The half-year-old AT&T device has been enjoying Froyo for a while now and it looks like Motorola has now deemed it fit to get a bite at the Gingerbread update.  While the news is still not official, the update is currently being tested for the Atrix 4G, which is a sure indication of the what’s to come very soon. The update was implied on early last month but it was more of an intention than a concrete roll-out plan, but with testing currently underway, July seems to be a likely month for the update to begin rolling out.  Alongside the

Announced barely 24 hours earlier, the Xperia Ray has already found an adopter on the other side of the Atlantic.  The Android smartphone has now been announced to become available on Three UK in the third quarter of this year, as revealed by Sony Ericsson yesterday. Features haven’t changed from what we reported yesterday but if you missed them, head over to the earlier post to know more.  You can still expect the same 1GHz processor, 3.3 inch touchscreen display with Sony’s BRAVIA engine, an 8MP shooter, and Android 2.3 operating system as its highlights. We’ll continue to get you

AT&T has now announced a new Android device for its future lineup – the LG Thrill 4G.  The press release was decidedly sparse on important details like the availability and pricing, but at the least, this announcement should give AT&T users something to look forward to. The Thrill 4G is actually not a new phone but a rebranded LG Optimus 3D – so if you know the Optimus 3D, you pretty much know what the Thrill 4G is all about.  And since the Optimus 3D hasn’t seen the light of the day yet, we could expect the Thrill 4G to

The $99 price tag does sound tempting, but beware, there are a few limitations you should know about before you even start thinking about getting the Arnova 7 from, well, Arnova.  First off, the tablet runs Android 2.2, so if you are looking for the latest build of Honeycomb or even think this might be upgraded in the future, you will be wrong on both counts here.  And then there’s the Android Market, or the lack thereof – the device only has access to AppsLib store instead of the original Android Market, giving you access to about 38771 apps out

If you have a rooted phone, you should have at some point or another become frustrated with the number of apps you need to use separately to manage your apps, browser your files, install/uninstall apps and many other functions in your daily use of your Android device.  Wish you could have a unified approach to all these functions which could be dealt with from one single application?  Enter Android Optimizer, an app that does all of the above and more, developed by coatiantupi over at XDA Forums. Here are a few components that the Android Optimizer has: Device scan Apps

It seems that the N9 wasn’t the only MeeGo device that’s been cooked up in the Nokia labs recently.  The device in the video above, codenamed the N950, is actually the developer-only version of the N9 and will be available for a reserved few, and that too if they are in the right developer community. Feature-wise, the N950 seems similar to the N9, except for a few changes that make this a better/worse device than the N9.  The handset features a full slide-out QWERTY keypad, aluminum housing and a 4-inch LCD touchscreen display (compared to the 3.9 incher on the

This news should definitely get some Cricket Wireless customers happy, who have had to make do with low to mid-range devices until now.  The Huawei Glory (or the Huawei M886 if you prefer numbers to fancy names) features a pretty fast 1.4GHz processor and although whether this is dual cored or not is debatable, this would still be the fastest processor we have seen from Huawei and in turn, the fastest Android phone than usual Cricket users have seen lately. Other features include a 4-inch WVGA multitouch display, an 8MP camera, WiFi, GPS, 2GB of onboard storage, and a hefty

Sony Ericsson today announced three new handsets – two of which are additions to its Xperia Android smartphone lineup – the Xperia Ray and Active.  The third, the SE TXT, on the other hand, may not be an Android device but isn’t entirely dumb either – it features a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 2.6-inch scratch-resistant touchscreen display, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a full QWERTY portrait keypad that can be used to send texts in a jiffy or chat away with the built-in Google Talk/Facebook app – still no proper OS means a lot of limitations and more importantly, no Angry Birds! The

There’s no carrot hanging here like before, but Cellular South seems to be expanding its mobile OS horizons further, with the addition of its first Windows Phone 7 now.  The QWERTY device is available currently from the carrier and can be taken home for $199.99 after a reward card rebate of $50, with a two-year contract included. Coming to its specs, $200 you put down will get you a device loaded with a 3.6-inch display, a 5MP camera, 1GHz Scorpion processor aided by an Adreno 200 GPU and 448MB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and an FM radio to

The Droid X has already seen itself upgraded to Gingerbread officially, but for those who like the extra tweaks that CM7 brings, cvpcs of RootzWiki has developed a ROM catering to just those needs.  The chef has brewed up a pretty solid build except for a few kinks – a non-working camera and sporadically working YouTube app. The torch app also tends to force-close a lot, but this is something that can be lived with compared to the former defects and overall, makes this a usable CM7 ROM.  That said, the dev in question is still working on it and

As the document above clearly suggests, HTC Sensation 4G won’t be the only one hogging all the limelight tomorrow.  There’s one more Android phone from Samsung as well that will join T-Mobile on June 15th, but with a far less impressive spec sheet.  The Samsung Dart (model number: t499) will have a 3mpx camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, a touchscreen display of unknown size, and comes bundled with a 2GB microSD card and Skype preinstalled.  The OS of choice seems to be Android 2.2, which is not surprising considering what’s on offer in terms of hardware. Not much, we know, but it

The iOS5 may have been freed from Apple’s clutches in record time, but it still took a while to get the jailbreak nicely packed and ready for general use.  The time has now come and Mac users can now jailbreak their devices which recently took the jump up to iOS5 beta, thanks to Redsn0w 0.9.8b1 by the Dev-Team.  You’ll still have to connect your device to a Mac every time you reboot, which is a pain, but better than not having your iPhone/iPad unlocked at all. There have been reports of some features breaking with this beta version, so you

The specs are the same as the original Optimus Black – 4 inch NOVA display, 5MP rear lens with a 2mpx secondary cam, and Android 2.2 OS to name a few.  But the one difference is the Skype branding, which seems needless if you consider that anyone with a capable Android handset can download the app for free via the Market.  Nevertheless, the Skyped Optimus Black is headed for Telus some time in the summer and users buying this special edition will get the Skype app preinstalled and a free $2 credit in their Skype account.  These users will also
