Android’s Room for Improvement
A lot has been written about the battle that seems to be brewing in the mobile OS world. Which is the better platform for developers? Which is more consumer friendly? Which has the best hardware? Which will be crowned champion? All interesting questions that generate lots of discussion. If history is any indicator, however, the mobile OS [...]
Pinch & Zoom Web With Dolphin Browser
Android 2.0 has multi-touch support including pinch & zoom for 3rd party applications but, for one reason or another (probably legal in nature), Google/Verizon did NOT include this capability on its core applications for the Motorola Droid. Google Maps, Webkit Browser, Picture Galleries and other features don’t allow you to use the [...]
Apple Rejects iDroid Application
This is rather hilarious. The makers of iPhone applications like Beer Pong and Spin The Bottle (Swavv) have added another title to their collection – iDroid. Unfortunately it will sit in their collection and ONLY their collection as Apple rejected it from the App Store. It isn’t surprising considering that the only thing the [...]

One of those new features is one that many were waiting for, threaded [...]
Gizmodo Source: Google Phone “Is a Certainty”
One of Gizmodo’s trusted sources claims the oft-rumored Google Phone “is a certainty” and has seen it with their own eyes. Further, they claim that we’ve yet to see the “real” Android. So if what we’ve been treated to over the last year is not the real deal, then what is? And by [...]
First Look at Android 2.1 Screen Shots
The first few images of Android 2.1 have made their way online and we’re more than pleased to share them. These pictures allegedly come from an HTC Hero running the newest build of Android. We’re excited to see this on “old” hardware like the Hero as most of today’s handsets similarly spec’d. It’s [...]
