Lenovo has been hard at work on its Android offers, as we most recently saw with the IdeaPad K1 and ThinkPad but a new 7-inch tablet has just been spotted. Confirmed details for the 7-inch IdeaPad are rather slim still but rumors are suggesting this one will be powered by a TI OMAP3621 processor, a [...]
Good news for Galaxy S II owners looking for a bit of custom firmware action. Samsung’s excellent flagship device has taken its first step towards being fully supported by CyanogenMod, with early Galaxy S II nightly builds of the popular custom ROM now rolling out. The nightlies are based on the CyanogenMod 7.1 branch, which [...]
The number of people I know running Linux as their primary OS is limited to developers. I am certain there are many other users out there that are running this wonderful FREE Open Source operating system. I generally see a few comments running around the web when a new service is launched and Mac or [...]
Brand new Verizon CEO, Lowell McAdam, recently spoke about the proposed purchase of T-Mobile by AT&T. In a webcast of the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference he said, “I’d say the merger will probably go through. It’s a merger AT&T probably had to do.” He went on to say that he was surprised that is did [...]
You gotta love when a company make a little tiny change to their products, and its the one change that everyone complains about, forcing the company to plea for your forgiveness by launching other products to help ease the pain. Remember when hotels used to give free Wi-Fi- Well, similarily, if you want a kickstand [...]
More and more hints at an imminent Droid Bionic launch are appearing all over the place. First, a bunch of accessories show up at Amazon and now Verizon’s own stores are bringing in phone displays prepping to introduce the new Motorola beast. Although the sign says “coming soon”, we cannot imagine what other device other [...]

I went on and on a few weeks ago about Widget Locker and how it improves my lock screen functionality. I admit to being a fan of something taking the innovation given to us by the mighty crafters at Android and improving on them. Folder Organizer is another example of taking something that’s been around [...]
Yesterday, I made a very simple post on my Google Plus account. Little did I know that the discussion that was forthcoming would be as deep as it was. I was paying my T-Mobile bill online when I got to thinking of the impending purchase of my favorite carrier by AT&T (Disclaimer: I do receive [...]
tecksphere | Jul 22, 2011 | Comments 0 Given what we know about Google updates, they come often, it is no surprise to hear that Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream Sandwich is due to be distributed by years end. Naturally one would assume that there are going to be upgrades from the current gingerbread release. [...]
tecksphere | Jul 22, 2011 | Comments 0 HTC continues to lay the foundation for opening up Android.

While T-Mobile’s already opened the floodgates for preordering the MyTouch 4G Slide from them, you can get it a bit cheaper if you don’t mind going through third party channels.

We know a few of you Linux users are also Android users. And, by extension, you might be Google Music users. Unfortunately, no official solution for uploading music to the cloud for wireless playback has been available… until now. Google has released .deb and .rpm packages for Google Music. These packages can be likened to [...]
Preferred not to order your Vizio tablet online in order to wait to get your hands on it- Reports are coming in that the tablet can now be found in some retail stories, namely Costco. It’s not a Honeycomb tablet and it won’t wow or impress you or even your technology-ignorant friends, but it’s poised [...]
If you had doubt that LG had more Android phones coming our way this year, stow them. Three more have popped up in a massive leak from our friends at PocketNow. The first is the LG Prada K2, a phone with a name that insinuates it’ll be aimed at the crowd who prefer to be [...]
The original DROID blew everyone away. It saved Motorola from almost certain bankruptcy, breathed new life into Verizon’s smartphone catalog, and made Android a desirable mobile operating system rather than a cheap alternative to iOS. In short, it ushered in a new age of Android devices. A lot had changed by the time its successor, [...]
We like spy shots around here even though spy photographers are the worst photographers on the planet. Why can a spy shot never be clear and have no grain- Beggars can’t be choosers I guess. What we have here are photos of what is thought to be the Lenovo 7-inch IdeaPad tablet. The tablet is [...]
Allow us just a little bit of inside baseball here: Mobile World Congress — Europe’s premier mobile event — has announced that it’s staying in Barcelona, Spain, through 2018.

Recently, Google upgraded the Android Market, and yesterday they announced multiple APK support.

We had some Netflix news a couple days ago for Honeycomb tablets, but ASUS Transformer users were perhaps feeling a little left out in the cold on the support side of things. It was working on some, but unfortunately not all. That’s going to change today, as a patch is now available to get Netflix [...]
I would bet that any of you that are into mobile games have heard of Fruit Ninja. This really cool game has been around for a while now. Back in late March, the game was on Amazon as the free app of the day. Halfbrick Studios has now announced that the game is on the [...]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Apple has decided that, in order to truly get ahead in the mobile space, lawsuits are the new black. We’ve weighed in with our opinion on the lawsuits. However, we’ve been getting the same question over and over: why is Apple suing Google / HTC- [...]
Yep, that there is the Droid Bionic that we have talked about and lusted after for a while now.

The Motorola DROID BIONIC has gone through some major design changes since we last seen it at CES earlier this year. If you need further proof of this we have yet another pic of the device cradled comfortably in its desktop dock with a Droid X style hump on its back. I mean, we knew [...]
