Published on Thursday, February 4, 2010 by Casey Chan   Say hello to the Samsung SHW-M100S, Samsung's latest Android smartphone and their first to run Android 2.1. This puppy looks to be a good one with a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen, 800 MHz processor, 5-megapixel camera with 720p video recording, 3.5mm headphone jack, DivX support, and your usual slew of connectivity options. Nice, right? But it ain't perfect. Why? Beca...

Published on Thursday, February 4, 2010 by Casey Chan  This is incredibly odd. China Mobile's Ophone platform, which is based off Android, just received an update from 1.5 to 2.0. That's great because it gives Ophone users new features like voice recognition and SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) support. But that's not odd part. The odd part is that the update to the Ophone platform will also include support for Window...

Published on Thursday, February 4, 2010 by Casey Chan  The myTouch 3G as we know is getting phased out. But it's not for the rumored myTouch Slide but actually for the myTouch 3G Version 1.2 which adds a 3.5mm headset jack (much needed!). Accessories for the myTouch 3G 1.2 have been hitting stores and Tmonews expects the T-Mobile myTouch 3G 1.2 to be available on February 10th. We doubt that there'll be any big news...

Published on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 by Casey Chan   Android devices all have large, clear screens that are amazingly video-friendly. Sure, the Nexus One and Droid took it to the next level but for the most part, Android screens have been pretty awesome. So did you ever wonder which Android device had the best screen? We sure did. HDBlog.it attempts to answer that question by gathering 6 Android devices together ...

Published on Wednesday, February 3, 2010 by Casey Chan Did the recently released limited edition T-Mobile myTouch 3G Fender really just sell out? Tmonews just received the slide above which specifically states that the myTouch 3G Fender Edition is no longer available to existing customers that want to upgrade to the device (it also states the the black myTouch 3G will also be unavailable for upgrade). The rumored reason f...

Published on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 by Casey Chan Like we said before, it's going to take some time before Fennec aka Firefox Mobile actually gets on Android. But at least it looks like porting Fennec over to Android is progressing rather nicely--they actually got their first page load. According to the developer:Mouse events sort of work, toplevel windows sort of work, keyboard doesn't work yet but shouldn't be hard...

Published on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 by Casey Chan We know all the rage right now is over the Apple iPad but there may be another tablet device that'll tickle your fancy in the near future. A Google Tablet. Or can we just call it the Goblet already? This visual mockup/concept/not really real video (posted on the Chromium site) entertains the idea of using Chrome OS in a tablet form factor and it looks very cool, inte...

Published on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 by Casey Chan   Because the Android Lock Screen is just so fun and cool (and it is fun and cool), some iPhone developers have ported a similar lock screen system onto the iPhone. Yep, that ol' enter a number code just wasn't cutting it for them anymore, they wanted to draw patterns like us =). As with most supremely cool things about the iPhone, the Android Lock Screen is only...
