Our good friend Will over at IntoMobile has put together a nice software overview of the T-Mobile myTouch 4G being released in just a few days.  I’m not going to say much more, except that every new video and article on this new phone sure does make it sound like it’s going to be a big...

Something really incredible has just happened. You probably already know parts of it. Heck, you might even know most of it. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head, I have barely slept. Such an amazing display of caring, of compassion, and of community… I feel it must be written...

I posted the rumor last night from an anonymous source about the release of a possible Nexus Two from Samsung and Google.  Some people said it was B.S. and some people where intrigued.  Now it has been confirmed by Gizmodo as being for real.  One of their friends managed to get their hands on the...

With high security jobs abound through out the world and technology jumping leaps and bounds, some people just don’t get to enjoy the spoils of current devices. I remember when I worked at T-Mobile I spoke to many people that couldn’t wait to buy a G1, but since it had a camera they always...

I would have to file this under just plain plain fun. Not all news has to be serious. Vodafone’s campaign to draw more interest into Android has landed a roaming RED Android in the streets of Australia. Although some may find this creepy, sort of, I can honestly say I’d much rather see a...

This was a pretty unexpected find. The HTC Merge has still not been officially confirmed for launch by Verizon or by HTC, yet here we see it as a prize for ‘The Urban Challenge’ held in Seattle Washington. Even better yet, they are giving away 6 devices in all! Here is a brief over view...

With all the recent buzz and hype over Android tablets paired with retailers like Walgreens and Toys R’ Us joining the band wagon, it should be no surprise that developers are taking notice. With the huge success of the Samsung Galaxy S devices, what better way to increase your company’s...

We have been hearing about the Venue and the Venue Pro coming from Dell for a while now. This particular FCC filing is just for the “Venue”. Thankfully the Venue is supposed to be running Android, not Windows Phone 7. The device is also dropping the portrait slide down keyboard in favor...

Motorola has been raising the bar on profits since they bet strongly on Android powered phones. Their mobile unit had, in this last quarter, a revenue increase of 20% to $2 billion. The company’s plans to launch 20 Android-based smartphones in the beginning of the year have been surpassed as they...

Google Maps just put out a new update to the Maps application in the Android Market. The newest additions aren’t major but sure are useful. Taking a look at the image you can see we can now filter by ‘What’s open Now’  in the neighborhood or by related searches. Also, you have...

And then there was root. The Galaxy S phones are familiar with root, but the Samsung Mesmerize, which was launched yesterday, got its first taste of root. The Samsung Mesmerize is the regional carrier’s Galaxy S device. The device was rooted using the rageagainstthecage exploit by C-skills. The...

Toys R Us is now going to be equipping children with the technology of the future. The retailer will be selling the Elonex Etouch tablet, which was displayed at IFA in Germany. The tablet will come with a 7 inch or 10 inch screen. Etouch specs include: ARM 9 300mhz processor (7inch tablet) ARM 11 1GHz...

The T-Mobile myTouch 4G hits shelves in just six days and what a better way to hype yourself up about this device or simply check out a review if you’re on the fence than to visually see it running and showing you all what it’s capable of. Features of the myTouch 4G include: Android 2.2 Espresso...

We’re sure many of you GM owners have been getting a little impatient as most likely you’ve already seen the OnStar Android App commercial going around. You’ll be happy to know that OnStar MyLink is now available in the Android Market. You’ll now have the luxury of knowing all...

I really love the Android Community. I feel a very strong pull to its ever growing members list and the great things we are capable of together. Sometimes, though, we get a little overexcited. We do silly things like vote 250,000 times for a pumpkin via a script, push 1GHZ phones to 1.6 GHZ to say that...
