Trillian For Android Sheds Price Tag, But Gains Ads In The Process

Posted by in Applications, News

Cerulean Studios, creator of the popular cross-platform IM client Trillian, recently announced that all versions of the aforementioned product would transition to a free-with-ads model, as opposed to a paid download. Even though this change took place about a week ago, it looks like the Market listing has finally been updated to reflect accordingly.

Users are still able to subscribe to a paid service that is ad-free and adds new features, like the ability to view chat histories online. Users who've paid in the past will have their purchases honored, and will be able to transfer them over to other platforms.

[New Game Review] Battleheart Brings Functional, Frantic Fantasy Combat to Android

Posted by in Game Reviews, Games, Reviews
Last Updated: August 2nd, 2011

 Many games will try to wow users with amazing graphics or realistic art styles, however, this sometimes comes at the expense of a playable game. Battleheart is a new iOS port that manages to get the best of both worlds: a pleasing art style and an awesome control scheme for a premise that could have easily been tainted by complication.

The Game

Battleheart is a sword-and-sorcery RPG where the player is put in control of a four-hero squad that go off to achieve victory, glory and riches. The makeup of the party is completely customizable, courtesy of a tavern in town.

HTC Puccini: A Dual-Core, Honeycomb, 4G LTE AT&T Tablet - Who Names These Things, Anyway?

Posted by in HTC, News

The exciting conclusion of our three-part HTC-leak-o-rama comes in the form of a yet-to-be-announced HTC tablet known as the "Puccini." Sounds like an Italian dish (Note: actually, Puccini was a famous Italian composer, so take what you will from the codename). Anyway, this thing's packing, here's what we know:

  • WXGA display (800x1280) - we're thinking 9-10" on that basis
  • MSM8660 dual-core processor (same chipset we just saw in the leaked HTC Lead)
  • Android Honeycomb 3.0.1
  • AT&T LTE support

As an AT&T customer myself, between the HTC Lead and this guy, I'm pretty juiced. This is the first AT&T LTE device we've heard of so far, and that's kind of exciting in and of itself.

[Updated: Now With Fast Mirror] HTC EVO 3D System Dump Leaked, Get It While It's Hot

Posted by in Development, EVO 3D (Shooter), Gingerbread 2.3, News, Sprint

Update: You can grab the system dump from our mirror here.

In part two of our exciting series of HTC leaks today is the system dump (I'm really trying not to make poop jokes, here) of the HTC EVO 3D, Sprint's upcoming flagship smartphone. Again, the intrepid 911sniper blog has provided the goods. I wonder if these things just fall off the back of trucks. Internet trucks, that is.

The EVO 3D is coming this summer, and we spent a little time with it back at CTIA in March (check out our hands-on here), and were thoroughly impressed. The dual-core status, 3D camera and display, along with Sprint's 4G WiMAX make for a killer combo that's sure to live up to the success of the 3D's forefather, the EVO 4G.

HTC Lead For AT&T System Dump Leaked, Reveals 4.3" Screen, Dual Cores, Gingerbread

Posted by in AT&T, Development, HTC, News

For round one of the HTC device leaks today, we present for your consideration the HTC Lead - a device that will be coming to the AT&T network at some point in the future (...most likely).

The ever-vigilent 911sniper blog "stumbled" upon a system dump for the upcoming phone, and it reveals some interesting tidbits in regard to its specifications:

  • Dual-core MSM8660 1.2GHz processor
  • 4.3" WVGA (800x480) display [not qHD - oddly]
  • 768MB RAM
  • Android 2.3.4
  • 5MP rear camera (no front camera)
  • AT&T support (presumably some kind of 4G - either HSPA+ or LTE)

The WVGA resolution and screen size, along with the amount of RAM, make this sound suspiciously like a beefed-up Desire HD (Inspire 4G).

[Download] [Updated] Working Official Gingerbread ROM For The HTC Thunderbolt

Posted by in Development, Gingerbread 2.3, News, Thunderbolt (Mecha)
Last Updated: May 25th, 2011

UPDATE: The Gingerbread radio is apparently being linked to hard bricks. We have removed the link for the time being, until this issue is resolved, or a new radio version is leaked.

This morning 911Sniper dropped a leaked Gingerbread test build for the HTC Thunderbolt, but there was one issue: it wasn't flashable. Our buddy Justin Case from TeamAndIRC immediately took it to the lab and started dissecting its parts to see what needed to be done. When he returned, blood soaked and sweating, he delivered an amazing thing to us - a working Gingerbread ROM. Flashable, functional, and near-official, we offer this to you as download.

Begun, The Market Wars Have: Plants vs. Zombies Coming Exclusively To Amazon App Store May 30

Posted by in Apps/Games, Games, News

Are you ready for some Plants vs. Zombies? We know you've been waiting for it (I certainly have). Just a little bit longer: Plants vs. Zombies will be available on the Amazon App Store starting late this month (presumably May 30 or 31) for the low, low price of free. The app will be free on its debut-day (May 30), then for 2 weeks will be exclusively available on the Amazon App Store, in a deal similar to that which Rovio had with Amazon upon the release of Angry Birds Rio.

PopCap games, the developer of Plants vs. Zombies, has also revealed that the developer's second most popular title, Chuzzle, will be hitting the Amazon App Store tomorrow.

HTC Holiday ROM Leaks, All But Confirms Some Killer Specs

Posted by in Holiday / Raider, News, Rumors

The HTC Holiday has been somewhat elusive up until now, but 911sniper has gotten ahold of a leaked ROM that, if legit, shows some absolutely beastly specs for this upcoming AT&T monster. Check it out:

spectshot

Here's the simple breakdown:

  • 4.5 Inch qHD 960x540 display
  • 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 8MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera
  • Bluetooth 3.0
  • 802.11 b/g/n WiFi

If the actual device holds true to these specs (and I see no reason why it wouldn't), then this is definitely a piece of hardware to watch for. With specs like that, it's likely to scorch everything on the market.

AT&T Sending Out An OTA Update To Allow Sideloading On Select Devices

Posted by in Aria (Liberty), AT&T, Captivate, Inspire 4G (Ace, Stallion), News

If you happen to own a Samsung Captivate, HTC Aria, or HTC Inspire 4G, then the dream of many, many Android owners on AT&T is about to be yours - the ability to legitimately sideload apps. AT&T lifted its sideloading-barrier on the newly released Samsung Infuse 4G, and naturally, the question arose: What about older Android devices? Now we have our answer.

att-sideloading

This means that you will be able to enjoy the little pleasures that other Android users currently have - like the Amazon Appstore and non-market apps like wireless tether. According to the above document obtained by Android Central, the OTA update should start rolling out today to the aforementioned devices, so make sure to let us know when you get yours.
