If you don’t know what this Android Overload thing is all about let me break it down for you. We get so much news that comes across our desks that it would be impossible to feature it all on our front page. That title is reserved for the real good stuff. But there are always [...]

HTC’s on a roll with their bootloader unlock program as they have added support for six new devices today. Those devices include the  HTC Desire Z, ChaCha, Aria, DROID Incredible, Status, and T-Mobile G2. While some of these devices already have community-developed methods it’s always good to see official support from the OEMs. Head to [...]

HTC’s new Sense 3.5 is looking pretty nice, but unfortunately we aren’t quite sure when the first device baring the new Android skin will hit shelves.

Between the latest version of Android and the implementation [...]

According to a screen grab a tipster just hit us with, US Cellular looks to be updating their Android family with the addition of the HTC Desire S (here called the Desire II) and Wildfire S. The sequel to the original Desire makes sense here, as US Cellular was one of the few US outlets [...]

Bing bang boom. You know what time it is… Its time for another great episode of Android Overload! Today there was a lot of Samsung news oddly enough. Looks like they may be one step closer to Android world domination. Since we didn’t want nothing but Samsung news dominating our front page, we had to [...]

We knew developers would be quick to get the HTC Sensation’s test ROM ported to other HTC phones and it looks like the HTC Desire HD got the honors. Can’t say things are terribly stable at this point (especially considering I don’t have a phone to test it on), but if you want to take [...]
