With AT&T’s proposed T-Mobile merger dead in the water, it seems the company is looking towards new, less FCC offensive ways to spend their money. Enter Qualcomm who has just sold off their 700MHz spectrum to AT&T for use in its budding 4G LTE network. The deal has actually been approved in a 3-1 vote [...]

Christmas will be arriving a little bit early for Motorola Droid RAZR users. Verizon Wireless is currently rolling out a software update for the device that will fix a few issues customers have been experiencing with the kevlar reinforced smartphone.

We first saw “The Pyramid” tablet back in October and although the device never quite made it off of Dunder Mifflin-Sabre’s production line, one Kickstarter believes he has what it takes to unleash the power of the pyramid. Hoping to raise $25,000, Eric Calisto will build a tablet worthy of the Dunder Mifflin name and [...]

Waking up to my phone today, I noticed there were a gang of apps in the Market with fresh updates ready to be installed.

GameLoft has finally released Oregon Trail: American Settlers to the Android market.

Our friends at Madfinger have released the THD version of their shooter SHADOWGUN into the Android market. This version of the game is $5 – just like the original – and it graphically enhances the game with all of the power that Tegra 3 provides. You’ll be getting better particle, ragdoll and water physics, dynamic [...]

The first thing I went to download when I got my Galaxy Nexus was the NFL Mobile app. I found and downloaded it, alright. Being able to use it was another thing. The application wasn’t immediately available for use on the Galaxy Nexus despite it showing up in the Android market but if information received [...]

The Huawei Ascend II will apparently be available online next week for US Cellular. The device is a mid-range follow-up to the original that doesn’t take many risks compared to the original. We’ve got a 3.5 inch display, a 5 megapixel camera and Android 2.3. This sequel might not be worth it to Ascend 1 [...]

Last week we saw T-Mobile’s HTC Amaze 4G put a serious hurting on the iPhone 4S, but it seems that wasn’t enough to quiet the Apple fanboy down at the arcade. He must be a glutton for punishment to challenge the Samsung Galaxy S II after taking an 8MP camera smackdown. Who will win this [...]

With nearly every detail revealed we will likely run out of speculation long before its February release, but here is one more look at the Motorola Droid 4 from nearly any angle you could want.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, in a continued bid to fight against injustices related to emerging technologies, has cracked open the Carrier IQ software package. Since first contacted by Trevor Eckhart after being issued a cease and desist order from Carrier IQ, the EFF has been working hard to find answers to some of the most [...]

At what point will people stop trying to shoehorn new Android versions onto the original Motorola Droid? We applaud the effort and the if-it’s-possible-we-will-do-it spirit of the Android community, but will there really be any use in having Android 5.0 or maybe even 6.0 on a device that started showing its age when it never [...]

Apple’s case against the revised Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N will likely not hold up, the judge reviewing the case has stated. In Judge Johanna Brueckner-Hofmann’s opinion, changes made to the Galaxy Tab design appear sufficient to comply with a court order banning the sale of the original device. The statement is not a final ruling, [...]

Take the Samsung Galaxy Y and Galaxy Y Pro, slap on dual-SIM support, and you have the pair of handsets announced by the Korean manufacturer today.
