Well, this is kind of mixed news, on the upside, Ice Cream Sandwich is up by 3.8% from last month, it went from 7.1% to 10.9%, which is not a lot, but it’s getting better. On the other side, 22.7% of all Android devices are running a version of Android that is over 2 years old, and that’s...

The Samsung Galaxy Pop Plus may not be a name known to many, most may know it better as the Samsung Galaxy Mini. No matter what you know it as, it is definitely on the lower end of the spectrum as far as devices are concerned. The latest updated version of this device was recently spotted on FlipKart...

Let me just start by saying this. For those who have never experienced the Consumer Electronics Showcase, otherwise known as CES — the world’s largest electronics convention held each year in Las Vegas, it is an absolute mind-blower. This is my first time at the show and I’ve already...

Sometimes we run across a story that is almost so laughable we aren’t sure what to do with it. I find this to be rather entertaining and sad at the same time. The Department of Defense has okayed the use of Android 2.2 for use on the Defense Department computer network. Great news for our DOD Android...

Say hello to the “fresh-off-the-press” ARCHOS 35 Home Connect, which is available immediately beginning today. The 35 Home Connect is an Android-powered portable radio and alarm clock that blows away conventional devices that offer the same functionality. The device features a 1 GHz Omap...

You know there is no such thing as a leak or a slip. Everything is carefully planned and statements are pre-planned. That doesn’t mean that we don’t eat it alive when something we all want to know more about gets mentioned. Even if it is only in a passing conservation. Today that same sort...

I remember back when you were lucky to have any sort of on screen keyboard. As time and devices progress the on screen keyboard becomes more and more important. Every user out there has there preference and favorite. I know Swype is my go to one, although I don’t actually Swype around the screen....

Even though so many devices are still trying to catch up to Gingerbread, it would seem that some new information relayed to BGR could put an Ice Cream Sandwich device in our hands soon. The launch of another OS and device that runs it would no doubt be a huge deal. The rumor of this launch is spurred in...

Don’t even start with me on this device. No that was not a typo or a misprint. The Samsung Continuum on Verizon is that redheaded step child of the Samsung line up. It was a novel idea with the secondary ticker window. It didn’t catch as much ground as wither company would have liked. This...

Battery drain has always been a huge issue and a major topic of discussion. Trying to find the sweet spot for your usage and your device can sometimes be a little tricky. Not to mention time consuming, especially if you are constantly flashing new ROMs, kernels and modems. BetterBatteryStats is an application...

As if that is a surprising statement to read. It would seem that the overly hyped HTC Thunderbolt is not living up to its glorious advertising. With the device still sitting some what uncomfortably on Froyo 2.2 still, it begs the question on how this device got put out so early. The reboot bug that plagued...

This is good news all across the board for both developers and for users.  By now allowing developers to upload multiple APK’s they will be able be more specific in targeting their audiences. They will be able to upload a tablet version of their app alongside the device version with out having...

Call me a crazy, but this is pretty darn cool. It’s called the Android App Player. What is designed and supposed to achieve is essentially Android inside of the PlayBook’s QNX environment. It was discovered by N4BB via the changelog for the Playbooks update.  The app is not fully intended...

  I have personally been running CM7 Nightlies for quite sometime and prior to that, I never really cared to much about WiFi calling myself. I guess I’m not important enough to talk on my phone that much. :0) I do know, however, that you guys might or do. So when I saw this listed in the...

Looks like a group of people are starting a bounty to give to any developer that can full fill their request. Not being a developer myself, I’m not sure how feasible the request really is. Here is what they are looking for; A fully working version of Android 2.2 (minimum), preferably CyanogenMod...
