Looks like Foxconn will be the manufacturer of choice for Amazon’s upcoming 10.1-inch Android tablet. Currently, Foxconn is the manufacturer behind Amazon’s widely popular Kindle e-readers. According to Digitimes, the tablet is expected to ship in 2012 and while that launch date may seem like a little late in the game, perhaps it has something [...]

Yesterday we posted a little something our awesome readers came across on the Sprint website. Apparently, Sprint had the Samsung EPIC 4G listed as shipping with Android 2.3 (and Sprint ID, what?). If you’re an Epic user, you were either confused, excited or angry that Gingerbread was being made available on the device. If you [...]

Found this little nugget of a coupon to save $50 off any tablet at Staples! Pretty good chunk of change, if you ask me. The in-store coupon is only good until the 16th (Saturday) so if you were planning on buying say… a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, you might jump on that. Oh, I should [...]

Well, guys. It was a good run. According to this leaked internal memo to Sprint employees, it looks like Sprint could be doing away with one of the best marketing ideas I’ve seen from a carrier in a long time — the end of mail-in rebates. The change is scheduled for July 24th, it looks [...]

  Today Larry Page announced that the Android Market now hosts a quarter of a million applications. That’s 250,000 apps for Android users to scour through in hopes of picking out a few gems. Here at Phandroid, we make it our duty to help you find the apps that matter (and some that don’t). Today’s [...]

Spotify just launched their popular streaming music service in the US today, but for the time being it is reserved to those with an invite or with the money to cough up for a premium subscription. Various backdoor tricks have been uncovered to gain access to Spotify’s music streams without either of the two previously [...]

Google’s Larry Page met with investors today to discuss Google’s Q2 earnings, reporting a whopping $9.02 in revenue and $2.51 billion in net income, up from $1.84 billion for the same period last year. While those figures are quite astounding alone, Page also dropped a the latest Android activations number. The platform now sees 550,000 [...]

Google+ is merely a week old, but its quickly growing into a social networking behemoth with over 10 million users registered in less than two weeks, according to Google big wig Larry Page. Many of those users who access Google+ via their Android smartphones should be happy to know that the mobile app has just [...]

The FCC has given the once-over to the LG MS910, a handset called Bryce and headed for MetroPCS. We got our first look at the upcoming phone earlier this week when it was revealed that the device would be a rebranded LG Revolution headed for the regional service provider. It cuts back the internal storage [...]

It’s no secret that Motorola is already working on their followup to the Motorola XOOM. Some have been referring to it as the XOOM 2, others insist it will be the XOOM 4G, but no matter what you want to call it no one quite knows any solid details on the device that hopes to [...]

A mid-range handset running Android 2.3 is headed to MetroPCS courtesy of Samsung. The phone is known by model number SCH-R720, but should launch under the Samsung Admire name. The handset is said to house an 800MHz processor and 3.2MP camera, though it won’t be in the good graces of MetroPCS’ 4G LTE network. This [...]

Like many locations outside the US, Canada will be getting its very own version of the handset known stateside as the Motorola DROID 3 under the rather inconspicuous title Motorola XT860 4G. Why Motorola has decided to ditch the Milestone tag for the Canadian release is a mystery, but the details of the phone are [...]

Yeah, that’s right. I called it a classic…and why not? It is pretty much an unspoken truth that original Motorola Droid has come about as far as it can. Those still using the handset (myself included) can hold out hope all they want, but it is unlikely we will ever see an official Gingerbread build [...]

Sony Ericsson has been hyping up the release of Minecraft for their Xperia Play almost since we heard the game would make its way to Android. It was later revealed that the game would be released exclusively for the gaming handset, with Sony Ericsson even hosting a Minecraft-themed party at this year’s E3 and a [...]

Netflix’s recent plan changes have you bummed? The folks at Hulu, instead of increasing prices, are adding devices. Yes, that rhyme was awesome. Today, four new Android devices were added to the stable of Hulu Plus-capable players. These include the HTC EVO 4G, the T-Mobile G2, The T-Mobile myTouch 4G and the HTC Thunderbolt. All [...]

That silly Zagg, leaking yet another unannounced handset. This time, it’s a midrange device that goes by the name Samsung Escape. Nothing is known about it at all – not even a carrier can be determined. We think the screen could be 3.2 inches in size, but that’s literally all we’ve got. We’ll keep an [...]

Earlier today, Spotify opened up their service to everyone in the United States. An Android application is available for those who opted for the $10 unlimited service. However, in related news, Spotify is also available for Sonos users. You can access your account on your Sonos player and control the music throughout your house with [...]

It looks like the Desire Z is ready for some Gingerbread. Folks have started seeing notifications of an incoming major upgrade and, sure enough, HTC’s confirmed that this is Gingerbread. For now, we’re only hearing reports of its arrival on German handsets but other regions should have it before too long. This comes just days [...]

In case you’ve forgotten, the Motorola DROID 3 is now available in stores. It’s a dual-core device powered by Texas Instruments’ OMAP4 platform. Android 2.3 dons this thing with the absolute latest version of MOTOWHATEVER. You’ll also get a 4 inch display, a full 5-row slide-out QWERTY keyboard and an 8 megapixel camera on the [...]

If you’re in the market for Sprint’s upcoming dual-core Motorola Photon 4G, which is now set to come out July 31st, you’ll want to take a look at some of your buying options. One of those options is Walmart, who is offering the device on presales for $160 after singing a two-year agreement. This is [...]
