How would you change Google’s Nexus One?
April 5, 2010 by Max · Leave a Comment
It hasn’t quite been out (in public hands, anyway) for two months, but Google’s Nexus One has managed to grab the world’s attention and focus it squarely on Android. Specs wise, it’s not the superphone that many had expected, but it’s certainly delightful in its own right. For those who have sprung for one, we’re [...]

We’ve just taken delivery of an AT&T-branded Motorola Backflip — the carrier’s very first Android device — and we wanted to share with you our magical first moments putting the phone through its paces. Here’s a quick rundown of our first impressions: It feels solidly-built — probably a notch better than the CLIQ. There’s no [...]

For a device with as much superphone street cred as the Milestone, you’d think a basic task like listening to music through the headphone jack would be a cakewalk. No problems, right? So straightforward, really, that it’s not even worth testing thoroughly — and therein lies the problem, it seems. Milestone owners on both sides [...]

Well isn’t this good to know. The Mini 5 isn’t even coming out for at least another month, yet already we’re hearing Dell has big plans for what’s to follow. Wired has the dish straight from Neeraj Choubey, GM of Dell’s tablet division, that there will be “a family of tablets” which will “scale up [...]

Looking to fight an apparent outbreak of FUD, Adobe’s Flash evangelist Mark Doherty has posted some hard numbers (and accompanying video) on the effect Flash 10.1 has on the Nexus One — and put simply, it really doesn’t appear to have much effect at all. To back up his cause, Doherty plays a 17-minute embedded [...]
Motorola Backflip Releasing Android
Mobile operator AT&T is finally getting its first Android-powered device in the form of the Motorala Backflip, featuring a “reverse flip” design, QWERTY keyboard, and a “backtrack” touch panel that lets the display be hands-free while a user’s fingers work behind the screen. Plus, the entire phone can be propped up in a “table mode” [...]

We don’t think we’re over-reaching when we say that this device, Sungworld’s just-unveiled 7-inch, Android touchscreen MID looks a bit… well, Apple-ish, and we hear that the UI (which we haven’t yet seen in action) will take cues from the company as well. Regardless, this thickish-looking puppy will boast an ARM926 CPU, 128MB of memory, [...]
