| Symbian's revealing something tomorrow, but what? (update: open source!)
February 4, 2010 at 8:41 AM
|
|  Oh, Symbian, you tease! For an organization as committed to openness and sharing its roadmap (and its code) as the Symbian Foundation, it’s pretty unusual that they’d be counting down to a big unveiling of anything — but sure enough, they’ve been tweeting decreasing numbers with the hashtag “#symbi…

| LG commits to Android 1.6 — not 2.0 — for Rogers' Eve
February 4, 2010 at 8:21 AM
|
|  We suppose we should be excited that Canada’s version of the LG GW620 Eve is getting any major update at all, but still: what the heck? LG Canada has communicated via its official Twitter account this week that Rogers’ version of the phone — its second QWERTY-equipped Android set after the Dream –…

| Indian mobile carriers scramble as illegal towers are shut down
February 4, 2010 at 7:20 AM
|
| 
Apparently the dizzying expansion of mobile coverage in India has proceeded a little quicker than the regulatory process there — Indian carriers are in a bit of a tizzy after authorities shut down 300 allegedly illegal towers in a suburb of Ne… | | |

| Xperia X1 and Android 2.0.1 joined in unholy matrimony
February 4, 2010 at 5:03 AM
|
| 
Tired of waiting for the Xperia X10 for your first taste of Android and Sony Ericsson? Leave it to the gang at the XDA-developers forum to jump the gun. Last week marked the successful port of Android 2.0.1 (or Android 1.6, if you so choose) to the Xperia X1. No bluetooth, camera, or GPS — not yet…

| Pegatron on board to make next iPhone, might do 720p video recording?
February 4, 2010 at 4:26 AM
|
| 
The silly little sensor in the latest-gen iPod nano might have you thinking that high-quality video recording isn’t anywhere on Apple’s radar, but if you look in the smartphone space, HD video is shaping up to be the next gotta-have-it feature among the world’s most buzzworthy handsets — and sure …

| Weather Channel distributes Android app via on-screen QR code
February 4, 2010 at 2:09 AM
|
| 
Google’s been doing some pretty slick stuff with QR codes lately, and now it looks like The Weather Channel’s getting in on the fun — it’s running a little on-screen graphic prompting Android owners to download their app by scanning their TV screens. Sure, it’s not the craziest thing in the world …

| Motorola Zeppelin spotted again, Android-ness confirmed
February 4, 2010 at 1:25 AM
|
| 
Yes, we’ve seen this puppy before — but last time, we’d merely heard it was running Android. This time around, we’ve got a little more confirmation that the so-called Zeppelin from Moto is sporting Google code (allegedly Cupcake, sadly) with a dash of Blur added in for good measure. Gizmodo Brazil…

| Motorola Devour spotted in the wild, sized up against a Nexus One
February 4, 2010 at 12:17 AM
|
| 
While just recently made official, there have been plenty of Motorola Devour leaks over the years (er, months) to keep us occupied. This latest one has the aluminum colored phone sized up in bokeh-filled and yet surprisingly small, compressed and grainy shots — as if Mr. Blurrycam is holding up a …

| LG Accolade, Clout coming to Verizon?
February 3, 2010 at 11:37 PM
|
| 
Verizon — like pretty much any North American carrier — has an amazing propensity for offering countless, virtually anonymous flips from LG and Samsung. Yes, granted, they seem to be better at catering to the specific “needs” of Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile more than any other manufact…

| Motorola Devour officially coming to Verizon next month
February 3, 2010 at 8:56 PM
|
| 
And just like that, it’s official. Verizon Wireless has today announced that Motorola’s scrumptiously named Devour will be heading to its network next month, with it being the first VZW phone to feature Motoblur. Not that we’re seeing any surprises here, but a quick specification run down draws our…

| Data suggests handheld phone bans while driving aren't helping
February 3, 2010 at 7:02 PM
|
|  The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Highway Loss Data Institute (try saying that five times fast) seems like it’d be the first organization in the world to vehemently support bans on the use of handheld phones while driving, but interestingly, it’s come out with some data recently to sugges…

| Android display battle: In the end, there can be only One
February 3, 2010 at 5:25 PM
|
| 
It’s not everyday you get to see six (6!) Android devices pitted against each other in a display-quality grudge match. No, not that sensor sensitivity nonsense again, rather, just a plain ol’ video playback comparison for your subjective observations. Fortunately, the Android-loving kids over at HD…

| Ovi Maps downloaded 1.4 million times in first week since going free
February 3, 2010 at 3:00 PM
|
| 
People sure do like getting something for nothing. Since Nokia made the big move to stop charging for its walk and drive navigation last week, 1.4 million of us have downloaded the Ovi Maps software — on average, that’s a download a second since launch. The response has been so good that it’s exce…

| Japan certifies its first LTE device, LG says 'whoa, ours?'
February 3, 2010 at 2:33 PM
|
| 
In a country whose carriers’ phone lineups are dominated by domestic giants like NEC, Sony, Sharp, and Fujitsu, you wouldn’t necessarily think that the road to 4G would begin elsewhere — strangely, though, South Korea’s LG has garnered the honor of becoming the first company to have an LTE device …
