AndroidAuthority.com is for sale.
by Michael Oryl on Dec 08, 20100 Comments">0
Yes, that’s right. I’m selling the site so that I can focus all of our attention on MobileBurn.com, which has been our real business for 10 years. AndroidAuthority.com has been fun, but we can’t do it justice any longer – it needs new management, or it will simply be shut down. I’m selling it with all the existing text and image content. Basically you can move the WordPress install in its entirety anywhere you like for hosting. I can help with that, even, or temporarily allow you to run it on our servers. If you are interested in it, please …

by Michael Oryl on Sep 07, 20100 Comments">0
Here are the two videos I shot of the Samsung Fascinate for Verizon Wireless that I’ve had for the past few days. It is my favorite of the Galaxy S smartphones released in the U.S. so far, thanks to its simple hardware design, UI tweaks like a task manager, and the addition of a flash on the 5megapixel camera. Part 2 is after the jump.

Motorola Droid FRG22D firmware with Flash 10.1 support rolling out now
by Michael Oryl on Sep 02, 20102 Comments">2
My Motorola DROID received a second Froyo update yesterday, this one being the FRG22D update that adds the ability to download the Adobe Flash 10.1 browser plug-in from the Android Market. So if I got it, you guys should all get it pretty soon, too. I installed Adobe Flash 10.1 and it seems to work decently, so far. I will have to play around with it more to see how it compares with the built-in one on the DROID 2.

In slightly better firmware update news from Motorola than what we’ve been getting, the company has stated on its Support Forums that the European version of the Motorola Milestone (the DROID in the U.S.) will get an Android 2.2 Froyo update sometime in Q4 of 2010. [via Arne Hess]
Motorola CLIQ, CLIQ XT, BackFlip Android 2.1 updates pushed back to late Q3, early Q4
by Michael Oryl on Aug 22, 20102 Comments">2
According to a recent post by a Motorola employee on the Motorola Support Forums, Moto has been having a bit more trouble getting OpenGL working on the CLIQ, CLIQ XT, and BackFlip than expected, which is delaying the already long delayed update to Android 2.1 for these devices, which was originally promised for Q2 of 2010. The statement reads as follows: The quality of experience for consumers is a top priority in providing upgrades to our current product portfolio. In working through Android 2.1 upgrades for CLIQ, CLIQ XT, and Backflip, certain hardware configurations have been limiting upgrade capabilities. We …
Our Motorola DROID 2 for Verizon review
by Michael Oryl on Aug 20, 20100 Comments">0
I posted my review of the Motorola DROID 2 for Verizon Wireless on MobileBurn yesterday afternoon. Here’s the intro from the full Motorola DROID 2 review: When Verizon first launched the original DROID by Motorola, it marked the carrier’s first step into the world of Android smartphones – and it was a good one. The DROID, like the DROID 2 we review today, features a large 3.7-inch WVGA resolution touchscreen display and a slide-out 4-row QWERTY keyboard in a design with subdued styling. Just as the original DROID was a good device, so is the new DROID 2. It still …
