Google Launches Android Market For The Web, Better Payment System
It’s been a long time coming, but Google finally seems on the way to improving the Android Market experience. About time, too, since Apple’s been luring the cream of the mobile developer crop with the more lucrative opportunities in the App Store. The first big change is the Android Market Web Store, an online portal that lets you browse and purchase apps right from a browser — even on your computer. Just access the site, sign in to your Google account and begin searching for apps you like. After purchase, the apps will be “pushed” to the smartphone device of your choice wirelessly over either WiFi or 3G. That’s a boatload of convenience, clearing the room for impulse purchases from users who spend most of the day on a desktop browser anyway. Improved payment options have also found their way to the Android Market. For end consumers, individual Google accounts will now be able to store credit card numbers and payment information, allowing you to purchase new apps with one click

Samsung Galaxy S 4G, The Vibrant’s Successor Gets New Name, Details
The Samsung Vibrant 4G first revealed a couple weeks ago now has a new name and plenty of details to go along with it. Called the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, the handset isn’t much different from the Vibrant, although the changes should be notable enough to make those who bought the original recently just a little upset. On the hardware end, there are, basically, two notable differences: a front-facing VGA camera for video chat and an ST-Ericsson radio for receiving HSPA+ signals. The rest of the ensemble appears to be exactly the same, including their appearance

Yahoo states its stand on Microsoft Windows Phone 7 phantom data fiasco
Kryssa Guntrum, Director of Global Product Communications sent us an email that’s hot off the inbox concerning Yahoo’s involvement in the current phantom data problem that is happening with Microsoft Windows Phone 7, and here is what she has to say about it. “Yahoo! Mail is widely available on tens of millions of mobile phones, including those running on Apple iOS, Android, Nokia Symbian, and RIM.
