Besides rolling around in a pool filled with their $70 million in Angry Birds revenue, just what does Rovio “the world’s fastest growing global consumer brand ever,” plan to do with all that cash? Well, the Finnish group may be looking to get into the indie publishing business. In an interview with Develop, Rovio suggested [...]

Google Wallet has officially begun to pop up in various retailers today but even if you were using the NFC equipped Nexus S 4G you couldn’t take advantage of the convenient NFC based mobile payment system. Thankfully, Sprint and Google are on top of the situation and are now pushing out the GWK74 “Google Wallet [...]

If you’re a Samsung Galaxy Fascinate 4G user on Telus, today is your lucky day! The Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread update for the Fascinate 4G is now officially available. Unfortunately, this wont be an “over the air” update pushed to your device so you’re going to have to do some fumbling around with Samsung Kies to [...]

Another day and another slew of Google Nexus Prime rumors. This time we have Twitter user @black_man_x AKA “The Panda King” who has been long known for accurately predicting some big launches in Verizon’s past whether it be the HTC Thunderbolt or specs on the HTC Vigor (Incredible HD). He’s recently come alive once again [...]

Android Developers Blog is getting Android devs and their apps ready for the soon-to-be-announced Ice Cream Sandwich SDK with some helpful tips. Even though the ICS SDK isn’t currently available for devs, the post lists various ways a developer can get their Honeycomb apps (currently only available on tablets) ready for smartphones and smaller screen [...]

In a move that can only be described as a “shinkuu hadouken” to other Android OEM’s, LG has managed to nab exclusive rights to Capcom’s smash hit Street Fighter IV. The title will release exclusively on LG’s upcoming HD smartphone later this year. While LG didn’t mention specifically which “HD device” they were referring to, [...]

On schedule for that early launch we told you guys about back in June, details on the Meizu MX are finally leaking out. What we’re hearing is this device will launch, as previously reported, later this month with a 4.3-inch qHD screen and a quad-core Cortex A9 processor (I just got goosebumps). The device will [...]

This is an interesting story. The folks at Notion Ink have mentioned that their before-its-time Android tablet, the Adam, will be receiving Ice Cream Sandwich come November. This is especially interesting considering they spent so much time customizing Android specifically for their tablet. The underlying story here, though, is that apparently Ice Cream Sandwich will [...]

The folks at This is My Next, AKA The Verge, have apparently gotten their hands on video footage of a tablet device from Motorola running Honeycomb. This one’s shell is white and apparently looks to be 7 inches (though I see it being closer to 10 if these images alone are to be judged). Not [...]

We’re not sure if this was a mistake on Amazon’s part, but reports are suggesting that users in Europe are able to access the Amazon Appstore despite withstanding warnings on their site that the Appstore is only available in the United States. EuroDroid reports that paid apps still show up in dollars but they are [...]

Rumors started over the weekend suggesting Google would launch Google Wallet, their mobile NFC-based payments system, today. Well, it’s Monday and those who like the snoop around the coffee shops in the morning have spotted logos for the service on vendors’ PoS system. A Peets Coffee & Tee shop in San Francisco was equipped with [...]

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 will supposedly go on sale in the US this week, but we haven’t heard any official details from the ladies and gents at Best Buy. We don’t have an exact date just yet but we do at least have a price for the two WiFi-only models they’re . You’ll be [...]

So the EVO 4G is obviously heading toward its end-of-life, what with its dual-core 3D-touting younger brother coming into the fold and all. While future updates from Sprint may soon slow to a crawl, you can always count on the root community to deliver exciting new goods for you to flash (that’s if you’re rooted, [...]

Ready for Verizon’s first 4G LTE phone that costs less than $250? They’ve officially taken the wraps off of the Pantech Breakout we’ve been hearing so much about. Just as rumors suggested, this will be an affordable 4G phone coming in at $100 for those who don’t want to spend upwards of $250 for a [...]

LG’s announced a new device for those who simply can’t go without a hardware QWERTY keyboard. It’s the LG Optimus Q2, a dual-core followup to the device launched early last year. This one gets a bump in screen size for 3.5 inches to 4 inches. As I alluded to before, it also goes from having [...]

Popular electronics retailer Newegg is proving their mobile business is to be reckoned with by providing arguably the best deal for the HTC EVO 3D to date. They’re offering new subscribers $150 off of Sprint’s asking price for the phone, meaning you’ll only need to throw down $50 for it. This one isn’t for upgrading [...]

Heads up, mobile gamers – AT&T’s made available their version of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play.

It has a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, [...]

They say Samsung phones are easiest to root, and if the Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Sprint’s Galaxy S II) is anything to go by, we’d say that folktale holds up nicely. The job was done by Zedomax and the ACS. Download links and full instructions can be had at XDA and Zedomax’s new site for [...]

Google introduced the world to their new mobile payment service for smartphones aptly named, Google Wallet. While the service isn’t officially live just yet, you can hit up Google.com/wallet to signup and get notified as soon as it is. Currently, there is only one phone in the US that is actually NFC enabled to take [...]

Looks like Radio Shack may be expecting a nice little shipment of HTC Vigors in their stores come October 20th. This leaked document also shows the Samsung Stratosphere (Epic 4G) arriving on October 6th. Last we heard, the HTC Vigor could launch as the Droid Incredible HD and early leaks were showing it for an [...]
