The Best Cell Phone Is…
(do not scroll to the comments, it will spoil the surprise!) CNET just had their “expert” cell phone guy Kent German do a video of the BEST 5 Cellphones. Not top value. Not most popular. THE BEST. I want you to guess where Android is on this list of the Top 5. Then I want you to watch the video. Here is a hint… #5 – Palm [...]
HTC Tattoo Video Overview By Arne
Look who got their hands on the HTC Tattoo – Arne from TheUnwired! He put together a quick video overview of the device for your viewing pleasure but we can’t embed it… so you’ll have to visit their site to check it out (you’re killin’ us Arne!). I love how he pronounces it “tuh-two” (seriously, I [...]

Folks all over the Androidosphere are freaking out about the cease and desist order Android modder extraordinaire Cyanogen reportedly received from Google. It’s disappointing, but honestly, not terribly surprising. Let’s all step back, take a couple deep breaths, and count to ten. Feel a little better? Okay, now let’s look at [...]
Cyanogen Gets C&D From Google
I was reluctant to make this post. Not because I have allegiances or loyalties, but because it is a touchy legal situation that I have only heard about… I don’t have first hand details. Before I write an article like this, where I really WANT to voice my opinion, I want to have my facts straight. There is nothing worse than going off [...]
Quick Look: BuzzDeck
Yesterday we mentioned a new app from mippin called BuzzDeck which is their entry into the second Android Developers Challenge. Due out early next week, I wanted to give you guys a sneak preview of the app. It’s an excellent title that responds very well on my G1. There are enough “Stream Cards” to keep one occupied for a [...]
Motorola’s “Derivative Version” of Android
The MOTODEV podcast popped up in my Google Listen “Android” search results today, and I heard something really interesting in this week’s edition. Jason Warren, part of Motorola’s software product management team, talked about the Cliq and in general about what Moto is doing with Android. He said the Cliq is “the [...]
The Washington Post looks at Sprint HTC Hero
The Washington Post has looked at the Sprint HTC Hero mobile phone and says that the handset is a big leap for Sprint and its Android line in hardware and software. However, the handset isn’t perfect with notable flaws like slow performance, unreliable video playback, and a hard to use touch keyboard. The publication points out that the Sprint [...]
Android not there yet?
Android has been on the market for a year now and according to the San Francisco Chronicle the Os is still “not there yet.” With all the Android handsets and other devices being launched onto the market and the buzz that Android devices are creating it is hard to see where the OS is failing though it still needs a few [...]
Don’t Hold Your Breath…
..because I don’t think we will ever see Google itself manufacture a handset for Android. One of the pieces of buzz right now is how people are wishing that Google would be like Apple and create a piece of hardware that will run the Android system at its best. While I would LOVE to see that, we have to remember that Google is not in the [...]
App Review: Contacts GroupU
This simple yet highly functional application syncs Google contact groups to a user’s phone. In addition, it also provides full options for editing and creating new groups from the convenience of your handheld device. Groups you create using Contact GroupU are actually synced back to your Gmail account. Overall, the UI left me wishing it [...]
