Earlier today we received the official Samsung Galaxy Nexus announcement from Verizon the device’s availability this holiday season. While that sent some Verizon customers’ rejoicing, others were quick to point out the fact that Verizon didn’t give us a launch or pre-order date for the device (negative Nancy’s). It’s been strongly rumored for some time [...]

It’s been a long time coming but according to the data from “mobile app market intelligence firm” Research2Guidance, the Android Market seems to have hit the half a million app mark with a little over 500,000 applications published for the month of September. Another tidbit I found interesting is that over 37% of app submissions [...]

The guys over at Macberry were able to get their hands on the new BBX 2.0 developer beta for the BlackBerry Playbook. Besides the more of the same QNX UI we’re used to seeing on the tablet, we get another glimpse at Android apps running smooth as butter on the device. In the video you [...]

With Android Honeycomb we saw the introduction of USB hosting, allowing for connectivity with device like a USB hard drive or USB gamepad (like the Xbox 360 controller) on a tablet for use with games or emulators. In case there was any doubt that this would also be a feature in Ice Cream Sandwich, Romain [...]

Though some out there were intent on spreading false rumors to the contrary, Verizon Wireless has officially announced that they will carry the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

The point-of-sale systems used at restaurants, in stores, and nearly every other retail environment are about to get an Android upgrade. Casio has announced the first (correct me if I’m wrong) complete system that entrusts Android with everything from inventory to calculating correct change. The VX-100 EPOS isn’t your ordinary PoS system, however. It can [...]

HTC has provided a quick update via their Facebook page in regards to Ice Cream Sandwich coming to their devices. Essentially, the update provided no update at all as the statement repeats sentiments often put forth by PR folks when questioned on whether or not certain devices will see certain software. For those too lazy [...]

Video Editing by Gideon Dominick The HTC Rhyme mixes the high-quality design expected from a company like HTC with a touch of feminine softness to create a handset that is both gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to use. Throw in a few accessories and you get a pretty complete package. But before we [...]

With the Transformer Prime, Asus looks to take center stage in the Android tablet wares. The slate is thin, it features a quad-core CPU in the form of the NVIDIA Tegra 3, and its release is just around the corner. In fact, the tablet just scored its own product landing page over at ASUS’ website. [...]

  Verizon is pretty much a lock for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and it’s a safe bet that AT&T and T-Mobile could also receive the handset. But what about Sprint? With no WiMAX version announced and Sprint’s LTE plans not quite ironed out, most though the carrier had a slim chance of getting a piece [...]

Samsung has just gone official with the release date for their Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, the followup to their 7-inch model from last holiday season.

As rumors were flying around regarding whether or not the Motorola XOOM would be the first Android tablet to receive Android 4.0, we were just waiting on official confirmation that Motorola would look to deliver a box of Ice Cream Sandwich at all. Matt at Motorola’s support forums (a moderator who obviously has insight on [...]

We’ve gotten about as many emails as we can take at this point regarding the display on the Galaxy Nexus by Samsung. It is a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED HD display at 720p resolution using pentile matrix technology. Immediately people got their fear-mongering machines out and took to the internet regarding why the Galaxy Nexus [...]

Rovio’s published the latest update to Angry Birds Seasons. As we’re currently in the month of October, you had to expect pumpkins, ghouls, ghosts and gargoyles would be the theme here.

Sprint has announced that they’ve worked with Raketu to add Wireless Captel – a captioning service for the hard-of-hearing – to their portfolio of helpful Android applications. The application routes calls through Captel’s cellular servers to initiate the caption service. The users who use this will be able to see what their caller/called person is [...]

One drl337md from YouTube coyly posted a video showing off a Nexus One running Android 4.0. It’s an SDK port, and as such things likely aren’t all where they need to be. Despite that fact, and despite the fact that the Nexus One is considered outdated up against today’s high-end phones, the results didn’t seem [...]

Verizon has announced financial results for the third quarter for the company. They generated $27.91 billion in revenue, up from the third quarter last year and beating Wall Street’s expectations by a hair. Of that revenue, $15 billion alone was generated from Verizon Wireless. Verizon added 1.3 million connections overall to their wireless business, bringing [...]

MADFINGER Games, the studio behind a nice looking upcoming shooter called Shadow Gun, has tweeted that the game will be launched October 26th for all Tegra devices. This is unfortunate for the overall Android population, though they did mention that it would be coming to all devices a bit later (a matter of days, they [...]

Boost Mobile’s announced upcoming availability of their latest smartphone offering, the ZTE Warp. It’s a 4.3 inch Gingerbread device that sports a 1GHz single-core processor and a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash. Interface customization seems minimal, too, with the SprintID icon on the dock looking to be the extent of their changes (at first [...]

It’s been rumored for quite some time that Sprint would be switching to capped data for their mobile hotspot users (those using their phones as WiFi hotspots for other devices) but it’s now and official. And more than that, it looks like the fun (or the lack thereof) will be spreading to 4G mobile broadband [...]
