If you thought the LauncherPro was good, take a gander at this new homescreen replacement currently being cooked by XDA member, Caemgen.  Upon completion, the app is expected to feature a cool app drawer, a customizable dock and the WonderWheel, a unique way to give quick access to the most used functions on your beloved Android.  The app is still in its infancy but seems to show a lot of promise looking at the screenshots […]

The guys over at XDA Forums have unearthed a picture of an upcoming HTC Android device for Sprint, pretty obvious by the big Sprint logo on the right hand top corner of the handset, which will be called Speedy upon its release, although it will answer to the name of Knight too until the release.  The handset features the tell-tale four soft keys (rounded like the ones on Evo 4G) at the bottom and will

If Verizon users are getting theirs on November 11, Sprint customers will need to wait another three days before they can get their hands on the coveted Galaxy Tab.  The official press release is out and the going rate is $399 for the ones eligible for an upgrade and those on the hunt for a new contract.  Unlike Verizon’s single $20 1GB cap plan, Sprint is offering two different options to its customers, either 2GB

Starting October 28th, the flagship device from Samsung will be available on DOCOMO in Japan.  This adds to the long list of carriers and countries where the Galaxy S has been available for a while now.  The phone will get to the island intact with all its features including its 4-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, Android 2.2 OS (not 2.1, mind), and 5-megapixel camera among others.  In addition to the Android Market and the Samsung Apps,

KOODO Mobile, the Telus-owned Canadian carrier who provides low-end cellphones on low-end plans is now looking to jump into the Android fray, if rumors are to be believed.   Nothing is concrete yet about what kind of devices or when they will actually be on its lineup, but looking at KOODO’s previous offerings, we would put our bets on low-end Android devices like the Motorola Backflip or the Charm, although it would not be surprising if

The popular desktop media player is now available on the Android platform too, but only for devices that are running Android 2.1 or higher builds. The application is beta right now but does have all the basic features asked of a music player on Android with a few extras including: Sync with Winamp desktop library over WiFi or USB Widget player for easy access directly on the home screen with the ability to control playback

The apps keep popping up and after Shazam recently, the newest app to surface for the Windows Phone 7 OS is the Slingplayer Mobile, with a lot of improvements over its predecessor on the Windows Mobile platform.  Well, not the actual app but a video of the application working its wares and although it is still a work in progress and has not made it to the Marketplace yet, the Slingplayer Mobile does show quite

While Froyo is still on its way to many users around the world, we now have news on the next iteration of Google’s OS, Android 3.0 aka the Gingerbread.  As with their names, the features also seem to get sweeter, with the 3.0 version rumored to add more functionality to the already popular mobile operating system at the moment.  The most prominent of these upcoming features will include Google Talk video chat, using the same

If it was a video for Froyo, we would have rejoiced but at the moment, even Eclair should be good enough for us.  Sony Ericsson has just put a video of the aging Xperia X10 (currently on 1.6) running on Android 2.1 and the improvements that the newer version offers.  The video has been shot on an updated X10 to show off its HD 720p recording prowess, which actually does seem to do a good

For those of our readers waiting on a release date for the Galaxy Tab in the good ol’ US of A, we have some great news.  Verizon will be adding the popular Android tablet to its shelves next month, November 11th to be exact.  The tablet will be going for $599 (off contract with no subsidy) with a monthly $20 data plan (1GB data transfer), which might sound a bit steep but considering it hides

Continuing on with Google’s dessert-themed name fetish, it has now come to light that the fourth iteration of the popular Android operating system might simply be called, “Ice Cream.” We have seen the Cupcake (1.5), Donut (1.6), Eclair (2.1) and most recently Froyo (2.2) and following on from these alphabetically, Android 3.0 has already been christened Gingerbread, and 3.5 is supposedly going to be called Honeycomb, so it’s highly likely that the next version will

Meet the newest Android member of the AT&T family, the Motorola Flipout.  If you are on AT&T and would like a different form factor while not missing out on the goodies that Android brings, the Flipout might just be the one for you. For features, the Flipout supports triband HSPA and quadband GSM/EDGE networks and runs on Android 2.1 with a customized version of MotoBLUR to accommodate for its unique pivot-out form factor and QWERTY

It’s already available in Germany and is getting ready to conquer the UK come November 1st. Now, Russia joins the list of countries where the Galaxy Tab is available for a cool 36,990 rubles which translates roughly to $1220 (unlocked). The much-anticipated Android tablet should be available in Svyaznoy stores starting at 5pm today. We have already reported on the Galaxy Tab’s stellar features but for those emerging from under a rock, it packs a

HTC has jut put up a couple of videos on its YouTube channel showing off its upcoming Windows 7 phones, the HTC 7 Pro and the HTC 7 Surround.  First seen at the Windows Phone 7 launch, the HTC 7 Pro is aimed mainly at business users with its QWERTY keypad, easy email access and the lure of business-oriented apps from HTC.  The phone does look great on the really short video, but it definitely
