Published on Saturday, May 22, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Stop. Do not pass go. Now that you have Froyo up and running on your Nexus One, it's time to take part in the Adobe Flash 10.1 beta. Just click here in your Android browser, install it, and start watching Flash video, playing Flash games and doing all that other stuff that Android and Flash do so well. Huzzah! ...

Published on Saturday, May 22, 2010 by Phil Nickinson For those of you who are running rooted and ROM'd Nexus Ones with a custom recovery module -- either Amon Ra or ClockworkMod or the like -- it's now stupidly easy to upgrade to Android 2.2 Paul at MoDaCo did the legwork. All you have to do is download his patched (and already rooted) version of Froyo, slap it on your SD card, and apply it per usual through the Recove...

Published on Saturday, May 22, 2010 by Phil Nickinson  Let's all pause from the Froyo mania for a second and ponder the above picture, brought to us via Howard Forums. This purportedly is the Motorola Shadow, which kind of looks like a mashup between an HTC and Moto device, borrowing a number of stylings from the former.That's about all we know at the moment, well, that and it's about time we saw some new hotne...

Published on Saturday, May 22, 2010 by Phil Nickinson It took what for most Nexus One owners seemed to be a lifetime, but we now have the download location for Android 2.2 (Froyo). Here's what you need to do to flash it to your phone:Update: Yeah. Hang on a sec guys. Sorry bout that.We're doing ours right now, so stand buy, and sound of if you're having fun.Update #2: You can install a FroYo nandroid backup (courtesy of ...

Published on Saturday, May 22, 2010 by Phil Nickinson One thing that apparently already is working its way out in the open (unlike the mythical Nexus One Froyo update that's only reaching a blessed few) is the new crash report tool for Android applications. We got a look at this during the keynote on Thursday at Google IO, and it's a nice little feature. If an app crashes on you, tap the "Report" button. Then y...

Published on Saturday, May 22, 2010 by Phil Nickinson So here's the thing: TechCrunch's M.G. Siegler apparently awoke to an over-the-air update of Android 2.2 (Froyo) on his Nexus One. And immediately, everybody and their mother started posting "Froyo being pushed out to the Nexus One!" Thing is, only a scant few people seem to actually have gotten the update thus far. So maybe it's being pushed out,...

Published on Friday, May 21, 2010 by Phil Nickinson We got our first look at the Samsung Galaxy S and its gorgeous (indoors, anyway) Super AMOLED screen at CTIA in March. And Sammy was showing it off again this week at Google IO. Not much else to say other than that. Same great screen. Same OK (we'll reserve judgment until we actually get to use it at length) Touchwiz 3.0 user interface. And we still want to ...

Published on Friday, May 21, 2010 by Phil Nickinson There's a bit of a fuss going on at the moment about a slew of new HTC code names. Engadget spilled the beans about the Glacier, LED and Vision -- and that's about all we know. The Vision appears to be slated thus for for T-Mobile, but that could be the European variety as much as the U.S.Then today Dutch site Tweakers.net snags the user agent of the Vision,...

Published on Friday, May 21, 2010 by Phil Nickinson You guys want us to do an unboxing of the Sprint Evo 4G? Fine. We'll do an unboxing. And we'll do it live, in living color, with stereophonic sound. Maybe snakes will fly out. Maybe it'll be a gruesome scene. We don't know. We haven't actually looked yet (though we have a pretty good idea of what's in there). Anyhoo, check back tonight at 7 p.m. EDT, and we'll gi...

Published on Friday, May 21, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Get a bunch of execs on stage -- Micrososoft, Google, Apple, whomever -- and people are going to try and cause trouble. Same goes for the Android team at Google IO. Asked to compare the Android "tactics and maneuvers" to the Mac-PC wars of the 1980s and '90s, we get another beautiful line from Andy Rubin (seen here at left). "From my perspective, we'r...
