One Click Root? Nexus One Does That Too
If you just nabbed a Nexus One either through Google’s developer dashboard or some other means, you may still be interested in rooting it. Although rooting the Nexus One is a lot easier than most other Android handsets to date, there’s just something about the ease of a one-click solution that makes rooting it a worry-free process. The exploit it uses to root the device is the same exploit that was used to root the Motorola Droid X (using UniversalAndroot). UniversalAndroot actually support several other devices with the Nexus One being the latest added into the mix. The app comes with built-in unroot functionality, as well, and will also help you install custom ROMs. The best part? It’s free to download. Head on over to XDA to get started. [ Thanks, Matt. ]

HTC Desire OTA Upgrade to FroYo Started Yesterday
Yesterday, a bunch of you filled our tips inboxes as you were excitedly downloading FroYo to your HTC Desire handsets. HTC first confirmed that unlocked handsets would be receiving the upgrade sometime this weekend, and while the goods didn’t start rolling out until later in that time frame (Sunday compared to Saturday) they still technically delivered as promised. Wait, why are you still looking at this? Your OTA is probably done downloading and ready to be installed (that’s if you aren’t already reading this from your FroYo-stuffed Desire). [ Thanks to everyone who sent this in! ]

Sprint Launches 4G for Five More Markets Today, Epic 4G’s Official Site Goes Live
Sprint’s announcing the continued expansion of their growing 4G network (something that’s starting to become a nice trend for Mondays). While today’s expansion might not be as beefy as weeks past, we can’t say we’re disappointed about it. Those in Modesto and Stockton, California will finally be able to enjoy 4G coverage today after many of you were accidentally able to tap into the network not too long. Additionally, Sprint customers in Jacksonville, Florida, Wilmington, Delaware, and Grand Rapids, Michigan are all being lit up. With the HTC EVO 4G out now and the Samsung Epic 4G headed our way sometime soon, we can only imagine these 4G expansions will continue to spill out like water from a bottle as Sprint’s newfound business model mostly depends on them getting as many people as they can using 4G services. Sprint’s also launched their promotional site for the Samsung Epic 4G earlier. There’s not much to see here except some eye-candy, specs, and a sign-up form to be notified when the phone becomes available, but that should be enough to get you too click on through , no? Sprint Launches 4G Coverage in Delaware, Florida and Michigan and Extends 4G Coverage in California Modesto, Calif., Stockton, Calif., Jacksonville, Fla., Wilmington, Del., and Grand Rapids, Mich., Launched Today OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug 02, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Today, Sprint (NYSE:S) unveiled 4G service to populous areas of California, Delaware, Florida and Michigan. With today’s launches of Modesto, Calif., Stockton, Calif., Jacksonville, Fla., Wilmington, Del., and Grand Rapids, Mich., Sprint boasts 48 metropolitan areas enabled with the new mobile broadband service, which allows for Internet traffic at super fast speeds. Unlike competitors, Sprint is the first national wireless carrier to actually launch wireless 4G technology in cities across the country. Wilmington, Jacksonville and Grand Rapids are the first cities in Delaware, Florida and Michigan to offer 4G service. With 4G, Sprint customers experience fast mobile downloads, streaming video without the lag, and turbo-charged Web browsing. This new wireless technology boasts download speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G.1 Users can video chat with friends and family via the popular HTC EVO(TM) 4G, America’s first 3G/4G wireless smartphone. And in the near future, Sprint customers will be able to purchase Samsung Epic(TM) 4G, the company’s second 4G enabled smartphone. With the Overdrive(TM) 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot by Sierra Wireless, users can create a 4G hotspot on the road or at home. With the Sprint Free Guarantee, customers can try 4G for 30 days and if they are not satisfied, they can cancel service and have the opportunity to be fully reimbursed.2 Sprint also offers simplicity and savings vs. competitors with Everything Data plans, which include unlimited Web, texting and calling while on the Sprint network for one low price. “Sprint customers are the first in the country to use 4G with either a smartphone like HTC EVO or one of Sprint’s other 4G devices like the 3G/4G Overdrive Hotspot to wirelessly connect a laptop to the Internet,” said Matt Carter, president of 4G, Sprint. “Later this year, Sprint will launch Boston, Miami, New York and Los Angeles, enabling millions more to harness this powerful new service.” As summer travel continues, people will find that 4G is available in many markets across the country: California – Merced, Modesto, Stockton and Visalia; Delaware – Wilmington; Florida – Jacksonville; Georgia – Atlanta and Milledgeville; Hawaii – Honolulu and Maui; Idaho – Boise; Illinois – Chicago; Maryland – Baltimore; Michigan – Grand Rapids; Missouri – Kansas City and St. Louis; New York – Rochester and Syracuse; Nevada – Las Vegas; North Carolina – Charlotte, Greensboro (along with High Point and Winston-Salem), Raleigh (along with Cary, Chapel Hill and Durham); Oregon – Eugene, Portland and Salem; Pennsylvania – Harrisburg, Lancaster, Philadelphia, Reading and York; Texas – Abilene, Amarillo, Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Killeen/Temple, Lubbock, Midland/Odessa, San Antonio, Waco and Wichita Falls; Utah – Salt Lake City; Virginia – Richmond; Washington – Bellingham, Seattle, Tri-Cities and Yakima.

