To change the homescreen wallpaper is of course the easiest and most popular way of customizing an Android device. I usually copy entire folders with wallpapers in them from my computer to the Images folder on my Android’s SD card, and TechCredo hosts many large wallpaper collections. But there are several excellent apps in the […]

Here’s a collection of various 8-bit and retro pixels wallpapers, several of which feature the world’s most recognized Nintendo protagonist: Super Mario. Many of these 8-bit inspired backgrounds look quite nice as homescreen wallpapers on Android phones. Bearded Super Mario, wooden Mario, and this platform are my personal favorites.

Motorola has turned Apple’s classic 1984 big brother ad against them with these promos for the world’s first Honeycomb tablet – the Xoom. Motorola’s message is obvious: now there’s a more powerful alternative to the iPad, and Apple has almost become the Big Brother of the dystopian George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, that Apple showed […]

These two concept devices appeared during or shortly after CES in early January 2011, and are somewhat old news by now, but I wanted to share them nonetheless. Many promising concept devices never materialize, because financiers couldn’t be found, the projects weren’t deemed commercially viable, or because the designs were too far ahead of current […]

It can be fun to check out the wallpapers that come preloaded on various new Android handsets. These are the official wallpapers from LG’s latest Android flagship device: the Tegra 2 touting Optimus 2X.

TechCredo isn’t about bringing the latest news; it’s more about documenting and listing the coolest things in mobile technology – the truly innovative stuff, stuff that’s impressive enough to even geek out a hardened tech geek. Such as the recently revealed Motorola Atrix superphone running Android that also can serve as a desktop and netbook […]

Almost two years ago, when even Android 1.5 Cupcake hadn’t been released yet, Russian über phone insider Eldar Murtazin labeled Android 2.0 “pretty sad”, but version 3.0 of the platform “fantastic”. Apparently, Eldar dropped those comments after having viewed closed demos of Honeycomb as it looked back then at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. […]

The MIUI Team, which I nominated for “Android Person of the Year” at Androinica, has just released a strikingly professional promo video of the latest rendition of their custom Android ROM. The version number of each MIUI release is based on the date it was made available, so v12.31 will be released on the final […]

You might remember the highly original unboxing video of the Nexus One that featured ninjas and stop-motion animations. It was uploaded almost a year ago, and now the ninjas are back in another viral marketing video that takes the concept one step further. I won’t spoil the surprise, but the clip can’t be embedded and […]

This is fairly old news by now, but I wanted to post it anyway. Something I guess I have in common with most people is my complete and utter indifference to 99.5 percent of all ads. Sometimes, however, a commercial comes along that manages to catch my attention: usually one that’s funny, quirky, tech/sci-fi related, […]
