By the time you read this post, there will only be a few more hours left in 2011 — man, that went by quick, didn’t it? It seems like the older you get, the faster they go. At any rate, 2011 was a great year for us as a team and for myself as well. My son turned one, I got my associates...

Hello again my Android friends. Thank you as always for clicking in to another episode of the ManDroid Show. Last week we had the Christmas Episode so of course this week is the New Year’s episode. Let’s get the party started early! Hope you guys have a safe new years, and don’t get...

The HTC Jetstream has been one of those device that seems to have taken forever to get opened up. Just earlier this morning XDA member DooMLoRD posted up perm root and a CWM based recovery. That puts this tablet a step closer to custom-built ROMs that should make it a dream to own. Of course you need...

Motorola seems to be on a roll with their Droid line of devices. Moving along at a steady pace, making improvements and getting us moved from the OG Droid to the Droid 4 in no time. I may not personally be a fan of the Droid line, but I know many that are. The slide out keyboard is definitely consistent feature...

When ever I get a new device or flash a new ROM, one of the first things I do is change the ringtone and notification sounds. For some reason the ones that are preset are always dumb. I spend a few minutes looking for ringtones I know and listening to a few of what was preloaded. Sometimes you get lucky...

For those of you still a bit bummed out by the fact that Episode 1 never made its way to our beloved Android platform, a bit of good news was just announced today, by SEGA. It looks like they’ve been hard at work in the laboratory, cooking up Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2, and have confirmed...

Just a few months ago the Apple iPhone 4S was released, and one of its most prominent features was Siri, an assistant that helped you complete your everyday tasks. Android users said that this was nothing new and that they’ve had this for months, but honestly, Siri was ten times better than the...

All this Verizon news is starting to get a little bit crazy don’t you think? Three outages in one month, $2 ‘convenience fee’ gets added and then removed and now we have a lawsuit landing on Big Reds door step. This has been a bad month for the nations largest cellular carriers. Seems...

For those of you who are Verizon customers, you may have heard that Verizon will be charging a $2 convenience fee for all bills paid online and by phone starting January 15. Certainly there are ways of getting around this, and $2 may seem little to you, but it still causes a great inconvenience to Verizon...

For those of you who attended CES 2011, you may have visited the LG exhibit and laid your eyes upon LG and Intel’s first Intel-powered smartphone, which ran on Intel’s Atom Moorestown x86 architecture. The processor ran smoothly on the Android device, but the device’s plans to hit...

As a student, I know how hard it can be to get extra money together to satisfy my tech habit addiction. Student loans and the dismal job market just don’t allow for many of us to have an Asus Transformer Prime fund, and we’ll most likely never be able to afford that full-priced...

If you pre-ordered an Asus Transformer Prime from Amazon, you’ll be happy to know that the tablet is finally starting to ship, as of yesterday. Initially, orders were met with a shipping promise of 4-7 weeks, but it looks like that wait time was cut in half, considering it hasn’t been more...

Oh snap! Yes I really did just say that. The Transformer Prime might have been the first Tegra 3 tablet to hit the market, but it certainly isn’t going to be the last. According to AnTuTu’s benchmark site a new Toshiba device has been caught in testing. The device name is nothing short of...
