Welcome

There has been a lot of talk flying around about the Google selling the XPhone directly to consumers on a build to order basis that would allow users to customize the hardware (and presumably some aspect of the casing, like color). This hands down is the most exciting rumor we have heard so far and [...]

So there has been a furry of rumors about the specs of the phone. I missed the boat a little bit, some personal issues prevented me from posting but here we go. There are two sets of rumors. One with really impressive specs and one with somewhat disappointing ones. The interesting thing is that the [...]

I was unable to attend the launch event for the Galaxy S4 which from what I read is a good thing. The picture above is not a random Broadway show but rather the train wreck of an overly stylized, misconceived, full of yourself launch. Since I was not there, I will not say much more [...]

Vic Gundotra has gotten everybody’s panties in a bundle when he made a remark this remark: While this is good news it does not really tell us much.

Sorry party people. I have been out for the count the last couple weeks. I was very disappointed to see not much has happened since I last posted. I was hoping that the CES would produce some news but the major players basically sat this one out. Samsung was there, mostly touting their new televisions, [...]

There has been a lot of talk about the fragmentation problem that Android has. To many live OS versions, with subversion, with multiple screen sizes, witch carrier specific overlays, with phone specific overlays, ect. But that is not what I want to talk about. This is about the proliferation of not versions of Android, but [...]

There has been little news to emerge since the initial breaking of the Google X Phone rumor. We will be talking later this week about possible specs of the phone, but without any information it is going to be all conjecture. Google announced that is yearly IO conference will be held May 15 – 17. [...]

How thin is too thin? How light is too light? I may be in the minority but I like my tech to have some heft to it. I used to own the original Motorola Droid, of the best design features was the strong feeling heaviness to it. A concept video was just released (see below) [...]
