We've got a little bit of Monday fun for you guys. Here's a video of Eric Schmidt, Google CEO, way back in 1986. He's being interviewed because of a prank his workers pulled on him and it's just amazing to see young Schmitty in action. Aside from the general awesomeness of bulletproof glasses, wicked hairstyles, and a VW Bug, you can find glimpses of the Eric Schmidt we know today in the video--...

The Motorola Devour is slated to release this week so to whet your appetite, Motorola has just posted a video demo of this Android-powered, Motoblur-running device. A lot of the stuff we see in the demo is fairly familiar but one thing that sticks out to us is that the Devour looks to be amazingly well-built. The materials chosen, the small touches--we'...

Google Voice is awesome, we can tell you that much. We'll leave it to Google to fully explain what Google Voice is. So if you ever wanted to know what exactly Google Voice is, Google just released a series of videos explaining what it is, what it does, what it can do, and so on. It's styled in that typical Google-sketch and is easy to watch and just as easy to understand.

If you can't get enough of the HTC Desire & HTC Legend (and really who can?) HTC has put out some promotional videos showcasing both devices in cute sketch to reality animation. They both feel like those new HTC ad spots and to us, that's a very good thing.

HTC has also posted some "First Looks" on the HTC Desire & HTC Legend,...

If you're interested, the just announced Samsung M100S got some hands-on time captured on video. The device actually looks pretty good--the screen pops, the shape is nice, and the materials look excellent. Even better, the performance of Android 2.1 on the M100S is stellar. We're thoroughly impressed with the M100S and hope that Samsung builds these...

Android devices all have large, clear screens that are amazingly video-friendly. Sure, the Nexus One and Droid took it to the next level but for the most part, Android screens have been pretty awesome. So did you ever wonder which Android device had the best screen...

We all know you guys love a good ol' unboxing--there's nothing like seeing the sweet shiny metal and untouched glass for the first time. However, you haven't seen an unboxing quite like this. In an amazing stop-action video (sponsored by Google), three ninjas fight over the Nexus One while revealing some of the accessories and the device itself. Your ordinary unboxing video will never measure up again.

It's nice to see an awesome video for

Flip, the simple, easy-to-use video recording device, just released an app for Android but it's not what you think it is. They're making FlipShare, which is basically Flip's personal video sharing software, available to our Android devices. Basically, from what we understand, the idea is to record video with your Flip, post it to FlipShare, and then be able to view them through the FlipShare App on your Android phone. Hm, isn't Youtube good enough for mobile...

The Google Nexus One also has a prime page on YouTube (which also is owned by Google). Loads of video after the break.

Update: Whoopsie. This one's been pulled. Have fun in the Google gulag.

Got some time on your hands? Feel free to watch the 10 minute video* above that showcases the UI of the Nexus One in all it's glory. Obviously it's still...

On to the next one! Week 3 of the Smartphone Round Robin is underway and we have our hands on the iPhone 3GS. Don't let the looks fool you, even though the iPhone 3GS looks exactly like the iPhone 3G, it packs some serious zip and power inside. There's also a ton of new features like video recording, a digital compass, etc and the same good stuff (web browsing, ipod) that made the iPhone such an...

Good news for those of you who love video (we're told it's all the rage with the kids these days): Qik has officially released version 0.1.56, bringing 720x480-pixel recording to its Android app and, more specifically, the Droid.

Previously in an invite-only beta, that means that you can use your Droid, which already captures...

Looks like this cat's really out of the bag now. A trio of videos of the Motorola Opus One surfaced on YouTube, spied by IntoMobile and subsequently were pulled -- a telltale sign if we've ever seen one. It's now confirmed that it's headed for Sprint's Nextel arm (...

Yfrog, the popular photo and video sharing Web site for Twitter, has launched a stand-alone application for Android 1.5 and up. With it you can upload media directly to the service, as well as browse tweets. Here's the official rundown:

If you think we're only living in a Motorola DROID or Sprint HTC Hero world now, think again. T-Mobile wants to remind you about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and continues to stress the personalization, available apps, and all around fun factor of the phone through familiar celebrity faces. These commercials are fun to watch if only...

If you're interested in getting to know Google Chrome OS, Google's latest development in re-creating how we use computers, the videos after the jump are a great start. The funny thing about Google Chrome OS is that it's ambitious in what it's trying to do but relatively tame in its execution. The idea of Google Chrome OS centers around creating a browser as the Operating System, which makes some sense for a lot of users. Since what we do on a computer is often just access...

