Google Swiffy Beta is a tool used to help developers convert their Adobe Flash content to HTML5. When Adobe finally decided to pull out from the mobile scene, we all wondered how Flash updates (if any at all) would hit our devices. The ability to play Flash content on cutting edge mobile devices is important [...]
Its only been a few days since the ICS ROM dropped and you can bet ROM builders have been awake ever since trying to successfully complete a port. Some dudes have already managed to port rather slick looking builds onto their Galaxy S II and Optimus 3D. That did not take long at all! Now [...]
Catch — my personal favorite note taking app — has been updated in the Android Market, finally adding the option of shared folders or “Streams,” allowing for users to team up on note collaborations (a hot feature in note taking apps these days). The difference between Catch and “the other guys?” Catch emphasizes a clean, [...]
The Galaxy Ace that we told you about back in January, just got a new face-lift. Literally! That’s right, Hugo Boss has decided to give it their once over, and it now is branded with their name. None of the specs have changed, so it is still a low to middle range phone. (Compared to the phones out now.) [...]
Today, a new developer distribution agreement was sent out by Google and caused quite the stir within the rumor mill. There is a certain part of the new agreement that talks about the Android Market’s return policy that when read, can definitely be misleading. Here, I will let you read the excerpt in question so [...]

The creators of the popular Flick games (Flick Soccer and Flick Golf) have done it again, recently releasing NFL Flick Quarterback to the Android Market. The game combines the popular flick controls from Full Fat Productions’ other games with NFL action, allowing players to "become the QB you’ve always dreamed of becoming." Flick Quarterback [...]
Of all the things I’ve seen the Android’s ADK pull off, I’d have to say I never saw this one coming. Say hello to the Android powered iZac (the looooooove booooat) looking to automate the jobs of bartenders everywhere. This robotic bartender is able to mix cocktails chosen on the included Android tablet using a [...]
Well if this isn’t enough to ruin your weekend! A recent Tweet containing the above image has put somewhat of a damper on any hopes of seeing the Galaxy Nexus anytime over the couple weeks. Usually when you hear a rumor it’s just that, a verbal rumor. Unfortunately in this case there is, what appears [...]
We’re still blazing along on our Galaxy Nexus loaner units, letting you know everything we can before our final review. The latest video we’ve got for you shows some interesting quirks of the front camera face unlock feature, plus a full walkthrough of the spiffy new Ice Cream Sandwich camera. There’s also an interesting setting [...]
Giving new life to a classic board game, EA Games has brought The Game of Life to the Android Market. The game has been given a three-dimensional treatment, taking users through "winding roads and lush environments." In order to maintain the multiplayer nature of the board game, EA has opted for a pass-to-play mechanic, accommodating [...]
One (very) lucky Galaxy Nexus owner was surprised today when he found neither hide nor hair of Adobe’s Flash player on his device. And that’s not all – when he jumped onto the Android Market looking to download the Flash player app, it was completely absent. So what’s the deal? Well, an app like the [...]
Here is another sign that Verizon’s new oddly named Motorola tablets are due to launch in the coming weeks (or at least will officially be announced). The above image recently surfaced showing the Xoom tablets’ new moniker, Xyboard, which is very Droid like and seems to veer far far away from its predecessors branding. It looks [...]
In case you hadn’t noticed, we’ve got a Galaxy Nexus in the house. We’ve been busting our collective humps to get you as much information as possible about the new hardware and Ice Cream Sandwich, and our latest effort is n that all-important and relative statistic, CPU and GPU benchmarks. If you want to get [...]

The rumored Galaxy Nexus launch on Verizon has obviously slipped its November 17th deadline, and things aren’t looking too good for the 21st, either. Reports out of Droid-Life and Twitter user “Tech FanatiX” indicate that the new date might be… ugh… December 8th. DL is showing some sort of internal VErizon database, whereas Tech FanatiX [...]
It seems that lately Samsung has been trying to cover all levels of the smartphone market, and with most carriers too. With the Samsung Captivate Glide they’ve done just that over on AT&T. Along with the Doubletime and a few other phones they have the entire range covered. Today we’ll be showing you the mid [...]
And the winner for the worst device name goes to (drum roll please) the Motorola Droid XYBOARD. Previous winner Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch will present the trophy. All kidding aside, the 8.2-inch version of the Droid XYBOARD has been pictured at PocketNow, and as expected, there's a big old LTE logo [...]
Smartphones are becoming most people’s go-to camera, but sometimes a handset’s screen – even if it measure in excess of 5 inches – just doesn’t cut it for enjoying and sharing your favorite shots. Some devices come with HDMI outputs and many feature DLNA compatibility for streaming media to compliant television sets, but Sony Ericsson [...]
We told you that it would only be a few days after the source code dropped that Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs would begin to come out. Lo and behold, some extremely sleepy custom ROM builders have already got Android 4.0 running on retail hardware. The first two devices to see early ports are the Samsung [...]
Listen, it’s alright. There’s nothing to be ashamed about. It’s a rare person that can match the sheer geeky awesomeness that is Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Knowing this, Google thought that the Woz would be the perfect person to receive the very first U.S. Galaxy Nexus. The company invited him down to the Google Mountain [...]
Here’s some info that’s sure to excite… well, nearly everyone. According NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsus Huang, Tegra 3 tablets could drop to just 9 after only "a couple of quarters" on the market. In fact, he expects it. Huang didn’t really give any insight as to why he thinks this, but the fact that he said [...]

Remember back in July when Archos debuted the G9 series? Yeah I barely did too. I had to refresh on them myself. (Head slumped with shame) Check this out, maybe it will help you too. Well this isn’t a G9 it’s a G2, and even thought there is no pricing with this announcement. We can assume [...]

November 17th? Nope. November 21st? Nope. Anytime before Black Friday. No again. In a rare instance, a Samsung Galaxy Nexus release rumor comes accompanied by actual hard evidence to support the claims. Those hoping for this phone next week turn away now. The Galaxy Nexus is now scheduled for launch on December 8th, with Verizon’s [...]

Official Android Police t-shirts are now [...]
Verizon has a lot of new handsets for the holiday season, one of which would surely slip through the cracks if it wasn’t for its bold color scheme. Yes, Verizon is doing a second push for the HTC Droid Incredible 2 and this time the thing is slathered in red. The look reminds us of [...]

Yep. Despite Verizon’s seeming inability to announce a release date for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus as reported previously accessories are easily accessible at their retail locations. Heck, they will even sell you them. You just can’t have the actual phone. Seen here is a silicone case (.74) and a pack of screen protectors (.74) purchased at [...]
When we first caught wind of the rumors, we questioned whether or not Motorola and Verizon would choose to brand the new XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition under a different name. With the first XOOM launching as a Verizon exclusive, it seemed logical the name would stay around. Instead, not only will the [...]
The Woz may have helped to start the behemoth that is now Apple, but now he has crossed behind enemy lines to pick up his very own Samsung Galaxy Nexus Wozniak stopped over at the Google campus today where he received the GNex and a t-shirt. The pictures of the event, which show him in [...]
