The brilliant folks of the XDA Developer community have messed with the code of a new device once again and this time it’s the Motorola Droid we’re talking about. They managed to port Google’s new turn by turn Navigation, that was exclusively available on Droid and now it has hit HTC Dream/T-Mobile G1 thanks to a hack. We’ve...
Just two days after being released, Android 2.0 SDK has already been ripped and ported to the good old T-Mobile G1 aka HTC Dream. The fresh software platform was messed with by the brilliant folks of XDA Developers and thanks to them you can get a taste of the fresh OS right now, not later. This cooked ROM has its issues, since it’s a very crude...
MOTOBLUR is only a testimony to the current trend of creating an interface that messes with social networking features and brings up all the contacts and services to the Home screen. Motorola’s technology is also similar to the one used on webOS and uses Android’s features to the max, so porting it to other Android devices shouldn’t...
Now that the iPhone 3GS was announced and the Palm Pre is available on the market, it’s time for a comparison of the two devices plus the T-Mobile G1, done by the folks of Billshrink.

Although Apple didn’t sell as many iPods or Macs as they would have expected during the holiday season, the iPhone performed quite neatly, greatly surpassing rivals like the T-Mobile G1. In fact, the iPhone sold six times better than the G1, at least on the US market. According to Morgan Stanley’s latest study, T-Mobile USA sold about 300.00...
Although T-Mobile wanted to release a system software update till January 15th, an insider claims that it’ll reach the G1 units at the end of the month. Known as RC31 and codenamed “cupcake”, the update will bring an on-screen keyboard to the T-Mobile G1, in order to complement the physical one. The hardware keyboard works only in...
All that’s missing from this mega rivalry is Mickey Rourke and his “Wrestler” act to destroy all of the above mentioned contestants. Joke aside, this comparison was published a couple of days ago by Gizmodo, using Palm’s freshly launched Pre as an excuse to recap what we like and dislike about today’s hottest smartphones. However,...
Everyone was disappointed when the G1 was launched and it seemed to lack multi-touch support, making it somewhat inferior to the iPhone. The handset’s screen is multi-touch capable, but this feature was disabled, for some reason, by Google or HTC. Here’s a hack that allows the device’s display to track the user’s fingers: This...
