Put it pretty blunt, and basically it was meant to be. If you send your device in for the 4G LTE upgrade it will be sent back to you. Motorola refuses to upgrade any deivces that are rooted, hence you must unroot your device before sending it in to obtain the upgrade. Of course this was explained to...

A cousin to this nifty device was mentioned earlier with complete specs, pricing and release time frames. While the specifications difference is minimal between the MeMO and the Transformer, the Transformer adds a new element. They both have Tegra 2 processors, 1.2MP front facing cameras, 5MP rear-facing...

Once again the XDA Forums make breaking news. This was all started by a post on a Polish Android forum, by user goofoos, about Gingerbread Firmware, which was then confirmed by Lorbas on XDA. This build “XWJV1″ is a european/asian variant of Android 2.3.2 Gingerbread that some of us have...

We’ve all heard the rumors of Android app support being available on the Blackberry Playbook. A new video has emerged, recorded during a demo of RIM’s new tablet.  During the video a question was asked and if you listen carefully to the answer, you’ll see what we mean. Check out the...

The specs have been posted, and the pricing has been announced,….  When can I buy it?!?! ASUS now has an answer for that very question. The Eee Pad MeMO in all it’s Flyer stomping glory will be available for sale in Q3 2011. We discussed earlier that this new tablet is more than adequate...

Google has finally erected (I know, hehe, haha) a Honeycomb statue at their Moutainview, California campus, right out front of Building 44. Android 3.0 has finally joined the ranks of Androids past. The statue features an epic face-off of our favorite little Android bot and a honeybee. What do you think?   Source:...

AndroidSPIN now has an IRC server.  It’s a completely new server and is not cluttered with random people and channels. The current volume of users is low, but we hope to change that soon with your help. As I stated the server is new, if you would like to make your own channel and use it for yourself,...

Finally AT&T has released the Android 2.2 Froyo update for their HTC Aria. How long have you been waiting now (haha)?  The update will erase  some of your data along with texts, emails,  and apps, be sure to make a backup before running it. More information below. HTC Aria ™ for AT&T Android...

Ever been in indisposed (meeting, class, work) and have people relentlessly text you? Want to tell them all your busy? For those of you that have ever faced this problem there may be a solution. TextSecretary  allows you to globally set yourself unavailable by auto-replying to any text messages you...

Writing anything here will lead to a post filled with opinionated comments, with a vast majority of them being harsh. However, I’m on the fence and I wonder how many people feel the same way. I actually like Samsung (Android) devices, and TouchWiz for that matter, and I’ve never had any...

This tablet was debuted at CES 2011 in January, and although it would seem to be an underdog it’s got sights set for the Flyer. The Eee Pad MeMO will make it’s next appearance at CeBit 2011 running Honeycomb. Just a reminder the Flyer is suppose to release with Gingerbread. Curious thing...

XDA member Lef.teris has been generous enough to supply us with a system dump for the Xperia Arc. With a device of this caliber rolling out devs are just itching to see what they’re working with and  some things are already getting explored. The launcher has already been extracted and is running...

For the people that already have a Motorola Atrix 4G and want more versatility, this may provide a viable solution. Courtesy of XDA member DesignGears, this new ROM , Adeo (which also gives you the ability to wave “adios” to bloatware), is now available for download. It does have more than...

Another reason we all love technology, thanks to some clever development by XDA member berserker_devel, you can now use your rooted Android device as a keyboard or mouse on your Playstation 3. The app, BlueputDroid, has been released in beta form and allows your phone’s screen to be used as a...

HTC had just officially announced the HTC Merge Friday, and as far as release date we just got “Spring of 2011″. However, Ebay seller xyellowfrizbee didn’t feel you should have to wait, as this unreleased device has been put up for auction on Ebay and is ready for Verizon activation....
