Android is a very beautiful OS in all of its flavors for the options that it gives its users. For many, including myself, it was an alternative to an iPhone due to the exclusivity that AT&T have (or had due to hear-say). But now it is much more than that and thanks to the investment [...]
It is a good thing to see that more and more Android devices do have the more current version of Android, at least for now, but it would be even better if those OS updates were more from Google and the phone carriers and not necessarily using ROMs to be able to get the more [...]

Take, for example, [...]

When we reported on AppBrain’s claim that 6,000 spam apps from three developers had disappeared from the Market, we naturally wanted to confirm whether Google had in fact removed them, or if the developers had done so themselves.
