ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Updated, Brings Face Unlock And Much Needed Bug Fixes
The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 is finally getting another update. I say finally because I've heard nothing but bad things about the Ice Cream Sandwich update from Transformer owners. I hear of crashes and reboots multiple times a day, instability, and just an almost unusable device. It's been pretty terrible. Luckily, there is a bug fixing update out now.... Read more » Editorial: Should You Be Scared Of Shared Data Plans?
On the heels of news Verizon plans to eliminate unlimited data plans for 3G customers in favor of their upcoming shared data plans, we wonder if the move to shared data isn't something we should fear? As the industry now stands, heavy smartphone users already approach bandwidth limits every month and while we're making a prediction that the shared data...

Sonic 4: Episode II has been launched today, and boy does it look great on a Tegra 3 device! Sega worked with NVIDIA to bring near console-like graphics to Tegra 3 devices, and the comparison shots above (comparing a non-Tegra 3 device and a Tegra 3 device) really show the work they put into it. Though we all know the Tegra 3 isn't all that powerful, NVIDIA's... Read more » Google Music Now Allows More Devices To Be Deauthorized, Finally
The media went crazy today about how Google Music only allowed 10 devices to access music, with only 4 device deactivations per year. This was a big problem for those who flashed ROMs often, because every new ROM flash counted as a new activation. That means if you used one device to access Google Music, you could only flash it 13 times before access to Google...

The first leaked Ice Cream Sandwich build for the DROID 4 has been acquired straight from Motorola. Since the DROID 4 was on the list to (eventually) get the ICS update, this was expected. This is still an early build, so don't expect too much stability. Upgrading the DROID 4 is always a risk, thanks to Motorola's stance on hacking. Besides the obvious fact...

In a move sure to surprise many, NVIDIA demonstrated their upcoming cloud gaming service, a la OnLive. It'll be called GeForce Grid, and is made possible by a partnership with Gaikai, who already has a game streaming service of its own. While OnLive is definitely a good service, it seems that GeForce Grid will be a lot better. Since the service will be run on...

Amazon Wireless has once again dropped their price for the AT&T HTC One X. Unfortunately, this only applies to the gray version. Fortunately the white version may not be appealing to many people due to the fact that it turns blue just from keeping it in a pocket of blue jeans. I have witnessed the same problems with a light gray HTC Inspire 4G (massive... Read more » Sprint Officially Announced HTC EVO 4G LTE Delay
Looks like the HTC EVO 4G LTE will not be coming when announced. To make matters worse, further shipments of the AT&T HTC One X will also be delayed, so stock may run out. HTC shared this statement about the delay of HTC phones explaining the situation: “The US availability of HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs...

New results comparing worldwide smartphone market shares in Q1 of 2011 and Q1 of 2012 have been released, and they're quite surprising. Nokia's Symbian platform held 27.7% of the market share, which in one year, dropped down to a low 8.6%. Also, Windows Phone dropped from 2.6% to 1.9%. Things really aren't looking good for Nokia, especially considering Samsung... Read more » Verizon Trying To Get Everyone Off Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plans
To be grandfathered into an unlimited 3G data plan, you would have to have upgraded your phone before Verizon implemented tiered data. However, Verizon is trying to get all those customers on data-share plans. Those plans are set to launch mid-summer. Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo said that all 3G customers will have to migrate to 4G LTE, and that will... Read more » Sprint Shutting Down Early Upgrade Program On June 1st
On June 1st, Sprint's early upgrade program will be no more. It was a high cost program and Sprint is cancelling it to reduce costs. Before, Sprint would allow upgrades a few weeks early, often in the case of a broken phone. If you want to take advantage of this program in the short 15 days you have, you definitely should before it's gone forever. Source:...

With last nights *shocking* turn of events as US Customs holds HTC One X and EVO 4G LTE hardware in limbo, Sprint prepares to miss their planned May 18th launch date. In fact, their dedicated EVO 4G LTE page no longer says anything about May 18th or any other potential launch date at this time, it's been completely scrubbed. Sprint hasn't said...

Just as we expected, actually a little earlier as the first updates started going out around 3am as T-Mobile and HTC release Ice Cream Sandwich for the HTC Sensation 4G. Fear not HTC Amaze 4G owners, you’re waiting just a few more days as T-Mobile readies your update for release on May 21st. As soon as Sensation 4G owners stop dancing around the room celebrating... Read more » LG Unveils New Android Overlay UI For Ice Cream Sandwich Devices
One of the best or worst features of the Android experience is the ability of the manufacturers to customize and tailor their products as they see it. That means placing their own user interface on top of stock Android software to deliver a unique experience to customers. With that in mind, LG sent out a press release this morning announcing Optimus UI 3.0 for... Read more » Android Device Fragmentation Displayed In Incredible Detail
Take a look at the image above and the charge compiled by Open Signal Maps. The company put together data taken from over 681,900 users of its app over the past six months, and saw it run on nearly four thousand different types of devices. Of course that number is actually far lower as custom ROMs are responsible thanks to their reporting of identities a little... Read more »
