Motorola Bee: First Android 3.0 Smartphone?

February 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

A new device has been appearing across the web that strikes me as a little strange. As we all know, Android 3.0 was specifically designed for tablets, and tablets alone. There have been rumors of an Android 2.4 which is said to be Honeycomb for Smartphones, but there’s no solid evidence that this is even true. This device pictured above is called the Motorola Bee. This phantom device would run Android 3.0 along with the following features:

  • 32 / 64 GB internal storage options
  • 1280×720 screen resolution
  • 5MP front-facing camera
  • 4.3″ Super AMOLED multitouch display
  • 8MP camera w/ full HD capture capability
  • 3G+ support

There’s a couple different aspects of this “Bee” that bother me. One, this device is almost identical to the Motorola Atrix 4G. I mean, down to the size, shape, and even the fingerprint lock. Secondly, these images alone look like the work of a Photoshop student during his first day of class. I’m not saying that the Motorola Bee doesn’t exist or is not plausible, because lets face it. The folks over at XDA will surely have some sort of Honeycomb port in the very near future that we could dump on our hardware compatible Android devices, but this… just doesn’t seem legit.

Let us know your thoughts!

Samsung Nexus S Gets Overclocked to 1.2GHz

January 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment

For those of you who haven’t had the chance to experience the Samsung Nexus S’s speed and responsiveness first hand, take my word for it when I say, “it’s fast”. Although Morfic over at XDA-Developers has taken matters into his own hands and released a kernel which allows the Nexus S to push another 200 million clock cycles bringing it up to 1.2GHz from its original 1GHz Hummingbird processor. Everything works great except that it disables the Bluetooth capabilities on the device, which is in the process of getting fixed. If you don’t mind sacrificing your Bluetooth functions and want to give it a go, then click this link to head over to XDA’s website to grab the file.

Gingerbread Shows Up on Samsung Galaxy S

December 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment

At first, the newly released Samsung Nexus S was the only device to sport the new Android 2.3 OS otherwise known as Gingerbread. Now thanks to supercurio over at XDA-Developers, the Samsung Galaxy S has now seen Gingerbread and seems to be running it rather smoothly. Unfortunately some functions like GPS, WiFi and Voice aren’t fully functional yet- it’s still pretty sweet to see 2.3 in action on the Galaxy S. Check out the short clip above to see it yourself.
