Buzz Moody — LG knows there’s a problem with Android applications at the moment: there just isn’t enough 3D applications to be used on 3D-displaying devices — like their own Optimus 3D. They plan on combating this issue by unveiling the world’s first 3D game conversion engine for smartphones. Yep, it even sounds bad-ass. The conversion engine will...

Buzz Moody — So you wanted a tablet but you didn’t want to pay over $600 for some half-assed Honeycomb tablet, even though you love Android to no end, so you instead purchased a $99 (or so) HP TouchPad. Now you’re thinking that the idea wasn’t that great because WebOS isn’t that much better, and you want to...

Buzz Moody — In an interesting turn of events, powerhouse LCD manufacturers, LG, Sony and Hitachi are to merge their LCD businesses to form one giant company. The displays in question will be small to mid-size, which covers phones, tablets and handheld gaming devices. What’s awesome about this, is that all three of these companies — whom will...

Buzz Moody — Just when I thought HTC Sense 3.0 on the HTC Sensation was the most over-the-top it could ever be, I have been proven wrong. This video (after the break) show that HTC are looking to expand upon the lockscreen interactivity with a clock that responds to touch inputs just liking you’re hitting it. There’s also...

Phil Tann — One of the keen eyed forum goers on Android Police noticed a new name trademark under the Toshiba brand name, “Excite“. The information leaked on this new tablet is sketchy at best, however, as with everything coming out now, it’s rumoured to be powerful, thin, light and sexy, which is pretty much the opposite of...

Buzz Moody — File this one away in the Rumour Mill for now, but we’ve received word from a source whom tells us that Dick Smith Electronics are expecting the HTC Wildfire S on Telstra Prepaid to hit their warehouse(s) around the 5th of next month. This would then mean that it will go on sale to the...

Buzz Moody — So today was just another day in court for the two major technology rivals, Samsung and Apple, with both still bickering over the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and iPad 2. The only real win, if you want to call it that, is that Samsung can release the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in very late September or early...

Lucas Burnett — Welcome back to another episode of the ever glowing Ausdroid Podcast. This is episode 13, recorded Wednesday 24th August. It was a serious week in tech and mobile.

Irwin Proud — Here at Ausdroid we’ve been covering the Apple vs Samsung story since the claws came out at the end of July. So after the court hearing on 1st August 2011, the Australian Federal Court ordered that Samsung “will not without the licence of the first applicant [Apple], import, promote, offer to supply, supply, offer for...

Daniel Tyson — After reading this post about Android outselling iPhone, I got a tweet from Scott from the Ausdroid Podcast who suggested emailing customer service for Coles and Woolworths, which I did, and received the following replies confirming that both supermarket companies are working on Android applications.

Matt Booth — Samsung make some great phones — 5 million Galaxy S II owners can’t be wrong! — but in my opinion they don’t make phones which push the boundaries, which is why I hope the rumours of Samsung making the next Nexus device are wrong. If this Nexus Prime device profile from Samsung’s own website is...

Irwin Proud — Well if you were one of the few who bought the Motorola Atrix from Telstra, you will be excited to know that Telstra’s Support Site now shows the Gingerbread update as “Currently in Telstra testing”.
