Let’s face facts. Forking over a small fortune for the latest and greatest in Android phones, is not on people’s top five list of things to do. Especially with the economy the way it is, the average consumer will wait as long as they can to upgrade their phones, or even to step into the...

First, we reported that anyone using Google Wallet on a rooted device, was easily susceptible to getting their security PIN hacked. This was due to the fact that phones running an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM did not have true NFC capabilities. Next, we came to figure out (the very next day) that even devices...

Time to hit up the rumor mill and see what is happening. The latest front comes in from PocketNow. Claiming that they have received the render image above and a few details on a new device yet to be seen or discovered. It is said to be an Ice Cream Sandwich touting Motorola device. Showing off, what...

Earlier today we heard the good news that the European Union gave Google the green light to purchase Motorola. That was one step in the right direction.

Does your mundane Monday have you tired of digging through news feeds, looking for something interesting to help you make it through the day? If so, you should load up HeavenHell, a free game in the Android Market by Nelphy Games, and give it a try like I’ve been doing over the past few hours....

The world of smartphone gaming continues to grow, so much so now we are finding accessories for game apps. One such accessory is, The O Ball. The goal here (no pun intended) is to make the apps you have on your phone feel more “real” while you play them. I am a little lost on how this is...
