Howdy, y’all. Seeing how it’s impossible for us to write up everything that comes our way throughout the day, we’ve got the Android Overload. It’s here we gather all these stories into a refreshing pool for you to take a dip into. So splash around and let me know if you find anything interesting. I [...]

It’s great to know your roots and as a wise man once said, if you don’t know where you came from, how will you know where you’re going? And if you thought guys like Andy Rubin or Steve Jobs were pioneers of their time — check out these guys from AT&T who had no idea [...]

Accessory maker Anymode may have found themselves in bit of hot water after a PR rep inadvertently let slip the existence of the Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T. And not only did they tie in the device with AT&T but they even went as far as revealing the a general release date on when we [...]

Gameloft uploaded a trailer for the newest in a series of their “Diablo-style” action RPG’s, Dungeon Hunter 3. Overall, the game seems to offer everything you’d expect from a sequel — more.

Apparently, HP doesn’t the slightest clue on how some of their significantly discounted TouchPads were shipped out to customers pre-loaded with the Android OS (and not WebOS as intended). Developers began emailing HP asking that they share the Android kernel source that shipped on the TouchPads as per the open-source licensing terms. HP’s Phil Rob director [...]
