The Droid Incredible is still one of Verizon Wireless’ most hotly desired devices, and despite the fact the handset is still on back-order, people are still buying them. One of the reasons for that, other than the 1GHz Snapdragon processor under the hood and Android 2.1 with HTC’s Sense UI, is the fact that it [...]
We don’t know about anyone else, but we can’t help but hear the endearing robot from Short Circuitsquealing “No disassemble Johnny 5!” when we watch this video of the Motorola DROID X stripped from working handset to constituent parts.

Every year, the financial site 24/7 Wall St. compiles a list of 10 companies they predict will cease to exist in the coming year. This year, they’ve chosen T-Mobile as one of the companies that is going to bite the big one in 2011. Before you start scoffing, their logic seems pretty reasonable. For starters, [...]
Even if there had been some obvious kind of way of knowing that the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment on the Sprint Network wouldn’t be getting Android 2.2, we can finally say that it’s been confirmed. By Sprint, thanks to Twitter. Yes, the HTC EVO 4G is getting Android 2.2, and Sprint is intending to [...]
Forgive us for keeping this really short, but there’s still a lot of information we don’t know.

One of the Great things about Android is the ability to take something from one device and port it to another, allowing someone to get the device they like, and then get features they may like from another device.

Google isn’t going to let Apple have the tablet market to itself There’s no denying that Apple has created something of a stir with the iPad.
