Introducing: The Android Police Week In Review - The Biggest Android Stories Of The Week, All In One Place

Posted by David Ruddock in Features, News, Week In Review

We know you don't always have time to read up on the latest Android stories every day - we can barely keep up ourselves at times. So, deep in the bowels of the Android Police test labs, we came up with a solution: bringing you all of the last week's important news in one convenient location. We call it the Android Police Week In Review - and you can also catch most of the news contained here in our weekly podcast (check it out, here).

You'll notice that this week's "week" in review stretches back a bit further than a week, and that's basically because it's our first one.

[The Android Police Podcast] Episode 5: A Frisky Partner's Midnight Moves

Posted by David Ruddock in Podcast

It's podcast time - this week Matt, Bob, Cameron, Artem, myself, and our newest presenter Liam Spradlin all talk about things that have at least some tangential relation to Android. In this week's episode, we talk Nook GlowTouch, EVO 4G LTE, and upgrade fees. Check out the covered content in the outline below, and scroll to the bottom of the page for Soundcloud and RSS subscription info to listen.

Carrier 411

AT&T is bringing LTE to more markets... eee. Just read this post (and this one, too).
Verizon has instituted a $30 handset upgrade fee, and this has made a lot of people with keyboards and internet access very upset.

[Update] Exclusive: First Images And Details Of The Verizon HTC Incredible 4G Surface

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Exclusives, Incredible 4G, Leaks, News

Last Updated: June 5th, 2012

Up to this point, the only thing we've know about the HTC Incredible 4G is... well, not much. There have been rumors here and there, but nothing all that concrete about the device (aside from a potential launch date). Thanks to a trusted source, however, we now not only have more information about the device, but some images to go along with it.

^{Smile for the blurrycam!}

Specs:

4-Inch display [unconfirmed - the tipster couldn't reliably measure the device, so this is an estimate]
qHD resolution
1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor (we suspect it's an S4, but haven't confirmed at this time)
1GB RAM
8GB built-in storage, microSD card slot
8MP rear shooter with zero shutter lag, VGA front camera
NFC
MHL
Beats support (no headphones included)
LTE
Android 4.0 with Sense 4

Update: Looks like a leaked press shot hit the web this morning, as well.

The Slingshot Is A Mobile Phone Stabilizer, Tripod, And Universal Camera Mount, Made Of Pure Engineering Magic

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in News

Ever since we started calling camera phones "phones," we've been trying as hard as we can to replace as much of our prohibitively expensive camera equipment as we can. Our phones' sensors have been beefed up to "actually pretty good" quality, we've seen several different attachable lenses. Now, thanks to Kickstarter, we've also found the last camera mounting accessory we'll ever need: the Slingshot, which functions as handheld stabilizer, mini tripod, and professional tripod mount.

As with all Kickstarter products, this little device isn't for sale yet, but if anything deserves a shot at being a proper product, it's this little guy.

Motorola Announces RAZR MAXX Hitting Europe And Middle East In May

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Motorola, News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX

By most accounts, the Motorola DROID RAZR is an excellent phone, though battery life is questionable. Which is exactly what makes the RAZR MAXX such a great phone: at 9mm, it's still thin, but packs a battery with 85% more capacity (1780 vs 3300mAh). At the moment, the RAZR MAXX isn't sold in Europe and Middle East, but the company has just announced that will change sometime in May.

A quick refresher of the specs:

Android 2.3.6 (Android 4.0 update reportedly coming tomorrow)
1.2GHz dual-core TI OMAP4430 CPU
1GB RAM
16GB built-in storage, 16GB microSD card in the box (32GB of storage total)
4.3" Super AMOLED qHD display
8MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front
8.99mm thin, 4.5oz

No word on what specific day it will go on sale, but we're sure the company will release some details closer to then.

HTC Goes Even More Officially Official With ICS Update List On Their Blog, Reminds Us Which 16 Devices Will Get It

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in HTC, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, News

At this point, the list of HTC devices that will receive ICS isn't new - they initially announced most of them via Facebook on February 9, and expanded the list a little (again via Facebook) just over a week later. Now, the company has posted the list on the HTC Blog. While there are no surprises to be found, at least they're going super official with the announcement - and putting things in nice list form:

Here’s the scoop. The following HTC devices are confirmed to get a tasty treat of Ice Cream Sandwich:

DROID Incredible 2 by HTC

HTC Amaze 4G

HTC Desire S

HTC Desire HD

HTC EVO 3D

HTC EVO Design 4G

HTC Incredible S

HTC Sensation

HTC Sensation XL

HTC Sensation 4G

HTC Sensation XE

HTC Raider

HTC Rezound

HTC Rhyme

HTC Thunderbolt

HTC Vivid

The company provides no real guide for timing aside from the Sensation devices, whose update will be rolling out over to carriers over the next few weeks.

Verizon Wireless has just made public an official list of handsets on the network poised to receive Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OTA updates, most being devices for which such updates were a given at this point:

HTC:

HTC ThunderBolt™

DROID Incredible 2 by HTC

HTC Rhyme™

HTC Rezound™

Motorola:

Motorola XOOM

DROID BIONIC™

DROID RAZR™

No timeframe was provided, but this is probably the most authoritative ICS update list you'll see out there, if for only one reason: in the end, it's Verizon that decides whether or not a device on its network gets updated.

Verizon's DROID Fighter And LG Cayman Release Dates Leaked

Posted by Liam Spradlin in HTC, Leaks, LG, Motorola, News, Samsung, Verizon Wireless

According to a new document acquired by Droid Life, the DROID Fighter and LG Cayman (which, according to DL, is the LG Lucid 4G) are slated for official releases starting later this month. The LG Cayman is poised to debut March 29th, while the DROID Fighter will be appearing April 12th. Interestingly, the release dates shown match exactly with the workshop dates we reported a couple of weeks ago.

In addition to the LG Cayman and DROID Fighter, the document lists a couple of new devices – the HTC Fireball (which Droid Life's sources are calling the Incredible 4G), and the Samsung Plato, which Droid Life last saw way back in August, listed for a January release.
