Earlier today, Dan Morrill of the Android Team posted a message to the Android Building Google group updating the status of code availability due to recent server downtime. Buried towards the bottom of that post come hopeful words for those still fuming over Google’s neglect in releasing the full Honeycomb source. “We plan to release [...]

The moderators of Samsung’s official Facebook page seem to be confirming that Verizon will indeed be among the first wave of carriers to receive the Galaxy Nexus. While everything short of an official press release has still failed to convince some that Verizon will carry the device, we’d say there is enough evidence to suggest [...]

Google Wallet has gained its first transit partner, an area of commerce the tech giant sees as vital to the adoption of the technology by the masses. As Google’s Stephanie Tilenius points out, transit has laid the groundwork for NFC in many regions around the globe, and it makes perfect sense. If there is any [...]

A big concern surrounding recent device releases by Samsung comes in the form of ongoing patent disputes with Apple. One more than one occasion, in more than one country, Apple has requested the band of Samsung’s recent product lineup due to claims of patent infringement, both in design and software. Samsung is hoping to avoid [...]

Gone are the days of shoehorning Netflix onto rooted Android Honeycomb tablets. The official app has been updated to include support for all Android 3.0+ devices. Unfortunately, the look of the app hasn’t quite been customized for the tablet experience, namely the overall video quality. Hopefully Netflix will put some work in to get things [...]

With a release date still up in the air, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus has gone up for pre-order over at Amazon. The Galaxy Tab Plus is a revival of the companies first Galaxy Tab product featuring specs updated for the Honeycomb era (let’s forget for the moment how the Honeycomb era just ended). [...]

Though it might not be the latest thing out of HTC, US Cellular continues to add to their Android lineup with the release of the Wildfire S. Available for free after a $100 mail-in rebate, the HTC Wildfire S can be purchased online today and in stores October 21st. For new subscribers, US Cellular will [...]

At last night’s (or was it this morning’s?) Ice Cream Sandwich/ Galaxy Nexus unveil, the Android team showed off some pretty impressive time-lapse photography. The results were simply to good to be achieved by simply holding the phone and snapping away. Thanks to a Google+ post by Romain Guy, a Google engineer who played a [...]

Andy Rubin has been rather chatty during his visit to the AsiaD conference. The latest tidbit to come from his mouth gives us an idea of just how many Android tablets are running around in the wild. The figure? Six million. Looking back to last week, develop Al Sutton crunched numbers from Google’s earnings call [...]

The CyanogenMod team has mentioned that they will not be starting work on CyanogenMod 9 – the Ice Cream Sandwich release – until Google releases the AOSP source code that we all expect them to. I say “shocker” because they’ve always operated this way. They don’t like half-baked ports from the SDK. AOSP makes it [...]

Answer: Pretty darn good. The folks over at This Is My Next (or The Verge, or whatever they are calling themselves these days) were tooling around in the Ice Cream Sandwich SDK where they found they could emulate the screen size of their choosing. Shifting to 10-inches brings about an interface that is decidedly Honeycomb-esque [...]

Our friends at Dolphin have updated their Android browser to version 7.0. The biggest change is Dolphin Connect, a feature that’ll allow you to sync bookmarks, gestures and preferences to the cloud. With this, you can switch ROMs or phones without having to set all of your browsing needs up again. New changes also include [...]

Looks like we’ve gotten our first official peak at the ASUS Transformer 2. ASUS posted a teaser video showing off “the next transformation” of their tablet series. It very much is a teaser as they didn’t show much, but right away we can see that it’s extremely thin and will have a detachable keyboard dock [...]

Though Google could have very well surprised us with the announcement of an MP3 store alongside their flashy new OS, Ice Cream Sandwich, we did not see the long-rumored digital media hub’s debut. Catching up with Andy Rubin at the AsiaD conference, the Google exec flat-out confirmed new rumors that the launch of such a [...]

Motorola has confirmed that their latest smartphone – the Motorola Droid RAZR (or just Motorola RAZR in other parts of the world) – will be getting the latest version of Android. Ice Cream Sandwich is slated to land for the device in Early 2012, though considering Motorola’s history with updates we won’t make any preconceived [...]

Our friends at Clove UK have done it again, pricing the Galaxy Nexus far ahead of any other carrier or retailer. They’re going to be shipping the phone in early November for £514.80 incl. VAT. This is the price for the 16GB version. Unfortunately, the 32GB version doesn’t look to be headed to those parts [...]

We’ve been hearing about this phone for quite some time, but Sprint has officially announced the HTC EVO Design 4G. It’s set up to be a mid-range handset but will be about as decent as any of them. You’re getting a 4 inch qHD device with Android 2.3, HTC Sense, a 1.2GHz processor, a 5 [...]

It’s tough to only have half of an hour with a device yet try to develop unbreakable opinions. However, with the short time I spent with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I’ve come to some pretty confident (and personal) conclusions about both the device itself and the brand new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich platform on [...]

Oh, boy – nothing like a little Wednesday morning drama. Microsoft CEO once again made statements regarding Android that make him look more foolish than he knows. Speaking at a Web 2.0 conference in the UK, Ballmer likened knowledge of using Android to knowledge of rocket science, stating “you don’t need to be a computer [...]

Last night, Google posted the full video of the unveiling and demoing of the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich that they streamed live to excited users last night. The stream was absolutely horrible, to tell you the truth, but the quality is a bit better here. If you haven’t seen it and would like [...]
