Published on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 by Adam Sawyer It’s been officially stated that the Motorola CLIQ and CLIQ XT will definitely be receiving an Android 2.1 update, but now the question is: When?  Well, folks, just hold your horses.  Motorola jumped on Twitter this morning and released a statement:For those asking for an update regarding a software upgrade on CLIQ in the U.S., we've made a decision ...

Published on Sunday, June 27, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Not sure this is quite the Q9h-type device I've been longing for on Android, but Motorola apparently has a front-facing QWERTY phone with a quaint little screen possibly headed for T-Mobile. The leaked slides show Android 2.1 with "new Motoblur enhancements" that share at least some of the attributes of what's on the new Droid X, in that you can resize...

Published on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 by Jerry Hildenbrand Good news for Cliq, Cliq XT and Backflip users -- Motorola has set up mailing lists for you to stay abreast of the news about your Eclair (Android 2.1) update.  Again, Moto is using the phrase 'when the 2.1 arrives' and not if.  You'll need to be a member of the official Motorola forums (see source link for details), and you can sign up here:Cliq update news...

Published on Friday, June 18, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Remember how yesterday Korean carrier KT said it was going to launch the Nexus One with Froyo on June 21? Scratch that, apparently. KT's official Twitter account (which is @show_tweet) now points to a mid-July launch. So what does that mean for those of us in the states waiting on Froyo? No, we still don't know when it's coming for the Nexus One. Or the Droid. Or the...

Published on Thursday, June 17, 2010 by Jerry Hildenbrand The above is a screen grab of full on Adobe Flash on my HTC Evo.  Still running Sense, still running Eclair, you don't even have to root your phone. (Giggity).  I've shared my new found love affair with Flash on the podcast, so y'all know I'm in Android-Geek heaven -- thanks to the wizards over at XDA forums.  Wanna see good news get even better? ...

Published on Thursday, June 17, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Motorola just added a slew of new non-U.S. phones to its Android 2.1 update list (see the previous update), including a bunch of Backflips and Quenches. Doesn't really give us a better idea of when the new software will actually be available, but it's good to see Moto at least trying to be transparent about it. That said, it'd be great if we'd see some Android 2.2 upd...

Published on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 by Phil Nickinson It's been a couple of weeks, and that means it's time for an update as to who's running which version of Android. (See the previous breakdown here.) Fifty percent of Android devices are now running Android 2.1 (and if you count all of Eclair -- 2.0, 2.0.1 and 2.1 -- it's 50.4 percent. Android 1.6 is down to 25 percent even, and Android 1.5 is at 24.6 percent.It would ...

Published on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 by Jerry Hildenbrand I'm officially jealous.  First Virgin Mobile Canada gets the HTC Legend, now parent company Bell flaunts this gorgous phone in my general direction.  It's the same Legend we've been talking about since we first saw it at Mobile World Congress -- 3.2 inch AMOLED screen, all aluminum unibody design, 600 MHz Qualcomm processor, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash...

Published on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 by Phil Nickinson At the same time as it announced the Xperia X8, Sony Ericsson revised its update schedule for the Xperia X10, X10 Mini Pro and X10 Mini (seen here from left). Previously slated to get Android 2.1 in the fourth quarter of this year, updates should now start "from Q3 onwards," according to a press release and the official SE Product Blog. The blog goes a ...

Published on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 by Jerry Hildenbrand Remember that Altek camera that comes with a phone attached we showed you a week or so ago?  It's back, with some nice action shots and even a video.  Android 2.1 has been confirmed as the OS (According to vice president JS Liang, Froyo is being worked on) with a slightly customized UI.  We also get some info about release in Asia -- Hong Kong, China an...