Droid 2 Gets Benchmarked in the Wild, Just as Fast as All the Others
The Motorola Droid 2 isn’t expected to launch until sometime later this month, but enough geeks have gotten their hands on the device that we’re already starting to see Quadrant benchmarks for it pop-up. The Droid 2 tested here definitely seems to be FroYo-based as it nearly surpasses an Android 2.2-enabled Nexus One . We expected as much considering the bump in speed it’s gotten over its predecessor (1GHz processor compared to 550MHz). Even with Motorola’s custom skin apparently not going anywhere, it doesn’t look like it’s doing anything to bog it down with the JIT-injected FroYo doing its job. [via IntoMobile ]

Cheap EVO 4G Knockoff Looks Cool, But Quite Silly At The Same Time
I love cheap knockoffs. They try so hard to emulate some of the most successful devices on the market, but you can spot them from a mile away and you can just tell from their looks that they’re about as worthless as crud. Still, the Chinese market seems to get a kick out of them and the HTC EVO 4G is no exception to this trend. It does look a lot like the EVO 4G. If you put it out of your mind that the real EVO has no chromed sides and that the position of the LED lights and the speaker on the back are supposed to be switched around, it might just fool the average person (then again: who’s looking that closely to begin with?) There’s no HDMI-out, no HD video recording, no front-facing camera, and no Android: Windows Mobile disgraces a knockoff that could’ve otherwise been decent. The funniest thing is that they’ve managed to keep the Sprint 4G logo on the back door even though it’s obvious Sprint does not manufacture the battery door pictured above. I still don’t know how some of these companies manage to get away with this blatant disregard for likeness and copyright infringement. I understand copyright, patent, and trademark laws in the US are different from other regions in the world – giving these Chinese knock-off manufacturers a green light on pulling this stuff off – but jeez. Ah well, at least the kickstand works. That’s the only important to consider here, right? [ M8Cool via TalkAndroid via MicGadget ]

OnStar Brining Smartphone Control to Full 2011 GM Lineup
Remember the OnStar app for the Chevy Volt ? The one that allowed you to remotely start your car, lock and unlock doors and check vital engine statistic all from your Android handset? If you were kicking yourself that you might only get a chance to experience it by owning a new Volt, that shouldn’t be a problem anymore. OK, you’ll still need to buy a new car, but at least the options have opened up as General Motors plans to bring the same OnStar technology to its complete lineup of vehicles for 2011. The remote control and monitoring functionality should really open up a new way to experience you car. Figure out some way to use GPS and Google Maps to remotely drive the car to pick you up and you basically have a Bat-Mobile (body kit, paint job, and rocket booster sold separately). You still need to sign up for an OnStar subscription starting at a pricey $18.95 per month, but I like where this technology is going. Hopefully more manufacturer’s will adopt similar systems in the future. Check out the video at this link for a better sense of what you can do with your Android phone and OnStar. [via Engadget ]

Podcast 70: Antennagate und Quartalszahlen
Im Podcast diskutieren wir die aktuelle Geschäftsentwicklung bei Microsoft und Apple, die beim Umsatz mittlerweile gleich auf liegen. Ist Apple mit seiner Ausrichtung auf den Mobilmarkt besser für die Zukunft aufgestellt als Microsoft? Und hat das gute Apple-Image durch die Empfangsprobleme des iPhone 4 gelitten? Zwar hat es Apple geschafft, das Image des kleinen, innovativen Herstellers zu konservieren, der die Branchengrößen herausfordert, doch die aktuellen Quartalszahlen zeigen, dass man längst in der Liga der Großen mitspielt. Der Umsatz liegt bereits auf Microsoft-Niveau – nur weil sich der PC-Markt erholt und damit die Verkäufe von Windows und Office anziehen, hatte der Software-Konzern zuletzt noch die Nase vorn. Im Podcast diskutieren wir, wie Microsoft und Apple für die Zukunft aufgestellt ist, tut sich Microsoft doch gerade im Mobilbereich, in dem Apple so stark ist, schwer. In diesem Zusammenhang gibt es auch einen kleinen Rückblick auf die Apple-Pressekonferenz vom vergangenen Freitag, bei der Steve Jobs versuchte, die Empfangsprobleme des iPhone 4 kleinzureden. Wir verraten, was wir von Gratis-Bumpern halten, ob durch die Aktion möglicherweise sogar ein längerfristiger Image-Schaden für Apple entstehen könnte und wann voraussichtlich eine echte Lösung für das Antennenproblem zu erwarten ist. Außerdem geht es im Podcast um Nokia, das in der Krise steckt. Die Finnen sind zwar noch immer der größte Handy-Hersteller der Welt, doch der Marktanteil bei Smartphones schrumpft. Es fehlt an einer Antwort auf iPhone, Blackberry und Android, so dass man aufpassen muss, nicht irgendwann als Hersteller von billigen Handys für Entwicklungsländer dazustehen. Davon ist man zwar noch weit entfernt, doch das sich etwas ändern muss, ist unbestritten. Man ist bereits auf der Suche nach einem neuen Chef und setzt große Hoffnungen auf das neue Smartphone N8. Wir analysieren die Hintergründe der Nokia-Misere und wagen eine Prognose, ob das N8 erfolgreich sein wird oder nicht. Das und vieles mehr… Podcast jetzt anh
