Newly added to the Android market are: Application screenshots Promotional icons Improved application descriptions Also added according to my bud at HTCSource are … [read full article]
Sascha Segan over at PC Mag (via Gearlog) has posted up an interesting theory on why he feels the Motorola event will be a T-mobile based launch. Through the simple process of elimination, Sascha explains one of the standout reasons. One of the keynote speakers is our dear overlord, T-mobile CTO Cole Brodman.

As the extending dessert list led us to believe, Google and Android has dished out Donut (well technically, they dropped new code for Android Donut). Some people over at XDA Developers are reporting that Donut will be stuffed with system-wide multitouch, universal search, text to speech, automated backups, a new camera app, and somehow (supposedly) better performance (sounds yummy).

T-mobile is still allowing for early June for all G1 users to receive their upgrade so if … [read full article]
Thanks to our friends at Phonedog, we are getting a look at what is purported to be an HTC skinning of the Android interface complete with widgets, gadgets, lion, tigers and bears.