It has been rumored that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 was slated for a February 2010 release, but after seeing people's first impressions of the device, well, it looks like there's still a lot of work to be done. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 just got a bunch of first looks and hands on from the usual suspects and we tidied up their thoughts for your reading pleasure. Here...

Sprint has decided to join the party of releasing commercials for Android devices and market the Sprint HTC Hero as a highly customizable phone with access to thousands of applications. The Sprint ad spot shows Sprint's impressive holiday phone lineup: the Palm Pre, Blackberry Tour, and HTC Hero. We love how the HTC Hero is...

We're looking forward to the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 so much that we'll watch videos that basically re-hash the same features we've already seen over and over again (at least this one's in English!). The video above again showcases the 'Rachael'...

We definitely need to brush up our Spanish but we're pretty sure the video is saying that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is an amazingly wonderful device that...

One of the biggest reasons we use Youtube for our videos here at Android Central (other than its ubiquity) is that Youtube videos play on Android phones (and other mobile devices). It's as simple as that. Without Flash support, a lot of videos on other services are simply lost on mobile devices. Luckily, Vimeo (known for its higher quality content and quality) is looking to change that. Vimeo has announced that they are...

The mysterious V1 Vphone made by the even more mysterious Saygus just got a little less mysterious (which is a good thing, kind of). Saygus execs say that the V1 Vphone will be available to Verizon customers but won't actually be supported by Verizon--so basically you'll have to trust Saygus enough to come through with quality, support, warranty, etc in the V1 Vphone.

If you didn't already know, the DROID is capable of recording video at 720x480 resolution where most other Android phones record at 320x240 resolution. This means that your DROID can record video at the same resolution as DVDs. Whoa.

Apps will surely take advantage of the superior hardware and the first app to do so is Qik, the live video broadcasting application. The new Qik app for Android is currently in the invite-only, beta stage but judging from the...

We've got some good news, some bad news and some really awful news. If you didn't know, the DROID Eris is also releasing today. Verizon just posted a tutorial video on the DROID Eris, which is basically Verizon's version of the HTC Hero. If you want to get familiar with the DROID Eris, we suggest you watch the video above. And...

As much as we all love Android, we can all agree that Android could use a better media player. Android's current media player has always been a little more utilitarian than anything and quickly showing its age. Thankfully, Sony Ericsson is looking to improve upon that in their upcoming Android phone, the 'Rachael' XPERIA X3. From...

Following MLB's lead of introducing their At Bat application for Android during the World Series, NBA has one upped them by delivering their official application during Opening Week and offering live streaming of every NBA game through NBA...

If you're interested in seeing how the T-Mobile Motorola CLIQ and MOTOBLUR works, take a look at the video released by T-Mobile above! The Motorola CLIQ should already be on their way (or maybe even in your hands) for T-Mobile customers who've pre-ordered and will be available to the general public on November 2nd. Social Networking...

If you're interested in the Samsung Galaxy Lite I5700 aka the Spica, you'll be happy to know that it's went through the video treatment. Though the music choice in the video is a surprise, the video itself is worth a look if you're keen on...

BGR has their mitts on the Motorola Droid and was kind enough to record it booting up on video. The 35-second video itself doesn’t tell us much, we just see it go through the usual (but unique) startup progressions a...

Chalk this up as another reason to love Android. Android just received its second video broadcasting/streaming application, Ustream (the first being qik). Any Android user who downloads Ustream (for free in Android Market) will be able to instantly shoot video and stream it live over 3G or Wi-Fi. Other features include local recording for higher quality...

Motorola has just released a promotional video detailing the unique functions and features of the Motorola CLIQ. Though we don't really learn anything new (we've already known the CLIQ was going to be social network heavy), it's nice to see the entire feature set fall into place.

Though the heavy social...

MIIPS Technologies recently demoed an Android-powered set-top box capable of 1080p video. Short reaction: Sweet. Long Reaction: We're unsure if there's even demand for an Android set-top box but if we know one thing about typical TV user interfaces is that they suck, big time. Android could work wonders in that market.

According to MIIPS, this is "a major milestone toward the creation of a reference platform" that'...

A video showcasing the HTC Click has popped up and it's pretty much what you expected. The budget-minded Android Phone gets a brief run through and there's nothing too jaw dropping about it--no HTC Sense UI, relatively small screen, etc. The HTC Click also comes with a microSD slot, 1100mAh battery, 3.5mm headphone jack, camera, and...

