No Gingerbread love for the LG Optimus 3D until October

Yes, this is indeed bad news, but there’s a silver lining.  Apparently, the Android 2.3 update for the Froyo-munching Optimus 3D is being held back until October for one significant reason more than any – giving users the ability to upscale 2D to 3D on apps which utilize OpenGL for […]

AT&T drops the price on iPhone 3GS to $9

With the iPhone 4 already available and the iPhone 5 on the brink of a release, it’s hard to gain a further customer base for a yesteryear phone like the iPhone 3GS.  Seems like AT&T was mulling over the same point too and has decided to drop price smack down

Gingerbread update out now for the Samsung Galaxy Ace

It’s been almost four months since the official build of the Gingerbread update for the Froyo-running Galaxy Ace was leaked (and already being used by big chunk of flash-savvy populace), but Samsung didn’t utter a word on when the actual rollout will begin.  It hasn’t done so even now, but

Android 3.2 update ready for Motorola Xoom, more tablets to follow soon

It’s no Ice Cream Sandwich – you can taste that towards the end of this year – but it is an important update nonetheless.  While the Ice Cream Sandwich aims at unifying all Android devices under the sun to a common OS version, eradicating the word ‘fragmentation’ that has been

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play announced on AT&T, to be available in two colors
