Sprint has something new up their sleeves and they’re gearing up to showcase whatever it is. Media outlets have begun receiving invitations to an exclusive event on January 10th, 2011, the day CES kicks off. There’s no telling what they’ll be showing over a month from now but we’ll have a hell of a fun [...]

With much of the world still without the Galaxy Nexus, many of us want to hear as much as we can about the phone. A couple of tidbits have sprung up from the official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release thread at AndroidForums.com. First up, Paul from MoDaCo, the same guy who brought us the ever-so-useful UI tweaks, [...]

When Amazon’s tablets were first rumored we predicted they had the best shot at challenging Apple in the tablet game than anyone. They are all about affordability and generating revenue through their ecosystem so we knew their devices would be competitively priced from the starting gate, putting them in good position to steal a good [...]

Those of you looking for a smallish clamshell Android tablet in the UK that just so happens to be Playstation Certified will be happy to know that the Sony Tablet P is now available in the UK. For £499.99 you’ll be able to get an Android 3.2 tablet that can play classic Playstation 1 titles [...]

BeyondPod for Android, a premier podcast management and listening application, is getting into the holiday shopping frenzy as it will be offered for just $2 over Thanksgiving weekend. It’s a discount of $5 from its usual $7 price, but given the functionality we wouldn’t even mind paying $10 for it. You can download individual podcasts [...]

A couple of interesting tidbits have come out of the Droid-Life camp. Firstly, we may have our first glimpse at pricing for the Motorola XOOM 2 in a MAP list leaked to them. These are said to be on-contract pricing and they breakdown as follows: 8″ 16GB- $430 8″ 32GB – $530 10″ 16GB – [...]

While the Galaxy Nexus’s volume control bug – detailed here – is annoying and rather silly, current and future Galaxy Nexus owners can rest easy knowing that the problem has been identified (it’s software related) and that a fix is on the way. No time frame was given except “as soon as possible,” though Google [...]

It’s something not many of us think about — what about all the smartphone users in the world who are blind or suffer from low vision? Wouldn’t it be nice if they had a mobile OS that was accessible to them? Well, Google’s got you covered in Android 4.0 with its new accessibility feature. We’ve [...]

We’ve pretty much suspected this for awhile now but Business Insider is the first to receive confirmation from Verizon that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus launch has indeed been “pushed back” to December. How can something be pushed back when a date was never given? Well… I guess, it can’t. Either way, that December 9th launch [...]

A new Samsung ad spot surfaced today, taking a few jabs at those dedicated iPhone users who are blinded by their devotion to all things Apple. While it doesn’t come officially from Samsung Mobile’s YouTube channel, one ‘Tuber did manage to upload the vid (most likely ripped from a DVR) for all the Android fanboys [...]

The Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket is receiving an update today to Android 2.3.6, a version which Google initially pushed to correct a Google voice search bug and other minor issues. It isn’t clear if AT&T and Samsung have added in any new elements along with the update, though we expect a few under-the-hood elements [...]

While it is getting a bit superfluous to list every phone receiving an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM in the wake of the Android 4.0 AOSP source code release, we thought we’d mention one development triumph. The Motorola TRIUMPH (pun make sense now?) has received an extremely early build of the latest Android OS courtesy of [...]

LG just launched their Optimus LTE in Canada, but have remained relatively quiet otherwise as Samsung, Motorola, and HTC all put forth their latest and greatest Android smartphones. A December 1st press event may change that. It is expected (not confirmed) that LG will launch the US version of the Optimus LTE under the guise [...]

Those in Canada have been sitting by quietly as a series of smartphones featuring 720p displays has launched elsewhere. The HTC Rezound has hit the US and the Galaxy Nexus is now out in the UK. The Nexus will hit North America in December, but Canadians are getting their first taste of Android in high-def [...]

You surely remember HTC’s recent data snafu. It was discovered that software in their recent handsets was designed to track and collect plenty of personal information, data that was vulnerable to discovery. HTC recognized the problem and quickly set about to issue a fix, but the long-term implications of the ordeal are still being felt. [...]

You’ve heard of beat’em up games, but have you heard of beat the beat up games? Fist bump, get your GTL on (if you don’t know what that means this game isn’t for you) and avoid grenades (not of the explosive variety) as you battle your way across the Jersey Shore boardwalk. Though a game [...]

As patent infringement has quickly become one of the hottest topics in tech, HTC took a gamble by acquiring S3 Graphics and their portfolio of intellectual property back in July for a cost of $300 million. The Taiwanese company was hopeful that the move would pay off by providing not only protection against the allegations [...]

Samsung had hoped to have the Android 3.2 update on most Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices by this time, but a glaring WiFi error forced them to withdraw the new software until a fix could be made. Issues have been resolved and the update is back on its journey to a Tab 10.1 near you. For [...]

Following rumors that Lenovo would be bringing a 10.1 inch tablet under the LePad brand, it appears a 5 inch tablet is in the works. It, too, will be marketed under the LePad brand in China and the IdeaTab brand elsewhere. There was no word on whether or not this device would be a phone+tablet [...]

Our friends at Toshiba are helping us kick off the holiday season by hooking us up with two of their Android-optimized Wireless keyboards for giveaway. We’ll be giving away one today, one tomorrow, and then you WON’T BELIEVE what we’re announcing on Thursday so MAKE SURE you check in on Thanksgiving (November 24th). Toshiba’s keyboard [...]
