If you weren't aware, the HTC Velocity 4G from Telstra went on sale today and we're wondering how many of you guys have purchased one already (early adopters!) or are planning to in the future. It's available for $0 on Telstra's $79 Freedom Connect Plan or you can buy it outright for $840 -- a little bit Continue reading...

I've had a surprising number of emails and tweets to me over the last week or 2 stating "I'm new to Android, how do I ..." which got me thinking: what are the basics of Android? First thing to keep in mind is don't be scared!. Unless you're diving in boots and all to 'root' and 'flash ROMs' to your device, it's Continue reading...

All the action starts at CES 2012 over in Las Vegas, Nevada from tomorrow (officially starts on the 10th) and although a majority of the technology stays States-side, we'd love to hear from you guy what you'd like to see come out of CES -- whether it be Android related or not. We'll be keeping track of the Android Continue reading...

Editor's note: This is an opinion piece by one of our writers, Dan Tyson. The Nexus platform is a reference platform. It is what Google sees as what a phone should be, it is usually the phone that gets the Android software update first and is used by an ever increasing range of people. When the Nexus One was released it Continue reading...

It's that time of year again, folks, where we announce the top 5 Android devices that we thought really stood out and performed well. The phones are judged by Team Ausdroid with the following criteria: launched in Australia this year; specs given the time of launch; positive feedback we've been given by readers about the device. We thought we'd Continue reading...

Hello there readers, how are you all going this fine day? Good? Good to hear. As you may know, Team Ausdroid is fairly crazy for new devices (who would have guessed?) and with the Galaxy Nexus from Samsung & Google the latest piece of Android tech in the country -- along with it being a Nexus device Continue reading...

Optus are now offering two 3D smartphones on their network and lucky enough for us they're both running Android, so we thought we'd compare the two devices -- the LG Optimus 3D and HTC EVO 3D -- in two areas: plan pricing and specifications. We're laying out the pricing and specs Continue reading...

After a discussion with the team regarding weight loss and working out, I noted that a number of the staff here at Ausdroid have seen some great results when it comes to their personal fitness. So I asked my fellow writers to help put together their success stories as well as a list of Android apps that helped Continue reading...

It's clear to see that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Motorola RAZR are the two most talked about Android devices at the moment, so it's only fair that we bring out the good ol' comparison table and put them head-to-head on paper. We've highlighted in green what we think is the best of each comparison Continue reading...

As an Emergency Services volunteer in South Australia, I have seen the ugly side of what a motor vehicle in "control" of someone who's not paying attention can do not only to other vehicles on the road, but buildings nearby and the people in or near them. I assure you that it only takes a moment of inattention at the Continue reading...

Earlier this afternoon one of our writers, Daniel, told me that he might be onto something awesome and to jump onto Skype so we could suss it out. After a 4-way conference call we think we've sorted it all out. Dan found that a device with the codename GT-i9250T went through the Wi-Fi certification process two weeks ago Continue reading...

When the Apple event earlier in October unveiled the iPhone 4s, we all had a bit of a chuckle. All around the web, people had been predicting the impending release of the iPhone 5, only to be disappointed (and amused) when the iPhone 4s was announced. Buzz did a little write-up Continue reading...

Capisce? No? Let me explain. Remember the Nexus S? Well the specs of that device were almost a carbon copy of the Galaxy S plus a few other addition that made it 'stand out' as a Nexus device: NFC, Curved Display, 'Nexus' name. Now not too long ago Samsung launched the Galaxy S Continue reading...
