ABI just released their Q2 numbers for smartphone operating systems and OEMs. Android came out ahead, as usual (feels good to say that), with 46% of the market share in Q2’11. They have Nokia at 16% as they fail to capture mind share from users in light of more contemporary operating systems. We’re still seeking [...]

We’ve been hearing a lot of talk about this white Samsung Galaxy S II over the past couple of days. I’ve never thought a phone’s alternate color could be big news, but apparently it is. If you needed confirmation it was coming, Samsung has officially announced its existence in the form of a press release. [...]

Now that more and more folks have gotten the upgrade to the latest Android market overhaul, we’re curious as to how you are liking it? This isn’t the first time the market’s been revised and it probably isn’t the last time. In terms of design, the previous revision was flashier than the second update (remember [...]

Well, this is embarassing. Came across this post from Crackberry and in what likely gave Blackberry users a good chuckle, Google’s former CEO and current executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, was spotted snapping pics all over Asia using his favorite smartphone… THE BLACKBERRY (shaking my head). This isn’t the first time homeboy’s been spotted with the [...]

So, I’ve had quite a few Phantips alerting me of a mysterious Samsung SGH-I777 device that just passed through the FCC today. By the looks of it, this could be one of the two versions of the Samsung’s Galaxy S II phones to hit AT&T very soon. Seeing how there’s no indication of a keyboard, [...]

Came across this video today on YouTube of an internal corporate parody video shown during a Microsoft global sales conference that took place on July 20th. Looks like Microsoft is taking a few jabs at Google and poking fun at their Gmail ads and prying eyes when it comes to your inbox. I actually thought [...]

Google has been on top of their stuff lately, I’ll give them that. This time they’ve update Gmail in the Android Market to version 2.3.5 and with that, a couple of awesome new features to help keep your sanity. The first being label specific notifications, which can come in handy if you’re like me and [...]

I’ve never been one for all those 10-inch Android tablets running around these days. They don’t fit well into my skinny jeans. But this 7-inch Iconia A100 from Acer, I could definitely see myself wearing. We’ve known about this device for awhile now but a solid release date or pricing was never given. The last [...]

The long awaited Android Market for Google TV may finally be making its way to a living room near you. Judging by none other than the fact that the guys from GTVHacker managed to get Honeycomb up and running on the now $99 Logitech Revue. Quite a feat in iteself, I’m sure. But lo and [...]

The glossy white backing, the white front bezzle and that all too familiar “home” button smack in the center. Okay, maybe it’s not the most original design we’ve ever seen but pics of the fully white Galaxy S II have finally surfaced thanks to Expansys in France. This fully white version may come as a [...]

We know the Sharp FX Plus is headed to AT&T as a Walmart exclusive, and now we are getting a nice, clear look at the handset courtesy of PocketNow.

Motorola has been sending a little survey out to a select few consumers gauging response to a new (presumably Android-based) product. No, it’s not a smartphone or even a tablet, it’s a small watch-like device designed for personal fitness and music. What could potentially be branded MotoActive most closely resemble Sony Ericsson’s LiveView or the [...]

Velo, Cheetah, Skyrocket, Titan, and Raider. No, that isn’t the lineup of some new super hero alliance, it’s the most recent batch of trademark filings from HTC. The names have been registered in Europe and give us an idea of what we could potentially be calling some of the Taiwanese manufacturer’s future devices. Of coure, [...]

Dell has been working their way up the ruler over the past year or two, releasing the 5-inch Dell Streak followed by a 7-inch version of the tablet.
