If you decided to forgo the optional keyboard dock, you may find that your Prime is left rather… exposed. It wasn’t too long ago we showed you ASUS’s [...]
To be honest, this shouldn’t be a surprise. The Galaxy Nexus was postponed for more than a month, and we all figured the Motorola DROID 4 wouldn’t see a pre-holiday release 3 days before Christmas. It was rumored we may see the device tomorrow, but evidence was still thin. Now we have some concrete info [...]
Well that was quick. Developer DroidVicious over at RootzWiki has almost ported his ViciousMIUI ROM over from the Thunderbolt to the Galaxy Nexus LTE. Before even a day had passed, he had calls, call audio, and data all working perfectly. The only feature currently broken and acting buggy is WiFI and the softkeys. Though we’ll [...]

Calling in a pizza order is so last decade. Pizza places don’t even have phone lines anymore, do they? Didn’t think so. Papa John’s Pizza, the self proclaimed "leader in desktop and mobile web ordering," just stepped up their game, introducing an official app to the Android Market. Now ordering your Papa favorites is easier [...]
We’ve been talking about the Droid 4 for quite a while and everyone has been wondering if it will launch during this month. Sorry to burst your bubbles but according to a leaked Verizon document, the release of the D4 which was actually scheduled for Dec. 22 and has been moved to February 12, 2012 [...]
You had to see this coming. A new leaked Verizon doc is showing the Droid 4 — rumored to be launching tomorrow — has been postponed all the way back to February 2nd of next year. This no doubt comes as bad news to those of you looking to get your hands on a 4G [...]
Though Best Buy recently pulled their HTC Flyer from their online store, the “Now” network’s EVO View 4G essentially the same device has an Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) update available for download.

Craneball Studios is at it again, this time with their newest Android offering, a nitty-gritty first person shooter called Overkill (gotta say it from the depths of your throat). Deviating from their more “cutesy” styled title like Super Rope, Overkill pushes you headfirst into a post apocalyptic future where you must kill to survive. Okay, [...]
The Acer Iconia A500 is getting a pretty widespread system update this evening — actually it's getting two. Users are reporting that they receive the first (7.014.01), and it's quickly followed by version7.014.02. Both are small (less than 10MB) files, and neither are Ice Cream Sandwich. What the updates are bringing is welcome though, namely [...]
If your an Amazon Fire owner, you may have noticed you previously couldn’t access the web version of the Android Market via market.android.com. If you attempted to access that site from your Fire, you would be redirected to the Amazon Appstore. With the root breaking 6.2.1 update that recently hit, it looks like that redirect [...]
Weather Underground, a popular (and extremely useful) online weather service, released its official app to the Android Market yesterday, bringing sophisticated, reliable weather reporting to the palm of your hand. Perhaps the most handy of Weather Underground’s features is the Interactive Wundermap, which allows users to get vital weather information in various forms, from webcam [...]

The largest newspaper publisher in the United States has decided on the mobile tech its reporters will carry — and it's not good for Android. Gannett newspaper division president Bob Dickey, in an internal memo published by the independent Gannett Blog, announced that the company had purchased thousands of iPad 2s and iPhone 4Ss, which [...]
A lesser known fact about the Kindle Fire — when entering “market.android.com” in the device’s web browser, the device would actually forward you Amazon’s own Appstore instead of Google’s world famous web version of the Android Market. Pretty frustrating and somewhat alarming to some users as they were essentially being blocked from accessing a website [...]
In recent news, Intel is looking to get a foot in the door when it comes to manufacturing smartphones and tablets. It appears as though they want the world to know that they can do more than just produce chips with the U.K. company’s ARM architecture. Intel upped their game last week when MIT’s Technology [...]

In a not too surprising move, toy maker Hasbro has sued ASUS, claiming that the Transformer Prime tablet’s name infringes trademarks related to Optimus Prime and Transformers children’s toys. Hasbro filed the lawsuit late last week in Los Angeles federal court, seeking damages and a temporary injunction. Hasbro wrote to paidContent: Hasbro continues to aggressively [...]
There’s no question that Asus knew about the association with a certain mega-popular toy line when they christened their follow up to the original Transformer as the “Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime”. Anyone born before 1990 will remember the Transformers action figures and cartoons, and anyone born after 1990 will recognize the Michael Bay films. [...]

What do we have here. Oh yes, it’s yet another lawsuit from a company attacking an Android manufacturer. Nothing new there. But in a surprising twist, this time it’s not coming from a competitor.

There’s at least one thing that hardware manufacturers are inspired by: making so much money that they have to sell more phones to make room in the warehouse for a fleet of Bentleys. But the Galaxy Nexus enjoys a design that’s fairly unique, between its curved construction and its deliberately spartan layout. So what was [...]
Update coming that will make signal appear to be better It's not every day that smartphone users want to be lied to. But in the case of signal strength, we'll apparently make an exception.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Active can take a beating, but it isn’t invincible, is it? This collection of videos suggests otherwise, as the handset designed to survive the stresses put on it by an active user is tortured in a way that makes Hostel look like a Disney flick.
