So this is interesting. Motorola and Verizon officially announce the Motorola Droid X2 which seems to be a very well speced phone, but the external design appears to be identical to the original Droid X except they apparently decided to remove [...]

Sascha joined me in the studio last night for a full-on 3.5hr marathon testing and discussion session with 10 different tablets. The iPad2, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Acer Iconia Tab A500, HTC Flyer, Blackberry Playbook and Samsung Galaxy Tab were the focus of our efforts and we recorded three parts of the live session for [...]

This is totally unplanned so it should work out perfectly! Update: The Live Session is over. I’ll be writing a follow-up soon but please check out the recorded videos on YouTube – They’re well worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=PL21405378FDB03DF9 Late notice: Sascha has turned up in my neighborhood with the Playbook, Transformer and iPad2. I have the [...]

Let’s talk about Worms. No, no that kind… For the uninitiated, Worms is a popular game franchise developed by Team17. It is a type of artillery game where players control a team of cartoonish worms and use creative weaponry to defat the opposing team. Here’s a brief video to give you an idea of the [...]

Don’t forget that we’re doing a Live Review of the Flyer on Wednesday evening at 2100 CEST (your timezone here) where we do a detailed, 2hr review of the HTC Flyer with you in the chat session asking questions and steering the testing. It’s free, fun, detailed and interactive and likely to give you all [...]

The HTC Flyer I ordered on Friday has literally just arrived at the door and Im looking forward to ripping this open and seeing how it compares to the Galaxy Tab which is currently the most popular 7″ tablet on the market and has been a very good companion to me for over 6 months now. [...]

Our Motorola Xoom has finally managed to find the Android 3.1 Honeycomb update that Google pushed out the other day. We gave you a thorough overview of the 3.1 update based on the official information provided, but there’s only so much that text can say [...]

Our pal Chris Davies over at Slashgear has a solid unboxing video featuring the upcoming HTC Flyer. We’ve got lots of upcoming coverage for this device, but this is a great way to get a jump start on becoming familiar with this very interesting 7” tablet.

Last night I took the plunge and dumped the official 2.3.3 Gingerbread upgrade on my Galaxy Tab via the ‘side-loading’ method based on an copy of the firmware being rolled out in Europe (but not available here in Germany yet.) I used simple instructions from The Galaxy Tab Forum (Hat Tip XDA Developers) and flashed [...]

Its true! You’ might have heard about it at Slashgear, Engadget or The Unwired but I’ve made a few phone calls and sure enough, there’s stock available in Europe. The HTC Flyer could be in your hands in 24hrs. Full specifications, links, videos  updated in our product page. The HTC Store in the UK has [...]

At Google I/O 2011, Honeycomb 3.1, which brings a number of user and developer enhancements, has been officially announced and detailed. Google also says that Honeycomb 3.1 will be making its way to Google TV powered devices this summer; very exciting news as it means that Google TV devices will now have access to apps [...]

I managed to get a few hours hands on with the Blackberry Playbook today. First impression out of the box was: Wow, it’s tiny.

According to Pocket-Lint.com, citing “reliable sources”, ViewSonic is poised to launch a 7” Android tablet that will run Honeycomb (check out the shape of the cam and flash in the photo… pretty wild). You’ll no doubt recall that ViewSonic already has a 7” Android device on the market, the ViewSonic ViewPad 7, but it’s only [...]

You may have caught our story the other day about the Iconia Tab A100/101 being available for pre-order from Amazon UK with a launch-date set for May 14th. Unfortunately it looks like Amazon wasn’t dead-on with their release-date info. A recent check-up Amazon’s page for the device has revealed that the reported launch-date has been pushed back

Android is a wonderful phone OS, but Google’s choice to leave the pushing of updates in the hands of OEMs or carriers is a real sour-point for the otherwise praised mobile OS. Hopefully, that’s about to change. Time and time again we’ve heard stories of devices that have been waiting to get major Android updates [...]

The oft rumored service from Google has finally been announced at Google I/O and is currently operating as a free invitation-only beta service that only works in the US. No word as to whether or not it’ll find its way to other countries, but knowing how resistant the music labels are to these kinds of [...]
