Another day, another overstated and sensationalised security scare! I don't normally take too much notice of this sort of thing, but I've had a few emails asking me to investigate and report on the latest security scares for Android. This time round, the "scare" is based around an app that was written out of curiosity to see what an app Continue reading...

The results of our poll are in! We asked you which (Android, duh) phone you were thinking of getting next and the results are pretty much as we expected: you want the Samsung Galaxy S III. You can check out the total results here, but we'll give you the top five from over 1,100 votes. Samsung Galaxy S III - Continue reading...

It has become somewhat of a routine that every fortnight Google will update the above graph (Platform Versions) with the percentages of how many devices are running each version of Android, and then technology blogs will rush to praise or criticise Google. The last update took place on March 5th, which means the next fortnightly update should have taken Continue reading...

“When will ICS be available for my device?” - It’s a question most of us have been asking each other -- and our carriers -- ever since Ice Cream Sandwich was announced by Google on the 19th of October last year. The wait for a software update seems to take excruciatingly long since the update must be prepared and tested Continue reading...

While the Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event in America -- pfft, give me the AFL Grand Final any day -- the ads are also a massive spectacle. Samsung's ad was the only one that piqued my interest, mainly because it brought together three things I love: Android, The Darkness and Australia's own Miranda Kerr, Continue reading...

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...
