Get FroYo On Your Motorola DROID. And That’s An Order.

  • June 5, 2010

According to a colleague of mine, AKA Sir Bettiol of BGR and England, MyDroidWorld has an official Android 2.2 ROM for the Motorola DROID. All you have to do is follow the step-by-step instructions to get started, and you’ll be up to your head in frozen yogurt in no time. One thing to point out for you guys is that the ROM is completely “perfect”, except it doesn’t include Wi-Fi (read: suck), but that should be panned out before the official Moto Android 2.2 OTA comes out, right? In the meantime, hit up the source link. Another note: it’s completely your fault if it “screws up”, as the developers say.

In our first leaked shot of the Droid Extreme, we published the details of an 8 megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording. Surprise, surprise! DroidLife has another round of good leaks again and has a backside shot of the Xtreme, and a closer look at the new MOTOBLUR UI on top of Android 2.2.

HP’s Mark: OK OK, We’ll Make webOS Smartphones

  • June 4, 2010

Originally, HP CEO Mark Hurd said that HP didn’t buy Palm to be in the smartphone business. Use time travel and set your machine to 24 hours later, and you’ll find his new statement, clearly spelling out that HP will use webOS in tons of web-connected gadgets, including smartphones and printers:

When we look at the market, we see an array of interconnected devices, including tablets, printers, and of course, smartphones. We believe webOS can become the backbone for many of HP’s small form factor devices, and we expect to expand webOS’s footprint beyond just the smartphone market, all while leveraging our financial strength, scale, and global reach to grow in smartphones.

Alienware M11x Review: The Light Powerhouse War Begins

  • June 4, 2010

The Alienware M11x is one heck of a beast. It grunts, runs, and speaks Alien(ware). After getting it from our local friendly FedexMan a day before my trip to New York for pre-SSAT math preparation with Dad, and some sightseeing, I was able to pull off as many tests needed to say one thing: it’s awesome. But what makes the M11x awesome? Read on after the jump!

HTC EVO 4G: America’s First 4G Phone Launches

  • June 4, 2010

The big word on the block for months now has been WiMAX (aka 4G), and the HTC EVO 4G. Both are one, and one is both. The EVO 4G, a 1Ghz Snapdragon-running, 8 megapixel 720p HD shooting, and with 4.3-inch WVGA multitouch LCD is the pinnacle of smartphones (at the moment). With a price of $199, and the ability to use both 3G and 4G bands, 2 way video calling, and personal Wi-Fi hotspot features up to 8 users, the EVO 4G is crazy. As is its plan pricing (read: not by much, for all the features you get). Also, sales are limited of 5 per customer, so get out of this article quick, and hit the “source” link, which is a glimpse into the future of phones.

EVO 4G root released into the wild

  • June 3, 2010

Is that it? Yeah, that is it! The EVO 4G, the best spec’d phone on planet Earth, has gotten its rooting together and moving. Clicking on the source link will give you all the files, instructions, and chatty talk from the super smart modders at xda-developers.

And for those of you who don’t know what a “root” is, it’s getting fully unrestricted, un-tampered with, full control of your handset. And that means every bit of it. Technically, it’s like jailbreaking your iPad, only cooler. I think.
