The Hero has a rival… Check out the new Sony Ericsson Rachael (will probably launch under an Xperia-ish name), Sony’s first Android device (and possibly their saving grace). The phone has some monster specs that have been leaked as well as a nice shell to hold them all in: Processor: Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon platform, that provides a 1GHz CPU and dedicated graphics acceleration Wifi, 3G, and GPS a given. 8MP Camera 3.5mm Audio Out and a 4 inch WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) Capacitive Touchscreen! Drooling yet? Get a napkin, there’s more. Check out the pics of the body styling and […]

Yes, that is right. G1 and/or Magic users might be getting an upgrade with the Rosie UI in it (HTC is now calling it Sense UI). The UI is basically what TouchFlo was for Windows Mobile and we love it! People at XDA have been trying to port the UI over to the G1 and Magic for some time now, but it just isn’t quite working as well as hoped (no disrespect to the XDA Devs). But with this new announcement from HTC CEO, Peter Chou, “HTC sense will be available on some other existing devices.” G1 and Magic users

We do too. Well, if you have a G1 we have a way you can try it out! Only problem is that it doesn’t run very well… but if you know what you’re doing and are just HAVE to try it, go for it. Steps below. PLEASE Keep in mind, that the G1 has some 90MBs of RAM less

The new HTC Hero was finally announced (so you G1 users trying to load the leaked Hero ROM onto your G1’s can finally see what it would run like with the beefed up specs the Hero brings to the table). Unlike the Magic, the Hero actually seems to bring something new to the table (besides just losing the keyboard like the Magic did over the G1). It has a nice chunk more RAM (288mb instead of the 192mb the G1 has), a better camera (5.0MP instead of the 3.2MP), and what seems to be the most noticable new feature; the

It’s not that the cute little robot has to get poked like the Pilsbury dough boy for you to first use the phone, it’s the fact that when you save applications from the Market (part of the large appeal of the Android OS), it saves them to the phone’s internal memory instead of the SD card.

T-Mobile’s second Google Android device has been seen in the wild (with T-Mobile branding and all). So we think this little guy is just around the corner. Question is… does anyone care? The phone has identical features to the G1 as far as we can tell, only difference is that the keyboard has been removed and the phone is now a bit more sleek. This will be great for people who don’t mind not having a keyboard and hated the looks of the G1 (can’t blame them too much on the latter, not the prettiest device). But current G1 owners?

Apple annouced today that their new incarnation of the iPhone will be the new iPhone 3GS (the S stands for speed and we’ll get to that later). The looks of the phone are almost identical to the iPhone 3G except for it being a bit heavier and will have a new “fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating” on the back. Here is a chart from Engadget showing the differences from the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3GS - Here As far as we can tell, the only added features are: Digital Compass Different backing (“fingerprint resistive”) 3.0MP camera (iPhone 3G had a 2.0MP) The ability

“Does this phone support Flash?” “Can I goto YouTube without using some YouTube program?” “Does the internet look like it does on my computer?” For most phones the answer to this questions is a resounding “No”. And the reasoning behind the No is the fact that most phones just don’t support Flash. YouTube runs on Flash, most embeded videos, banners, and a lot of games  also run on Flash so without Flash support in the a phone, the phone simply cannot run these things. But there is some hope, Adobe, the makers of Flash, have just announced that they have
