Droid Gets Froyo Next Week!

Finally, I have been waiting for this news. Verizon Wireless just announced that the Motorola Droid will be getting Android 2.2., or Froyo, next week. This is big news for Droid owners as their phone was starting to fall behind of the rest of the pack, with a smaller processor than these new 1GHZ Snapdragon, OMAP 3630, and Hummingbird CPUs. This is a big announcement for Motorola as the previous 2.1 upgrade ended up 3 months later than expected.

T-Mobile G1 Blaze On the Horizon With T-Mobile HSPA+, Original G1 Reaches it's End of Life

It is a sad day for Google as the first android branded phone, The T-Mobile G1, otherwise known as the HTC Dream, is dead. The phone never gained much traction for android, with it's thick chin, slow processing, and a reasonably small screen. It gave android the first sign of emerging, however, and spurred on later products like the DROID, the Google Nexus one, and now, the EVO 4G and the DROID X, android has gained popularity at a scary pace. But new signs for android are emerging. The G1 Blaze might be the first phone with HSPA+, a new network with download speeds up to 23 MBPS, more than doubling WiMax speeds topping out at about 10. This starts a new first for any mobile phone, as android has been many firsts.

This is a list of the processors of the new IMac

Do You Like Qualcomm Processors? I Don't!

The only problem have with HTC phones is the processor. The Snapdragon seems to be very snappity-snappy loading webpages, but very clunkety-clunky when loading 3D graphics. In some benchmarks, the Motorola Droid (yes, the droid 1!) surpassed the Almighty EVO in 3D FPS tests. I wish htc could make their own or use TI instead, because it would compare better. I wonder if people agree with me.....They should. And, to make it worse, the EVO is capped at 30 FPS! Why, I don't know. I have a few links down below :)

Apple To Invest Some $180 Million On Free Bumper Program

According to estimations, Apple is going to spend somewhere in the ballpark of 180 million dollars for it's free bumper program for the IPhone 4. Here's my question: will every customer be satisfied? I thought the new look of the IPhone 4 was to be sleeker, thinner, and more attractive than it's predecessor, the IPhone 3GS. This bumper could make it almost as clunky as the 3GS, and add weight to it. If I owned an IPhone 4, I would not want to have to put a rubber shell around my phone just to be able to make a call without dropping it. What do you think about this issue? tell me in the comments!
