You may have seen my previous review of the NoiseHush N650 Solar Bluetooth Car Kit a few weeks ago which means you may already be familiar with NoiseHush if you follow AndroidSPIN.  This time they sent another cool toy to play around with in the form of a NoiseHush N700 Noise Canceling Bluetooth Headset.   Who...

  Yesterday was an exciting day for Chrome with all of those product announcements. Although I was impressed with the launch of the Chrome notebook, I could not help but wonder; if this ChromeOS is so simple, lightweight and inexpensive why couldn’t Google just make it available as a download...

Touiteur, one of the best Android Twitter clients in my opinion has updated to version 2.0. It comes packed with new features such as scrollable widgets, an integrated picture viewer, and so much more! Check out the long list below of all the revisions added. New widgets!

Desktop docks are are a fairly popular accessory in the smartphone industry. With many of us sitting in front of a computer for most of our day, they sure do serve a useful purpose.

A statement from Samsung has left us with a bitter taste in our mouth. Not to mention a splitting headache. I love how company’s and the Government are so good at telling you absolutely nothing in a statement. Take a look at this mind boggling wording below: “In case a new version of Android...

Forum member mistadman, from our much prized xda-developers forum, has put together a recovery tool for the Dell Streak.  It was designed to look a lot like the standard stock recovery and offers some nice features: Landscape Capacitve buttons First stage of the two stage camera button working Signature...

As if we already haven’t had our internal boughts with this device not shaping up to be what is could have been, T-Mobile won’t even offer insurance? That is very surprising. With the phone coming in at the same price as any other high-end android device, why no insurance? T-Mobile was able...

We’re getting word that updates for both the Droid X and the original Droid are available right now.  The updates will bring each device up to Android 2.2.1 which is the latest Android build, that is until Android 2.3 is pushed out. We are hearing that the update for the Droid X was just meant...

I can never give enough praise to our Android community. I truly believe that some of these people never sleep. Yesterday we brought you the Gingerbread keyboard which was easy enough to flash through ROMManager. Today we have the Gingerbread Launcher, as an application in the market. How much simpler...

Remember a few days ago when we reported that LG stated there would be a 1 GHZ requirement for Gingerbread? Well, guess what? LG is wrong!  I thought it seemed a little off that the G2 just came out, the successor to the first Android phone, and it wouldn’t be able to run the latest version of...
