AT&T may begin throttling “unlimited” users soon: it’s time for some answers

By Michael Crider
on 7 Feb, 2012

Android users are a data-hungry bunch: we download music, movies, games, and no small amount of regular web and other data. Of course, we pay the same as regular mobile Internet users, for the most part - a fact that's led both AT&T and Verizon to abandon their formerly unlimited data plans for more rigid tiers. But if you're lucky enough to have had an unlimited plan when the change went into effect, you're grandfathered in... much to the dismay of both company's accounting departments. For AT&T at least, it looks like they're finally taking steps to encourage users to change their "data hog" ways. A Wall Street Journal writer got hit with a warning that he was in the top 5% of users on his iPhone, and his service would be intentionally slowed soon if he didn't change his ways.

The most important addition to the Android Market in a while is easily Wikipedia's official Android app, developer Teragadgets has something a little more lighthearted for Android users. DroidTropes is exactly what is sounds like: an Android app made specifically for pop culture knowledge vault TVTropes.org. The app is a free download and works with Android versions 2.1 and later.

PopCap’s Plants vs Zombies and Peggle finally hitting the Android Market

By Michael Crider
on 13 Dec, 2011

If you're into PC or mobile gaming at all, odds are you're either obsessed with or apathetic towards PopCap. The indie developer is famous for small, simple and wickedly addicting games, most notably Bejewled, Plants vs Zombies and Peggle. Bejewled has been available in the Android Market for a while by way of EA, but the latter two are finally coming to play in Google's house, after months of exclusivity on the Amazon AppStore.

Microsoft sues Motorola for patent infringement

By Shane McGlaun
on 23 Aug, 2011

We all know that one of the key reasons that Google gobbled up Motorola Mobility was for the patent treasure trove that Motorola owned. Microsoft was said to be eying the purchase of Motorola Mobility as well, strictly for the patents. In fact, some sources claimed that Motorola went with Google over Microsoft because Microsoft planned to shutter the mobile operations.

DROID3 and Motorola XOOM LTE Announced in Verizon MAP, Close to Launch!

By Chris Burns
on 20 Jun, 2011

It appears that our friends at DroidLife have just been handed another piece to the ongoing puzzle we've got going here with two devices of some note: the DROID3 (aka DROID 3 with a space as this release would have us believe,) and the Motorola XOOM LTE. The latter device is the subject of an extended accessories post we just added this morning to the Android Community feed, thought the name is certainly worth some discussion. There are two versions of the Motorola XOOM currently available for sale, that being the Verizon connected version which is, as they say, upgradable to 4G LTE, and the Wi-Fi only version which you can get at Target. Now they're speaking of an LTE version of the tablet, which should be all means be confusing to those already owning a XOOM from Verizon as they've been promised an upgrade to LTE in the near future.

Samsung Infuse 4G Review

By Chris Burns
on 9 May, 2011

Behold, the herald of Galactus!* Truly if ever there were a phone sent by a manufacturer to pave way for a much more powerful phone, this is it. The Samsung Infuse 4G is to the untrained eye a gigantic screen with a powerful single-core engine under the hood and a big fat camera on the back of a "razor thin" candybar form factor. The Samsung Infuse 4G is currently the the holder of the biggest and brightest display of all Android devices classified as a handset. Larger than this and they're tablets. Smaller than this and they're just pipsqueaks with a weight problem. Will it stand up to the current state whilst riding on into a future with a big cousin looming quickly overhead? View here a conundrum!

Xperia PLAY Android ROM Dump

By Chris Burns
on 6 Apr, 2011

A relative newcomer (or so it would appear) to the game, son1c, has dumped the Xperia PLAY ROM on XDA Developer Forums. This is rather exciting as once this occurs, the rest of the fun can begin. We're in a bit of an odd place at the moment when it comes to this phone as it's not officially launched here in the USA, but basically the rest of the world has it in their hands - so we're sort of relying on the rest of the earth to let us in on the fun until we've got it here.

Well now we've been given quite a treat here! Now that the Xperia PLAY has been released in several places around the world, it's been being ripped apart for several minutes, hours, and days, and now its guts are being distributed across the earth. What we've got here is not only the regular set of wallpaper images at full size, but several APK files ripped from the original build of this brand new Playstation phone. Have a peek below and devour!

Motorola ATRIX 4G HD Dock Review

By Chris Burns
on 20 Feb, 2011

This is a dock that'll allow you and your Motorola ATRIX 4G to work with any number of larger screens, connections to three USB ports as well as a 3.5mm stereo audio output as well as HDMI and of course, power. This dock can connect to a wired keyboard and mouse via the USB ports, but there is a wireless mouse and keyboard that works as well. When your phone is connected to the dock, your phone is transformed into the Motorola Webtop user interface, allowing you to work it as an HDTV (seeing this then on the tiny screen as well as the gigantic screen you're connecting to more than likely.)

NFL Reciever Chad Ochocinco to Catch a XOOM Honeycomb Tablet in 2011

By Chris Burns
on 30 Dec, 2010

This dude has the weirdest haircut. This is NFL Reciever Chad Ochocinco, number 85, a dude who, if you're not aware, was responsible way back for pushing Verizon's Motorola Devour earlier this year. Ochocinco has Tweeted his glee on "getting that Motorola tablet" in early 2011, a sure sign that he'll be brought on to promote the device in a similar manner to the Devour. Rumors are also that Verizon plans on tossing a bunch of money at the Superbowl for a spot on the screen to promote their tablet as well.
