HTC cranks out Android handsets like candy corn – and we love that. The only downside to this, however, is that each new leak has us drooling before the last leak even has time to become a real product.
Our salivary glands were just warming up for the HTC Incredible and the HTC Legend, but now we’ve got the HTC Scorpion (possibly codenamed “Olympian”) to dream about. According to the very-latest of leaks, this thing might pack a scorchingly fast 1.5 Ghz processor and the as-of-yet unreleased Android v2.2.
The emphasis in that last sentence, though, should be placed on “might”. We’re by no means 100% convinced this thing exists. Someone hooked the guys over at AndroidSpin up with what is reportedly a build file from this “Scorpion” device. The catch here, is that this leak is purely text – no images, no video, and thus, nothing tough to fake.

Get Android 2.2 Froyo on the iPhone 3G
Yes, you heard right!
Don’t know what to do with your soon to be retired iPhone 3G? Just install Android 2.2 aka Froyo on it. Sure it’s currently totally useless and sluggish (and according to those who tried it; causes the device to run extremely hot after a few minutes, but here are the installation instructions

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/08/14/htc_artemis_details/ ... Not seen any details of this phone on the forums here yet; anybody got any more info, besides the short list of technical specs given on the Reg article? Anybody know when this thing is actually coming to market, or how it'll compare to the other HTC smartphones in terms of the actual user experience? This looks like a VERY tasty little phone, but I wish I knew more about it
That said, I do see in the wiki's 'unofficial' section the 'ARTEMIS', but the Register article spells it Artemis (which is how I'd expect it), linking to a Navigadget article which also spells it Artemis (as opposed to Engadget's 'artimes' spelling)... Which one is correct?
No pretty much what you read in the artcile and the wiki is the extent of the knowledge on this device so far. Its to be released in Q4 2006 so possibly late october.

Sweet looks, but no UMTS and a rather slow processor. Link above casts doubt on Wifi.

I can remember back in the day when I first set my eyes on the UX50. What a beauty I thought and even now, 6 years on, I still look at it and think what if they had continued the line.
I thought the clam-shell design was very functional with its swivel screen and camera. Everything on it just seemed so right. Imagine how one would look now with the technology of this day and age. A big bright OLED screen filling out the front of the device, great graphics, blistering speed with a slim form factor and space for a full sized physical keyboard etc.
I really believe they made a mistake when they announced that they would discontinue the device. If they were to make a new similar device I know for sure that I be one of the first to snap it up.
So what do you guys think of a new PDA/phone coming out with a clam-shell, swivel screen action design?

Does anyone know if Google plans to correct this?

Don't know, but I can confirm that I have experienced this issue...
All Android devices have this problem, the question is whether Google is working.

The GNote is the Android device with worst latency issues in the system itself ive used at release. So to pick the GNote with the firsts builds against the iPhone 4 is one of the few ways to make the iPhone win.
The KAA and KL3 builds dont have this issue (not for me atleast) and are newer builds than what was shipped with the phone at the release.
Done the same thing with my GNote and recorded with the piano app. And i got faster response than the iPhone 4 using the KL3 software on the GNote.
android vs ios on windows mobile forum................ ok.......................
@Alejandrissimo
thank you, I reported the error.
@robertsydbrink
Hello, I do not believe in what you say, the latency problem is inherents in Android. I am also in KKA. How can you defend this? By doing so you encourage the immobility of Google. You can make a video of what you say ?
Go to stores to compare some Android tablets against the iPad 2. The latency is very marked.

The Taiwanese manufacturer today released an official teaser for the device-within-a-device, boasting its display, processor, economical benefits, and impressive battery life.
For those who may have missed the specs sprinkled throughout the promo, here's what we know so far:
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor at 1.5GHz
4.3" Super AMOLED qHD display (the tablet features a 10.1" display, no word on resolution)
8MP rear shooter (featuring a 5-element f/2.2 lens)
Stylus/Headset accessory
Over 14,000mAh battery power between the pad, phone, and dock
Overall, the PadFone is still looking like a pretty intriguing device. Despite the fact that the video seems to have hit a speed-bump in editing (the entire sequence repeats itself sans audio), it still provides viewers with an official piece of media to confirm that the device is still coming. The release of an official promo could also mean that we're due for more information any time now. Source : AndroidPolice
At any rate, it will be interesting to see whether ASUS' unquestionably novel device can pull off the concept of a phone-powered tablet without coming off as merely a gimmick.
I just want to know a price on this. And what service providers the phone part is compatible with.

If you own a Motorola DROID 4 and have been wondering whether or not you would ever see the day when Android 4.0 would grace your device, wonder no more. While, this isn’t quite confirmation of any official OTA, it would appear that an official test build of the MotoBlur-skinned Ice Cream Sandwich update has been spotted over on Droid Forums.
Before you blow a load on yourself, keep in mind that the waters get really murky when dealing with updates of this nature. Past experiences tell us that Moto phones and leaked test builds don’t always play so nicely with one another. In fact, you could possibly find yourself stuck on the new test build, with no surefire way of returning to Gingerbread without turning your D4 into a big, fat brick. Be careful!
If you have the cojones to proceed, you’ll want to head over to the original post, by Hooks405, in the source link below. Make sure to read the instructions carefully before doing anything. We’d hate to see anyone break their phone, but we won’t be held responsible if they do.
Oh, and we’re also hearing that Voodoo RootKeeper isn’t working after the update either. Hopefully, someone will find a workaround for that soon. Source: DroidForums, OMGDroid Via: Droid-Life
