http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO40-Q_JNdQ&feature=player_embedded The LG Optimus G has been an interesting device, one that LG can be proud in saying surpasses most US phones spec-wise. And they know it: they’ve been teasing it and continue to do so. This new video is meant to show off the Optimus G, explaining that it has no limits. While it was a cool… Read more
Here is a little detail Amazon didn’t mention and hid in a bunch of other text. There will be ads on all Kindle Fire models. Remember how older models had an ad supported version that was cheaper than the normal version? That system is no more. These ads are mandatory on all Fires, and there is no opt out. You are forced to endure these ads. They will… Read more
All the Kindles announced today are now up for pre-order, mere hours after the event. This includes the e-readers too, like the Kindle Paperwhite. While we love e-readers here at DroidDog, our focus is definitely on the Kindle Fires. We reported earlier on all three of the new models, which includes the updated Kindle Fire, the new Kindle Fire HD 7″,… Read more
The 7″ Kindle Fire HD is pretty much identical to the 8.9″ HD, except for the size. It’s powered by the same dual core OMAP 4470, has the same dual Wi-Fi antennas, dual speakers, 16GB of storage, and HD front facing camera. With that size difference also comes a price difference: the Kindle Fire HD 7″ will be a clean $199. The screen resolution has not… Read more
Amazon has unveiled a new Kindle Fire HD. It’s an 8.9″ tablet (probably my favorite tablet size), with a crazy 1920×1200 display. That’s 254ppi. If that isn’t the best display specs I’ve ever heard (in terms of size, resolution, and aspect ratio), I don’t know what is. It is powered by an OMAP 4470 processor, a dual core Cortex A9 chip that’s not… Read more
Motorola’s keynote today was quite eventful, though nothing we didn’t know was announced. The first of the new announced phones is the DROID RAZR HD. It sports a 4.7″ 720p display, a dual core Snapdragon S4 at 1.5 GHz, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, an 8MP rear camera, NFC and a 2,500 mAh battery. That battery is very impressive for a phone of its… Read more
It looks like September 6th is shaping up to be a big day for Verizon’s Android lineup with the launch of not one, but two devices. With the Samsung Galaxy Stellar and the LG Intuition arriving the day after Verizon’s big announcement with Motorola, Big Red is certainly beefing up their Android lineup. The boys from Engadget got their hands on… Read more
Pantech has been known for their dumbphone offerings, but lately they’ve been taking the budget Android market by storm. And I have to admit, their budget phones can be pretty good (our own Joey Lehto enjoyed his time with the Marauder). However, they may just be making a high end phone, or mid end at the very least. This phone seems to be made for… Read more
What happens when HTC decides the Desire HD/Inspire 4G won’t be receiving an Ice Cream Sandwich update? Ports, of course! We go hands-on with a recent Sense 3.6 port for the Inspire 4G. Find the ROM itself… Read more
The developers at XDA Developers have delivered what HTC didn’t: An Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 ROM with the Sense 3.6 overlay. It’s basically what HTC promised but never delivered. I would like to clarify that HTC could deliver, but they didn’t for a good reason. The update required a partition resizing, meaning user data would be wiped. HTC deemed this… Read more
