Are major phone companies preparing to ditch the Android mobile operating system?
Samsung WaveIt’s an interesting question. Samsung recently introduced a new line of Wave phones using its own Bada operating system, and word out this week is that Taiwan-based HTC might be looking to move in a similar direction, perhaps by purchasing WebOS from HP. On August 18, HP announced that it was discontinuing its WebOS line of devices, including the HP TouchPad tablet and the yet-to-be-released HP Pre 3 smartphone.

DROID BIONIC Review
Smartphone users are a demanding lot. Give them the latest version of Android, big displays and 4G LTE connectivity, and they ask for a dual-core processor as well. Until now it’s been too much to ask of Verizon, but all that changed with the arrival of the much-anticipated DROID BIONIC by Motorola this week. Announced back at CES in January and then variously updated and delayed since, Verizon promises that this is the fastest 4G phone around. Is this finally the LTE Android to satisfy speed-freaks? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Could Android Jelly Bean Be the Successor to Ice Cream Sandwich?
Slow news day? How else to explain the buzz being generated by a thisismynext.com report about potential codenames for Google's follow up to its upcoming Android mobile operating system?

That said, interest in all things Android has certainly kept pace with the operating system's growing importance in the smartphone and tablet markets.

We’re hearing from a trusted source this afternoon that the next version of Android after Ice Cream Sandwich will be known as “Jelly Bean,” continuing Google’s longstanding tradition of naming Android builds after sweet treats in alphabetical order. What we don’t yet know is the version number — in fact, Google has yet to say what Ice Cream Sandwich’s version number will be, much less Jelly Bean’s.

As always, case designs get leaked out ahead of the actual product launch and they offer vital clues to what the end product could look like. However, rumors based on case designs have to be taken with a pinch of salt as these have
Samsung Yanks Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Exhibit After Court Order
Now you see it, now you don't: Samsung Electronics erased all traces of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 from its exhibition stand at the Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin on Saturday, just two days after launching the tablet there.
Until Sunday the left most sign advertised the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. It was replaced after the Galaxy Tab 7.7 disappeared from the company's booth at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin.

Samsung Galaxy Tab sold just 20000 out of 1m shipped, claims rival
An executive at Android tablet maker Lenovo claims that Samsung sold only 20,000 of the 1m tablets that it shipped last year as it tried to "buy share" from market leader Apple.The dramatically low figure suggests that Samsung's efforts with its first 7-inch tablet, launched exactly a year ago, fell far short of targets.Andrew Barrow, director of consumer products and pricing for Lenovo Western Europe, told the Guardian that the problem with trying to substantially undercut the price of the Apple iPad, of which around 30m have so far been sold, was that "any would be giving money

What happened to that guy that kept crying “Wolf!” all the time? HTC is, again, mentioning Gingerbread updates for a couple of phones that should have received the updates a long time ago, the HTC Thunderbolt and the HTC Droid Incredible.

The Nexus Prime is primed to be the next "pure Google experience" smartphone from Samsung and more powerful than the first Samsung Galaxy S II. Verizon reportedly will have the exclusive Droid Prime ready for prime time by the holidays with an October release date.New reports suggest that the reason that Verizon Wireless passed on the Samsung Galaxy S II was that it would not compete with the iPhone 5 when it comes out. For a smartphone to beat out the iPhone 5 it would have to have 4G LTE access, which has not been confirmed. The Samsung

At the very least, you’ll want a phone capable of taking photos that are decent enough to share, whether it’s with your Facebook friends or via email to your relatives.

So this version of the smartphone was pegged as coming soon, and while we still can’t tell you exactly when you’ll be able to pick one up, we can at least let you know where from.

We can’t say we haven’t seen Verizon’s redesigned Motorola Droid Bionic until now. The handset has appeared in photos and renders a few times, but it’s always good to see more of it. Three fresh images have been spotted over at Droid-life, showing the Bionic next to the Samsung Droid Charge (which is already available at Verizon).
The Droid Bionic seems to be a bit bigger than Samsung’s device. This may mean it has a 4.5 inch screen, not a 4.3 inch one (but we can’t be sure about that until Motorola says so). All will be clear in

Replacing a cracked LCD on your smartphone? Yes, you CAN do it yourself
It's the sight no one wants to see: a spider web of cracks all over your smartphone's LCD screen. I was very happy with my nice little HTC Droid Incredible until I dropped it from the top of Coney Island's Cyclone roller coaster. I didn't buy insurance for it (such extended warranties are a bad deal for most people) and I wasn't anywhere near the end of my new-in-two Verizon contract (which would have let me buy a heavily discounted new phone). So faced with buying a full-price new smartphone (the Droid Incredible 2 retails for $500), I decided to explore the DIY route.Diagnosing the

Verizon Samsung Droid Charge and LG Revolution now also $0.01 at Amazon

Yesterday we let you know that Amazon has a great deal going for the HTC ThunderBolt for Verizon, selling it for just one cent with a two-year new contract.
But it looks like that wasn’t enough for the well-known retailer, since it’s decided to push the envelope a bit and create a full-on sale of Verizon 4G LTE smartphones.
Therefore, the Samsung Droid Charge and LG Revolution can now also be purchased from Amazon for $0.01, with a new two-year contract of course. It’s unclear how long this offer will last, so if you want to

In Shunning Galaxy S II, Verizon May Be Wary of Sequels
Verizon Wireless may be dealing with the same issue that plagues movie audiences: Too many sequels.
With an extensive array of updated Android-based smartphones crowding its shelves, as well as a new iPhone on the way, Verizon may be worried about confusing customers with too many choices.
That's one explanation for why the nation's biggest carrier will be the only one of the top four not to carry Samsung's latest edition of its successful Galaxy series of phones.

