We have been following the news on Sony Ericson’s hot, new Android 1.6-powered handset for quite a while now and with Rogers announcing preorders recently we can definitely feel the impending launch. We had already learned that the Xperia X10 would be available on Rogers for $149.99 with a 3-year contract and off-contract it would ring [...]

Welcome to Aᶟ (A Cubed, or Awesome Android App), where we look at inventive, creative and downright useful Android applications. Today I’m looking at Wi-Fi Tether for Android, a program available only to those who have rooted your phones. This may not be all of you, but the majority of users may want to root [...]

Last night, at the Motorola MotoBlur party (coverage to follow) I had an interesting conversation with someone who works within Telus’ ranks. He said, unofficially, that the updates Android 2.1 for the Telus Milestone and Hero will be coming in early May for the Milestone and early June for the Hero. The Milestone update is [...]

They have emerged as saying that the Nexus One screen is an “unfinished prototype” and doesn’t perform nearly up-to-par as a production screen. I humbly disagree with this, as I’ve used the Nexus One for weeks now, and [...]

Update Delayed. Or Just Ignored. According to MobileSyrup, one of their tipsters informed them that “due to a lack of effort the [Telus] Hero’s update to Android 2.1 has been delayed to the first week of May.” What the heck does “lack of effort mean?” That they just don’t care?
