Verizon are going all out to position the Motorola DROID as a significant event, not just for Android devices but for the smartphone market in general, and that demands some serious testing. With sales of the Android 2.0 handset set to begin early on Friday morning, we’ve been playing with the DROID since its [...]

Budget HTC Tattoo gets reviewed at SlashGear
Over at SlashGear our review of the HTC Tattoo has just gone live, and if you’ve been wondering whether putting HTC Sense into a budget smartphone makes, well, any sense whatsoever, you’ll want to be heading over there to find out. The Tattoo gets much of the connectivity of its more expensive siblings, but pairs [...]
Motorola CLIQ gets full SlashGear review
Motorola’s first attempt at an Android device – the Motorola CLIQ (aka the DEXT outside of the US) – certainly tries to deliver a lot for a first-gen device, and over at SlashGear we’ve been putting it through its paces. The main effort has obviously gone into its MOTOBLUR social networking system, which attempts to [...]
Our HTC Hero review goes live at SlashGear
Our review of the HTC Hero is finally ready, and it’s no understatement to say that this Android smartphone impressed us greatly. Back in our unboxing video and HTC Sense demo we suggested that the Hero could be the best Android device to date, and the time we’ve spent with the handset has left us [...]
HTC Magic camera sample photos & video
One of the questions we’ve been most asked about the HTC Magic is regarding its camera quality. HTC used the same 3.2-megapixel sensor as in the T-Mobile G1, albeit with some software refinement, so that means it’s the same autofocus unit with no flash. As promised, we’ve got some sample photos taken with the HTC [...]
Vodafone HTC Magic review
For a long time now, Android and the T-Mobile G1 have been pretty much synonymous, defining not only form-factor but functionality of what makes a “Google Phone”. Gatecrashing that arrangement comes the HTC Magic, second Android smartphone to reach the market and the slimmer, prettier sibling to the G1, bringing with it the latest iteration [...]
Android Community Week in Review – Week 1 2009
We started the week off with a hardware hack that allows users to use the T-Mobile G1 with an iPod dock and speakers. Though this hack is not pretty and only somewhat useful, it is very interesting and really gives the iPod the good old one two. Open source developers who prefer using Python to Java [...]
Android Community Week in Review – Week 48 2008
Last week we reported that a user that goes by the name RyeBrye found the capability of multi-touch in the T-Mobile G1. Well he’s back and this time he brings us video proof. You can see clearly traces of multiple fingers at one time on the screen of the G1. It has occurred to many that [...]
Android Community Week in Review – Week 45 2008
Verizon made a bold move this week, taking shots at the Android platform. They have a few valid points, and a few points that did not make sense. It is really not fair to compare a service provider with a range of phones, plans and operating systems, to a single phone that is the first [...]
Android Community Week in Review – Week 44 2008
Sprint has commented on their future with Android this week. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse, told the media that Android is not (yet) good enough for the Sprint name. This certainly comes as a surprise to us as Sprint is one of the founding companies of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA). Android Community shared an unlocking [...]
