Huawei promises 'smartest, fastest, most high-performing smartphone yet' in February Huawei promises 'smartest, fastest, most high-performing smartphone yet' in February by Phil Nickinson on 12/21/2011 \| Filed Under: Smartphones, News; Tags: huawei, smartphone, Mobile World Congress, mwc12 \| 46 comments Chinese smartphone and tablet manufacturer just hit us up to tease some new kit in 2012, promising we'll see "our smartest, fastest and most high-performing smartphone yet, taking a leap into the future of mobile communications." The announcement will come on the eve of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei has yet to really break into the U.S. market, though it does manufacture the uninspiring T-Mobile Springboard tablet. And while MWC isn't a U.S.-centric show, it is a high-profile show. And with Android Central in attendance yet again, you can bet we'll have plenty of American eyes pointed that way.

Mobile World Congress Becoming Android World Congress... LMFAO... too funny... Fun at the Google Android Booth at Mobile World Congress 2011 by Phil Nickinson on 2/17/2011 \| Filed Under: News; Tags: android, google, smartphone, mwc, Mobile World Congress, mwc11 \| 22 comments There's really only one way to describe Google's Android booth -- and even "booth" doesn't do it justice, it's more like half a hall at Fira de Barcelona. It's epic. First off, to borrow the infamous line from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer -- developers, developers, developers. Google had a couple dozen or so developers on hand to show off their apps -- a good many on the Motorola Xoom with Honeycomb. Some we saw at the Honeycomb event a couple weeks ago, others were new. Dominating the joint was a giant Android robot, with a slide -- yeah, a slide -- snaking around it. More on that in a minute. There were a couple of spots for passers-by to be Androidified -- that app that came out this week that turns your picture into an Android-type avatar. And the smoothie bar -- yeah, there is a smoothie bar -- ¡Muy bien! You could get Cupcake, Donut, Froyo or Honeycomb flavors. No, not done yet. Remember the showcase of Android phones back at Google IO in May 2010? It's now a train that stretches probably a good 50 feet or so, with just about any Android device you can think of on board. Stuff we've never seen, even. Talk is cheap, though. Check out the photo gallery -- and more on that slide -- after the break. Youtube link for mobile viewing
