Your average Joe type Android user probably won't find much of interest here, but hackers and modders are gonna love this. Samsung has taken the time to release the Froyo source code for not only the Vibrant, but for the Epic as well -- Yes, the Epic doesn't even have Froyo quite yet (the OTA was announced today), and the source code is already released. Now that... Read more » Chrome Web Store going global
When Google initially released the Chrome Web Store, it was met with great success. One of the only groans surrounding the launch was its limited availability; up until now, the Web Store was only available to users in the United States. Thankfully, Google is looking to change that by opening a developer preview in fifteen different countries. The new... Read more » LG Optimus 3D UK release date and price

A number of xda-developers members have discovered and confirmed a glitch in the Android 2.3 keyboard that causes double letters to appear after a word correction. The problem has been submitted to Google as a bug, with multiple commenters supporting the submission. As you can see in the video above, the glitch is easily recreated on a Nexus S.

If you're a regular visitor to this site, you probably know by now that we have a strange love affair with unusual advertising; we can't get enough. When T-Mobile, the self-proclaimed king of Android, put out a new ad starring Charles Barkley, I knew exactly where it was going. It's no Winamp promo (is your music of play yet?), but it's pretty good. Here's... Read more » Baconreader progress update, no estimate on alpha release
Last week, we told you about Baconreader, an Android Reddit application in development. While the program hasn't even reached the alpha stage, it is gaining the attention of Reddit (there is a rapidly growing Baconreader subreddit) and the Baconreader website is ready to rock. So even though the latest progress update comes in the form of a couple of UI mock-ups,... Read more » Videos: Movie Studio demonstrations
Google apparently didn't want anyone filming their MWC debut of the upcoming Android tablet video editing application, Movie Studio. Thankfully, some brave soul willing to get nixed from the event decided it was worth the risk to shoot and then tipped Phandroid off to their upload. This demo, which took place during Eric Schmidt's keynote, show's off the... Read more » One Pass to rule them all
To say there's been mixed reactions to Apple's newest policy on in-app purchases would be mild. Essentially, Apple wants companies who provide something like a newspaper subscription, that can be purchased outside of an app, to make it available inside the app as well -- for the same price of less. It sounds great, but the problem publishers are having is the 30%... Read more » Bluetooth Game Gripper looking for funding
Game Gripper is by far one of the coolest phone accessories to come out in a long time. Just in case you don't recall, Game Gripper is a slide on video game controller that fits snuggly over your phone's physical keyboard. If you are into emulation at all, it's a must own. Unfortunately, if your phone doesn't have a physical keyboard, you're left in the dark. Sure... Read more » Moto’s Jha speaks up on Xoom pricing
It's been a good solid day since we've last talked about Motorola Xoom pricing, so why not eh? I know this is getting a little old, but there is some new information to share. Motorola’s Sanjay Jha sat down with Reuters recently, and has finally spilled the beans on a couple things. First, he said the unsubsidized version of the Xoom with Verizon 3G would...

When the HTC Flyer -- HTC's 7-inch tablet -- was first announced, information on the device was abundant to say the least. Now that things have calmed down a bit, let's take a look at what we know. Hardware: First up on the list: hardware specs. The Flyer could have the best software out there, but if the specs don't match up, why bother? Here's what we're...

Sidekick fans, where you at? I know you're out there, and you're gonna love this. We haven't heard much on the previously leaked Sidekick 4G lately, but it looks like that's about to change. Posted tonight, an information sign up page has gone live for the 'kick which can only mean one thing: it's coming soon. Nothing else to report right now, but stay tuned...
