Rogers Wireless is about to unleash the first 3D smartphones to hit Canada with the launch of the HTC EVO 3D and the LG Optimus 3D. Pricing hasn’t been released, nor has a specific launch date, but no doubt like many other new smartphones, they’ll both be priced around $99.99 at launch with a new [...]

It may have taken a long while for T-Mobile UK to roll out Android 2.2 Froyo to Motorola Defy owners in the UK, but it will happen finally, starting in the beginning of July. Heh, I know, that ‘very specific date’ wouldn’t lend much confidence for me either. That said, it has been made know [...]

After the last report, we saw that Android 2.2 and up devices totalled over 70% of the total OS mix for Android devices. Now we see that’s has come up a little more to 74.4%. This is mainly due to the amount of Android 2.3 – Android 3.1 devices being a little more frequent in [...]

ViewSonic ViewPad 10 Finally Gets 2.2, Making Dual-Boot Worthwhile

by Mitch Wright
tagged android 2.2, Viewsonic Viewpad

On paper, the ViewPad 10 was a really cool device, bringing dual-booting to those people that needed (or just wanted) both some Android and some Windows 7 features. It was like a software peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In practice, the problem came with the fact that the tablet came with Android 1.6, an outdated [...]

Android 2.3 Gingerbread coming soon to T-Mobile LG G2x

I find it interesting that there are phones being released with Android 2.2 Froyo instead of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread. I wouldn’t buy a new phone in which the manufacturer does not make their plans known about where they stand with Gingerbread. For those that agree, and are a little nervous about getting the new [...]

Motorola let out a tweet Friday which stated they were beginning to rollout an update for the Motorola DROID Pro, which I’m sure many users got very excited about. The tweet, as you can see above, is a little misleading, because after reading that, heck, I’d be excited too. But alas, it’s not Gingerbread. They [...]

We heard back in January that Froyo was coming in “Spring 2011“, then we heard mid February that Virgin was releasing [...]

Virgin Mobile has made the HTC Incredible S a go for launch in Canada, and has put it up on their site for purchase for $99.00 on a 3 year contract, or $499 outright or on a monthly. Those prices are pretty decent considering you get the following specs; Sense UI 4-inch Multi-Touch Screen (480 x 800 [...]
