Google Earth Is Finally Coming To Android

The Nexus One is here, and it brings gifts: Google Earth, a fantastic app that was inexplicably released for the iPhone before its parent company’s mobile OS, is coming to the App Market. So how is it better than Google Earth on the iPhone? Voice search. Just say where you want to go. And we’re…

Motorola’s Rumored Superthin Android Phone Sounds Spectacular

We had few complaints with the Droid, and the Sholes tablet, Occiphobic as it may be, is lustable, without a doubt. But Motorola’s alleged next phone, the .35-inch-thick, 1080p-capable Shadow/Mirage, makes Motorola’s current Android lineup look old-fashioned. https://gizmodo.com/motorola-droid-review-5396168 All we’ve got for now is a crude rendering and a dubiously sourced Chinese leak, but given…

Nerds Win: Nexus One Rooted Before It’s Even Officially Unveiled

Even more impressive than the Droid’s quick rooting, the Nexus One has been conquered from the inside before Google has even officially announced it. https://gizmodo.com/motorola-droid-has-been-rooted-5422094 The guy behind the rooting, a Modaco forum-goer named Paul, successfully rooted the coveted Nexus One and made a custom ROM called Superboot to ease the method for everyone else—not…

Android 2.1 Ported To G1, Official OTA Download Coming Soon?

The last time we heard about the antiqued G1 being loaded with 2.1 it turned out to be fake, so we’re not holding our breath now. Nonetheless, AndroidSpin user Drizzy is claiming success, with the ROM on its way. Speculation is also pointing at an official over-the-air 2.0 or 2.1 upgrade for the G1, but…

Rumor: Two New Motorola Android Phones To Be Announced Next Week

Motorola hasn’t exactly been shy with telling people how many Android phones they’ll be releasing in 2010, so it’s no surprise to hear that they’ll be showing off “a pair of new phones” at next week’s CES. We try to not put much weight on analysts’ speculations, but Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry is…

Woah, That’s a Lot of Android 1.5s and 2.0.1s

Android Developers have published a chart breaking down platform usage based on visits to the Android Market for a 14-day period beginning on December 1st. The amount of 1.5s and 2.0.1s running out there is actually quite interesting. The high 2.0.1 figure is a good indicator of how quickly the Droid has caught on, which…

Android Event Scheduled for January 5th: The Google Phone Is Nigh

Invites just went out for an Android event at Google HQ, scheduled for a week from today. They don’t mention the Nexus One, but they don’t have to.
