Screen-Shot-2011-08-29-at-9.36.18-AM

We have heard quite a few times now that the HTC Vigor will be released with an upgraded version of Sense UI, bringing it up to 3.5. Up until now though we've only been able to look at Sense 3.0 and think about what could be better. For those of us, like myself, that don't want to go through all that hassle, we now have what looks like a video … [Read more...]

Ready for another Rube Golber machine? The Sony S1 and S2 tablets haven't had much facetime since their announcement back in April, but since then Sony has teased us with videos depicting long and elaborate Rube Golberg machines that until now have only shown us how much time Sony has to waste.

New Android Market announced, manual download available

new-android-market1-360x600

Getting tired of that boring style the Android Market has been showing off lately? We agree completely, which is why this new Android Market design should have you all pretty excited. The new UI has a very WP7 feel to it, but overall it looks like things will be much easier to find and it will be a lot more fun searching. Finally added to this … [Read more...]

Sony-S2-Video

So far what we've seen of either Sony tablet has been a little... disappointing. It isn't that we didn't like the announcement video that showed off the tablets, or the Rube Golberg Machine video, but they really didn't give us a taste of what the tablets actually look like in somebody's hands. Thankfully, someone was able to sneak a quick video of … [Read more...]

Droid-Charge-2.3.3

We all know by now that Samsung really hasn't been the best at updating their Android phones to the latest OS, at least for their Galaxy lineup. The DROID Charge looked to be in a similar situation, with the only update for the phone being a simple bug fixer. There hasn't been any word from Verizon or Samsung on when the phone would be getting the … [Read more...]

AlphaRev-Incredible-2

We were beginning to wonder if the HTC DROID Incredible 2 would ever get a permanent root solution, but we shouldn't have put it past the devs. The AlphaRev team has just recently released a video showing off their great work fully unlocking the Dinc 2 for custom ROM action. As of right now the team is working on cleaning out the kinks of the … [Read more...]

[Video]Sony showing off new tablets with a Rube Golberg machine

Sony-Tablets-ad

In another move by Sony that we really don't understand, they have released the first of five videos that will show off their new tablets using a Rube Golberg machine. Now, we aren't saying that this isn't one of the coolest things a company has done to promote something. It's awesome to see the lighting effects that cast certain shadows across the … [Read more...]
