Well well well, here we are again everyone. The Motorola Xoom won’t go away will it? There is a pretty big chance that if you typed in Google ‘Motorola Xoom’ you’ll get more bad talk about it than good. Sad to say we have some more bad news to report and this time it comes [...]
There are times when hacking your device is fun to do. Hacking is breaking into your device’s system to get more control of it. This is usually possible by breaking the barrier put up by the manufacturer or the carrier. But it is good to have an app that does it all without the hassle [...]
Those of you who are on TMobile’s network and were in the market for a new 4G phone, Samsung has just released the Galaxy S 4G today. Now, if you’re not someone who needs a new phone just yet, you can probably wait until later in the year, towards the summer, for the Galaxy SII [...]
Another day, another story bashing Motorola and something with their products. Today, the folks over at Engadget are revisiting the Atrix 4G Laptop dock and the fact that it cannot do multi-touch support. Therefore, making scrolling in the built-in Firefox browser a painfully, slow process (especially since almost everyone can scroll very easily on their [...]
Android seems to be taking over the World. Android has taken over the States and I’m surprised Sarah Palin hasn’t gone on TV to label it a terrorist organisation. It is also taking over the UK where i am surprised that the British haven’t accused it of stealing their jobs or milking the benefit system. Now [...]
Currently we’ve heard that Android OS 3.0 (Honeycomb) is and will remain a tablet-specific Android OS.

Enter the Sony Ericsson Xeta concept phone. The [...]
T-Mobile may just be heading towards unlimited data plans later this year according to a screen shot of an internal page leaked to Tmonews. This is in stark contrast to other wireless providers, such as AT&T, who in recent months, have opted to end unlimited plans with the release of newer, faster devices. With phones such [...]
LG has put together a pretty awesome lineup of devices called Optimus.

All three of these Optimus phones [...]

A screenshot sent to DroidLife has bloggers questioning whether the Motorola Droid 2 could receive an OTA update in the near future. It is still uncertain as to whether or not the anonymous source downloaded the update, but 42.5MB makes you wonder just how big of an update this could be. What is Verizon up [...]
Anybody want a ticket to the Google I/O Developer’s Conference in May? Well if you feel like handing over a cool $1000 or more you’ll be in luck on eBay. Talk about ticket scalping!

Thanks to a completely innocent question posed on twitter, now we know the Motorola XOOM will have an unlockable and lockable bootloader. This is unlike the Moto Atrix 4G, which seems to be in solitary confinement. Of course this doesn’t mean much for the general public, but for developers, it means a field day, with [...]
Motorola is at it once again with their anti-developer policy of locking the bootloader on the new Atrix 4G that was released February 22nd (yesterday). Now, personally, I don’t understand why they even do this; the average consumer probably won’t even try to root their phone, so what’s it really “protecting”? This is the same [...]
Many of you may remember that Samsung also announced a 4G LTE phone during the CES announcement, but that device never had a name.

Live TV streaming is something Android users have always wanted but, there hasn’t been a killer application yet for this service. Samsung is making an attempt using a kind of reverse DLNA streaming where the company’s new D7000 and D8000 HDTVs will be able to wirelessly stream live TV to the phone and tablet. This all [...]
There’s a new BBM-like client in the waters: Beluga has shown its face and it’s a very simple to use instant messaging client that works on both Android and iOS devices.
