Android red alert! We’ve just been notified that some changes have been made to the tech specs on the official Galaxy Nexus page. Originally, Google was listing the Verizon version of the Nexus (LTE/CDMA) as having “16GB/32GB” internal storage space but in a rather unsettling turn of events, the 32GB version has been removed with [...]

There’s a little open source project going on called Android-x86 that aims to get Android up and running on your laptop or desktop PC. The results so far? Almost fully functional builds of Android 3.2 Honeycomb booting on a various netbooks and laptops. The process involves downloading the Android ISO then using UNetbootin to install [...]

In case you wanted a little more bang for your battery on an upcoming Nvidia Tegra 3 device, a new little nugget of information regarding Nvidia’s quad-core, Tegra 3 processor was revealed yesterday during the UBS Global Technology and Services Conference. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun took the stage talk about a new technology Nvidia is calling [...]

Catch — my personal favorite note taking app — has been updated in the Android Market, finally adding the option of shared folders or “Streams,” allowing for users to team up on note collaborations (a hot feature in note taking apps these days). The difference between Catch and “the other guys?” Catch emphasizes a clean, [...]

Of all the things I’ve seen the Android’s ADK pull off, I’d have to say – I never saw this one coming. Say hello to the Android powered iZac (the looooooove booooat) looking to automate the jobs of bartenders everywhere. This robotic bartender is able to mix cocktails chosen on the included Android tablet using [...]

One (very) lucky Galaxy Nexus owner was surprised today when he found neither hide nor hair of Adobe’s Flash player on his device. And that’s not all — when he jumped onto the Android Market looking to download the Flash player app, it was completely absent. So what’s the deal? Well, an app like the [...]

Smartphones are becoming most people’s go-to camera, but sometimes a handset’s screen — even if it measure in excess of 5 inches — just doesn’t cut it for enjoying and sharing your favorite shots. Some devices come with HDMI outputs and many feature DLNA compatibility for streaming media to compliant television sets, but Sony Ericsson [...]

  November 17th? Nope. November 21st? Nope. Anytime before Black Friday. No again. In a rare instance, a Samsung Galaxy Nexus release rumor comes accompanied by actual evidence to support the claims. Those hoping for this phone next week turn away now. A new leak claims the Galaxy Nexus is now scheduled for launch on [...]

Verizon has a lot of new handsets for the holiday season, one of which would surely slip through the cracks if it wasn’t for its bold color scheme. Yes, Verizon is doing a second push for the HTC Droid Incredible 2, and this time the thing is slathered in red. The look reminds us of [...]

The Woz may have helped to start the behemoth that is now Apple, but now he has crossed behind enemy lines to pick up his very own Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Wozniak stopped over at the Google campus today where he received the GNex and a t-shirt. The pictures of the event, which show him in [...]

When we first caught wind of the rumors, we questioned whether or not Motorola and Verizon would choose to brand the new XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition under a different name. With the first XOOM launching as a Verizon exclusive, it seemed logical the name would stay around. Instead, not only will the [...]

Yep. Despite Verizon’s seeming inability to announce a release date for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, as reported previously accessories are easily accessible at their retail locations. Heck, they will even sell you them. You just can’t have the actual phone. Seen here is a silicone case ($18.74) and a pack of screen protectors ($9.74) purchased at [...]

UPDATE: According to one developer responding to Android Central‘s initial report, the 48 hour refund window may have been misinterpreted. The text of the distribution agreement still maintains the 15 minute time frame for a user to request a refund. The 48-hour period apparently refers to the amount of time Google has to actually replace the [...]

There may be no indication of when the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will come to the United States, but at least one North American country has had a bit more transparency in the lead-up to the first Android 4.0 smartphone’s release. Canada will see the Galaxy Nexus sometime in early December, but pre-orders will be taken [...]

Motorola has filed a suit in a German court claiming elements of Apple’s iCloud service infringe upon patents held by company. Namely, the patents concern email and data sync between Apple’s cloud service and their mobile devices. The judge presiding over the case has not come to any ruling for the moment, but seems to [...]

Just days after Google released the source code for Android 4.0, developers have already managed to compile some semblance of a working ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S II. This isn’t the first taste of Ice Cream Sandwich the GSII has received. A previous build was shoehorned onto the device courtesy of the SDK preview [...]

If you’ve been contacted to test an upgrade for the Motorola DROID and you happened to jump up and down for joy in hopes of an official Gingerbread update or – as silly as it may sound – Ice Cream Sandwich, you can calm down. The device is receiving a series of OTA upgrades but [...]

Google has been awarded a couple of patents you may like. First is the pattern-based unlock screen where users can draw a custom pattern to get to their homescreen. This light security feature has been in Android for a long time and it’s good to see that Google is protecting it. More interesting than that are [...]

Sprint has announced a new Android phone called the Express. It’s an Android 2.3 device that has a 2.6 inch touchscreen but also has a portrait exposed QWERTY backlit keyboard beneath that. Call end and send buttons, buttons for home, menu, back and search all grace the front of the device. There also seems to [...]

If you were worried that Verizon might put all their usual software on the Galaxy Nexus – V Cast, VZ Navigator and the like – here is some news for you. Recent screenshots have suggested that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus will come with two preinstalled applications. VZ Backup Assistant and My Verizon Mobile. Doesn’t seem [...]
