s popular game emulators off the Android market. They have since moved to SlideMe and, through the good graces of whatever higher being you believe in, made the applications free… for the most part. The N64 emulator will still run you $4, but we can’t imagine many of you [...]

In case you’ve forgotten, the Motorola DROID 3 is now available in stores after a brief period of online exclusivity. It’s a dual-core OMAP4 device with Android 2.3, the latest version of BLUR (or whatever they want to call it), 1080p video recording using an 8 megapixel sensor, a 4 inch display and an improved [...]

No, I’ve never wanted an Android robot made out of a trashcan, but this video is slowly winning me over. Someone took an old trashcan, some 7-11 slurpee lids and a crap ton of wires and made a moving Android robot with wheels. He can control the thing wirelessly using a remote and the robot [...]

Wishing to roam on AT&T, Sprint’s or someone else’s 4G LTE network now that most of the US and the world over are adopting it for next generation data speeds? Unfortunately, that won’t be possible… not yet, anyway. A Verizon spokesperson confirmed that, even if they wanted to let their customers roam on AT&T’s LTE [...]

When Google first introduced Google Music, we were treated to a vision far broader than just uploading your already-existent music collection to the cloud for playback via wireless streaming. We got a look at how life would be like if Google offered music purchasing functionality for Android users, similar to what Apple does with iTunes [...]

Things were looking up for Sony Ericsson as they looked to give their business a major uplift. In particular, unique and powerful devices sitting alongside entry-level desirables were expected to boost Sony Ericsson’s performance this quarter and slingshot them into the upper echelon of manufacturers as far as revenue and market share go. Unfortunately, that [...]

Hurrah! It’s NOT impossible to get CyanogenMod 7 on CDMA Galaxy S devices after all (in nightly form, anyway). One of the project’s maintainers for the Samsung Fascinate has tweeted that it’s “all merged in” and that we should be seeing nightlies any day (night?) now. That’s good news. It’s not there as of the [...]

It’s almost the end of the week and even though there isn’t much news here in the Android Overload, don’t for one second think that we’re not here working ’round the clock to bring you the best Android content our little hearts can muster. We have quite a few phone reviews in the works and [...]

  When we last saw the Acer Iconia Tab A501 it was packing AT&T’s 3G and pretty much the same exact specs as the it’s A500 brother. Well, it looks like Acer may be updating the A501 if this FCC Permissive Change notice is any indication. Among some smaller changes like new touch and image [...]

I’m about to drop a whole world of awesome on you guys. Chinese developed (and English translated) MIUI ROM is going through some ch-ch-ch-changes. Nothing too dramatic. You can expect the same level of polish and attention to detail that we’ve seen in the many MIUI facelifts in the past, only this time with 50% [...]

The last time we saw the LG Optimus Net it was in a handy Italian promo video showing all the in’s and out’s with the device. It looked like a pretty solid, mid-level phone and many believe it will be the replacement for LG’s popular Optimus One line. What we didn’t know is if, or [...]

Motorola announced on their Twitter a few hours ago that the much anticipated Android 3.2 update for the Xoom WiFi version is still rolling out in phases. They didn’t want to leave out all you Verizon Xoom owners and said you can expect a rollout in the coming weeks. Just how long are Motorola’s “weeks?” [...]

For all you benchmarking junkies out there that look to benchmarks as a way of proving one phone/chipset is better than another, you now have a new tool at your disposal. Say hello to Vellamo. Vellamo is a benchmarking app created by Qualcomm (same company who made the Neocore benchmark) that looks to give you [...]
