We saw the entire new LG Optimus L-series at this year’s Mobile World Congress, and even had some hands-on time with each of the three. Rogers has confirmed that the Optimus L7 will be part of its ‘Smartphone Lite’ category. In case you aren’t familiar with their Smartphone Lite package, it’s tuned for people that [...]
During Apple’s unveiling of the iPad 3, newly appointed Apple CEO Tim Cook made some pretty harsh comments about Android, and was very quick to use some unproven and some completely FALSE statements to make their newest offering appear to be the only real consumer choice when it came to buying a tablet. While [...]
Back in October of last year, Motorola unveiled the MOTOACTV; a wristwatch-like device that helps you measure how effective you workout to particular songs. It syncs with your smartphone for access to missed calls, text messages, and even email. Motorola had planned on rolling out the update today, but decided against it and is now [...]

The Google Play Store is rolling out to Android devices as we speak, erasing any memory of a destination once known as the Android Market. The apps, games, movies, and music all stay the same, but we’re now dealing with a new name and slightly new look (love it or hate it). If your getting [...]
Is AT&T set to get a popular slider phone for its wireless waves? It sure appears to be the case as a “Motorola Mobility XT682″ has just received filing approval from the FCC. In case you’re unfamiliar, the “XT682″ is the codename for none other than the DROID 3 smartphone. Moreover, the device has gotten [...]
According to sources close to Korean news site MT.co.kr, Sony plans on releasing a new LTE smartphone in the second half of this year. Not to be confused with the Xperia Ion which is already slated for international release, this will be an entirely new device and will be heading to South Korea as early [...]
Yesterday, Samsung announced a new entry-level smartphone for the UK market, the Galaxy Pocket. The Galaxy Pocket is a tiny phone with not a lot of power. It features a small 2.8-inch display (wow, that is tiny!), an 800MHz processor, a 2-megapixel rear camera, 3GB of internal storage with expansion up to 32GB via [...]
Just last month, right before Valentines day, we got wind of a ‘Berry Pink’ colored Samsung Galaxy Note. At that time we were unsure whether or not the device would actually make it to markets, but given that we have already seen the Galaxy S II receive the feminine treatment, it wasn’t completely out of [...]

“Ideas worth spreading” is the tagline for TED so if that doesn’t motivate you, I don’t know what will. The official TED app is now available in the Android Market. It allows you to steam videos or audio talks to your smartphone or tablet. There are more that 1200 TEDTalk videos and audios available. Some [...]
Ever wonder what smooshing Android into something the size of a traditional “feature” phone would look like? Gaze upon the Galaxy Pocket, and wonder no more. Samsung’s latest budget smartphone features a tiny 2.8-inch screen running (almost surprisingly) Android 2.3 Gingerbread and TouchWiz. The unlocked international phone doesn’t have a price or release date yet, [...]
Forget about all of the latest rumors about Samsung’s upcoming flagship Android phone, aka the Galaxy S III. Will we see a 4.8-inch HD display, a 1.5GHz Exynos quad-core chip or a ceramic back? Maybe… Unless, Samsung tells us what they’ll use as far as components are concerned, no one knows anything about what the [...]
Another day, Android Too Much Android, AndroidPIT’s look back at the events of the day in brief. Today in TMA: Samsung to roll out first official Android 4.0 update for the Galaxy S2, Android 6.0 gets a name and Google shows off a cool new patent. Ice Cream Sandwich-> Jelly Bean-> Key Lime Pie?

