Epic 4G Keyboard, Asphalt & Multimedia [VIDEO DEMOS]

Author : admin Published: June 30th, 2010

There are a LOT of similarities between the four Galaxy S phones recently announced by Samsung, but there are also a bunch of differences. One of the most distinct and noticeable differences is the full slideout QWERTY keyboard on the Epic 4G. As some people are stuck on QWERTYs I thought I’d give it a whirl on video to share my specific [...]

Droid X Pre-Orders Abruptly Halted Due to Low Inventory Levels?

Author : admin Published: June 30th, 2010

This one hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but a little rumor is starting to spread that Motorola Droid X pre-orders at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile locations were closed down today due to overwhelming demand. It would seem the number of phones that will be ready to ship come July 15th has been surpassed by the number of Droid-thirsty [...]

Motorola FLIPOUT Launches in Brazil

Author : admin Published: June 30th, 2010

Just in time for Brazilians to get all social and tweety about how well their nation’s team is doing in the World Cup, Motorola has announced their MOTOBLUR-driven squat and square Android known as the FLIPOUT for the South American country (why they insist on BILLY MAYS-ing all of their product names is beyond me). There isn’t a [...]

Author : admin Published: June 30th, 2010

With most of the Android faithful still waiting on Android 2.2 (and some even still waiting on Android 2.1) for their devices, we’ve apparently gotten first details of the supposed Android 3.0 updated (supposedly codenamed Gingerbread). We’ve long heard that we wouldn’t see this crunchy, sweet, gingery treat until the latter [...]

Galaxy S: Samsung Captivate vs Fascinate vs EPIC 4G vs Vibrant [VIDEO]

Author : admin Published: June 30th, 2010

What I dislike MOST about the American Galaxy S devices are the naming schema: they wanted to keep the Galaxy S brand but obviously each carrier needed their own little brandable baby. Intentions acknowledged, but it’s confusing as heck to consumers and technically irritating to repeatedly explain. For the record, I think Samsung should have [...]

Surprise! Motorola Delays Cliq, Cliq XT 2.1 Update on Last Day of Quarter!

Author : admin Published: June 30th, 2010

If you didn't see this coming, you are a liar. As much as everyone wanted to believe Motorola would roll Android 2.1 out to Cliq and Cliq XT handsets this quarter, we really didn't expect it to happen. Official word coming out of the handset maker is that the update is being pushed back indefinitely. Awesome. Nothing quite like waiting until [...]

Samsung Confirms Galaxy S Series Phones to See Android 2.2

Author : admin Published: June 30th, 2010

Samsung was in New York last night to official kick off the various Galaxy S handsets headed for your (US) carrier of choice. Without giving us the prices and launch dates we'd been hoping for, we're left waiting on carriers to make announcements. T-Mobile is the first out of the gate, pegging the Vibrant with a July 21st launch and $200 price [...]

Rumor: Android 3.0 “Gingerbread” to Have Minimum Hardware Requirements

According to rumors currently hitting the internet, the Android team will be imposing specific hardware requirements on handsets if they expect to run Android 3.0. Rumored to be the Gingerbread release, this could go a long way to ensuring handsets don't quickly fall by the wayside. What sort of requirements are we looking at? Well, let's [...]
