Holy gee-willikers, Batman! Remember the HP TouchPad fire sale that set the internets a blaze a few months ago? Well, I’m definitely kicking myself for missing out — especially after seeing this.

There’s no doubt that just like the year before it, 2011 was a tremendous year for Android. Even though many like to lump all Android devices into one as far as market share is concerned, not all is “kumbaya” in the world of Google’s mobile OS especially when Android OEM’s compete viciously with each other [...]
ASUS has said that a 3G version of its extremely popular Transformer Prime will not be coming into production by the end of Q1 if at all.

Microsoft has been pretty shameless and unapologetic about licensing patents to Android manufacturers, for an OS they didn’t make or own. Of course, they would have you believe like they did have an impact on making Android, but who actually believes that? Does anyone actually think Google tried to somehow reverse engineer and copy Microsoft’s [...]
Adobe’s released a pair of updates for their Android plugins, Flash and AIR mobile, today. Little more than security and stability additions can be had here, of course, because Adobe’s no longer adding new features to their mobile products.

A lot of people have been wondering our stance on the whole SOPA and PIPA issue going on these days and being a part of the game industry as well as in a community such as Android where openness is valued part of everything. With that said we clearly opposed SOPA and PIPA and always [...]

Over the past year or so, manufacturers have gone crazy with the new models, trying to one-up each other with a phone that came a week later and was 5% better.

The Consumer Electronics Show isn’t an Android specific event, but Android has been one of the stars of the show of late.