Verizon has just debuted a series of videos showing off their 4G capabilities across the U.S. In the ad, a spunky, in-yo-face spokeswoman challenges regular folks to a smartphone 4G throw down. Predictably, Verizon wins every round. While I’m happy to see that carriers are competing on the basis of their download speeds, I find [...]
The war on data throttling has been raging on for what seems like forever, with many users left furious that their carrier would slow data speeds to a crawl after X amount of gigabytes (usually two). While most carriers draw a clear line as to when throttling will occur, AT&T has taken a rather shady [...]
The need to make the world’s thinnest smartphone may be starting a new trend – batteries which cannot be removed from a smartphone. One of the first Android smartphones to incorporate non-removable batteries was the Motorola Droid RAZR. While I actually like the Droid RAZR overall, I find not being able to remove the battery [...]
Back in the early days of Android, HTC’s Sense UI really stood out as a much-needed step up in the UI department, compared both to stock Android and to competitors custom UIs. Like a hard-partying rock star, though, it just didn’t age well; it went from sleek, helpful, and attractive, to bloated and borderline obtrusive. [...]

If you hadn’t already checked out the Samsung Galaxy Beam, it is Samsung’s first device that combines a pico projector into an Android smartphone. Though a mid-range device, it is sure to turn some heads. We’ve just found out that it should hit the UK this July for £385 (0). It will initially launch unlocked, [...]
Awwwwww, the Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 is a cute little bugger. It's a little bizarre going from a world of 5-inch-plus smartphones down to the diminutive Galaxy Mini 2, but darned if it doesn't feel kinda nice in the hand, kinda like you're holding a little child by the hand, waiting to show it through [...]

The Samsung Galaxy Note has been out for a couple of weeks now, and it seems people either love it or hate it. With a size fitting in somewhere between a smartphone and a tablet, the 5.3-inch device even comes with a stylus, which we thought went out of style years ago. There are advantages [...]
Verizon Wireless’s aggressive LTE rollouts are a continued effort, but they decided to take some time today to reflect on their progress so far. They boast that over 200 million Americans are covered with 4G, which is more than two-thirds of the population. They also went on to state that 5% of their consumer base, [...]
Oh, how I wish I were in Barcelona right now. The guys over at The Verge got a chance to play around with the Asus PadFone. The PadFone is a combination of two devices that work together to create pure awesomeness. The first part of the PadFone is the smartphone, which features a 4.3-inch Super [...]
The not-so-new ASUS PadFone has just been announced at MWC, and we know some of you may be dying to get your hands all over it. So are we. But ASUS has given us a bit of a tease while we wait, with a new commercial called “Expand Your World.” The video displays 2:38 minutes [...]
It's been a long, long time since we've seen the words “Galaxy S” without a II folowed closely thereafter. But that's exactly what we have here in the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G. Don't let it fool you, though, it's got 2011's specs — better known as Galaxy II specs. And for what it [...]
Verizon customers will want to keep an eye on their inboxes today, as big red has begun sending emails to select customers offering a free upgrade to Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus, Stratosphere, or Motorola’s Droid RAZR with a new 2-year agreement. The email is presumably being sent out to those customers who have a 3G-only plan, [...]

Yesterday Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Beam, which is a smartphone with a 15 lumens projector. This is nothing new, but unfortunately phones such has these haven’t been all that successful so far. I do think it’s totally cool, but I don’t see this concept going mainstream until these projectors land on devices with higher specs. [...]

We descended upon the Huawei booth just a short while ago here in Barcelona, and there we found a whole gaggle of Huawei’s new flagship device: the Ascend D Quad. I’m calling it the DQ for short – because who doesn’t like Blizzards? Anyway, we know the DQ is packing Huawei’s first in-house processor, the [...]

Earlier today Samsung announced the Galaxy Beam, a smartphone with a 15 lumens projector that can project videos and pictures on any surface up to 50 inches in size. We’ve already seen some really cool stuff at this year’s Mobile World Congress, but this might be the coolest so far. On the downside, because of [...]
Bringing a taste of truth to age-old rumblings of an LG Nexus device, the head of LG’s Smartphone division, Ramchan Woo, has stated (in an interview with Cnet) that the manufacturer is "heavily in discussions" over a possible Nexus device, adding "we’re working on it." While this quote is compelling, Cnet rightly highlights a few [...]

Sony had quite an eventful day, today at MWC. After announcing its upcoming smartphone launches, new devices and plans for the future, we can say that we have great expectations for the company, this year.
