Great, another ‘Prime’ device name is landing. At least this time we know it to be truth and to be wickedly bad-a$$. Seriously, the worlds first NVIDIA’s Kal-El quad-core mobile chip set. Ultra thin, ultra sleek and super sexy.  The teaser video proved that with out a doubt. The site...

I am a huge fan of tower defense games, especially really good ones. My fall back is always RoboDefese. Which I am pretty sure was one of the first ones ever made for Android. I know I had it on my G1 back in the day. Since then there have been a number of various versions of this classic game style...

We all knew that when the Android 4.0 SDK hit the developers that a port of it would get started. SDK ports aren’t always the best nor are they perfect by any means. That doesn’t mean that we won’t flash away just to see the glitz and glamor. It happens every time a new OS is dropped...

If you are an app developer then you know how hard the ‘Maze’ is when trying to get your app noticed. There are hundreds of sites like our out there that do our best to show your work to a broad audience. I am willing to bet that it helps out, but that you all would love more exposure, right?...

I can already tell that there are going to be a lot of manufacturers announcing Ice Cream Sandwich headed to their respective devices. We heard about Sony Ericsson aiming to put the ICS OS on all of their 2011 Xperia devices, now we can add the ASUS Transformer to the list of devices expected to get...

No matter what Android device you have, power consumption and battery life are always a concern. Stopping apps, using regular wallpapers instead of live wallpapers and turning off things like Bluetooth and GPS can all help gain a slight edge. That doesn’t mean we want to have to eliminate services...

There goes Sammy again. Getting the hottest new devices they launch customizable. The Galaxy Note was sure awesome to see, too bad it hasn’t been announced for the U.S. and probably never will be. Ya never know though, it could happen. The Note is on the verve of being called a tablet with all...

When the official Ice Cream Sandwich OS was announced and demonstrated one question remained unanswered. What devices that are currently out will get an update?
