For mobile smartphone dominance, there’s only two horses fighting for first: Apple and Samsung. After iSuppli estimated that Samsung now ships more total phones than the previous leader Nokia, IDC now claims that the South Korean company has ousted Apple from its perch atop smartphone shipments as well. They estimate that Samsung shipped 42.2 million …
There’s a lot of Samsung news on Android Community lately, but can you blame us?

If you’ve been following smartphone news from some non-Android sources, you probably know that Nokia’s Lumia 900 has made quite the splash over on AT&T.

What’s more fun than modding an Android smartphone? Well, lots of things, but one of them is modding a competing smartphone to run Android. There are many who admire Nokia’s beautiful hardware and industrial design, but lament its home-grown software (or the Windows Phone 7 platform they’re now stuck with).

What looks to be a Nokia N9 prototype running Android has emerged in leaked images. Discovered over at the Weibo forums (1, 2; registration required) the images seem to show Android 2.3 Gingerbread on the new smartphone. Now, it’s worth noting that a fake image showing the same thing would be relatively straightforward to put …
Let’s speak for a moment about a non-Android cousin of our favorite mobile operating system and it’s hardware buddies.
