One of my favorite childhood board and video games for Android is now available for Android. It’s The Game of Life brought to us by EA. The game is pass and play only, unfortunately, meaning the only multiplayer you’ll be able to take part in is on your couch with family and friends. I’m not [...]

Good evening, fellow Phandroids. A good day of Android news is almost always accompanied by a hefty Android Overload — today, being one of those days.

Good news today from our judicial system thanks to United States Judge Lynn Hughes who put the smackdown on a recently passed law that allowed for law enforcement to obtain location data records without a warrant or probably cause.

With Android devices becoming thinner and thinner, I’ve been left to wonder just how small a device could actually get, you know, without the screen or battery accounting for most of the volume. Well, apparently a device running Android can get small — real small. Like this USB stick from FXI called the Cotton Candy. [...]

Just a friendly reminder that music purchases are now becoming available for Android users (in the US) via the Market app. The version of the Android Market actually remains the same as this functionality was actually hidden inside the most recent update the entire time.

As much as I love gaming, I’d have to say that it can sometimes be a pretty painful task on my smartphone. Say what you will about virtual d-pads, analog sticks or buttons — they just ain’t right. Try throwing a hadouken or making a head shot and you’ll soon learn it’s damn near impossible [...]

For one reason or another, Zagat – the premier restaurant ratings service – has dropped its wallet-hurting (in the world of mobile, anyway) $10 price tag for its Android application. Why?

Galaxy Nexus, please!” That’s what races through my mind every time we inch closer to a new Nexus announcement.

With emphasis on combining the phone and tablet OS into one, we were [...]

Hardware repair service iSuppli have done one of their traditional teardowns on the Amazon Kindle Fire, a $200 device.
