#1 Reason the Motorola Xoom WILL Fail (But Shouldn’t)

GD Quickie: Not Even Mother Nature Can Stop the Android Army
The National Guard does not get called to handle problems on the home front, well at least not in Southeast, Pa we don’t.

Droid Does: Smartphone Monogamy
I bought my Motorola Droid in December of 2009. 2009 was a very busy year for me with smartphones; I started with an original iPhone, then became frustrated with the notification system and jumped ship to Windows Mobile.

Gear Diary First Look: Motorola ES400 Enterprise Digital Assistant
The regular onslaught of weekly smartphone announcements highlighting the latest offerings running Android or the upcoming Windows Phone 7 OS, it’s very easy for Motorola’s ES400 to get lost in the mix.

Review: Otterbox Commuter Case For the Motorola Droid
I take my phone everywhere. During work and everyday life I don’t worry much about it; I work in an office and live in suburban New Jersey. It’s not really a rough life for a smartphone. I do, however, take it when I go hiking, biking and running as a GPS tracker, plus it rides [...]

Unfortunately, short of rooting it there’s not much you can do about either of those, but AT&T did something far worse to the Backflip that you WILL [...]
