I will take my iDoug Dark Lord mantle off and resume my normal news reporting by letting you all know that if you are on the fence about getting the Dell Streak, the Android 5 inch Tablet then you might be swayed by learning that Best buy is now offering the Dell Streak for $100.00 … Read more
Last week David K talked about Infinity Blade and how it might be the game of the year. Now there is another game that brings the Unreal Engine to the iPhone and Android, Dungeon Defenders: First wave by Trendy Entertainment. This is a game that is based on tower defense action-rpg. The game also includes … Read more
Two weird things about the Nexus S. The first is that it doesn’t shoot video in HD. Most cell phones shoot in 720 – that’s a resolution of 1280×720 (921,600 pixels). The Nexus S takes video in 720 x 480 (345,600 pixels). That’s just above VGA (640×480 = 307,200). That’s just weak sauce man. The … Read more
An update to the Android Market is starting to roll out. They’ve improved the promoted apps interface, it’s easier to find apps and widgets and live wallpapers just got their own categories. Related content has also been added. One other nice feature is increased app size to 50mb. But one oddity is that they’ve limited … Read more

If you have an Android 2.2 device go to the Android Market and get your update on. Yes, you can update this without updating the OS. The app was rebuilt from the ground up to mirror the YouTube desktop experience and is our fastest, most intuitive YouTube mobile app to date. What’s new: In-page playback: … Read more
In the comments to the WP7 app data post it seems like we’re all starting to talk about what app pricing should look like so let’s focus on it a little bit here. The MS Marketplace is supposed to be a place for devs to make money and presumably that’s in sales and it isn’t … Read more
In the never ending battle between smartphones, there are many types of reports, relying on different sources (ads, web browsing, sales figures which are never formal, etc.).
I will try to make some order in this statistical mess by giving you one final answer: iPhone.
(OK, just kidding… )
But seriously, here’s a collection figures that may help you understand what’s going on in mobility. As none of them is absolute of course, I’m counting on you to make the math by yourselves.
Normally the lack of removable storage (an SD card) wouldn’t be a big deal but in this post-Windows Phone 7 apparently it’s a must-have feature. And you would think that a phone in the Nexus lineup would have it since the Nexus One was a developer device and it’s still a non-retail store (well Best … Read more
Don’t watch this if you get car sick… What do you think? Like it? Buying One? Two?
It’s the real deal. Here are the specs: Large battery, of course the first Android 2.3 device, a gyroscope and NFC. Before we get to the rest of the details: “Nexus S can be purchased (unlocked) online and in-store from Best Buy retailers in the U.S. starting after December 16 and at Carphone Warehouse retailers … Read more
YES! I have been out of town working this week and when I got back to the hotel I fired up my Dell Streak (without SIM card) and immediately as always checked to see if the Froyo Android 2.2 update has finally landed, and YES! It’s finally here! It’s 3:00am and I can barely see … Read more
