This definitely is the age of Android and the iOS (not to mention Windows Phone 7), but it hasn’t been too long to forget a popular device such as the Touch Pro 2.  It seems like HTC hasn’t forgetten too and the QWERTY-toting Touch Pro 2 now has an update, although the company fails to tell us exactly what it brings.  The only info on it is that it “updates the system stability” and if you are still rocking this old gun, you might want to check it out. The file is only about 156 Kilobytes, so we are guessing […]

Announced at the MWC this year, the Desire S definitely brings many improvements to its popular predecessor, the HTC Desire.  The updated device is now available in the UK via Orange and can be purchased across the country in Orange stores. Being slimmer in form than the Desire, the Desire S also features: 3.7-inch 480×800 Gorilla glass SuperLCD multitouch display 1GHz Scorpion processor with 768MB RAM and Adreno 205 GPU Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system out of the box 5MP camera with 720p video recording and secondary VGA camera aGPS, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, DLNA and Bluetooth connectivity Stereo FM radio All

The fastest horse in the AT&T stable will be available on Amazon for just $50 this weekend.  The offer is limited to this particular weekend, so if you have had your eye on the Atrix 4G but couldn’t scrape up the $200 you need to plop down in an AT&T store to own the device, this is your chance.  You’ll still need to sign away two years of your mobile freedom to the said carrier though. The price definitely seems cheap for a phone that was the first to come with a dual-core processor, and its other features aren’t light

It’s European counterpart, the Desire Z, is already on the list to get Gingerbread by the end of June, but will the T-Mobile G2 get the same treatment? It seems so, according to Computer World.  An HTC official confirmed the news on the phone to them and as usual, gave them a vague Q2 2011 time frame.  Still, this seems in sync with HTC’s official announcement for the other Desire series phones and we could well be seeing the G2 getting upgraded to Android 2.3 at the same time as its other variants. As of now, only the Nexus One

Motorola’s take on the Android tablet, the Xoom, is now available in Canada.  The WiFi-only device is ready for purchase online from Best Buy and Future Shop and across stores in the country.  You should already know what the Xoom is made of but just in case: 1GHz dual-core processor 1GB RAM 10.1-inch Widescreen HD display 5-megapixel rear camera with a 2MP front-facing camera for video chat Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system WiFi, Bluetooth and HDMI-out for connectivity You’ll need to put down $599.99 to take the Motorola Xoom WiFi home but if you are waiting for the 3G+WiFi version,

Released in November 2010 on AT&T, the Motorola Bravo has been stuck with Android 2.1 Eclair operating system since its release.  But it seems that the situation may not remain so for long and Motorola is actually giving an opportunity to participate in the process and in turn get the Froyo update out the door sooner (or so we think).  The company has invited 1000 Bravo users to experiment with an Android 2.2 build for the said device and other than enjoying in-browser Flash and the option to move apps to the SD cards, all they would need to is

Though not the kind of update (3.0 Honeycomb?) you might be looking for, it is an update nonetheless and brings a few improvements to the popular Samsung tablet.  Weighing in at 34.6MB, the update should already be available for all Verizon users, so look for the notification if you haven’t already.  Some of the improvements include: Searching for Wi-Fi hotspots no longer negatively affects battery life. Access hyperlinks directly within email messages. Send multiple name cards with the “Select All” feature. Successfully open 5MB video attachments from email messages. Adobe Flash Player version has been updated to version 10.1.95.2. Fixed

If it’s a wallet-friendly droid phone you are looking for on US Cellular, the Samsung Gem should fit the bill perfectly.  After being adopted by Alltel, the Gem is now available on US Cellular, going for a mere $29.99 with a new contract.  The feature set befits the light price tag and includes: 3.2 inch multitouch display 800MHz processor US Cellular network support with CDMA Rev. A 3G of up to 3.1Mbps Android 2.1 Eclair operating system 3.15MP camera with video recording aGPS and Bluetooth connectivity 124MB internal memory with microSD expansion to 16GB Head over to US Cellular to

As if its dual-core Cortex A9 1GHz processor wasn’t powerful enough, news has now come in that Samsung’s announced pack leader, the Galaxy S II, will be further upgraded to 1.2GHz, again with dual cores.  The stepup would not only make it the leader in the Samsung camp but also among the other Android smartphones with ARM Cortex processors.  This important bit of info was revealed due to a slipup by Samsung on its Estonian Facebook page, and was further confirmed by an “internal source” to GSMArena. There’s no change in its other features including its Mali 400 GPU, 1GB

We had it marked down for the 20th of April on our calendars, but it looks like we will see the Optimus G2X released well before that date (at least according to Android Central).  Android Central has received a snapshot revealing the rebranded-for-T-Mobile Optimus 2x scheduled for a release on April 15th although the exact price seems to have been left out. The same snapshot also reveals that the LG G-Slate with its 3D display and Honeycomb OS will be priced at $529.99 with a two-year contract and after a mail-in rebate, but in this case, the little piece of

Don’t get us wrong, we like the uberfast downloads that LTE/4G networks allow and equally love the HTC Thunderbolt, but with its 1400mAH battery, the device just doesn’t last for more than about 2 hours if under constant use. Viable solutions could include an extra battery pack but a better option would the ability to switch off 4G and surf the 3G waves for a while, a fair tradeoff for longer lasting battery life. Enter LTE OnOFF, an app which does just that. Developed by AndIRC, this free application gives Thunderbolt users the capability to turn off 4G and switch

A few days back, Three UK had announced that it will starting pushing out Gingerbread Android 2.3 update to the HTC Desire, most probably in late April/early May.   The UK carrier seems to be in a really good mood nowadays as once again, they have announced on Twitter that yet another device on their network, the Galaxy S, will be getting the 2.3 update OTA in “a couple of weeks.”  That is no more specific than the announcement for the Desire but it still does give Three UK users a vague time frame to expect the update. The European version

With only a few hours to go before the official launch event, it seems like Boost Mobile just couldn’t wait to show off the newest acquisition for its network – the Galaxy Prevail.  This low-end smartphone from Samsung has been exposed on its official site and while it brings nothing special to write home about, it definitely suits the $179.99 price tag it wears.  The Galaxy Prevail features: CDMA radio for Boost Mobile’s CDMA network Android 2.2 Froyo operating system 3.2-inch touchscreen display 2-megapixel camera GPS and Bluetooth connectivity Like we said, not much but could do for a secondary

The app may be designed for the tablet version of Android, but it seems to play nice with smaller displays too.  Apparently, a writer over at TechFrom10 was fortuitous enough to somehow get a test market on to his phone and with a  little more digging, unearthed the 3.0.336 music player embedded.  The app brings a “Recent” section that is complete with album previews and features a revamped UI with a currently non-working streaming music service included. Download it here and get a sneak peak at a little part of Android 3.0 on your smartphone. Source
