Do you have any doubt that Android is quickly becoming the biggest name in the mobile world? Well, if the immense amount of Android powered handsets wasn’t enough then perhaps you should check out a tweet recently sent by Google’s very own Andy Rubin.

According to Mr. Rubin, 300,000 mobile phones are being activated each and every day powered by the Android mobile operating system. To put this into comparison, Apple CEO Steve Jobs took center stage back in September to let us know that there were roughly 230,000 iOS activations per day. Just to note, Rubin makes an effort to say phones, while Jobs says iOS devices in general which includes the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. This would lead one to believe that if Google factored in tablets, those figures would be much higher.

What ever the case may be, Android is growing, and it’s growing fast. Have you hopped on board yet? Do you plan on doing so?

Android is one of the hottest mobile platforms and its latest version, 2.3 aka Gingerbread, is the talk of the town. However, seeing how some devices have either yet to get or have just gotten the Android ‘Froyo’ 2.2 update it would be ridiculous to think that Gingerbread is coming soon. Luckily, for those of you who don’t mind going the not so official route, the Android community has managed to port the latest version to various handsets.

The most recent of such handsets to get the unofficial Gingerbread treatment seems to be the HTC Droid Incredible. According to various reports that have surfaced today, the Android hacking community has nearly completed an Android 2.3 ROM for the Droid Incredible. Of course, this doesn’t guarantee it will be out soon but if the past is anything to go by, it sure will be.

Be sure to check back where we’ll keep you posted on the latest Android developments.

There have been so many Android powered smartphones that it’s getting hard to track which was the top dog at what time. Not too long ago, one of the most hyped devices was the HTC Legend, the HTC Hero’s successor. Compared to modern day devices the Legend’s specs are quite slim with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 600MHz processor and 5 megapixel camera. However, thanks to the Android platform, the Legend was a superstar in its day and age.

For those of you that still have an HTC Legend, you will be happy to know that the Android 2.2 update is getting pushed out tomorrow. If you see an available update today, make note that this is not Froyo but instead Android 2.05.405.2. This update will reportedly prep the Legend for tommorow’s update to Froyo.

Now we just need a Gingerbread update and we’ll be set.

If the number of layers is any indication of protection on an iPhone case, then this Gumdrop Drop Series iPhone4 case has the most protection of any iPhone 4 case that I have seen.

This is definitely designed for the klutz that can’t keep his or her iPhone 4 from dropping from his or her pocket, and has a screen protector, two layers of shock absorption, and a shock-absorbing rubberized polyurethane internal case as well as a hard plastic external case.

The limitations are these: No access to all the ports while it is in the case, but you will have the ability to use the camera.

It is available now in five two-tone color combinations for $44.95.
