Touchscreen phones — and their onscreen keyboards — are all the rage these days, and this week one from Swype found its way onto the Android-based myTouch 3G from T-Mobile.

Android This Week: ARM Alliance Formed; Droids Fix Themselves?

Android is like a snowball rolling downhill — it won’t be long before it’s moving too fast for anything to stop it.

Knowing this, ARM and the Android folks have put their heads together and formed the Solution...

Nexus One: The Best Android Phone Yet

Let’s face it, when it comes to the Nexus One, aka the Google Phone, there’s really only one thing you want to know: Is it better than the iPhone? The answer, unfortunately, is not all that simple.
