SCVNGR has released a new version of its location-based gaming app for the Apple iPhone and Android and the latest version includes a host of new improvements. If you’re not aware, SCVNGR lets users check in to locations, kind of like Foursquare and others. What I like about SCVNGR is that it has rolled out…
Looks like Asus and Garmin are calling it quits come January next year, and we can’t say that we’re surprised. With the crash and burn of the Garminfone, we’re actually more surprised this didn’t happen sooner. This makes strike two for Garmin, with the Nuvifone not quite attracting anyone, either. Now that the two companies…
So, the Droid X and Droid 2 can now be overclocked with a simple $1 app. Guess what the app’s name is? DX/D2 Overclocker. Clever, right? And for 99 cents you can overclock your Android handset’s CPU to 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz with a single push of a button depending on just how willing you are…
Viper’s car control system for iPhone, BlackBerry, and Android is getting a little more accessible, and tacking on some new features today. Firstly, they’re knocking $100 off the price of the SmartStart car add-on to $199, meaning you’re looking at $399 rather than $499 for the whole shebang. You still have to pay $30/year for…
It was during this year’s Mobile World Congress when a newcomer to the mobile world — Copenhagen, Denmark-based Lumigon — unveiled its Android smartphone line-up. Now one of their devices is about to start selling and we’re somewhat excited considering just how cool it looks (and sounds). The name of the model is T1 and…

Speaking of customizations, we know the device will…
Samsung Galaxy 5 (i5500) has been launched by Australia’s Telstra and offered for AU$199 on pre-pay. That’s right folks, no contract signing is required if you opt to grab Samsung’s mid-range Android smartphone – simply pay 200 bucks and you’re ready to go. Of course, we’re talking about a device that is far from the…
Google Voice Search, one of the best features built into every Android phone running version 2.0 or higher, has solely been the domain of English, French and Chinese speaking users for quite a while. There may be one or two more languages it can handle, but I’m not too sure. Anyway, today Google is happy…
Sony has been talking about Android for some time now and with the introduction of their new television line with Google TV built-in, it looks like it is getting a little more serious about the little green robot. With the X10, mini/pro and X8 under its belt, Sony is looking to put Android into more…
Color us surprised and skeptical, but a video from Russia has hit the interwebs, and it claims Google has sent the person a Nexus 2 of all things running Android 3.0 Gingerbread.
