Motorola Droid Kernels v0.3 Released by Peter Alfonso
The OG Droid as some call it is in fact the original Motorola Droid that was hugely popular over on Verizon. I still see the Droid more than almost any other Android I think. If you have rooted or toyed with your Droid most likely you know the name Peter Alfonso, he is the man that has been keeping the Droid chugging along for a while. With stock [...]
Google+ Widget Included with Google+ App, Pretty Sweet
It’s becoming quite clear that the folks who designed the user interface for Google+ are quite brilliant. One of those people was Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original designers of the first Mac, so I’d hope so. One of the lesser-realized elements in the mobile app portion of the Google+ is the widget, a rather simple and super lovely [...]
Motorola Xoom Back as eBay Daily Deal, 32GB Wi-Fi for $499
The Motorola Xoom is back as the daily deal over at eBay but it wont last long so you better hurry. If you missed it the Galaxy Tab 10.1 32GB was up yesterday for only a few dollars more. This price at eBay of $499 sure is nice considering the 32GB Xoom is still rocking a $599 price tag at most places. It may not be as thin as the Galaxy Tab or [...]
Rhetorical Questions: Carriers and Their Android Endeavors
Plenty of questions come to mind when it comes to the various carriers and their Android endeavors. Some seem to get it right more often than not while others have been playing from behind (ahem, AT&T) since day one. Others seem to really want to the platform to help push them over the the hump. I'm looking right at you, [...]
Dual-Core Motorola MT870 Headed for China
Another variation on the dual-core theme is headed to China in the form of the Motorola MT870. It’s the second dual-core handset from Moto announced for the country, following the Milestone 3. That is where the similarities end (for the most part). The MT870 rocks an NVIDIA Tegra 2 clocked at 1GHz, a 4-inch qHD display, and 512MB of RAM, all [...]
TeamWin Finds EVO 3D Exploit, Root May Be Coming Soon
You may not know who TeamWin is but they are the guys that brought things like WIMAX and HDMI Mirror to CM7 for the EVO. They are hard at work but they have families and jobs just like the rest of us and this will take time. According to a few tweets along with an already huge thread over at XDA they have found an exploit in the kernel used on the [...]
Get Your Google+ Invite from AndroidCommunity!
Google just launched their new social networking plan and they are calling it Google+. With the million of Android owners and Gmail users and the rest of the population using some sort of product of Google, they seem to be in a good spot right about now. Google has already developed a great mobile application for Android and an iOS version is on [...]
Soc.io Mall Offers Android-based Multimedia Store – Win or Fake?
This is quite the interesting turn – Giga Market Ltc and Seavus Group have whipped up a new “mall” for Android that, if appearances are true, will take the rest of the app stores out there and throw them directly in the trash. This is Soc.io mall, an Android-based application and multimedia portal where you can purchase and [...]
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Hits the FCC with AT&T Radios
We have seen the Galaxy Tab’s smaller sibling the Galaxy Tab 8.9 in the FCC before, but the latest FCC filing recently uncovered shows the 8.9″ variety running with what might be AT&T radios. They might also be for Canadian carriers but we can hope for AT&T right? Earlier in the month we heard of possible production delays [...]
PowerSkin offers HTC Sensation and ThunderBolt Battery Boosters in Slick Octopus Lining
Ever since we first saw and experienced the massiveness of the battery extension for the HTC ThunderBolt, it’s been a bit of an issue for the Android public to rectify the extending of said battery in the ThunderBolt and in every other Android whose connection speed and/or abilities to provide excellent day to day Android awesomeness have [...]
