Flash 10.1 Coming In June, Will Be Previewed At Google I/O, Maybe Froyo As Well
Yesterday, Adobe publicly closed their Apple and iPhone chapter for their Flash and AIR book in an official blog post.

MSI Tablet To Come In June, Dual-Screen Delayed Until Later In The Year
AndroidAuthority is reporting that MSI is planning to bring us two tablet devices in Q3. We’re not sure if one of these is the same tablet we saw at this year’s CES, but given its “second half” expected launch window, we’re just going to assume as much. Planned are 8.9-inch and 10-inch variations, however there still [...]
Using an Android phone’s sensors
Accessing the sensor data of a phone, is not too complicated, but since API level 3, a lot of things got deprecated. Using only the emulator, you have only a few (here is one) options, to simulate sensor data. I would recommend the use of a physical phone.

Dell Aero confirmed to offer all of Google’s apps

G1 gamepad modded from Atari 7800 Joypad
Looks like there are still a few people modding the good ole G1. This time, a user has modded a gamepad controller to work with the first Android device to hit the market. It looks like it works very well also, video after the break. Unlike the gamepad that we have seen for the Droid, not much is known about this mod. There’s no information [...]
Adobe Ready to Deliver Flash in June
Late yesterday saw Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch take to the official blog to reiterate the company's recent stance on mobile platforms. No longer interested in working with Apple, Adobe has decided to move forward with other mobile operating systems, specifically Android. It's no longer a secret that Flash will be integrated into the next release of [...]
Vodafone UK Google Nexus One available now
Vodafone UK have put the Google Nexus One up for sale, and there’s no sign of the stock delay reported earlier this week. The launch marks the first time the Nexus One has been available through a UK carrier rather than demanding buyers import a device from Google in the US. As for price, that’s likely enough to make US Nexus One [...]

Initially promised for the end of April by Orange UK, a combination of volcanic ash and firmware issues have seen the Android 2.1 smartphone delayed. Now, Android Community tipster Chris has let us know that the black Desire is expected to arrive early next week. That’s come straight [...]
