Published on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Take a look at the latest smartphone usage numbers from Comscore, and you're likely to do a double-take -- Android increased by 4.3 percentage points from November '09 through January 2010 over the three previous months, giving it a 7.1 percent share. There's no doubt that Android's popularity continues to grow. But those numbers likely can (and should) be attributed ...

Published on Friday, March 5, 2010 by Phil Nickinson Update: OK, OK. I get it. I've been learned a thing or three over this one.

I only hope one day we'll wake up an our long national multitouch nightmare will be over. :PLet the debate continue! Earlier this week we saw a pretty damning video that illustrated how ...

Published on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 by Phil Nickinson That at least some Nexus Ones suffer from some apparent problem with the touchscreen is not news. We've pointed out an issue with the keyboard before. And now Taylor from Android and Me has a great video showing the difference in multitouch between the Motorola Droid and the Nexus One (an HTC phone commissioned by Google).

Published on Sunday, February 28, 2010 by Phil Nickinson It's hardly shocking, but HTC's new Sense user interface (read our review here) has been ported onto the Motorola Droid. It's still a little buggy, but damned if its not the same ROM (more or less) that was ripped off the HTC Desire and thrust upon the Nexus One.
