Verizon & Android news

Some great new Android phones debuted at CTIA, including the much anticipated HTC Supersonic, now called the EVO 4G.

Note: neither of these is likely to be on Verizon, but this is the android thread.

HTC EVO 4G is Sprint's Android-powered knight in superphone armor, we go hands-on -- Engadget

Samsung Galaxy S hands-on with video -- Engadget

The screen absolutely blows away the iphone. I'm guessing the 4G iPhone in 1-2 years will have a similar upgrade.

Gorgeous TFT & WXGA screens, 5 & 8 MP camera w/ 720p video, 1 GHz snapdragon processors in both.

More videos of this impressive phone. That HDMI output is exactly what the movie industry needs imo. Buy HD movies to take with you, then plug it in to your big screen for home viewing.

So after a little over two months of owning the Droid, I thought I'd give my input on what I like and don't like. Granted, the likes outweigh the don't likes by ALOT. The one thing I wish they would have put on there is a bigger blinking LED for texts and missed calls. I love everything else about the phone, the screen resolution is amazing!

This video is 4 months old, but I don't remember seeing it before.

Their recent TV ad campaign had me intrigued:

Netflix looking to hire 'Android video playback expert' -- Engadget

Netflix will stop at nothing, we say -- nothing -- until you have the ability to watch films like Failure to Launch and Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom on every conceivable device in your possession. It's hit the Wii, it's coming to the iPhone, and now? That's right, the kids at Los Gatos want YOU to help "build Instant Streaming client implementations on Android devices." Are you "a senior engineer with a strong background in embedded and mobile development, specifically on media-enabled devices," with over ten years experience, hands-on experience with media playback on the Android platform, and a knack for DRM technologies? You're in luck! Hit the source link to get started. And if you do get hired, make sure you keep us in the loop as things progress. You owe us at least that much, right?

Have any android users tried this app? It's the same concept as the Samsung Omnia 2 feature

edit: it looks like there are a number of these apps out there, with slideIt getting the most love:
Swype vs SlideIT vs Shapewriter? All look great (and similar)! - Page 13 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum
