The announcement that all Samsung Galaxy S smartphone variants will be getting Android 2.2 Froyo OS updates may not be surprising, but confirmations of this sort are always welcomed. During their Galaxy S launch party in NYC today, Samsung confirmed that all of their recently announced Samsung Galaxy S devices will receive the Android 2.2,…
Well, we got through at least one week without another Apple iPhone to Verizon rumor, so it’s not a surprise that Bloomberg is now saying Apple’s smartphone will be hitting Big Red in January. The latest report actually doesn’t add anything new, as it cites those same “people familiar with the matter” that spread the…
As hinted at earlier today, Verizon has announced an inexpensive little slider from Pantech called the Jest. The Pantech Jest has a 2.6″ display, 2 megapixel camera, , GPS, social media apps for Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace preloaded, and support for stereo Bluetooth. My guess is the Jest will butt heads directly with the Samsung…
I’m sure Verizon hears every excuse in the book, and then some, from customers who are trying to get out of their contracts without paying an early termination fee. So perhaps it’s easy to see why the carrier gave Michaela Brummund hell when she tried to cancel her husband’s contract after he was killed in…

We know that Android 2.2 (Froyo) is set to hit the Motorola Droid sometime in late July, and as it has done previously, it looks like Verizon is sending out an over-the-air update for select Droid owners. This was done with Android 2.1, a small test group is given the update, and if it goes…

If the sequel indeed does come with Froyo, this would be the first device in the United States to actually ship with…
There was talk back in 2008 that RIM had begun work on an LTE BlackBerry. Given their two-year development cycle, it makes sense that we would see the fruits of their labour sometime near the end of this year, and from early rumours, the final product could be a doozy. Here’s what tipsters are saying…
Verizon didn’t want to be left out of the Galaxy S party, so the Samsung Fascinate will be hitting Big Red soon. The Fascinate will have Android 2.1 with some minor user interface flourishes from Samsung. Hopefully, these won’t be too intrusive and let’s hope we get Froyo sooner, rather than later. Samsung’s custom software…
It’s finally here. Yesterday was the launch day for Apple’s iPhone 4 and it has been selling like gangbusters. Normally, iPhone launch weeks are nightmares for Android fans but this one had the unveiling of the cool-looking Motorola Droid X and Android 2.2 got one step closer to getting in mainstream users’ hands.
