While we’re expecting more than one device, apparently the APK list of the Nexus Prime has leaked out for the world to see. Whether or not this means that the Nexus Prime will be an exclusive Verizon device alongside the Droid Prime remains to be seen but we can only hope that the handset will…
After flirting with unlimited music ID on Android for awhile, Shazam has decided to make the switch permanent, and are now including iPhone in the fun. As a part of the switch, they’re kicking off a contest. For every song you tag using their app until November 15, you have a chance at winning a…
Yesterday, Flickr announced its first Android app, bringing the same photo sharing features users have grown to love. Flickr for Android is available for Android 2.1 or higher devices, and is both a photo browser and a camera alternative app with photo filters — so it not only shares photos, but improves them as well. Android…
Sony Ericsson has taken some interesting routes for ads when it comes to its first Playstation Certified phone, the Xperia Play. From thumb harvesting to Kristen Schaal yelling at herself, while they can be seen as odd, most of the Xperia Play ads were at least interesting or funny. The latest ads for the handset…

Needless to say, upon publishing on few websites, that page was promptly pulled from the electronics retailer online store, displaying “page not found” instead. We don’t have all the details, but…
HTC unveiled another Android device, this time tailored toward the first-time smartphone buyers. As such, the HTC Explorer (which BTW we’ve already seen before) is an entry-level device with a 3.2-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen, 3-megapixel camera, while 600MHz CPU should be good enough to handle all processing needs (or so we hope).
