You may find yourself holding onto an iPad 3G . You may find yourself not able to stream ABC player . You may tell yourself, I think I need to break some rules.

Official Twitter for Android app goes live, will go open source

Last Updated on Friday, 30 April 2010 04:17 Written by Chris Ziegler Friday, 30 April 2010 04:17

Twitter had committed to rolling its own client for Android not long ago — and like clockwork, here it is. Looks like the OS integration goes pretty deep, too, with support for Éclair’s Quick Contact bar and tweeting straight from the Gallery app; you’ve also got a timeline widget for your home screen, and you can even see your friends’ latest tweets from your contact list and the Google Talk app. It sounds like Twitter worked pretty closely with Google to make this happen, contributing the code to Android’s trunk for open sourcing in the near future — and developers will even have access to a set of standard Twitter APIs for their own applications. The only downside appears to be that you need Android 2.1 to use it, but that’s just an excuse to run out and upgrade to a sweet new phone, right?

LG Ally to say ‘aloha’ to Verizon in mid-May?

Last Updated on Friday, 30 April 2010 04:10 Written by Donald Melanson Friday, 30 April 2010 04:10

Well, LG’s Moorestown-based, Moblin-running GW990 may sadly be no more , but it looks like the company will be bringing another fairly impressive-looking handset to US shores: the Android-based LG Ally. According to Android Central , it will be landing on Verizon around the middle of May and, if it looks a tad familiar, it’s because it’s apparently simply a US version of the phone we’ve known alternately as the LU2300 or Aloha (though it does seem to have undergone a few design tweaks). Details are otherwise light, but it’ll presumably pack the same 1GHz Snapdragon processor as the LU2300, along with a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a sliding QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera, and Android 2.1. [Thanks, Erik] Update: Android Central has tracked down an Iron Man 2-themed commercial on YouTube clearly suggesting the Ally is coming soon (if you recall, LG had a big tie-in with the original Iron Man, too). Viewers are encouraged to head over to lg.com/ally to check it out, but there’s nothing useful there — yet. Follow the break for the full commercial.

Eye-Fi Pro X2 review

Last Updated on Friday, 30 April 2010 03:35 Written by Chris Ziegler Friday, 30 April 2010 03:35

Five years ago, stuffing a fully-functional WiFi radio into the size of a standard SD card would’ve seemed like science fiction — and actually, it kind of still does. Be that as it may, Eye-Fi is now well into its third generation of products, amazingly, and we’ve gotten a chance to check out the company’s newest top-of-the-line model that just recently started shipping , the Pro X2. Like the original Pro model before it, the Pro X2 is differentiated from its less pricey stablemates in two major ways: one, its support for RAW uploads, and two, its ability to connect to ad-hoc networks — in other words, you can wirelessly tether the card straight to your laptop rather than going through an access point. Where the Pro X2 gets the nod, though, is in what Eye-Fi calls the “X2 Engine,” a three-pack of features that includes 802.11n support, Class 6 SD performance, and a nifty feature coined Endless Memory. Let’s have a closer look at what’s changed — and for current Pro owners, whether the X2 warrants an upgrade.

Motorola RAZR3 comes back from the dead for a very special hands-on video

Last Updated on Friday, 30 April 2010 02:41 Written by Joseph L. Flatley Friday, 30 April 2010 02:41

While you’re still trying to decide whether or not we’ve entered the post-Moto era, or if recent sales numbers are but a mere hiccup, might we introduce you in a hands-on of Motorola’s doomed RAZR3 (aka Ruby)? Featuring an improved interface, GPS, FM radio, and a touchscreen, this would have been the phone to beat — in 2006. For a closer look at the dumphone that almost was, check out the video after the break.
