Android smartphones from just about every hardware manufacturer are on the market causing quite a bit of buzz. While popular handsets like the HTC EVO 4G and Motorola Droid X have been causing waves, LG’s Optimus smartphone series has been holding its own as well. Of course, negative publicity like the slip up regarding Android 2.3 not coming to the Optimus line up (which has been disproved) may not be the best thing for the devices but it doesn’t seem to be hurting them too much.
LG has come forth today to confirm the fact that their Optimus series of handsets have managed to sell over 2 million units. This is great news for the company as it comes only 25 days after their announcement that is had managed to sell 1 million. This just goes to show you that in this day and age high powered smartphones aren’t the only devices that do well as there is a niche for budget conscious phones like the Optimus S.
Have you picked up an LG Optimus smartphone? If so, which one?

Android updates are some of the most talked news items in the community with owners clamoring over the latest release. However, while it has taken quite some time for devices to get the Froyo update, Gingerbread is already on the streets meaning smartphone owners will once again be stuck waiting for an update. Luckily, if you’re a Motorola Droid X owner you’ll be happy to know that your device has recieved an update in the form of 2.2.1.
While it’s not the highly sought after 2.3 update, it does bring with it some hefty changes, which we told you about here (including the Madden 11 demo). You may remember that we told you the update was getting a widespread roll-out but if you haven’t yet received the update, it should now be avaialble as an over the air download.
Have you received the Android 2.2.1 update? If not, let us know.

 Dead Rising is one of the most popular zombie-killing games out there, and it has just come to the iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod Touch 3rd generation or better.
Capcom just launched Dead Rising 2 last September, and the mobile version has pretty much the same premise: kill a lot of undead guys with very unconventional weapons.
You should be able to get the App for about $4.99, for a limited time.

If you’ve been paying attention you’ll probably know that Motorola has been working to split up their entities and form independent companies. This may lead you to wonder what exactly will change to give Motorola the edge inthe consumer electronics world. Well, if you were wondering this you may be disappointed to find that the only thing we’ve uncovered is that they will be switching up their branding.
In fact, according to Engadget, the only thing that has changed is that Motorola will be heavily marketing their name in red starting in the new year. What else has changed, you ask? Well, we’re going to have to wait and see as Motorola has kept quiet about it thus far.
Let’s just hope we see some hot new smartphone (and tablet) releases as Motorola is on a roll with devices like the Droid 2 and Droid X.

Luckily, from time to time certain retailers have been known to offer Apple products at a discount cutting us, the consumers, a break. The latest of such retailers to do this is Best Buy who are offering the iPhone 3GS for free to qualifying customers today only.
While it’s not an iPhone 4 and it’s only the 8GB model, those looking to get down on the iOS craze on a budget are sure to appreciate this deal. But if you’re going to get down on it you better do so fast as because like I said, it is today only.
