In the near future, Rogers will launch something called Social View. According to the company, it is “a built-in feature included on our exclusive selection of smartphones. In real-time, Social View brings together a user’s contacts from popular social networks like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.” In other words, on the existing smartphone portfolio the company [...]

The list of my friends obtaining Android device is growing rapidly. Even though the iPhone is extremely popular, I’m getting outnumbered solely because none of the people I know are willing to switch to AT&T. I’ve been blessed with incredible games, both online and offline, for my iPhone and I feel bad for my Android [...]

Something big is launching today. Flash on Android. No, not in the way you’re thinking, but rather through a veteran company releasing their first web browser on the Android platform. Skyfire launched their now very-popular browser on Windows Mobile a few years ago. It was considered, and still is, to be the fastest and most [...]

So, Fennec, the mobile version of Firefox, has been posted for testing purposes. This means that the download file is LARGE (10+MB) and the installation is even larger (around 38MB due to a bunch of debugging material stuffed in there) but the experience is wholly usable.

It was earlier announced that it was even possible. Wanna do it yourself? Just follow these 68 simple steps. I’d be all over this if I didn’t upgrade to the 3GS ages ago. Let’s hope that promising geek can get it working on other iPhones. Unfortunately, without the hardware buttons, the Android on iPhone experience [...]

Google announced on their blog today that the Nexus One will no longer be coming to Verizon. Google has attributed the cancellation to the upcoming Droid Incredible’s release. As we know the Incredible has very similar features to the Nexus One, and in a few ways is superior. The largest difference between the two is [...]

Android users jealous of your iPhone counterparts need not be as jealous as you once were! There has been an update issued to the app today that enables messaging within the app itself, giving you one less reason to use the mobile touch site (which, IMO, is still better than the native app). Besides that, [...]

TGIF! Welcome to another iteration of Android Rumour Roundup, wherein I explain to you how awesome Android is, and how much more news there is to share than iPhone or Blackberry. Umm… Except, this week was ALL about iPhone and Blackberry. Or, at least, it was about unreleased iPhones and rumoured Blackberries. There is no [...]
