Well that lasted long. sadly you will have to wait until the spring season. Due to a low inventory, T-Mobile is temporarily removing the device from the Handset Upgrade program. There are other ways of getting your hands on one of these, but you can guarantee that the prices will go up for a used one. Do you own a MyTouch 1.2? What do you think of it?

Not all current generation phones will be able to use Flash 10.1 for Android once it is released in the next few months, but we had a suspicion that would be the case.  Though Flash has been seen working as a prototype on the G1 and had some support on the Hero, an Adobe forums post reveals that not all Android phone models will be supported. In response to a question about Adobe’s roadmap, an Adobe employee stated that Flash would begin appearing on Android phones “mid-year.” That employee also dropped this bombshell: “The HTC Hero will not be supported [because] it does not have ...

For the next few customization corners i am thinking on doing apps that help in customization of your device. App Category: Wallpapers App Name: Ring Tones (Mabilo) Download Code Features: Upload your own ring tones. Search all ring tones Featured ring tones Categories Ring tone management Rating: 4/5 Nice list of ring tones, lots of features. Would be higher if they had a notifications category. ScreenShots: What do you think of this app? Tell us in the comments! :)

T- Mobile USA was the first mobile carrier to launch the Nexus One. And rumor has it that the CDMA version of Nexus One is coming to Verizon March 23rd. And now it looks like the Nexus One is going international. Telegraph.co.uk has reported that the Nexus One will be launching in the UK via Vodafone, and of course, on sale through Google.com/phone only. The British news site hasn’t named actual sources but says that those close to both companies have confirmed an April launch. As you guys may know, Vodafone owns 45% of Verizon Wireless. So it would seem only ...

As we all know, Mozilla has been diligently working on bringing Firefox (or Fennec as it's known on the Mobile OS's) to the Android Operating System. Two new pictures have surfaced at the Firefox for Mobile Facebook Page of both the Droid (pictured below), and Nexus One (pictured above), Android's current hottest phones; running Fennec. According to one of the developers who commented back to the Facebook users, they are still working and testing big time on the browser and that we should stay tuned. I can only help but feel with the speed at which the Mozilla team is ...

We've all experienced it at one time or another. First the shock, then disbelief quickly moving to annoyance and possibly anger. Then the sad resignation. I'm talking about Android discrimination. Lack of Android acceptance seems to be everywhere I look, from public transit apps, to specialized products, to services.  The mobile edition of the Toronto Star is called the iPhone edition. Want to play with a NASA lunar rover? Sorry, iPhone only. Even our beloved Nook, a device that runs on a version of Android isn't available to the Android mobile-toting masses. Why is there so little Android love? Let's consider the ...

Integrasco is a Norwegian consulting firm which monitors trends in social media to see what people are talking about. In their latest report entitled “The Battle of the Mobile Operating Systems”, they found Android had the most buzz in Q4 2009 with a 40% share of mentions. For 2009 they found the HTC Magic (myTouch 3G) raised awareness of the Android platform, but it wasn’t till the HTC Hero came out that the buzz started to take off. The Motorola Droid really placed Android on the map as it was the most discussed Android handset ...

While Enomther's ROMs have many advanced features built in, not all of them are activated when you first install the ROM. Instead, Enomther gives the user the choice of controlling these options themselves. Many of the different options are now controlled using the Spareparts application. On Enomther's previous ROMs there was a utility called ExpSetup you could run from the Terminal prompt that allowed you to customize your ROM. The new approach is much more user friendly and will only get better as Enonther is going to incorporate a full GUI explicitly for customizing his ROMs. As ...

Let me  just start off by saying, this is NOT the update G1 owners have been patiently waiting for. Instead, it’s a minor update exactly like the one the original myTouch 3G received earlier this month. The Android 1.6 update (DMD64) OTA is rolling out starting today, February 26th, and will gradually make it to the masses by March 15th. The update improves G1 user’s call performance and does not include any additional feature enhancements. To receive the update, G1 owners must have the required Android data plan added. G1 owners will receive a notification on ...
