For those of you in need of another T-Mobile Android device in your life, you may want to direct your attention to LG, as they have just announced a new handset in their Optimus line, the Optimus T. The Optimus T will not be a powerhouse of a smartphone, but will be better suited for…
The T-Mobile G2 gives us a little reminder in the joys of owning an Android handset. If your Android smartphone isn’t trying to self-destruct after a hack attempt, it will fix itself instead. Although both results are not really the desired end goal for a would-be hacker, I’d choose the latter. And the latter is…
Wolfram Alpha’s “computational knowledge engine” has found its way to Android after a lengthy stay on iPhone. You might recall that when it first came out, Wolfram Alpha was notorious for its ridonkulous $50 pricetag at launch, but luckily they’ve since wised up and are offering both Android and iPhone versions for $1.99.

Last month, a QWERTY slider from Samsung running Android 2.2 with TouchWiz 3.0 on top was spotted at IFA, and today it’s been announced to be available in Europe starting in November for 389 euros. The Samsung Galaxy I5510 is not quite as high end as the Epic 4G, as it packs a modest 667…

HTC’s third quarter numbers are in and they’re absolutely gorgeous. The Taiwanese firm scored $360 million in profits, double what they did during the same time last year. With devices like the Desire and the Legend, never mind the soon to launch Desire HD and Desire Z, plus whatever else they’ll announce between now and…
The One Laptop Per Child Foundation, a group that I’ve criticized in the past because they think giving children a laptop will immediately solve their problems versus something more useful like a bag of rice and malaria vaccinations, has received $5.6 million from Marvell to design an Android tablet based around their chipset solutions. That’s…
Motorola announced the Motorola CITRUS and revealed the specs for this entry-level Android handset headed for Verizon. Previously identified as the Motorola Ciena, the CITRUS re-defines the term “entry-level smartphone” with a set of specs that are lower than low. This latest Verizon Android offering includes CDMA 1X/ EV-DO Rev 0 connectivity, a 3.0-inch QVGA touchscreen…
Motorola made a big splash on the evening before CTIA by introducing five Android handsets. Of those, the one that most interested us was the Motorola Droid Pro, so we had to take it around for a little spin. You’re going to have to excuse the quality of the audio, as it somewhat of a…
