I’ve always been a sucker for infographs. Thankfully, I came across this one from the research firm Hunch where they pitted “Droid” (ewwww) vs. iOS users in an attempt to better understand the personalities of each. The results may come as surprising, or perhaps they wont. One thing is for certain, this is bound to [...]

  If you’re anything like me, you can’t get enough of MIUI. It’s polished good looks and big bright icons are impossible to get out of your head (like that hot cashier at Walmart). Only problem is, the ROM is only available on a rooted devices. Since I have yet to take that plunge, I’ve [...]

While it isn’t nearly as exciting as an upgrade to Gingerbread, the lowly Motorola FLIPSIDE for AT&T has been lifted into the good graces of Android 2.2. The update is available as a downloadable file to be flashed from a microSD card, and Moto provides full instructions over at their support site. Aside from the [...]

HTC has (literally) green-lit the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint to have its bootloader unlocked, changing its status on the HTCDev site to match that of the Euro HTC Sensation (which saw its bootloader open to unlocking last week). The news ends a long period of back and forth between Android developers and HTC as [...]

By this point, we are fairly used to luxury brands producing Android handsets here and there, though exorbitant price tags are typically meshed with specs that you might find on last year’s mid-range handsets. For all the diamonds, leather, and gold plating its hard to imagine even multi-billionaires throwing money at these devices. Enter Mabiado, [...]

Sometimes the tech industry has a way of blindsiding us. Sometimes it has a way of blindsiding us twice in the same week. Such was the case when HP announced earlier today that it would cease all of its current webOS operations, including the discontinuation of the newly launched TouchPad tablet. The news follows only [...]

From August 21st through August 27th, spending $2,000 on a new 3D HDTV from Samsung will get you bit more than 55 inches 240Hz, LED backlit viewing pleasure. Add 10.1 inches onto your total screen size, because Best Buy is throwing in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for free. That’s a $500 savings anyway you [...]

With an announcement released just moments ago, the smartphone wars have seen their latest casualty. HP is discontinuing all operations related to webOS hardware after only a year of ownership and despite recent new devices. This includes the platform’s first tablet — not that the HP TouchPad was anything to write home about. In fact, [...]

New screenshots pulled from the HTC Puccini are shedding some light on what the tablet will be called when it hits the market, specifically AT&T’s version. Sticking with the aviation-esque theme established by the Taiwanese manufacturer’s first tablet, the HTC Flyer, the 10-inch Honeycomb slate will be tagged the HTC Jetstream when found bandying about [...]

Perhaps you have heard of the Motorola Droid Bionic,Verizon’s first 4G LTE superphone. No? It’s been pretty hard to miss these past few weeks, showing up in numerous leaked photos as it nears its rumored September launch. There is really no denying that this thing is coming soon, as a newly spied Best Buy advert [...]

Industry rumblings have suggested that Google wants to get the next version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, out to handsets by October for competitive reasons. As has been the standard over the past few years, it is expected a flagship device will launch alongside the new operating system. Word out of Korea is that the [...]

Best Buy has issued a press release confirming the company will indeed begin stocking a white variant of the HTC Droid Incredible 2 for Verizon. Just as rumors indicated yesterday, the new paint job will make its debut this Sunday, August 21st, with the whitewashed DInc2 going for $149.99 after contract. The phone retains the [...]

A new study from Nielsen shows that Android users spend about an hour a day using their phone for everything but talking – 56 minutes, to be exact. Of those minutes, 67% are spent in apps while 33$ are spent inside the web browser. It’s an interesting study to consider when wondering if you should [...]

Samsung’s headed to IFA in Berlin, Germany for another Samsung Mobile Unpacked event. They’ve released the first teaser for the evening – a guy walking around with a phone that somehow glows gold through his hands. Other folks are spotted walking around with illuminated phones, as well. The only phone we can think of that [...]

Yesterday, we learned the EVO 3D would be following the Samsung Conquer 4G in getting a maintenance upgrade. It was supposedly set to arrive on the 23rd, but here we are five days early. Here’s what’s said to be changed in this update: We’ve got a fix for instances where the lockscreen gets stuck, the [...]

If you are looking to switch to AT&T soon, be warned that you won’t be able to get a minimal texting plan if you aren’t the heaviest of texters. Today, they’ve confirmed that they are axing the metered texting plans and will only offer unlimited plans – you either pay per text (which get extremely [...]

The folks at Amazon are making big noise regarding their video on-demand service this morning, boasting a library of over 100,000 movies or TV shows to rent or buy. Fascinating if you aren’t opposed to taking your business outside of the Android market. This wouldn’t be Android related at all if not for the belief [...]

When news broke Monday that Google would be acquiring Motorola Mobility, a rush of glee rushed through my body and I started imagining all the great things that would come from the acquisition. And then I read the press release. Right now, Google’s playing this with the patent angle – Motorola has 17,000 of them [...]

As always, AndroidForums.com is bursting with great conversation amongst members. One of the more interesting threads made out there today asks if Samsung should dump Apple as a customer. What with all the recent lawsuits and hostile action they’re taking against Samsung, you’d think this would be ideal. The truth is, Samsung’s business relationship with [...]

Well, isn’t this just the cluster**** of all cluster****s (use your imagination). Carrier SoftBank in Japan has introduced a “Yahoo Phone” complete with licensed branding and possibly a completely customized version of Android. Users will get preinstalled Yahoo applications and, for the cost of the phone, two free years of Yahoo Plus. Yahoo is apparently [...]
