If you didn’t get your hands on Google + yet, don’t worry we got you covered! Don’t head to eBay and give your money away to scalpers. We would like to thank Droid Life for showing us the “trick” on how to invite people to the new Google service, since the invite feature was turned [...]
I like to consider myself a pretty easy going guy, always smiling, petting babies and kissing little dogs. Most people would describe me as laid back and are usually amazed at how almost nothing can really set me off. Well, all that changed with the Android Market and, for lack of better words, the Android [...]
Android Central has gotten their hands of what it appears to be a leaked training document for Verizon employees about the upcoming Motorola Droid 3. The snapshot is showing a comparison chart between the D3, the Droid 2 Global and Droid X2. The Motorola Droid 3, aka Motorola Milestone 3 in China, will come with: [...]
Google has been rolling out an array of new services this week, most recently being their social effort, called Google+. Now it is rumored that they’ve been developing a photo sharing service named Pool Party. Android has long lacked a photo sharing app that has been able to grab the masses like Instagram does on [...]
While a lot of Evo users in the rooting world have opted to follow the developers to the 3D, the developers for the Evo 4G, the Incredible, and the My Touch 4G have not forgotten about you. In fact, they pulled together to make quite possibly the greatest experience you could ask for on your [...]
According to a leaked internal document from Virgin Canada, the Samsung Galaxy S II will be released in 14 days, on July 14th. Bell and SasKtel will probably start selling it at the same time. Our friends from Canada are probably excited to finally get their hands one of the most wanted Android devices this [...]
There is a huge range of custom launchers on the Android Market, many of which we’ve covered here. SPB Shell 3D is different. It certainly looks the part and boasts some pretty impressive graphics and features, however most people will wince when they see the price: it’s .95. Is it really worth it- Can it [...]
Do You Use a Hardware Keyboard-survey software I’ve been using touch-screen phones for about four years now, since I got a Sony Ericsson W950i. That was a hybrid: touch screen (with stylus), and keypag (numbers, not QWERTY). After I switched to an HTC Desire, I didn’t miss the physical keyboard at all — in fact, [...]
Google is on fire lately! With the launch of the uber exclusive social network, Google+, we were introduced to something I wasn’t used to seeing from Google: polished UI. Well, it looks like Google is running with the UI from Google+ and incorporating it into Gmail as well. The newer, more minimalistic, clean look wont [...]
Google’s at it again with their famous “me too” approach but hey, I’m not knocking it. This time they’re taking Instagram to the streets with Pool Party for Android. The app was developed by their Slide team and sadly, much like Google+, it’s available by invite only. Pool Party is a photo sharing app that [...]

There’s a lot of things in this world that I will never understand. Like, how CD’s work or why we have to suffer with hiccups. Well, today you can add another item on that list. Why is Canada getting the Samsung Galaxy S II before the US- Well, I guess it’s still up in the [...]
Perhaps you just saw our rundown of the Verizon Motorola Droid 3 specs. Did you catch the Easter egg- According to our leak, it appears that the Motorola Droid 2 Global (and presumably its CDMA-only cousin) — which has seen its Gingerbread update apparently delayed — will finally get Android 2.3 after the launch of [...]
I was going to title the post “BREAKING LEAK” but that didn’t sound quite right. In any case, it looks like the guys over at Android Central were able to snag a snapshot of a chart showing off the specs of Motorola’s upcoming Droid 3. While there’s not too much here we didn’t already know/guess, [...]
Not sure if I should file this under weird or just out of the ordinary but it looks like Google has partnered with Virgin America Airlines to offer free Google Chromebook demos to their passengers. Then again, when you think about it – it kind of makes sense. Having a captive audience stuck in a [...]
As you probably know, Skype released a major update to their Android application today. The update brought video calling and a redesigned UI. Unfortunately, the video calling feature isn’t available on all devices. At the moment video calling is only supported on the Google Nexus S, HTC Desire S Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo and Pro. [...]
While you’re waiting for official word about the Motorola Droid 3, and tired of looking longingly at the Motorola Milestone 3, you can start thinking about what accessories you’ll be picking up. This leaked list from Verizon includes the inductive charging battery door, a 1930mAh extended battery, and a pair of docks — one for [...]
Hey, look at that. It’s the Verizon Droid 3 specs — and lined up next to the Droid 2 and Droid X2 for good measure. Let’s just give ‘em the full rundown. The Droid 3 looks like it’ll launch with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The screen resolution has already been all but confirmed at qHD resolution (that’s 540×960), [...]
One of the features present in most devices that run the Android operating system is the ability to place and receive voice-over-IP (VoIP) calls through a built-in UI compatible with many VoIP providers. While third party VoIP solutions have been available on Android for some time, Google recently introduced this feature in their 2.3.3 [...]
The Android Market can be an intimidating place, but we don’t think it should be. We scour dozens of new entries to the Market each day and feature the best and most anticipated entries here in our Apps of the Day. Today we have a social networking alternative where popularity isn’t based on how many [...]
Hoo boy wouldn’t you like to get your hands on a device named after a pile of islands- That’s what Sharp is banking on, and if our brief history with the Galapagos name is any indication, we’re in for a hit-or-miss ride. What this tablet COULD mean for us is a 7-inch tablet (though in [...]
What we’ve got here is the third of three mid-range Samsung Android smartphones that’ve been revealed over the past couple of weeks, this one the smallest of the three and certainly the one with the least special features. We’ve had a hands-on look at the Samsung Gravity Smart and a hands-on look at the Samsung [...]

