A couple of days ago, the Dropbox team gave the Android community a sneak peek at their redesigned Dropbox app for Android. Version 2.0 looked great and was quick to flaunt its Ice Cream Sandwich optimizations. While there was no word as to when the update was going to make it to market, we knew it would be soon. Well guess what? Today’s that day, and we’re happy to announce that Dropbox 2.0 for Android is now available for download in the Android Market.


Do you guys remember that bearded dragon we showed you? You know, the one playing ant smasher on his favorite Android device? Well it looks like he has some competition, and while his opponent shares an affinity for green and a hunger for ants, he’s not a reptile. That’s right, move over Larry* the Lizard, because Barry* the African bull frog is moving in, and he’s ready to eat anything (literally) that comes near his screen.

What we have next, is an Android device, an ant smasher game, an African bull frog, and one over zealous thumb — what could possibly go wrong? You’ll find out after the break.


We’ve got some good news for any HTC EVO View 4G owners out there. An official Honeycomb update is out and ready to be pushed. The update finally brings Android’s official tablet software to the EVO view 4G and also breathes a breath of life into this aging (in mobile years) device. Users will have to be aware that due to Honeycomb being an entirely different beast, updating will result in complete loss of current homescreen settings, along with possible loss of app support. Once you’re done crying over your loss, we can take a look at all of the positive things you’ll gain from having a tablet OS on a — well — tablet.


The DROID 4 has been flip-flopping around the web for the past month with its leaked release dates, images, and specs. We now know it’s not going to be released this month and has been pushed to a possible February release. Speculation has the DROID 4 delayed due to lackluster RAZR/Rezound sales and the recent Galaxy Nexus release. Whatever the case may be, it was foolish of them to even consider another DROID variant so soon after the release of the DROID 3 (released about 6 months ago). While the DROID 4 maintains the OG DROID slide-out form, this recent iterations appear to look more like a DROID RAZR thanks to its RAZR tweaked corners. If you haven’t had enough leaked images to fill your appetite for this upcoming device, consider this your lucky day.


It’s no secret Sony Ericsson is hard at work preparing their 2011 Xperia portfolio for Android 4.0. Sony Ericsson has finally outlined its list of devices that will be receiving the Ice Cream sandwich upgrade along with a less vague timetable as to when these updates will begin. Starting late March/early April, SE will begin rolling out ICS to its first batch of devices with the rest being updated around late April/early May. Sony Ericsson also points out that not all devices of the same model will receive the updates at the same time due to carrier handling. Below is a complete list of SE devices set to receive the update and their expected update schedule.
