Google Google Google???

April 11, 2016April 29, 2010 by David K

So it looks like Mr. Simmon’s struck again citing a series of crazy stats about how fast the Android marketplace is growing. Wow – they have 50,000 apps, an increase of 250% since January and they may take over Apple and all of that with 60% of the apps free. OMG that sounds awesome. But … Read more

Why does everyone keep insisting that Microsoft is sueing HTC?

October 7, 2025April 28, 2010 by Matt Anderson

So if you’ve been reading news pretty much anywhere, you know Microsoft is licensing its Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio to HTC. For some reason every news site I read for the majority of the day seems to think this is some attempt by Microsoft to get money. I think this is totally off-base. Yeah Microsoft is going to make some sweet cheddar on this deal, especially if they can pull licensing agreements across the Android board (Samsung, Motorola, etc.) but they’re the last group that really needs it. I’m seeing Microsoft trying to swoop in and save their primary handset maker in the wake of two major lawsuits. Here’s why…

SIRIUS XM Radio Coming Soon to Android-Powered Smartphones

April 7, 2016April 23, 2010 by Kristofer Brozio

The headline of this Press Release is a bit misleading, Yes, it’s a free app but it’s coming to the DROID and Nexus One only in May… and well it’s free app yes, but you’ve got to subscribe for the premium content, but you’ll get a 7 day free trial…. The whole PR is rather confusing really, it starts off with saying that the app will be available for free in May for Android powered smart phones, but then finished the paragraph by saying it’s only for the DROID and Nexus one… I was getting excited as I’ve got the Moto Backflip Android phone, but I got excited for nothing as the PR was just misleading and yes the app is free, but the service isn’t?! (I seem to be repeating myself don’t I?)

…anyway read this thing and you tell me what you think when you first start to read it:

SIRIUS XM Radio today announced that a free application for Android-powered smartphones will be available in May, giving consumers access to over 120 channels of sports, talk, entertainment, news, comedy and commercial-free music on the DROID by Motorola and the Google Nexus One.

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m just being overly sensitive here but why not for any other Android devices?

Oh well, read on for the full PR:

Nexus One 3G Issues SOLVED – Move Closer to The Tower

October 7, 2025April 22, 2010 by David K

We haven’t seen customer support since Apple advised iPad owners with WiFi connectivity issues to move closer to the router: It’s not the device…it’s the fact that you need to wave it around a bit to try to grab 3G waves that are flying by and if that fails you need to move under a … Read more

iPhone Dual Boots to Android

April 21, 2010 by David K

Not sure how I feel about this…like a dog chirping or something else that’s just not natural. Anyway Engadget is showing off a video of Android (1.6) running on the iPhone (2G). There’s button mapping but because the iPhone lacks buttons the volume button has been taken over. It’s interesting to watch…not sure why someone … Read more

A Little Note About That Android Rant

October 7, 2025April 21, 2010 by David K

Oh Mr. Simmons, you didn’t expect me to lie down and take that from you, did you? The once proud owner of BlownFuze has not just left Windows Mobile but he’s gone all Benedict Arnold up in here. But no, there will be no tarring, but it is fair to take a look at the rants of a man who has had too much Kool-Aid lately.
