Posterous is one of the simplest blogging platforms out there, even simpler than tumblr. Posterous lets you blog from just about any OS/browser you can send an email from thanks to its great email publishing feature. But sometimes, you actually desire a dedicated app. Posterous had come out with an iPhone app sometime ago and today, they’ve released their first Android app.

Color me optimistic when I say that this tablet would be the first Android tablet that competes with the iPad. Sure, Samsung Tab is out there, but how many people actually buy it over an iPad? Not many. One of the reasons is that Samsung have stretched out a phone OS without any large number of 3rd party apps that actually work well on a tablet. You can’t really blame Samsung for that as they’re too early to the game. The real tablet Android OS will be Honeycomb, thought to be version 3.0 of Android. This should bring along official APIs and developer support for tablet apps.

In case you’ve been unhappy with the laggy performance and delayed rollout of Froyo for Galaxy S by Samsung, the silver lining has been revealed. A super fast, lag free build marked Android 2.2.1 i9000XXJPU has been leaked which fixes much of the issues people used to complain about previously. Gone are the days when you needed to install a lag fix just to make the phone useable under heavy load ( a lot of people will still say that a lag fix is needed, don’t listen to them ).

It’s that time of the year again when the next flagship Android phone is released, yet again, to dethrone the current contender. Normally, the attraction to upgrade is based on the feature set of the device. But when you look at the Galaxy S and then Nexus S, there aren’t many benefits in upgrading apart from a few features such as NFC, gyroscope and flash. But the major feature in Nexus S is Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread. This is the latest update to Google’s mobile operating system and now that they’ve tied it with a new Google experience device, you can be rest assured that the next OS update will be released on this device first.

This is first ever full motion video of Sony Ericsson PlayStation phone that has just been spotted in Greece. Its called the Z1 aka Zeus that features a capacitative touchscreen, an 8MP camer with LED flash and runs on Android Gingerbread OS (v2.3).
