The Humble Bundle Debuts on Android – Name your price for four Market hits

The cross-platform indie wonder, modestly named “The Humble Bundle,” made a welcome expansion today by adding Android to the line-up. If you haven’t dealt with The Humble Bundle before, perhaps you’re wondering what my fuss is for. For years now, the site has been partnering with game developers to offer games to consumers on a name-your-price scale with proceeds being divided between the developers, charities, and the Humble Bundle itself. The buyer even has the ability to decide how much of their contribution goes where. Up until today the games have only been available to a range of PC operating systems. So what’s up for grabs?

One-Click Root for Stock Gingerbread (Droid X, Droid 3, Droid X2, Cliq and Cliq 2) [From the Forums]

Earlier today we reported XDA forum member dirbliss had successfully rooted the Motorola DROID 3. Now, thanks to Framework43, krazykrivda, and psouza4 over at rootzwiki, we have an uber simple one-click root method for stock Gingerbread. I have tested this out on my Droid X running 4.5.602 and everything went flawlessly. As per P3Droid , this method should work on the Droid 3, Droid X, Droid X2, Cliq and Cliq 2. Here’s how it goes down, but proceed at your own risk: Motorola drivers need to be installed – 32bit here and 64bit here Download and unzip ‘Droid 3 easy root script v7′ to your PC from here Turn on USB debugging on your phone by going to Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging(check box) Plug phone into your computer and select “Charge Only” mode from your phone’s notification drop down (pull down your notification bar and tap USB connection to change). Navigate to ‘Droid 3 easy root’ folder you unzipped to...

Here’s My Perfect Android Smartphone, What’s Yours?

Everyone has an idea of what their perfect android phone would be. While I would say that the Galaxy Nexus running Codename: Android would be as close to a perfect Android experience yet; I have found that I am wanting and missing various aspects that other Android phones have or need. I often contemplate what that phone would be like if I had a say and while I do not have Samsung , HTC , or Motorola on speed dial I’ve decided that I will share my opinion with you. So without further digression here it is, my perfect phone. Design/Form Factor: I do like the Galaxy Nexus phone factor. The curved class works well and the phone holds well. However I do have to say that I liked the way the Rezound felt in my hand. That phone felt solid and not overly heavy. I like the Nexus and it feels sleek but the plastic is definitely apparent. I would say that the design of the phone would be perfect if it had Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus sleekness and it were coupled with HTC’s smooth metal fi...

Does RIM Have What It Takes To Catch Up To Android, iOS and Windows Phone?

As many know by now, the mighty duo of CEO’s at RIM, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis have stepped down only to promote one from within. Taking over as single and only CEO of Research in Motion is Thorsten Heins, a four year COO who worked closely under Jim and Mike. In recent news, he’s been given the cold stare thanks to making such statements as “I don’t think there is some drastic change needed,” and “We are evolving. We’re evolving our strategy, we’re evolving our tactics, our processes.” As one standing from the outside looking in, I’d argue in favor of a drastic change, personally. But hey, RIM’s the competition so I’m not pressing the issue. However, the question does arise, should Google’s Android be afraid? As much as I would love to shout from the roof top “ hell no! “, I”ll try to keep it professional here. With RIM falling drastically behind every quarter, Android, iOS and Windows Phone pretty much occupy the...
