T-Mobile UK to Carry the LG Optimus Black Starting in March

8:17 PM Simranpal SIngh No comments

The LG Optimus Black has landed its first UK carrier as T-Mobile UK has published a “coming soon” landing page for the device. The phone – most famous for its 4-inch super bright NOVA display – was revealed earlier last month.  Android 2.2 is a go, and LG says it will be upgradeable to Android 2.3, but no other specs have been thrown our way. Still, that NOVA display is enough to grab our attention. Sign up to be notified if you want.

Meet the DeadZebra Series 2 Android Figurines

4:42 PM Simranpal SIngh No comments

We love them. Google loves them. We buy them by the box, Google buys them by the pallet. We love their limited edition releases for holidays, and do everything we can to collect all of these little guys. What am I talking about? I'm talking about the DyzPlastic Android Figurines from DeadZebra! Those boxes of 16 have been around for a little while now, and while the limited edition models are nice additions to my collection it's time for a refresh. It's time for Series 2.

The End Of The Road For Google Buzz?

4:38 PM Simranpal SIngh No comments


Since its highly controversial release back in February of 2010, Google Buzz has failed to attract a fair share of positive spotlight. In fact, besides Buzz's deep Gmail and Maps integration, the service doesn't really bring anything truly unique to the table. For the social service to really gain traction, it would need to bring users something that they just "had to have." The sad fact is, Buzz didn't.

Privacy concerns weren't the only issue. Buzz, according to some, was doomed to fail from the start. Twitter had become too large a force to be reckoned with, and perhaps Google bit off more than it could chew.

Infrared (IR) Camera For Your Android?

4:32 PM Simranpal SIngh No comments


Our friends at DARPA recently sent out a solicitation for the development of “wafer-sized thermal imagery sensors and optics” small enough to fit in your android handset. It seems their goal is to put an IR enabled mobile device in the hands of every soldier in the field, allowing them to not only spot people at night, but to also determine whether that person is a threat.
DARPA seems to think an IR sensor with this capability is something you’d want on your handset (or tablet). We’d like to hear from you. Do you want an IR sensor on your android? How would you use it?
Infrared (IR) Camera For Your Android? originally appeared on AndroidGuys.

AT&T Details Mobile Hotspot Pricing

4:20 PM Simranpal SIngh No comments

Earlier this week AT&T announced that their Inspire 4G would be arriving on February 13th with a $99 price tag.  Not only would this handset usher in AT&T's 4G smart phone era, but it would also see the introduction of their Mobile Hotspot application.  Unfortunately, AT&T remained tight-lipped about the pricing and allowed data when making their phone announcement.  Today sees us learning how they plan to offer up the service.
The feature, which will run $45/month, will allow up to 4GB of data as part of a bundle with the Data Pro data plan. In other words, it comes out to $25/month for Data Pro (2GB) and another $20/month for the Mobile Hotspot app and an additional 2GB of data. Should a user go over the allotted 4GBs, it will run $10/GB on all connected devices.
Any takers?

T-Mobile Dell Streak 7 Released

3:18 PM Simranpal SIngh No comments

For those of you who have been patiently awaiting the arrival of the new Android 2.2 Froyo 4G enabled tablet from Dell, namely the Dell Streak 7, your wait has now come to an end, as the Dell Streak 7 is now available.
According to an article over on Tmonews, the T-Mobile guys have released the Dell Streak 7 for purchase from T-Mobile.com and can be gained for handing over a reasonably low $199.99 based on a new two-year agreement of course and after a mail in rebate.
What can you expect from the Dell Streak 7 tablet? Well specs are a 7 inch multi-touch display, 1.33 megapixel front facing camera, Android 2.2 Froyo operating system which is upgradeable, so presumably will pack Android 3.0 Honeycomb eventually, Flash 10.1, WiFi, Bluetooth and 16GB of internal storage.
However if you can’t afford that $199.99 you could always opt for T-Mobile’s Equipment Instalment Plan, which will spread the cost of the device over 4 months and cost you $62.50 per month.
We have a Dell Streak 7 hands-on tour video below for your viewing pleasure courtesy of Jon4lakers that lasts almost five minutes…enjoy.
