Hands on the LG Star [VIDEO]
Earlier today we took a closer look at the benefits of dual-core processors, but what about the actual devices you will be able to buy in stores? We know the LG Star is coming soon and have seen some leaked pictures, but GSM Israel just blew the roof off with a 7-minute hands on video. Get the goods after the jump.
What do you guys think? Anyone picking this up over the Motorola Olympus/Etna?

Samsung GPS problems? Please move to open sky and try again
The Samsung Galaxy S is one of the best selling Android phones, but some models have been haunted by GPS problems since they were first released back in July. Samsung finally issued a software update for some phones in September that claimed to fix the issue, but a small (?) number of customers are still having problems.
From everything I have gathered it sounds like this was a software issue, but I know some people who never got their GPS working and we recently saw Samsung swap out the GPS antennas on their upcoming Nexus S.
If you are one of the unlucky few with GPS problems, Samsung just released a new app to the Android Market called GpsRestore that is aimed at AT&T Captivate and T-Mobile Vibrant owners. The app restores the GPS config file values to their original settings, but based on the comments users have…

Join the team! #TeamAndroid wallpapers are here.
We’re back week four and I’m just going to admit it: I’m running out of clever things to say. It’s really tough to introduce a set of wallpapers with gusto week after week, especially when people know they are coming. Hopefully my lame intro doesn’t make these wallpapers any less awesome.
Each week we’ve gotten a handful of requests for a black variant (the users even made a few for us), so this week we’ve got a dark-gray-on-black version for all you battery nuts out there.
To use any of these, just navigate to this page on your phone > choose the appropriate link > long…

5 compelling reasons you will want to buy a dual-core mobile device
All I want for Christmas is a dual-core superphone, but it doesn’t look like Santa is going to deliver one this year. Why am I so excited about this one hardware spec for my next Android device? To put it very simply, dual-core processors will raise the bar for performance and capabilities in mobile devices and they will become the new standard in 2011.
The dual-core Tegra 2 processor by NVIDIA is already shipping in tablets overseas (plus Sears) and it is expected to power the first wave of dual-core superphones and Honeycomb devices. Both the LG Star and the Motorola Olympus have been confirmed to feature the Tegra 2 processor and I expect we will see more products announced in early 2011.
So why should you want a dual-core processor? Read on after the jump for the top reasons why multi-core CPUs should be at…

Winamp update brings SHOUTcast support to an already rich feature set
Winamp isn’t quite ready to shed the beta tag on their Android app yet, but they are one of the most fully baked music management apps available for Android.
The big highlight for the new version is the integration with SHOUTcast which brings with it over 40,000 stations of streaming music and talk for the low price of free. That feature is apparently only available to those on Android 2.2, but the app and the rest of its features are available to those on 2.1 as well.
Really little else has changed from the previous version, but as Clark pointed out in his review last month this was already a very polished app which offered one of the most complete feature sets of any Android media manager paired with a beautiful and intuitive UI.
Some of the notable features of the app include:
- WiFi syncing with the
