Well it’s about time. Verizon wireless users itching to dump their original Motorola Droid for the sexy successor finally have a date to look forward to and it couldn’t be any closer. Starting online tomorrow and in stores this Thursday, the device will be available for $199.99 after $100 mail-in rebate on a 2 year [...]

Even though this week was BlackBerry Torch week, that doesn’t mean Android didn’t have its fair share of news. Multiple numbers came in this week showing tremendous growth in the market share and mind share of Android handsets, the Nexus One isn’t completely dead, and there were various other Android phone release rumors and announcements. [...]

With the HTC EVO 4G and even the Motorola Droid getting Android 2.2 recently, we all know the Droid X is feeling a little left out. Today on Motorola’s support forum we got out first official word of an early September drop date for the update. An extra special fix is supposed to be mixed [...]

Whew, that was a close one. Just when we thought HTC’s Nexus One was gone for good, Google’s Developer Blog has announced that the phone will still be available for Android Developers to purchase for $529. You will of course need to be a developer to be eligible to purchase a Nexus One so perhaps [...]

According to a couple sleuthy sleuths, when Verizon, the Big Red AT&T killer, launches the Droid 2 next month, it will arrive with the highly-coveted Android 2.2 (Froyo) on board. This is a good thing. Because Android 2.2 is faster and better than Android 2.1. But not only that, Android 2.2 comes with a built-in [...]

You know, results like this brings a tear to my eye. Turns out that all those grand claims from Google engineers about how Android 2.2 will literally run laps around the iPad (and iPhone 4) in terms of javascript performance was actually correct. You mean, a performance claim that is actually true? See, Steve, you [...]

There have been two leaked builds of Android 2.2 AKA FroYo since it was announced last month. The first came literally days after the announcement, leading to speculation that indeed it was not a final build of the OS. This was soon confirmed. Then, for weeks, we heard nothing from Google. Last week, a new [...]

Well, good things come to those that wait! I haven’t been around the scene in the last few days, and look what I find? It’s not the Froyo source (where is it, Google!?) but it’s something almost as good. Considering the iPhone 4 was just annouced, and will bring with it 720p video recording. charnsingh_online [...]

It was less than a month ago that we saw the Android OS ported (and working) over to an iPhone. Though it was on a dated iPhone 3G, it was fully functional and gave iPhone fanboys something to drool over as they anxiously awaited today’s WWDC event. Fast forward to less than 24hrs before the [...]

This is a big day for Android users. Firstly, the platform is growing at an extraordinary rate. It has increased to nearly 30% US market share in less than two years. The daily run rate is now 100,000 units per day! This is seriously good. There are 50,000 applications in the Android marketplace. Not all [...]
