Another Android release, another update to the Platform Versions page. While it’s only a measly 1.8%, Android 2.2 has made its official debut on the chart.

Several other devices are slated to get some Froyo goodness… Read more
Yesterday I received this DM on Twitter: “Have DROID X can you get here by 2 p.m.?”. Needless to say, I was in my car and on the road as quickly as humanly possible.

T-Mobile just uploaded a new commercial for the myTouch 3G Slide, featuring the Genius button with a little humor mixed in. A family is on a road trip and the little boy wants some ice cream. The mom want the mall. SPOILER ALERT: The dad sides with the kid. As an aside, even T-Mobile has dropped the “3G” moniker from the name…at least while… Read more
We’ve known, for some time, that the EVO was packing a Wireless-N radio. What was unknown was whether or not it would ever be enabled via an update. Well, the wait is over….sort of.
