Philips V808 Gets OPhone Treatment, China Mobile Exclusive
We got our hopes up and now we’re let down - the Philips V808 Android phone that we just heard about has some disappointing news. First of all, the phone will be exclusively available on China Mobile. Secondly, it will have China Mobile’s proprietary Android build called the OPhone which is more iPhone-like and alledgedly utilizes [...]
Acer Android Netbook Delayed, Possibly Terminated
We’ve hear SO much about Android Netbooks over the past year, often courtesy of Acer. They joined the Open Handset Alliance in June and the world is waiting for the unannounced Acer A1 Android Phone and an Acer Android Netbook for August Launch. The latter of those won’t happen in August… and might not EVER happen. According to [...]
Official Facebook App Right Around the Corner
The Hatfield and McCoy feud that is Google and Facebook seems to have cooled a tad. Well, by that we mean the official Facebook app is coming to Android shortly. Perhaps even in the next few days. We’ve seen some excellent Facebook titles for Android so far in apps like Bloo and Babbler so it will be interesting to see what happens once [...]

Creative has announced a new PMP called the Zii Egg Plaszma that is actually very cool — other than its name. The device is a near dead ringer for the iPod touch, which is its [...]
Philips’ first Android handset spied
When Android first hit the market on the G1 for T-Mobile most providers and manufacturers were playing a wait and see game. Now that the OS has hit its stride new devices running Android are popping up like weeds. Philips has an Android device that has leaked onto the Web from China. The details are scant, but the device is called the V808 and [...]
Zii EGG: Sweet Android with Unfortunate Name
The main downfall of this phone could be the name - it sounds like something a French guy would say on Easter Sunday. But joking aside, Zii EGG is a pretty big story that shows how Android is and will allow smaller innovative companies (Zii Labs) to breakthrough the barriers to entry in the mobile market and provide consumers with compelling [...]
Introducing Creative’s Zii EGG
