Orange Pixel, the folks who brought us the Megaman-inspired game MegaNoid, have released their next game for Android. It’s called Stardash and I would most definitely liken it to Super Mario Bros. The interesting thing with this game is that it goes back even further in terms of style and look. We’ve got sort of [...]
Installing applications from the market is one thing, but keeping them up to date with the most current version is a whole other piece. Most developers are constantly working behind the scenes to improve their applications, and every so often they drop a new version for us all in the Android market, and installing them [...]

Now, I wont pretend to know too much about Orange in the UK, other than they’re one of the biggest wireless carriers overseas. Apparently this wireless carrier is so big, that they actually release their own branded devices from time to time. Take this Monte Carlo for instance, which is basically a rebranded ZTE Skate [...]
It isn’t that Motorola is going to release a Gingerbread update for the Atrix, but that they plan to intend to do it. I know that the British speak a different type of English than Americans but this one is a bit of a laugh. Speaking to electricpig.co.uk at yesterdays Atrix launch on Orange [...]

G2 and Evo go global T-Mobile UK seem to be making a habit of being first when it comes to Android phones; the moment HTC announced that their G2 and the Evo models would be going international, T-Mo were ready with pricing plans. The handsets, re-branded as the Desire Z (G2) and the Desire HD [...]
Best of both worlds Orange and T-Mobile UK joined forces earlier this to year to, in effect, become one company. However they retained their original branding because traditionally both carriers have appealed to different sectors of the market. This left many of us wondering what the point of it all was (the merger, not existence). [...]
Romanian smartphones getting smarter Huawei are one of those companies that a few years a go you might not have heard of but whose name you now hear on a daily basis.

Sony secure soccer sponsorship Soccer players in the UK and Europe can get paid the same astronomical wages that basketball players do in the states.

Vodafone lose the plot The beauty of Android, well one of the beauties, is the level to which you can customize your handset.

Streak growing up Its amazing how quickly things move in this business. I was mucking around with my Dell Streak last night when it struck me how ‘old fashioned’ Android 1.6 felt. Thankfully O2 UK are going to bring some modernity next month to the Streak’s otherwise perfectly respectable 5 inches of mutlitouch, hi-res screen [...]
Galaxy S Vodafone offer as good as it sounds? Vodafone are becoming adept at utilising social media as part of their sales strategy and their use of twitter to advertise special offers has not only been successful but has got everyone talking.

Froyo coming to International Galaxy S in September I flashed my Galaxy S with the unofficial 2.2 ROM as soon as it became available, but no matter how many times I do it, installing unofficial software on an expensive new toy is always a nerve-wracking half an hour or so – the G1 shaped paperweight [...]
A Hero’s Tale We reported yesterday on how UK HTC Hero users were using Facebook to voice their anger and hurt at having been left out in the cold when it came to the 2.1 update. Hot on the heels of our report and probably inspired by it, Orange announced that the update was going [...]
BBC On The Move Its not an exaggeration to say that one of the biggest stumbling blocks to Rupert Murdoch’s evil pay-wall scheme has been the BBC. The quality and quantity of their free coverage makes paying for news a rather silly exercise. The BBC Trust, an executive group straight from the pages of a [...]
UK Hero Owners Get Vocal If you’re with Orange UK (that’s pronounced ‘Oh-rahnj’ BTW) and you have an HTC Hero, then the chances are you’re fed up with not having received the 2.1 update yet, despite the fact your European cousins have been basking in the glow of their live wallpapers for some time.