The HTC Hero isn't available for public consumption yet but our friends over at AndroidCommunity have gotten their mitts on one and gave it a good ol' fashioned video unboxing. They've also gotten a slew of pictures that showcase the Hero under the harsh light and the Hero really holds up, we're definitely growing to love the design more and more. This Hero is looking...

Information regarding the T-Mobile myTouch 3G has begun to leak in anticipation of today's media event. We already got slides detailing pricing information, release dates, and all the itty bitty details of launch. Now we get a video...

It's really only a matter of time after a big smartphone announcement that the unboxing photos and videos start trickling in. In this case, CoolSmartPhone got their hands on the HTC Hero and blessed the rest of us with high quality pictures of every angle and a beautiful video to boot.

To us, the HTC Hero looks like a slimmed down, sharper-lined T-Mobile G1. The chin is all there of...

Yep, you read that right. Fresh off the reports that the HTC Sense UI will not be available to Android phones with Google branding, the great Android user base has managed a way to flash the SuperHERO rom g3 onto their...

If you wanted to get a sense of how the new Sense UI on the HTC Hero works, you should definitely watch the video above. It runs through the various widgets, customizable nature, and endless features of the Hero. Though some of it may look a wee bit similar to ordinary Android, make no mistake, HTC Sense is certainly worthwhile and...

A video was just posted on the new HTC Hero UI dubbed 'Sense'. There's not much to the video other than some brief scroll throughs of contacts and the like but you can definitely see the TouchFLO 3D-inspiration of the interface. We're very excited to use this on the Hero and we're hoping that it doesn't bog the phone down too much,...

If you want to see how Flash runs on the HTC Hero, feel free to head over to Adobe where they've got a video look at how it all works. Overall, everything about Flash and Android looks pretty darn good--you can double tap to full screen flash videos, play flash-based games, and even access web pages that utilize Flash. For the video they played the trailer for Transformers 2 and utilized...

Qik, the video streaming application, has just hit Android Market (albeit in beta). If you're unfamiliar with Qik, it basically offers live streaming of the videos you record on your mobile device. It's truly an awesome application so we suggest you guys give it a whirl immediately.

Obviously video quality is going to be limited (and sometimes delayed) and we suggest you stay within the confines of either a Wi-Fi hotspot or excellent 3G because there's going...

You can't stop the inevitable. Whenever there's a new gadget to be had, cue the unboxing videos on youtube! The T-Mobile myTouch 3G just received its glory and there are a few nice surprises. The unboxing can actually be called an unzipping because the 'box' that houses the myTouch 3G actually seems to be a 'travel case' that is...

Google I/O was a pretty big deal and we're sad that we missed it this year (for more reasons than free phones). Luckily, if you're still interested in what happened in Google's largest developer gathering, you can catch up with all the happenings online.

There were a lot of big products like Google Wave, Google Web...

We can't tell you how haykuro does it but the man is amazing. He continues to feed us video after video detailing the future of Android. In this particular video we get to see more of the sleekness that is the HTC Hero's ROM. It's really a joy to watch. We don't know if we'll ever see this on a consumer Android handset but if there's a way to...

Unfortunately, the purported promotional video showcasing the HTC Hero has been pulled from Youtube. What we can gather is that the famed 'Rosie' GUI is the main attraction--widgets, new clocks, control bars and more all pop up more than a couple times. Also, it looks like the HTC Hero will be available in 7 different colors: black, white, teal, yellow, pink...

If you weren't lucky enough to attend Google I/O 2009, you'll be happy to know that Google has posted videos from Day 1 of the conference on their Youtube Channel. We know we're kicking ourselves in the behind for missing this landmark event (

We know there are multiple Android devices coming out from the likes of HTC and Motorola but after watching this video of the Samsung Galaxy I7500, we're thinking every other device takes a back seat. This may become the Android device of our choice.

In the video, you get to see the beautiful AMOLED display, multiple angles of the Samsung Galaxy and an all around...

As much as we love the Android platform, we never seriously considered it a big gaming device--the market for gaming just didn't seem to take off for Android. Well, we might have to change our stance after watching a video showcasing the GP2X Game Emulator for Android. The video shows games such as Street Fighter II, Marvel vs Street Fighter...

We know that Dell's Mini-line of netbooks is particularly versatile in terms of the different OS's it can run. We also know that our own Android OS is also versatile in terms of the different devices it can be ported to. What we didn't know is that Dell themsevles are testing out...

We know that Cupcake still isn't officially here yet but we have another update of Android to wet your appetite. Haykuro from xdadevelopers managed to get a build of Android from the HTC Hero (
