Lookout is the number one security service for Android.

Lookout has announced a new partnership with Orange that will see its mobile security software pre-installed on Android devices that are sold by the carrier throughout Europe. France, Spain, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom will be first to get the software in early 2013, and more countries will be added throughout the year.

It’s that time again, the time all us Android fanboys get excited over the possibility of Google becoming a wireless carrier. According to The Wall Street Journal, Google met with Dish Network to talk about partnering up to form a wireless carrier to rival the likes of AT&T and Verizon Wireless (apparently Sprint and T-Mobile are small-potatoes).

SoftBank will combine with Sprint to become one of the world’s largest carriers.

SoftBank, Japan’s third-largest carrier, has this morning announced that it will acquire Sprint in a deal worth $20.1 billion. The company will purchase $8 billion in newly-issues shares from Sprint, in addition to $12.1 billion in existing shares — giving it a 70% stake overall.

It’s only been a couple weeks since Amazon Wireless dropped the price of the HTC One X to $19.99 (new 2-year contract/customers) and they’re already dropping the price even lower. Lower?! How much lower can they go without giving it away? How’s a penny sound? That’s right, for a penny and a 2-year contract with AT&T, you can grab yourself a brand new HTC One X.

Someone needs to give the guy naming Sprint’s devices a pink slip already. Anyways, if you’re a physical keyboard devotee and just can’t bring yourself to abandon your trusty slide-out QWERTY, then Wirefly has a deal for you. Wirefly is now taking pre-orders for the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE as well as offering it for $50 less than Sprint.
