You read that right, folks. It seems as if every old schooler’s dream has come true. Doom has been brought over to the G1/Android OS. I don’t believe I have read an “Application Request” thread yet on any Android forum that hasn’t had at least one mention of bringing Doom over to [...]

Android Phones dominate news and talk about Google’s Android Mobile OS but we’ve seen the prospect of an Android Netbook gaining particular interest. That interest could stand to skyrocket – the Wall Street Journal is reporting that HP is testing Android Netbooks and is considering replacing Microsoft Windows with Android for at least a portion [...]

When Skype Lite launched on the Android Market back in January, it came as a mixed blessing.

Sprinkle some salt on your frikadeller, because this is nothing more than a rumor at the moment. Although citizens of Denmark cannot yet enjoy all that is Android, that will change in a little more than a month if the claims of Mobile.nu (translation) prove true. They have a “reliable source” who says the HTC [...]

Before the first Android Phone was released, the Android Developer Challenge gave us a great look at the types of concepts and ideas that Android would make possible.
