After talking about the DROID Bionic almost daily for what seemed like months its time has sort of faded away. Other than a few updates and bug fixes it hasn't been in the news much but this deal from Costco is worth the shout out. If you don't need the biggest or best smartphone out and want a top notch 4G LTE smartphone this deal is one to see.

Motorola is getting set to release yet another update to their popular Motorola DROID Bionic 4G LTE smartphone.

I have some great news for all of the DROID Bionic owners around these parts. Remember that huge list of bugs that Verizon acknowledged and said they'd be fixing in a future update? Well it's finally ready and should be rolling out extremely soon. We recently heard it would be released before the end of the year, and it looks like Verizon will hold true to their word because they've just informed us that it's ready and will be rolling out soon.

Maybe its just me but when Motorola had like 6 months and multiple delays with the DROID Bionic you'd have thought it would be pretty stellar out of the box, and it was (see our review) but it also had a slew of minor bugs and issues that need fixing. Motorola has acknowledges some of these and promised an update in November. Now we are finally getting a small update and while that is good, the November time frame isn't looking as great.

Right after it was released and well over a month ago we got our first look at CM7 on the DROID Bionic, but today we have another video to tease all of you Bionic owners with. This shows it actually dual booting into CM7, and I want it already. Apparently the developer hashcode was able to get CM7 booting on the DROID3 and the same little trick is working just great for the new DROID Bionic, check out the video below.

The eyes of the world were on Cupertino today, as Apple unveiled their next generation iPhone 5 slightly improved iPhone 4S.

To see how the iPhone 4S stacks up against the competition, we pitted the flagship phones from Samsung, Motorola, HTC and LG against it in a hardware showdown.

Ever wonder when Hulu would get on the ball and add more Android phones to the officially supported list? I know I've been highly disappointed with the current offering but today that's changed a bit. While Hulu still doesn't offer support for a wide array of devices today however they've added 8 additional phones with the update that is available now in the Android Market.

Just a little public service announcement for all the DROID Bionic buyers out there. That Bionic Costco bundle deal we mentioned a few weeks ago is legit and currently available right now. Yup, you get the Droid Bionic as well as the desktop dock, car navigation dock, car charger, and portable charger with a spare battery all for just $279 -- that is $20 less than Verizon is asking for just the phone.
