Mozilla Firefox Fennec coming to Android in February?

Ok, so if it is one thing I miss from the Nokia N900 that my Nexus One doesn’t have (or any other phone for that matter) is a good desktop-like browser. The browser on the N900 is hands down the best I’ve used on a mobile device (but I won’t get into that right now), and things like Flash, plug-ins, and some form of an one screen mouse (for those flash games/sites that require a mouse for hovering to bring up controls) are things I find myself missing on a daily basis using other browsers. Well, the makers of the

Android Got Game

  Someone decided to take the time to put together 50 Android games and show them off on a Motorola Droid. We would like to thank that person. Not just because we get to see that the Android OS can handle some nice games with ease, but because now we have a list of 50 games to play… EDIT: It would seem that that someone, is someone at the Game Developers Conference. They also go on to say that any qualified game developers that are serious about developing games for Android may qualify for a free Android phone from Google…

Motorola MOTOSPLIT Coming?

According to sources at Engadget, they were sent a rendering of a new handset dubbed the Motorola Motosplit. This is supposedly an Android device with a Snapdragon processor and a very rare body style. The phone will open similar to some old Nokias I remember, and will have two flaps each containing half of the keypad open like French doors over the front of the phone (and covering the touchscreen perhaps). Take a look at the render: So anyone like the strange body style? Something different I guess right? Source

Soda Powered Phone… Seriously

Running out of power on your phone and no charger nearby? Well, so long as you can get to a vending machine or convenience store, not a problem. Daizi Zheng, has designed a prototype of a phone that runs on a bio battery for Nokia. Essentially the battery can take any carbohydrates and using enzymes could convert the carbohydrates into electricity (kinda like how our bodies can, creepy right?). So he demonstrates this concept by pouring a sugary soda into the phone and viola, power. Not sure how practical a sugar powered phone might be, BUT I do see a

HTC Bravo Heading to T-Mobile UK

The HTC Bravo, which is basically the Nexus One with multitouch, HTC’s Sense UI, and an optical trackpad instead of trackball, is confirmed to be heading to T-Mobile UK in mid-March (round the same time as 3 Sweden is getting it).

Nexus One Simple 3G Fix?

So apparently the issue that some Nexus One’s have been having with staying on 3G can be easily fixed.  LKontheRun discovered that if he went into Menu > Settings > Wireless & Network Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > waited for it to scan > then selected Select Automatically that his phone had 3G reception where it used to have EDGE. So while Google still hasn’t responded to any of this or come out with their own update, feel free to give this a try and let us know if it worked.

Behold The Power of Snapdragon

So you have or are thinking about getting a Snapdragon phone (1Ghz processor), but besides quicker home screen swiping, you wonder what benefits a processor like that even has. Well, over at the Sony labs, they use an X10 to show you just that. Check out the video of them using a 3D map (powered by the military company Saab) and watch the Frames per Second in the top right of the screen. Notice how it never drops below 30 🙂 So, when are developers going to start taking advantage of the newer processors out now like the Snapdragon? Source
