Solar smartphones… now why didn’t I think of that. Oh wait- I did. And I’m sure we all have at some point. But let’s be realistic, just how often do you spend you time outside in the sunlight? 3? Maybe 4 minutes out of the day? The rest of your time is spend underneath the [...]

We’ve been hearing that the reason the Galaxy Nexus isn’t out on Verizon by now is due to it not exactly being ready. Verizon usually has no problem delaying a device to ensure a worry-free experience for users out of the box. Some test users have begun to receive test updates to Android 4.0.2, and [...]

How far we’ve come since the Original Motorola RAZR! Now, even the Original Droid seems like the distant past. Those two worlds of awesomeness merge tomorrow with the launch of the Motorola Droid RAZR But at 2PM Eastern, in less than 30 minutes, we’ll be chatting with Verizon Wireless LIVE and you can not only [...]

Google’s just released a HUGE update to Google+. For starts, registrations are completely open and available for all to sign up. This is great news as many people suggested Google+ was crippled by not being able to persuade all of your friends to come over from Facebook without invitations being available.

YouTube HD is now available ! Subscribe and favourite away! Due to circumstances beyond my control, the start and end of this video are missing. I was going to run with a 606mb Mpeg video that was a low resolution, but with one last roll of the dice, I found this DVD quality download. I [...]

We’ve heard the discussion about HTML eventually taking over the universe but I think this may be the first time I’ve heard Eric Schmidt say it directly and so succinctly. I’d have to double-check word for word, but the quote I heard was: “HTML 5 is the way almost all applications will be built, including [...]

It’s almost possible to completely dump HTC Sense. Federico – developer of LauncherPro – has added a new widget in the latest update of the Plus version of the application: a scrollable Twitter widget that gives you basic functionality. He plans to go beyond Twitter, too, as we should be seeing a Facebook widget and [...]

The latest update to the Android platform version pie chart shows that the fragmentation gap — I mean variation between OS version among handsets (we know Google hates that f-word) — is narrowing as an overwhelming 45.1 percent of devices are now running on Android 2.1. This no doubt has to do with a few [...]
