On the road with Android Central
We’re about to have one hell of a February (and March, and probably April and May), and we’re bringing you along for the ride. The events started with CES in Las Vegas and … well, they don’t ever really stop. So we’ve worked up a handy page so you know where we’ll be, when we’ll be there, and what our favorite drinks are should you happen to run into us.
Check it out at AndroidCentral.com/events, and we’ll see you on the road!

An Android challenge to close out 2010
December’s here. Just one more month until this year wraps up and the next one begins. And when you stop and think about it, what a year it’s been. Started with the launch of Android 2.1 on the Nexus One and is ending with … Well, we don’t quite know, do we? Gingerbread’s coming. And, eventually, Honeycomb. We know of a smattering of new hardware waiting in the wings. Dual-core. More tablets. It’s gonna be busy, to say the least. And over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking a look back at some of the highs and lows of 2010.
But let’s end the year on a high note, shall we? A bit of a challenge, perhaps. Three things you can do to help cap a stellar year for Android Central:
- Help us hit 50,000 followers on Twitter: It’s an ambitious goal, but we’re almost there already. Just a few more thousand, and we’ve got it. And once we hit it, we’ll have a giveaway to celebrate. As in free stuff. Follow @androidcentral.
- Join us in the Android Central Forums: Hundreds of your fellow Android fans are joining every day. New to Android? We’ve got the friendliest forums around. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. We’re here to help. Register for the forums now.
- Find us on Facebook: Look, we know you already spend half your day on Facebook. Your boss knows, too. Might as well be a bit more useful and hang out with use while you’re doing it. facebook.com/androidcentral.
Tell your friends. Tell your neighbors. ‘Cause it’s on in 2011.

Lloyd sure gets around, doesn’t he?
Boy, that Lloyd sure gets around. Our very own mascot apparently is doing some unauthorized moonlighting for Kuwaiti electronics retailer Electrozan, and pimping the Samsung Galaxy Tab. We’re going to have to check that guy’s expense reports. [via Facebook]

And we shall call him … Lloyd
World, meet Lloyd. Lloyd, meet the world. After a long, long search — and hundreds of great entries from you fine folks, our new mascot has a name. And in a random act of randomness (and redundancy) not seen since the Great Random Access Act of 1978, we actually had two forum members suggest the name at the exact same time. So to dgalanter and EvoPaul30, we say congratulations, and we’ve got some freebies on the way.
And to everyone else, give Lloyd a rousing hello. You’ll be seeing a lot more of him in due time. (And you can download those kick-arse wallpapers here.)

Android Central App Version 2.0 brings a host of improvements
Fresh out of the oven comes the official Android Central App, version 2.0. It’s been a little while since the initial release, and we’ve definitely been listening to all of your feedback.
Here’s what you have to look forward to in the latest version:
- Updated graphics to match the website.
- That pesky ad (hey, we have to pay the bills) has been anchored to the bottom of the screen, it’s not nearly as sensitive now, and the appropriate parties have been flogged.
- There’s an all-new alert framework for those of you on Android 2.2 that should make alerts much more alerty.
- Podcasts are fixed again, so you can listen to them in-app.
As always, if you have any problems or suggestions, leave them for our developer (Notice Software) in our developer’s forums.

- Speaking of apps, what’s everybody think about PowerAmp?
- We’re still on the lookout for a good RSS reader for Android. Tell us your favorite, and someone’s going to win a free case.
