Notion Ink has finally revealed a little more information regarding their upcoming Adam II Android tablet. Apparently the slate will be powered by a Texas Instruments 4400 series dual-core processor, complimented by a PowerVR SGX5xx GPU and running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. In an unexpected twist to their announcement, Notion Ink will be featuring [...]

Considering an Android Tablet for digitally reading your periodicals? Like the New York Times? Barnes & Nobles has conjoured up a deal that might be up your alley. If you commit to a 1-year subscription to the New York Times at $19.99/month, you can now get the Nook Simple Touch for Free or the Nook [...]

There are tech lovers all over the world, but we’re often given very different gadgets, services, and opportunities depending on where we live. One key example is Mobile Digital TV which has long been available in Asian Markets but has evaded American consumers for quite some time. This year, the Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC) [...]

Several months ago we saw a rather unknown company called Verzo pop up promising a new phone called the Kinzo. They went from not having a website to launching a product pretty darn quick, and we may be more excited about their approach to the handset game than the sexy handset they’ve designed. After buying [...]

Touch screens? That’s soooooo 2007. Say hello to the Kinect-ish gesture controlled Pantech Vega LTE for Korea. The device was announced back on the 6th with some pretty hefty specs and even without the knowledge of touchless gesture controls, the Vega LTE already had me drooling. The video below shows a Korean woman covered in [...]

Android netbooks seem to be on the rise and NEC wants to cash in early, it seems. This one doesn’t look nearly as good right now as the hybrids from ASUS – the Slider and the Transformer – but its thin and small design could be popular with those who want sort-of a traditional computing [...]

We haven’t heard of Verzo before and you probably haven’t either as their entire website is coming soon. But according to an exclusive over on Engadget, they’ve got an Android phone lined up for a September debut and we’re eager to see what the startup can produce. It’s name sounds like a Hollywood Ninja or [...]

Looks like Verizon will be getting some Pantech love in the near future as revealed in this FCC filing today. Pantech hasn’t made much of a splash in the Android scene here in the states but they may be trying to change that thanks to this Verizon 4G LTE enabled device. Still no word on [...]

Google has just added 2 new phones to their Phone Gallery in which they showcase some of the best (and worst) Android has to offer. Normally, I try to avoid posts on Android powered phones from non-English speaking countries like Korea but these 2 Pantech devices look so nice, I had to think twice. The [...]

It ain’t Honeycomb – heck it ain’t even Gingerbread – but the Viewsonic Viewpad 10 update to Android 2.2 will certainly be welcomed by everyone who owns the device. The upgrade also makes the Viewpad 10 instantly more attractive to potential buyers as the device was previously running Android 1.6. Don’t forget this bad boy [...]

So Apple’s iPhone 4 was introduced as the world’s thinnest smartphone, then LG vowed to trump them with the LG Optimus Black. And now NEC’s getting into this aggressive shoving contest: the NEC Medias is just 7.7mm thin. To compare, the Galaxy S 2 is 8.49mm, the Optimus Black is 9.2mm, and the iPhone 4 [...]

Visiting the Aluratek booth at CES, we were given tours of two of their most promising Android devices: the Aluratek Cinepad and Aluratek Libre. The first is a more fully functional 10.1-inch tablet that has a pretty full feature set including a USB port while the Libre is a smaller tablet designed as more of [...]

Like many Android products at CES 2011, the 35phone seemed unfinished and unpolished, but the concept here is rather neat. The 35phone itself seems just like another Android Phone, but with the accompanying dock and bluetooth tablet, you can actually use your phone from the larger screen. Here it is only seen working with a [...]

There were a lot of cruddy tablets at CES 2011 but the Hanvon HPAD was not one of them. The versions they had for testing were still beta builds, so we can expect improved performance once the device launches in July. But out of the gate, I really liked how Hanvon optimized Android for their [...]

Beyond gaming, I think one of the most underutilized opportunities for Android is in the automotive space, and I can understand why. With texting while driving being made illegal the world over, how many issues, problems and concerns does a full entertainment suite via Android include? Check out this nifty In-Car Infotainment center from Foryou/Adayo [...]

Rockchip didn’t hold back their love for Android at CES, showing off the Android Robot at their booth in record numbers and displaying perhaps the hugest collection of Android Devices at CES altogether. And Rockchip doesn’t even manufacture the devices. That’s right: Rockchip creates the chipset in Android devices for manufacturers like ARCHOS, but when [...]

We’ve seen Google TV come polished with Sony Internet TV and the Logitech Revue. While they haven’t caught on like we hoped and expected, I still view television as a growth market for Android and the Google TV platform in general. A company at CES called Cideko (warning: site has annoying music) definitely agrees- they [...]

A little digging by The Digital Reader has yielded a mysterious and polished looking Android eReader by Mirasol. Take a look at the promo video: It seems the company uploaded the video in preparation of CES but the link was shared a little more than they may have liked. Or, in my opinion, the more [...]

It looks like AT&T has snagged itself an interesting little eReader/Tablet combo with the 9-inch Pandigital Novel. The tablet is Android based, connects to both AT&T’s network (with contract) and Wi-Fi, and also has access to the Barnes & Nobles digital store. The cost will be $279.99 on contract. This isn’t the first effort by [...]

Bet you didn’t think the PSP Phone would be out so soon, did you? Well, we aren’t looking at it here, that’s for sure. This is the Unmei Q5 coming to us straight from Shenzhen, China, and for about $60 US you could score this 3.5-inch touchscreen, dual-SIM card touting PSP Go knockoff with Android. [...]
