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 [...]

This wasn’t unexpected, but the news is here, and it’s officially official. The Samsung Galaxy S variant that we’ve seen floating around the US in T-Mobile bands is now in Canada, and will be priced at a fairly expensive $149.95 on a 3-year term, $499.95 without one. While cheaper than the 16GB iPhone 4 by [...]

Today Nielsen let loose a few smartphone-related numbers from a recent study they conducted and things don’t look good for BlackBerry’s creator, Research in Motion. The results really aren’t shocking with just 42% of current BlackBerry owners looking to replace their current device with another BlackBerry, meanwhile 21% plan to pick up an Android device [...]

Android is a phenomenon. We know this, I’ve talked about it before, but the proof is in the numbers. And Android is up over 886% since last Q2. It now owns 34% of the US smarthphone market, which isn’t a dent, since RIM only has 32%. And Apple at a staggering 21.7%. How terrible! But [...]

It’s been a scant week as far as Android news goes. We had word of Samsung’s Galaxy Spica receiving its taste of Eclair goodness, Google’s plan to make $10 billion per year with their Android platform, and yesterday GuruDaniel did an excellent review on the Otterbox Commuter case for the Nexus One. Join us after [...]

File this as a rumor because of the amount of delays thus far, but one of our solid Rogers connects just informed us that Rogers is planning to release the 2.1 update for the Galaxy Spica within the next month. We will keep you posted as we know more.

This is ambitious, but when we talk about Google, we are often talking in astronomical numbers. Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, refutes the claim that Google is a “one-trick pony,” responding that if they are a one-trick pony, “they picked the right pony,” he says. His goal is to monetize Android from advertising. $10 per [...]

It’s been a rough week for Android with the largest (and saddest) story being that the famous Google Nexus One is no longer available for sale from Google. GuruDaniel wrote a heart-wrenching salute to the handset, explaining how the Nexus One helped push Android hardware into the next generation, and how it is the ultimate [...]

Dear Nexus One, Even though I am using you right now, in fact I am currently upgrading your OS to another custom OS that a very active developer community is tirelessly working to perfect, I am speaking to you from beyond the grave. Your time on this earth was too short. In fact, it was [...]