It’s still only Thursday but for those of you in Canada it happens to be a long weekend thanks to Canada day — so that said, hope you all have a great weekend. For those of you not in Canada, it’s just one more day and the weekend will be here. To help pass the [...]
Anyone who has spent much time at all in the Android dev community knows how often file upload s services like Megaupload and Rapidshare are used to distribute cracks and ROMs. While these sites are perfectly functional, users have to share bandwidth with people downloading various videos, music, and hacks of all kinds. Enter AndBuddy: [...]
Google+ looks a bit like Facebook and acts a bit like Twitter. One great feature is that you can add ANYBODY to your Circles, even without them adding you. If they haven’t added you to a circle, you’ll only see posts and info they make public. Nonetheless if G+ becomes Twitterish we could be getting [...]
Hey, Droid 2 owners! Remember in the not so distant past when the Droid X received a workaround that allowed it to get its own build of CyanogenMod 7- Yeah, you knew it was only a matter of time before Team Douche hooked you up, too – and now the wait is over. CM7 nightlies [...]
Been waiting for an HTC Sensation to arrive in Canada- Today just might be your day to get your hands on one. After having called local Bell and Virgin mobile locations I can confirm that most stores (At least, in my area) have now received their inventory. With the device not set to officially [...]

It has been a while since we have seen or heard of the Galapagos line of tablets from Sharp. The devices were last seen earlier this year when a 5.5-inch and 10.8-inch model were revealed in an FCC filing. We caught a glimpse of what to expect a few days later at CES, but it [...]
It looks like Mr. Mark Zuckerberg – founder of Facebook – has a Google+ profile and is peeking his head in on the service. In fact, you can visit his profile and add him to one of your circles now! I tried to add him to a Circle I created called “Trust” but got this [...]
Oh, Path… If you would’ve released your Android app a few short weeks ago, I’m certain that it would’ve done quite well. Alas, here we are – two days after the initial launch of my new favorite social networking site, Google+, and there’s probably not much hope for you now. For those that are unaware, [...]
One thing’s for sure about the Android dev community: They move fast. Less than two weeks after the device’s launch, root access has been achieved for the Evo 3D — both the stock version, and the updated kernel that was released OTA right after launch. Android dev agrabren announced via Twitter just hours ago that [...]

Amazon wants to ship 4 million tablets by the end of the year, but supply problems might get in the way of their goal. The retail giant has ordered up tablet touch panels in excess of 1.5 million, according to DigiTimes, but competing orders from Apple have manufacturers of the displays hesitant to commit. Several [...]
Android continues to lead the US smartphone market as, for the first time ever, the sale of smartphones has surpassed the sale feature phones, according to Nielsen. A majority 55 percent of new cell phone buyers went with a smartphone as their new handset, an increase from 34 percent one year ago. Of US mobile [...]
Google+ is pretty cool. I just got in last night thanks to a friend who invited me while they were still available. Unfortunately people were so excited to get in that Google was a bit overwhelmed while they’re just in beta, and had to cut off the invitations. Turns out that theres a pretty sneaky [...]