No Samsung Galaxy S II for Verizon after all
We have an extensive portfolio that offers customers a great variety of devices, including the Samsung Droid Charge.
Verizon spokesperson, Brenda Raney, confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that Verizon won’t be carrying the Samsung Galaxy S II handset, suggesting that the carrier’s handset lineup is already strong enough. Given that the SGS2 is the fastest selling handset in Samsung’s stable of smartphones, selling 5 million units in the first 85 days of availability, I beg to differ with Raney.
More likely, at least from where I stand, is the fact that the SGS2 doesn’t support

In less lovey-dovey Apple news, its legal battle with Samsung in the European Union continues on like any other day.
Just on schedule, a German court met again to debate whether or not to enforce a ban against the promotion and sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 throughout Europe due to Apple’s patent infringement claims.
Judge Johanna Brueckner-Hofmann found that Apple’s intellectual property rights are probably strong enough to ban sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany. The catch is that this ban is now unlikely to extend to the rest of the E.U. as Apple

That phone sports a 1 gigahertz processor (surprisingly, not dual core), 8 megapixel rear camera, 1.3 megapixel front camera and a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus

But two other recently released tablets, the HTC Evo View 4G and HP TouchPad, don't quite measure up to Apple's top-selling device.
At 1.2 pounds and 0.34-inch thick, the Galaxy is slightly lighter than and just as sleek as the iPad 2. Applications load fast and run smooth on the Galaxy, equipped with a dual-core 1 GHz processor. The device supports Flash video playback, an advantage over the iPad.

Alright, so we have just learned that the Motorola Xoom will likely be getting its 4G LTE upgrade in September. That’s great. However, you may recall that Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha stated back in April that the Motorola Droid Bionic would be launching alongside the upgrade. So, unless plans have changed it appears that the Motorola Droid Bionic may not be launching until sometime in September. Now, I realize that plans can change. It’s possible that Motorola finished the Droid Bionic before it could get the 4G LTE upgrade finished, after

Is The Droid Bionic Too Late to Be This Expensive?

So you may have heard the good/bad news. The Motorola Droid Bionic is likely going to be launching on September 8th and when it does, it’s probably going to have an off-contract price of $590 and an on-contract price of $299. At least through Verizon. Retailers are probably going to have some better offers but we can’t be too sure about that.
This means that Motorola and Verizon obviously didn’t pay any attention to the five things I thought the Droid Bionic would need to survive a launch in September. The very first point I had on

Is Apple faking evidence to crush the competition? Not likely
Following allegations that Apple may have purposely doctored a photo of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to elicit an injunction from a German court, there are now new allegations that Apple is up to the same photo-resizing tricks in The Netherlands. According to Webwereld, which originally noted the photo irregularities in Apple's German court filings, Apple has now submitted a flawed comparison of the iPhone 3G and Galaxy S smartphones in its Dutch court filings.

Verizon Retiring Samsung Fascinate: What Will Replace It?
TweetShareEmail
The original Samsung Galaxy S model for Verizon Wireless, known as the Fascinate, is getting retired by the carrier nearly a year after the device launched. The retired status of the phone means that it will probably be hard to find the phone in the future as Verizon will probably just sell out current inventory of the device rather than continue to order new shipments. The cycle seems natural as the carrier is about to launch a number of new devices on its network.
For those interested and keeping an eye on the Samsung Fascinate, there

Motorola Droid Bionic to cost $587 off contract, Verizon may launch it next week
By Florin on 18 Aug 11
Although we know pretty much anything there is to know about Motorola Droid Bionic‘s features, we’ve yet to hear an official confirmation regarding its price.
However, if this leaked screenshot (see below) is accurate, the new Droid will cost $587 off-contract. That’s on par with the prices of Verizon’s other three 4G smartphones: HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Droid Charge, and LG Revolution.

Samsung Ought to Be Embarrassed and Ashamed
Samsung used to be a consumer electronics brand that I appreciated and admired. I've owned several Samsung products over the years; in fact, I use one every day. I have a Samsung SyncMaster T240HD 24-inch monitor. It's a thing of beauty, actually, with a pleasing clear polycarbonate sort of frame with a touch of deep red layered beneath the clear plastic-like housing. I love it. The display is plenty sharp for me, quite adjustable, and best yet, this unit is also an HDTV and accepts all sorts of video input cables. When I bought it a couple of years ago, I found its overall feature set -- and
