We still have yet to hear of this thing outside of India and South Korea, but the Dell Venue has been rooted. We’re sure a good chunk of our reader base doesn’t have this phone, but for the sake of anticipation, we’ll inform you guys anyway. A quick download of the drivers needed and a Superoneclick root application is all you’ll need to get started. XDA has the instructions you need here. [Thanks, BonBonDude!] Download the driver file from Dell. (A Windows-based PC is … [Read more...]
Sony Ericsson has announced that their current range of Xperia products – namely the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 X10 Mini, X10 Mini Pro, and the X8 – will be receiving maintenance upgrades to fix bugs and add new features. (Sorry folks: no Froyo for you.) The update will add Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, and Thai languages, will enable the ANT+ technology that we heard about yesterday, and more. And most importantly, the Xperia X10 will finally receive multitouch. (Sorry, Minis: no love for you … [Read more...]
Konami took a while to come to Android compared to other big names such as EA and Activision, but I’ve always been a big believer in “better late than never.” They’ve unleashed their first game: a football franchise – Pro Evolution Soccer. A quick glance at the game’s preview shots show it’s no kiddy finger-flicking slouch of an experience. It’s a realistic footie game for fans of the sport. (And there are a lot of you.) As EA holds exclusive rights to FIFA clubs, Konami uses … [Read more...]
The good folks at Mozilla just chimed in to inform us of a new beta release (4) of Firefox 4 for Android Beta. They’ve been hammering away at the app ever since Google released the Android NDK, and while it’s been more of a diamond in the rough, you have to expect that they’ll get it up to speed soon enough. They’re touting speed improvements across the board: not only have they promised increased application performance (particularly in the neighborhoods of panning and zooming), but … [Read more...]
We first saw the LG G-Slate at CES but hands-on demos were elusive. In the past week we’ve seen it get sneaked on YouTube and dated in rumors. Now, with Google’s Android 3.0 Honeycomb Event being held within about 12 hours, it seems the timing was perfect for LG and T-Mobile to remind us of the T-Mobile G-Slate with a few more official details. I think I know at least ONE thing that will be on display tomorrow. Ahem Ahem. A few highlights: Android 3.0 3D Playback and Recording … [Read more...]
In addition to teasing us with some three dimensional details of the T-Mobile G-Slate, that we HOPE will be shown off tomorrow, T-Mobile took a moment out of their day to remind us that the iPhone isn’t really that good. Why get an iPhone when it’s only 3G on both the AT&T and Verizon versions? They’d much rather you pick up the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and tonight they provided some details to help make that decision. First of all, T-Mobile is expecting a February launch which is good … [Read more...]
We’ve heard all about the HTC Inspire 4G release date and potential pricing so not a whole lot remains uncovered except for the retail packaging many of you want to ever so powerfully rip apart on February 13th. To ease the pain of an almost 2-week wait, check out this 1-minute video from AT&T themselves and a few quick impressions supplied by PC World who apparently have the device in-house: And the relevant PC World pointers: Well, the Inspire doesn’t have a front-facing … [Read more...]
The next generation of Sony’s Vivaz handsets most likely won’t be carrying the name any farther than some fading rumors, as new whispers from inside SE are suggesting the device first leaked not long ago will launch under the name Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo. This shouldn’t be too surprising. Though the handset seems to be inspired by the old Vivaz, the implementation of Android spells out something a bit distant from its predecessor. Word is it will most likely get an announcement at … [Read more...]
Sony Ericsson just took to YouTube with a video detailing ANT+ – a communication standard used to communicate with all sorts of fitness products such as pedometers, heart rate monitors, and more. It’s software based – so all of their products will get it sooner or later – and enables you to look at your vitals on your phone. It’s a great solution for those who use more than one vitality sensor at once while they’re working out – this’ll feed you all the information you need to … [Read more...]
