Looking for a weekly nutshell of Android news? The Saturday Wrap is for you.

I was hoping to be posting on my Nexus One car dock today, but it looks like it will have to wait until Monday. If you would like to order your own, Google has them in stock.

Phones, Gadgets, and Whatnot

I’ve got a pretty long list of devices that we learned about or gained new information on over the past week, but I think the one that’s getting the most attention is HTC’s Incredible. The user guide, equipment guide, and a sexy render were all leaked in the past few days. And it looks like we’ll get full details come April 29th.

Desire’s guide was leaked as well, and the phone is now available unlocked from across the pond.

I had a pretty decent leak about a square Motorola slider, which I can tell you is real, and is rumored to be launched on May 25th. An athlete’s friend called the Sagem Puma will be hitting the States next half, and Korea is getting a new LG and Moto. We also got a snap of the Moment 2.

I know some of those devices have been around for a while, but I hadn’t seen much on them. Here are a few that are all well documented but poped up in the news this week: myTouch Slide, Nexus for VZW, EVO.

A few other stories worth checking out:

Sharp ISO1
HTC dual screen
beTouch? That’s a lame name
Eris EOL
Archos 7 passes FCC

Updates

Motorola Cliq owners will be happy to know that a pretty major update – though not a firmware upgrade – is currently available. Droid owners should have received theirs by now. And Moment owners who aren’t in the mood to hack (video), can see a leak of a candidate for their next update.

Apps

Vonage released an official VoIP app, and it’s appropriately polished and usable – as is Rhapsody’s more expensive entry into the Market. Remember TwitterRide? It’s now called TweetsRide, and Carlos made a video review of it. He also reviewed the official XDA app. Those of you who aren’t running warehouses might be interested in the coming of a Netflix app and the benefits of buying your music through Amazon.

Time for me to go, but I can’t help but wondering how so many of you are having problems with your Nexus when mine kicks so much ass. I would say that it’s time to hack, but chipping paint, a none-too-sensitive screen? What are you guys putting your phones through?

Good day, everyone. Did you all get your loved ones good this April Fool’s Day? I skipped the festivities this year, but did enjoy what I consider to be the best prank I saw: Google’s Translate for Animals. Great app.

Sony Ericsson X10a

This week was all about SE’s X10, for me. I posted part 2 and part 3 of my questions and requests series, and packed a few more answers in with my review of the phone’s camera. You’ll find video and still photo samples from the X10 at that last link. For those of you who missed them, check out my unboxing and first questions and requests vid. The latest we’ve heard about the phone, which is about to launch in Canada, is that SE is working on a software update, but it will never, ever see multi-touch capabilities.

If you’ve paid any attention to tech over the last week, you know about CTIA in Las Vegas. And chances are that anyone reading this is well aware of the two biggest Android stories to come out of CTIA: HTC’s 4G EVO for Sprint, which PhoneDog got to play with, and the Samsung Galaxy S (more) which, at least in terms of graphics, should trounce the N1.

Of course there were other Android stories out of Vegas over the past seven days, like the Dell Mini 5, Kyocera Zio, and Motorola i1, but I’m pretty certain most of you would agree that EVO and Galaxy S are where ait’s at.

You may have noticed that DroidDog eased off of the EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!! over the past week. It has been kind of slow anyways, outside of lawsuit drama and Google’s entrance into the set-top box game – two stories that we chose to let pass. Don’t worry, we’re not ignoring news altogether. But we are turning our collective attention more towards the original content that makes DroidDog special, from my latest installment of DroidWars to Dustin’s review of Opera. We’ve also got new features in the works, and I’m toiling behind the scenes to bring them to you quickly without sacrificing quality. Things will be back to better than normal in no time. Did you know that you can now access the Android Market from right here at DroidDog? I told you new features were coming!
