Motorola releases the XT626 its first Android first dual-mode iDEN and 3G Smartphone in Korea

Posted in: Today's Chili

According to our good friends over Engadget, the Motorola XT626 has been spot over at the FCC in the USA, however, today, the Motoroal announced that this new phone will be first made available in Korea and will be available via KT Powertel.
Despite being freshly announced, the XT626 is far from being the most exciting Android Phone that we had the chance to see and don’t expect much since this new Moto will only be powered by Android 2.3 and come with a 8Mpix Camera with Digital Zoom and LED …

Samsung Galaxy Beam, Galaxy Ace 2 resurface, get proper launches in Singapore and Taiwan

Samsung has been quiet on the subject of its second-generation Galaxy Beam and the Galaxy Ace 2 ever since they showed together in Barcelona this February, but the two just reemerged as close buddies for an initial launch in East Asia. The Galaxy Beam receives the grandest introduction, as it’s coming to Singapore on July 7th followed by a more nebulous mid-July release for Taiwan residents. Those craving tiny, dual-core TouchWiz will have no choice but to flock to Singapore and pick up an Ace 2 at the end of the month. There’s no word on where else they’ll go on their respective world tours, although the cash outlay is strictly in the middle of the pack: we’re looking at S$648 or NT$16,900 ($513 or $566) off-contract for a Galaxy Beam, while its more diminutive cousin carries a S$438 ($352) price tag on similar terms.

Ice Cream Sandwich consumed by one in ten Android devices

The latest Dashboard numbers for Google’s Android operating system have been released. The verdict? One in ten devices is leveraging Ice Cream Sandwich as their mobile OS of choice. The numbers, which are current as of July 2nd, put Gingerbread (Android 2.3) in first place with a 64-percent install base; followed by Froyo (Android 2.2) with 17.3-percent and ICS with 10.6-percent. Jelly Bean (Android 4.1), announced just last week at Google’s IO Developer Conference, was not included in this instance of the report (as it is not officially available yet). Hit the source link to view all the stats, and feel free to let us know what Android codebase your handset is rocking via the comments.

Peel AllPlay TV unites media sources for Android fans, puts them in harmony with Google TV

Peel AllPlay TV unites media sources for Android fans, puts them in harmony with Google TV

It’s been a awhile since we caught up with Peel, but the company has certainly been putting its time to good use with a big update to its Android app at Google I/O. A new AllPlay TV component acts primarily as a companion for Google TV, pooling together listings of the disparate sources of conventional and streaming TV without having to break out the awkward remote until absolutely necessary. Live TV, DVR recordings and Netflix all sit side by side; if the season premiere of a show is coming up and last season’s finale remains tragically unwatched, Peel will be the cue to record the new airing and hit Netflix for the catch-up. Peel warns that AllPlay TV won’t be part and parcel of the app until July — as compensation, it’s promising that the release will bring Android 2.3 users into the fold, and a parallel version is coming to iPhone and iPod touch owners in the next few months.

Android PC gets wrapped in maple, hits that premium sweet spot

If you feel that a typical barebones Android PC really won’t do alongside your chaise longue and stack of hardback first editions, you may be interested in Jeffrey Stephenson’s latest case mod. Underneath the birds eye maple, acrylic panelling and mesh, the Acero houses VIA’s humble $49 Neo-ITX-based system card, running an iteration of Android 2.3 ready for mouse and keyboard add-ons. Up to 720p graphics is possible, which can be output through its VGA or HDMI ports and although that 800MHz processor may not be up to delivering the greatest gaming thrills, we’ve already got our joystick picked out.
