First up — the Samsung YP-MB2. You can’t really tell much by blurry photo above, but if the few rumors that are floating around are to be believed, we’re looking at a Samsung Galaxy S sans phone capabilities. Basically, it’s an Apple-isque iPhone-to-iPod Touch type of deal. The YP-MB2 will feature the same 1GHz Hummingbird processor, Android 2.1, 4″ Super AMOLED display, WiFI, DMB, GPS, 3MP camera, and of course, access to the Android Market...

Can a new Android phone by Samsung really be called “Epic”? The fact that it has 4G is a good start. Kicking the phone to the side to reveal a rather spacious 5-row sliding keyboard doesn’t hurt either. But are those two features alone enough to conquer them all? Depends on what you look for in a phone. Though, the reported 1GHz “Hummingbird” processor, 1GB RAM/512 ROM, 802.11b/g/n w/ wifi hotspot, 5mp camera, and 720p video recording...

Introducing “unrEVOked”, a one-stop-shop for EVO 4G rooting. First, the...

MetroPCS may miss out on…pretty much all the cool stuff (as does any smaller regional carrier), but that doesn’t mean they can’t get in on this Android revolution either. If you haven’t noticed, there’s an Android for everyone these days it seems. So the device in question — the unnamed gadget before your eyes right about. Some basic specs include a 600MHz proc (same as Moto Droid’s) and what appears to be a display in the low...

Scientific number munchers look elsewhere, this is not your Google-sourced, bar chart type of benchmark. It’s nothing more than a dude from Android Police running a benchmark using LinPack. But that benchmark is quite telling. At stock speeds and non-rooted, the Nexus One averages 6-7MFLOPS. Alright, decent showing. But, flash Android 2.2 (Froyo) on that beast and the ‘putin is kicked up several notches to an average of 37MFLOPS! Talk about a speed...
