All U.S. Android phones to receive Android 2.1, but some will require a wipe

Considering over 80% of our readers with Android phones are running an outdated version of the operating system, I think most of you will find this interesting. There has been some confusion over which phones would receive an Android 2.1 update and I am partially to blame. I authored a post way back in August that called into question the G1’s ability to receive future updates. Google eventually found a way to make Donut (Android 1.6) fit on the G1 and I was proven wrong. Since that time, I have maintained that the full ...

OpenEclair 1.2.2 Released

AppBrain gets smarter, filters out spam apps

0
Posted by Jolie Gendel on March 19th, 2010

Just a few days ago I reviewed AppBrain, an application/online market/app sync tool.  Overall, I found it an easy and very useful program to have, though there was room for improvement.  AppBrain went to class and became a little smarter.  Searches now filter out spam apps, these results are now just shown as light grey lines. If you're interested in them, you can still click them to get the full search result. Hurray, no more spam, but how did they do it? We calculated statistics on all developers in the AppBrain database, which covers all apps that are available in the US. In ...

Sprint shows love to the Nexus One!

Google-Nexus-One-Sprint CDMA

The Nexus One is really a beautiful handset. The phone so far seems to be a hot selling point for the current companies involved in selling the phone. The first US carrier to announce the Nexus One was the T-Mobile, and now the Nexus One is also compatible with AT&T (and the Rogers) networks. Soon, it will be available on Verizon. Now we have Sprint joining in on the Nexus One party. The rumor was confirmed true today when Sprint officially announced that "Google would launch a version of the Nexus One Android 2.1 smartphone compatible with its 3G Mobile ...

The Hypocrisy of Apple’s Lawsuit against HTC

7
Posted by Joseph Swipes on March 18th, 2010

“We’ve Always Been Shameless About Stealing Great Ideas” –Steve Jobs It was inevitable that the competition would catch-up to Apple's iPhone, and its App Store eventually. My guess is that in the near future we will see an Android based equivalent to iTunes either built by, or endorsed by Google that will sync media from desktop or possibly the cloud to your hand held device. Think of Double Twist which exists already but it's not endorsed by Google, and not yet widely adopted. With the recent competition that Google has bestowed upon Apple's handset business model by offering its own handset, and ...

Slingplayer Coming to Andriod Phones

Posted by Joseph Swipes on March 18th, 2010

Finally, the much anticipated Slingplayer application is coming to the Andriod platform this summer.  For those of you who have not heard of the Slingplayer, it is a device that connects to your cable/satellite receiver and redirects the signal over the internet and delivers it directly to your mobile phone or desktop computer. This technology has been around for a couple of years and was released about 9 months ago on the iphone.  It works well and you can even watch your on-demand channels.  Its as if you were sitting in front of your TV. Slingplayer works on ...

Google+Sony+Intel = Android TV

2
Posted by Alex Smith on March 18th, 2010

Android TV could possibly be here in the near future, thanks to Google, Intel and Sony. It appears that the three are in the early stages of designing set-top boxes and Internet-ready TV’s.   As we all know, Google does not comment on any type of rumors.  However, the claims are supported by a variety of positions recently opening at both Intel and Sony. Intel, for example, is looking for a Senior Application Engineer who can "extend Intel IA computing power and IA ecosystem from PC screen to mobile screen and TV screen.”  Furthermore, Logitech has reportedly been asked to create ...

Droid 2.1 a reality for few, still a dream for everyone else.

Posted by Jolie Gendel on March 18th, 2010

Ah 2.1, the gift Droid owners have been anxiously waiting for, only to disapear with a card saying better luck next time in it's stead. The soul crushing disappointment you must be feeling. So why the delays? It's not entirely clear yet, though some are speculating Motorola is still trying to figure out how to do updates.  Another possible scenario is that a bug is causing the delay issue, which could very well be the case given Droid's sibling Cliq had a tendency to brick with it's first update. Still, Verizon seems happy with how the update, or lack thereof, went ...

Posted by Asad Rafi on March 18th, 2010

Folks! Remember the HTC Supersonic? The First smartphone that comes with 4Gconnectivity, and it is powered by Android OS. As many of you know, Sprint has been working hard to boost their 4G network from a long time. Lets talk about the Supersonic. The first screen-shot of the Supersonic hit the web in the last week of January. Also Sprint announced that they will launch their first WiMax handset this Summer. The Supersonic also appeared in a Video a week ago, and now I believe the Supersonic will soon be launched. The rumor is on the road that Sprint will ...

The Incredible is coming!

Posted by Asad Rafi on March 18th, 2010

Remember the HTC Incredible? HTC Incredible is the latest handset and it will be available soon on Verizon Wireless. The first pictures of the Incredible hit the web in the first week of February. Then we saw it rolling into Verizon's inventory list. Two days later it appeared in a video running on the Verizon network. Soon after, another wave of HTC Incredible pictures hit the web. Then came the rumor that the Incredible will replace the Droid Eris on April 1st. A week ago, even more shots of HTC Incredible appeared, most interestingly with what some might call distinct Verizon branding. ...

2 More new apps straight from Google

Posted by Michael Banks on March 18th, 2010

To be exact, today Google dished out an Orkut App and a Buzz Widget. Never heard of Orkut? Orkut is Google's first of three attempts at social networking (that is if you count Wave and subsequently Buzz as numbers two and three) and the most orthodox among them. Here are the respective press releases from the Google Mobile Blog: Introducing Google Buzz widget for Android Since we launched Google Buzz for mobile, we've been working on ways to make it quicker and easier to share your thoughts and experiences while you're out and about. Today, we're excited to release a Google Buzz widget for ...

Nexus One Trademark rejected

1
Posted by Carlos Bandarrinha on March 18th, 2010

Google had its request to register the Nexus One trademark reject due to the resemblance to the Nexus trademark from Integra Telecom. Although the resemblance is clear, other similar requests have been know to be accepted, but the whole issue here is that both trademarks are used in the same business market, the telecoms. Google can buy the trademark from Integra or it can arrange an agreement to use it without buying it. Either one of those or, a higly unlikely solution, change the name of the device. There is one slight difference,  the existing registration is related to the oil industry so this may ...

Ah March, that time of year where it seems like almost everyone has gone basketball crazy. Over at Laptop Magazine they're doing a smartphone-themed bracket. It's still in the early rounds, but with 6 Androids up for competition, there is a good chance one will be winner. The only question is, which one? Head over to Laptop Magazine to cast your vote; today it's Motorola Droid vs. BlackBerry Curve 8530 with the Droid ahead 718 to the Curve's 207 as of this posting. [Source Laptop Magazine]

You may have read my earlier post about the potential of an unidentified 4G signal piggy backing on the current cell towers.  Well we now have more... Taker a close look at the screen shot below... No... Closer....Yes, it does say 4G. Our friendly develop community is working hard to jump on board this new found 4G signal (or whatever they are calling the technology they are testing) and get us all connected at blazing fast speeds before anything has been officially announced.
