Took a bit of a leave of absence from the site – it takes up quite a bit of time and I needed to devote that time to other things. However, I’m back, and will be posting regular updates as often as possible. I’m also looking for a contributing author – someone who has a passion for Android and wants to share stories and devices they’ve found and write reviews if they’ve tested something out firsthand. No experience necessary, just know that you’ll be subject to some proof-reading before I post any articles (for the first little while, anyways).

So lets review what’s happened in the past little while! I have a 2.2 update for my HTC Desire finally, the wireless tethering feature is amazingly handy. It makes me wonder what I ever did without it, and it means that I can use my tablet anywhere. I have a license for Tether that I can’t use anymore (for Blackberry), so if anyone is interested, it’s yours for cheap.

In Tablet news, the Samsung Galaxy Tab has been released, all the major carriers down the US are offering it for around the same price ($650), and a few are subsidizing it to the tune of $200 off on-contract. I’ll post a comparison of pricing soon. There have been quite a few tablets released, and even a few cancelled, as well – There’s a 10″ tablet capable of running Angry Birds for instance, and the Archos 70 internet tablet is shipping for $279, but the LG Froyo-based Tablet has been cancelled, the JooJoo first generation has been cancelled (the company has plans for a JooJoo2 with Android) and the Toshiba Folio 100 is no longer being sold. Viewpad is even offering a discount if you send in your laptop and purchase a Viewpad Tablet!

The Asus Eee Tablet is going to been renamed, and with any luck I’ll be able to test drive one in Q1 of 2011 – I spoke to the National Account Manager about a month ago about it, and he seemed pretty excited about this one. I like the quality Asus brings to the table, so I can’t wait to see what they’ve built.

Anyways, stay tuned everyone! Thanks for the emails and questions, if I haven’t replied to you already, it’s definitely in the works.
