Shortly after tweeting that “big news” was on the way, T-Mobile today announced the launch of the myTouch 4G Slide. Designed and manufactured by HTC, the Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” device is claimed to sport the most advanced camera found on a smartphone. Featuring a backlit 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flashes and 1080p video capture, [...]

Thanks to one of BGR’s anonymous sources, today we have a bit more information to report on the first Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” smartphone from Google. Purportedly dubbed either the Google Nexus Prime or Nexus Prime, the device is said to be built by Samsung and feature some rather jaw-dropping specs, including a large 720p [...]

The ink is barely dry on the pricing news this morning, and WIND has decided to go ahead and launch the LG Optimus 2X a day earlier than expected. We had a chance to go hands-on with the dual-cored wonder a little over a month ago at the LG Experience in Toronto and have been [...]

Congrats WIND, you have successfully taken a great phone and made it even better, pricing it at $450 outright or $300 on the WINDtab. For the money you’re getting a phone that comes stock with Android 2.2 - but will get 2.3 later this year - and also has a super fast dual-core processor. Although [...]

As of June 30th, mobile app developer “Seesmic” has announced that they will no longer be developing applications for BlackBerry phones because they will be focusing on the Android and iOS platform.

What you are looking at above is Sears’ first shot at selling grey-market non-OEM phones by ways of an Android 2.2 powered iPhone clone. The device originates from Factory Direct (a company notorious for selling aftermarket or refurbished items at heavily [...]

  I have mentioned umpteen times in past posts about my thoughts on the marketing over-use of the term “4G” in Canada; to put it bluntly: it’s ridiculous. Alas, it exists and isn’t going anywhere for a while. With this ongoing battle, also exists the fight to get devices to market that can be branded [...]

During the Google I/O conference last month one of the biggest announcements - and giveaways - was the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in all its Honeycomb powered glory. Needless to say, those not in attendance were left with a bit of envy wondering how/when they could get their hands on it as well. Then the [...]

It’s been sometime since their last contribution, but our friends Gilbert P and Eskaycee are back in full force with their KissMyApps Youtube show. Today’s feature is the game “Cordy” for the Xperia PLAY; which is a fun free game with a “throwback” feel for the Android platform. So without going into too much more [...]
