The way it works is different than you might think. Rather than keep water [...]

Alright, so Adobe is giving up on Flash for mobile devices. But let’s not forget, there’s still a great many other things the company is good at. Take their entire suite of touch apps that are finally available for Android. We told you guys about them a few weeks ago and these six apps are [...]

Remember when we told you guys about the deal HTC made with Dropbox for 3GB’s of bonus storage?

We told you guys earlier today that some Galaxy Tab 10.1 (WiFi) owners had been receiving their Android 3.2 update for the device and — as so often is the story with Android updates — it broke some things.

We’re getting reports from HTC Droid Incredible users that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is finally available for their device — again.

Cruisin’ around Reddit, helpin’ the Android n00bs, I came across a interesting post from someone who had some quality hands-on-time with the Galaxy Nexus. To sum it up, after the Redditor was done tinkering with the device, they asked the owner (who apparently works for Samsung) when the device would hit the streets and they [...]

A video of the world’s largest Android tablet it making its rounds across the web. Now, this isn’t the modded 22-inch Android “tablet” we showed you guys a few months back — no, sir.

Some great news, folks. Remember when I said to take Notion Ink’s word with a grain of salt regarding Ice Cream Sandwich’s release date?

So of all the great Android-related toys, apparel and accessories out there, there is one that we didn’t think we’d ever see but one that we now find ourselves longing for. Reader “KaiTech” slipped this quick link to us showing a robot toy that can transform from its cylindrical-shaped self into a full-blown bad-ass robot. [...]

Google’s throwing an event on Wednesday, November 16th and we pretty much assume it’s for Google music. If earlier rumors weren’t enough to convince you and if the sudden surfacing of screenshots of the Google Music section of the Android market still keep you as a non-believer, how about this event that Google’s throwing later [...]

Word around AndroidForums.com is that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi is getting an upgrade to Android 3.2, but instead of the general round of improvements we’d expect, the upgrade actually breaks something – WiFi.
