Moto Backflip users have been stuck at Android 1.5 (Cupcake) since the device’s release. Blame Motorola’s custom skin and focus on higher-end devices. But alas, today is your day to shine. The Android 2.1 (Eclair) update is finally coming — November 9th. With it, users can expect such things as greater integration with Google services, new widgets, a total of 7 homescreens, a tweaked media gallery, and access to countless new apps that are only...

Leave it to AT&T to take a decent to awesome device on paper and completely gut the thing, rendering it useless and a piece of garbage. Yes, I’m ranting about the Motorola Backflip once again.

AT&T has caught a case of iPhone-itis and simultaneously...

Google just so happens to be one of the biggest OHA members who puts the bulk of marketing dollars behind the mobile OS. With that said however, so far Google has been Android. Any Android device you pick up that’s been labeled a “Google Experience” device as been stuffed full of Gmail, Google Maps, Googlve Voice, etc. A...
