The day has arrived. Today, Google and Samsung will be making a very big announcement in Hong Kong. Beyond some obvious assumptions and minor rumors, much is still left shrouded in mystery.

Either someone spent way too much of their free time to craft a fake magazine-quality Galaxy Nexus advertisement from NTT Docomo, print it on glossy paper, and fool the masses, or we’re looking at a leaked official that gives the first real pictures and specs on today’s launch topic. Considering what docomo recently tweeted we [...]

What a sad day for RIM: on the day the world will rejoice at the announcements of Android 4.0, the Nexus Prime, and the Droid RAZR, they are peddling the Blackberry Playbook to developers by bragging about how it can run Android applications through Blackberry Packager for Android. Sounds like a great idea. While I’m [...]

It’s a feature many rooted and Sense 3.0 users take for granted. Screen capture. The ability to take a snap shot of whatever is displayed on your screen is not only fun for sharing (or boasting) but crucial for sites like FU Autocorrect.com. I can’t tell you exactly why it took Google so long to [...]

People love to share. No really — I’ve spent enough time around Facebook and Twitter to know that no matter how mundane, how miniscule or insignificant, people really love to share EVERYTHING. I’m not gonna lie — sometimes it feels good to let others know what you’ve discovered something truly great. Whether it be a [...]

Samsung wasn’t the only OEM dropping source codes today — Motorola has also stepped up to the plate and released the kernel source for the Droid Bionic.
