Last week, we told you about HuddleHub, an app which seemed like it was going to be Android’s only solution for managing an ESPN Fantasy Football team, until now.  Not to be outdone, ESPN has released their own application, only this one isn’t free.

The app can be purchased for $4.99, and while this is definitely on the high-end in terms of app pricing, it is feature rich, and should keep Fantasy Football fans very busy on their Android phones.  You can add and drop players, check projections, injuries, player cards, matchups, and much more.

Rate and download: ESPN Fantasy Football 2010 ($4.99)

The recently announced Motorola Milestone 2, along with the rugged Defy, were seen on display at IFA this past week.  Both devices are heading to Vodafone Germany, which will likely happen fairly soon.  The Milestone 2 is essentially the Euro Droid 2, boasting Android 2.2, a slide out QWERTY keyboard, a 1GHz chip, and the ability to record video in 720p.

The Defy is one tough cookie, featuring a Gorilla glass display, as well as an 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 2GB internal storage.  Check out some additional photos of these two devices below.

UPDATE: HTC Event – 15th Sept London

Anticipation is building around the event that HTC have announced in London for next Wednesday. This event has become so popular that the Facebook page now has 409 listed as attending. So I thought I would give HTC in the UK a call to try and find out a bit more about the event.

I asked a number of questions about the expected large turn out. The event is strictly a non-ticketed affair and will be a first-come-first-serve deal. So if you want to get in, I suggest you turn up early. The guy from HTC said that there wouldn’t any need to camp over night, but to just make sure your there before doors open.

The Facebook event page mentions a few freebies:

We will also have a few phones to give away to attendees!

I asked about this, to which HTC replied:

We like to keep some things secret.

I also asked if everyone who gets in will get a phone. Unfortunately the answer was no, this will not be on the same scale as Google-IO with the Evo 4G.

The whole event sounds very promising and it is brilliant to see HTC getting to closer to their UK customers.

I will be heading down to the event to report back for TalkAndroid.com. If anyone else is planning on making an appearance, please leave a comment below.

With the success of the Galaxy S line of phones, Samsung has some high expectations for their upcoming Galaxy Tab.  Hankil Yoon, A Samsung product executive, told the Wall Street Journal that his company expects to ship over 10 million units, as well as take a third of the global tablet market next year.

This is certainly a bold expectation for Samsung, although, Apple did manage to sell 3 million iPads in only 80 days.  Samsung is obviously hoping that recent trends in Android growth will make this target possible, and perhaps they will prove to be right.

Samsung Galaxy Tab is pricing out to be expensive…or is it?

The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Tab has pricing numbers equivalent to that of a Six Flags roller coaster lately.  We have seen rumors from $200-400 in the U.S. with contract, and up to over $1000 in Germany unlocked.  Now we have news from Clove, an independent retailer in Europe confirming the price to be around £600 – which converts to about $760 dollars U.S.

We aren’t certain if that is with or without contract yet, but hopefully without.  If it is, I guess that’s the price to pay for being an early adopter, just keep in mind, the price wars haven’t even begun, and there are a lot of contestants looking to get into the tablet market race.

Samsung looks to be taking a queue from Sony and People of Lava, in that there next interest with Android might be to start using the Google OS in their future TVs.  Currently, Samsung uses their own Bada operating system for their smart televisions, but seeing how fast the consumer is adopting Android, this may change.  Samsung has already sold over 1 million 3D TVs in the US Market, but it looks like 3D isn’t going to be the only selling point in the next generation TV market.

What type of features do you want to see in your next TV and is Android one of them?  Let us know in the comments!
