More details of the Sony Ericsson X12 Anzu have been revealed. The new device is expected to launch early next year installed with the Android 2.2 operating system. The Android 2.2 install will then be followed with Android 2.3 after launch (update rumoured for Summer 2011).
When Sony Ericsson launched the X10, it came with a very old version of Android and took a long time to be updated. It isn’t clear if this impacted sales at all or not, but it still left a few people frustrated and wanting the latest version of Android. Lets hope this new version will soon be updated to 2.3 rather than waiting as long as X10 owners did for 2.1. [Read more…]

RedmondPie has created a step by step “how to” guide on installing Android 2.2.1 on to the iPhone 3G and 2G. The guide allows for both iOS and Android 2.2.1 to run side by side on the device allowing you to easily swap and change between either OS when needed.
To make this happen you’ll need a jailbroken iPhone 3G or 2G and will then need to download Bootlace found in Cydia. Once done, the steps can be found in the video embedded on RedmondPie found here. [Read more…]

The HP Slate was first announced at CES right at the beginning of this year. Since then its been canceled, changed to webOS, Android and back to Windows. Now that it has finally launched (in Windows form), we now hear that extraordinary demand has put a six week waiting delay for those who order it today.
Although it takes six weeks to get to you and HP has described it has being in extraordinary demand, its difficult at this time to know exactly what that means in terms of sales. Apple [AAPL] announced along the way how many iPads had sold with that tablet device quickly reaching 1 million. However, HP could have made far less units and had problems for a real lack of units to sell. [Read more…]
Pigs have taken your eggs. What better way of getting back at them by firing ‘angry’ birds from a massive slingshot directed straight at them. That’s pretty much it as far as the premise goes and that’s really all you need to know.
Since it’s launch on the iPhone back in December last year, Angry Birds has gone from strength to strength. With downloads literally in the millions, the fowl-flinger has seen huge success amongst it’s rivals and since then has more recently arrived on smartphones running Google’s Android operating system and is currently still doing rather well indeed.
