TheVerizon Motorola Droid X is one sexy piece of kit, and is one of the best devices we’ve got our hands on in recent history. That said, the ever-growing group of developers and modders will be a little annoyed that the Droid X has a locked down bootloader, which means the chances of getting it…
We’ve seen Android devices getting rooted before they are officially available, and the US variants of the Samsung Galaxy S are no exception. The US Samsung Galaxy S variants have apparently already gotten root and are ready for your hacking pleasure. The international version of the Galaxy S root method seems to work just as…
The Windows Mobile-powered HTC HD2 keeps getting hacked with Android. We’d previously seen HTC’s big-screened HD2 running Android 2.1 OS and Ubuntu, and now we’ve got some HTC Sense and Froyo lovin’ on the Windows Mobile device.

It’s not clear what tricks you need to turn so you actually receive one of these free 3G MicroCell vouchers, but we do know that you need to…
One of the most frustrating hindrances of AT&T Android phones is that users are not allowed to download apps outside of the Android Market – the option to “side load” apps from third-party sources in the settings menu is missing from AT&T Android phones. Luckily, HTC just updated their HTC Sync software to allow the…
The Motorola Droid X is probably one of the best handsets you can buy when it’s launched later this week on Verizon. There have been rumors that the number of Droid X units available per store would be quite limited. Today those rumors are looking scary-true. Earlier this week, the Verizon warehouse looked to only…
We know that the Android Market has been growing rapidly, and in more ways than one. Last we heard, the Android Market had a cool 70,000 Android apps available, and now we’re hearing that it may have up to 90,000 at the moment. If this turns out to be true, we may see the Market…
