ASUS Transformer Prime receiving yet another update to fix bugs
The update situation with the Transformer Prime by ASUS has been a bit crowded. We've seen plenty of updates for the quad-core tablet in the past, not least of which was the update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. But, while the updates were meant to fix the issues plaguing the brand new tablet, it doesn't look like the updates are actually fixing all of them in...

LG has a knack for teasing future high-end devices, and this is no different. The company has released a teaser video, along with still-shot images of a rendered product, of what they are calling the Optimus Vu. The device will have plenty of high-end features, and feature one of the largest displays out there. But, with a 4:3 aspect ratio (something rarely tried),... Read more » HTC Velocity for Vodafone revealed
Over in Germany, there is a significant lack of 4G LTE devices. But that is changing very soon, as a confirmation from Vodafone has nailed the HTC Velocity as the first 4G LTE-based device to land within the Germany borders. The Velocity is a well-known device in other markets, as it saw a release here in the States as the HTC Vivid, and in South Korea as the HTC...

The Galaxy Nexus by Samsung hasn't been available for Rogers and Fido up in Canada all that long, but it looks like Best Buy is looking to set a pretty significant price drop for the device for those willing to sign a new, lengthy contract. After the initial price drop from $159.99 to only $99.99, seeing the first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich-equipped device...

We've known for a bit of time that the original Sensation is getting a new breath of life soon, with its launch in a new white exterior frame and a focus on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but it looks like HTC isn't done there. Clove Technology, a retailer in the UK, has confirmed that HTC is planning on releasing a white-washed version of the Sensation XE as... Read more » San Francisco II from Orange now up for pre-order in white version
The original black version of the San Francisco II by Orange has been out for a little while now, so it isn't surprising to see that the manufacturer and wireless carrier are getting ready to launch a new, white-tinted version. That seems to be the trend these days. Unfortunately though, if you wanted to get your hands on the mid-range Android device, you'll have to... Read more » HP TouchPad had Android kernel developed internally, released by HP themselves
Remember hearing about a few of HP's TouchPads shipping with Android instead of webOS? It turns out there was quite a bit more of a story to that, as it appears that HP had an internal team developing Android for the TouchPad all along. Out of the kindness of their hearts, HP has given that very Android kernel they developed to the CyanogenMod team. It also appears... Read more » Google Voice for Android updated, brings new UI to Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich
Google has been working towards making all of Android look the same over the last year, and is taking another step by updating one of its own apps. Google Voice has just been updated to version 0.4.2.44, bringing new UI elements to devices running Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich. Also included is offline queuing of apps, something not previously available. Not a... Read more » Huawei Ascend P1 S launching in China in March
Huawei's latest superphone, the Ascend P1 S, will be finally launching next month. China will be first to receive the handset, which boasts specs like a 1.5GHz OMAP 4460 processor, 4.3-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 960×540, and a 8MP camera on the back. One of the most exciting features may be the fact that it will ship with Ice Cream Sandwich, and that... Read more » Prada Phone by LG 3.0 now on sale in the UK, costs £424.98
The Prada Phone by LG 3.0 was announced by LG not too long ago, and it is finally available in some parts of the world. Multiple retailers in the UK are listing the phone for right around £424.98 (about $675) off contract, a price in line with most of the other high-end Android handsets of today. Considering that it carries the Prada name, it was expected to cost... Read more » Samsung Infuse 4G Gingerbread update halted
Last week Samsung and AT&T told us that they would be rolling out an update to the Infuse 4G, upgrading the phone to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Things didn't quite go to plan, and the update has now been put on hold. Samsung has stated that they will try to get it resolved as quickly as possible, but until then users will just have to wait it out. Any Infuse 4G owners... Read more » Adobe Flash support will not be included in the Chrome for Android browser
Earlier today Google released the Chrome for Android Beta, allowing any device running Android 4.0 the ability to access desktop browser quality features. One thing it doesn't include, (that the stock Android browser does) is support for Adobe Flash. We already knew that mobile development for Flash would be going the way of the dinosaur, but Adobe has again stated... Read more » CyanogenMod developers experiencing issues with Ice Cream Sandwich, CM9 may be delayed for some devices
Many fans of flashing ROMs have been eagerly awaiting for the latest release of the popular CyanogenMod, which will bring Ice Cream Sandwich to many devices. It appears that not everything is going to plan though, as the developers have encountered some issues. Ice Cream Sandwich requires updated graphics drivers, something closed-source and hard to achieve for many... Read more » Chrome Beta for Android First Impressions [Video]
Now that Chrome Beta for Android has been available for a bit, I've taken some time to develop my first impressions of the application. It's obvious that the Chrome team is a separate division of Google that does its own thing, but we really like what they've done so far, especially with the tablet experience. It feels like a "real" web browser now. Enjoy the... Read more » T-Mobile hosting a Valentine’s Day sale, all phones will be free on February 11
T-Mobile is really feeling the love this year, and is deciding to share it via a huge sale. On February 11 they will be selling all of their handsets for free on contract, after rebate. There is a catch however, as you must first purchase the device and then apply for a mail-in rebate card. Not the worst in the world, but it should be noted. The offer is for one day... Read more »
