HTC Thunderbolt gets working Ice Cream Sandwich data!
Ever since I found out that my good friend and developer Liquid had broken the data barrier on the Thunderbolt I’ve been ecstatic. Not to give too much information, but I have been running around like a kid in a candy store! But enough about me, theROM itself is a straight AOSP version of ICS for the HTC Thunderbolt with data/calls and messaging working correctly. Currently data only shows as 1x in the status bar but people have been reporting 3G and 4G speeds. To flash a copy of the... Read The Rest →

Back To Eden: Notion Ink Announces Adam II
Back when I was trying to determine what the purpose would be (find a valid excuse) to spend big bucks on an Android tablet the Notion Ink Adam came along with it’s awesome GUI and suddenly the tablet world had my attention.

The New Year Brings ICS to EVO 3D In A Big Way With 3 AOSP Builds
It seems at times I am the only man in the world who loves both HTC and the Sense UI but alas I will be that guy. The end of 2011 brought some tough choices for me in terms of what to do with my beloved EVO 3D. The choice to go to Verizon instead of Sprint was there but I thought better of that. I’m happy with Sprint’s service in my coverage area and their a bit easier on the wallet. I could also have made the so... Read The Rest →

Google I’m Going To Let You Finish But Is That The Xoom Running ICS? It Is!
Looking at this video this morning it took me a few seconds not to pay attention to the carousel feature Google is attempting to show off here and realize that the device they are showing it off on is the Motorola Xoom. Yes indeed Motorola promised the Xoom would be one of the first of their devices to be rocking Android 4.0 and here it is for you to see. I guess it’s safe to say we will see ICS on the Xoom really really soon. Remember the Xoom... Read The Rest →
