Oh joyous day, we’d hoped this sort of functionality would be coming soon – and like any great innovation, it was already built in to the phone, just waiting for some intrepid developer to uncover it. This is the key to getting the ATRIX 4G’s Webtop app working via any HDMI capable screen, simply by removing the Device ID check from the Webtop Launcher in PortalApp.apk and making the DockProvider/DockService show Webtop as an option whenever your ATRIX 4G is connected via HDMI! This lovely functionality is brought to you by none other than “Fenny,” a smooth dev from over XDA way

Sprint Kyocera Echo dual-touchscreen Android phone tipped for imminent reveal

February 7th, 2011

Sprint is expected to launch a dual-touchscreen smartphone made by Kyocera later today, pairing two 3.5-inch touchscreens and running Android. According to the WSJ , the Sprint Kyocera Echo has what’s described as a “pivot hinge” – presumably a double-hinged arrangement – which allows one screen to fold back against the other out of the way. We’re imagining something similar to Fujitsu’s prototype , shown here

Waaay back in April 2010, Google announced that support for printing from any app on any device, OS, or browser without the need to install any software. Everyone said – that’s totally crazy, but now they’re back with some more words on the subject. Just this past month, Google Cloud Print was activated for people working with the Google Chrome Notebook pilot program, the project in which a pre-wave of Google Chrome notebooks were sent out to people willing to test them out and report back to Google for further development

DoubleTwist Releases AirSync, Pouring Awesome Sauce All Over Your Device

December 1st, 2010

Posted by: Ray Walters December 1, 2010 We don’t need no stinkin’ wires!  That is what DoubleTwist is saying with the release of their new AirSync add-on for their Android app.  Before you read any farther, long story short, you can now sync music, videos and pictures to your Android device without a wire through DoubleTwist.  You need to stop reading this article (can’t believe I am saying this) and go search the Android market now for the DoubleTwist AirSync app.  The reason being that the add-on is only $.99 for the first 10,000 people to download it.  After which, it will go up to $4.99.  Go now.  The rest of the article is waiting for you after the break . The AirSync app works over you wifi network (of course), allowing you to “tether” your device to your DoubleTwist installation on either your Mac or PC using a numerical code like when you connect a bluetooth device.  The connection process is super simple, and “just works”.  After installing, it was a matter of dragging and dropping an album onto my device that was listed on my PC DoubleTwist software to get it to sideload the music.
