Google Is Preparing a Flipboard Competitor for Android

by Lucian Armasu on Sep 19, 2011 2 Comments">2

Flipboard has long been considered the best social and news reader app on the iPad, and they haven’t announced any plans to come to Android, or at least not any time soon. So Google decided to buy them last year. But they rejected Google’s offer, so obviously Google decided to build their own app instead for Android tablets and smartphones (and probably for iOS later, too). Robert Scoble posted this on Google+ earlier: “I heard from someone working with Google that Google is working on a Flipboard competitor for both Android and iPad,” posted Scoble. “My source says that the …

Android 2.2 is hot news right now, and it is quite possibly the first version of Android which really hits the spot for all the different types of people out there that demand slightly different things from their smartphone. Nonetheless, plenty of Android phones are still running much older iterations of the little green robot. Indeed, Android fragmentation has been a hot topic for a while now. A number of entry level devices are still running on Android 1.6 so it is great news when we hear of one upgrading. The Huawei Pulse is alleged to receive an upgrade to …

by James Tromans on Sep 03, 2009 3 Comments">3

The Pulse, offered by T-Mobile, has just been officially ousted as the company’s third Android offering. As mentioned before, the device is produced by Huawei and offers a sleek and smooth chrome shell along with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen, and a 3.2 megapixel camera.

Huawei 8220 Pulse approved by FCC – but is it headed to the USA?

AndroidGuys.com has posted a link to some FCC documents for the Huawei 8220, the Pulse. My first thought was “great!”, but then I started looking at the actual documents. First up, a search on the FCC ID listed in the docs (QISU8220) turns up nothing. I’m not sure, but I figure that’s maybe because it’s an application, and that no approval has been given yet. I don’t know. The next thing bothers me, though. There is no mention anywhere of T-Mobile USA’s 850MHz support, or its 1700/2100MHz 3G network support. Only the 1900MHz (PCS) band is tested. That, to me, …
