The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona just closed it’s doors, and while there weren’t any big surprises, we got to see quite a large number of new Android devices. Looking into the technical specs of those phones makes one of the biggest problems Android currently faces obvious: fragmentation. A variety of devices sporting Android 2.2 to 3.0 has been presented. Android 3.0 is the first... 

AMOLED screens are all the rage nowadays, as it seems like every smartphone manufacturer is eager to use an AMOLED screen on their flagship device. The main display provider for the market is currently Samsung. So everbody depends on their production. Since Samsung introduced a lot of own smartphones with AMOLED and Super AMOLED screens, they weren’t capable to fullfill the demand of all display... 

Not much time ago i bought an HTC Desire and I was very happy with it, except for the AMOLED display which i don’t really like. But despite the great overall experience with the HTC Desire, i couldn’t shake off the bad feeling that i will see many delays again when a new Android version is being ported to the HTC Desire. We witnessed this issue on the HTC Hero Android 2.1 release, as HTC...

Shortly after Google presented the Nexus One (manufactured by HTC), the HTC Desire was also officially announced as another Android flagship device. Both smartphones might have very similar hardware specs, but looking at the software side it’s clear that we are talking about two different approaches. On the HTC Desire you’ll get HTC Sense, which builds on the regular Android 2.1 version,... 

There are a selected few Android apps which i really use on a daily basis. I’m planning to write reviews about those essential Android apps on a regular basis, and the first one i would like to present is called NewsRob. NewsRob is basically an RSS reader which will sync to all the RSS feeds you have added to your Google Reader account. This means that having a google account is mandatory, since... 

There are many Twitter clients to be found on the Android marketplace. One of my favourite one is called Swift. Some Twitter apps out there may have a better looking UI, but none of them is as fast as Swift. Let’s take a quick look at the Swift UI, starting with the timeline view. This is the view you’ll see after you have set up the Twitter account. On the top you have your own profile... 

It has been more than six months now since i made the decision that it’s time to get an Android device, and switched from my last Windows Mobile device (XDA Orbit II) to the HTC Hero. Up to now my review series was primarily about the HTC Hero and the features Android as well as HTC Sense provides. After getting to know the Android platform much better during the last months, it’s time... 

Many Android smartphone owners are still eagerly awaiting their Android 2.0 updates, and for some carriers it’s uncertain if there will be ever any Android 2.0 update at all.
