Flash 10.1 Running on a Motorola Droid We’ve been hearing the chatter from the depths of the Motorola and Android worlds that we should be seeing Flash 10.1 soon. Well, that time may be sooner than you think. Adobe dropped this nice little video yesterday showing off Flash 10.1 cruising nicely on a Droid running... Read more »

Softpedia’s top five Android phones of 09

Softpedia’s top five Android phones of 09 2009 was a wonderful year for the Android mobile operating system. We saw many good looking devices hit the market and hit them hard.

Softpedia - a software download and news site - decided to take the first shots at naming their top... Read more »

2009 Android Advertising

2009 Android Advertising 2009 was a great year in advertising for the mobile industry. We saw everything from The Island of Misfit toys, a very creepy webOS multitasking blonde, Catherine Zeta Jones, and miracle banana diets on The Now Network to “an app for that”, a “map for that”, and more of Charles Barkley's Fave 5 (R.I.P.). Those are just some of the popular mobile tech... Read more »

UPDATED: Motorola Droid rooted… kinda

UPDATED: Motorola Droid rooted… kinda I don't have a Droid on hand - let alone a spare that I can tinker and test with - so I can't personally verify that the Droid has been rooted. However, that is the word. I also wouldn't recommend to anyone that they run out and attempt to crack that puppy open. But if you actually need root and don't mind risking your toy, here's the how-to. According to... Read more »

Check out an upgrade... Read more »

We get it! Droid does!

We get it! Droid does! I'm not really sure why an iPhone developer like Swavv would bother creating an iPhone app that really does nothing outside of underscoring a few of the chief bullet points found on Motorola Droid press releases, but they did. It was rejected, of course. Perhaps they were testing the waters as has become a bit of a trend lately - the same way a lawyer will pursue a... Read more »

Done with the Droid

Done with the Droid It was fun while it lasted, but the Motorola Droid has left my possession and taken up residence with @CarlosGraves, who will be providing Droid coverage for PhoneDog. Carlos is a b/vlogger and techie who is known for iPhone theming and hacking. He knows his stuff and I'm sure he'll be offering up some great Droid content, so keep your eyes out for him over at the... Read more »

Motorola Droid – your questions and requests I'm covering all of the questions and requests you good people have sent in right here and now. Well, except for those that apply to all Android devices and have been covered already. I'll be shipping this phone off very soon, so I've got to wrap this up. I promised I'd get this video up before I went to bed tonight. Unfortunately, I only have one computer for... Read more »

A Droid, apart

A Droid, apart Would you like to see the innards of Motorola's Droid? Do you need to understand how the hottest phone (thus far) of the season is constructed? Are you too poor to buy a phone only to tear it apart? Would you like me to do it for you? Well, 9!$$ off! I can't just fork over hundreds of dollars for the sake of your amusement, and I certainly can't destroy a loaner...... Read more »
