We are pleased to announce the latest feature added to this site, it's called the FanaticForge. It's a smelting pot of creativity. What is the FanaticForge? Well, the forge is a place for members of this site who have an idea and need help to make it happen. It's also a place where members can get involved with other members projects and work in a project team. Two heads are better than one apparently, so all your heads together must be even better! Latest project-ideas are listed on the frontpage, or you can go direct via this link: http://www.androidfanatic.com/cms/fanatics-menu/projectfork.html?section=projects

Okay, so you may have noticed we have been playing around and experimenting with text-ads down the right-hand side of this site, now we are not saying they are crap or anything, but the 'context-sensitive' advertising really isn't that, well sensitive. We have had allsorts of rubbish floating past, from 'find love in your area now' to 'viagra' to god knows what. As we don't charge for anything with regards to this site and the information inside it, we needed to find a way to monetize and capitalize on the large volume of users and hits we are receiving, as the research and running costs all cost time and money, and as they say - time is money! So.... we have teamed up with Amazon to create an online shop where you can buy phones and ancillaries at bargain prices. So next time you are looking for the latest handset, please browse our deals, if you buy anything here you are supporting this site. The store can be found here: http://www.androidfanatic.com/cms/store.html or using the link on the top menu. Thanks! UPDATE: The online store section of AndroidFanatic.com has now extended to SIX countries. We are hoping to add more in due course.

Some of you may be aware that between around 11pm tonight (Sat 23rd Jan) there was a temporary database failure, on one of our servers. This lasted for about 1.5 hours and was completely my fault.

We have noticed many thousands of hits from non-English speaking countries. So in order to make this site as accessible as possible, we intend to launch our translation service, where you can choose your language, and the page will be translated into that language, and all links you click on thereafter. However right now, if you fall into the category of non-english speaking, you can't actually read this....yet. Watch this space. Are we cunning linguists? Or what? ahem. :cheer:

I have created an installer script to easily get Debian running on your Android device, giving you access to the full plethora of programs available in Debian and let's you continue using your phone as it was intended to be: as an Android device with all the capabilities thereof. None of the process does any damage to your underlying android device and your phone still does everything it used to - even while Debian is running. Think of it as a Virtual Machine, except not. Whole process should take about 5-10 minutes! To see it running, download it and view the EASY instructions click here

UPDATE: (15th Jan 2009) Haven't forgotten, I have been away on a course for a few days and was hoping to have this wrapped up before I left but I am afraid it didn't happen that way. HOWEVER whilst stuck in the hotel I have been creating a decent ONE-CLICK type installer for you to get this running without any messing about. None of the process does any damage to your underlying android device and your phone still does everything it used to - even while Debian is running. Think of it as a Virtual Machine, except not. Again, the tutorial and installer will be located here within the next couple of days.
After nights and nights of research, hacking and modding, it's paid off. An easier way for full blown linux without lugging your laptop around. Please bear in mind that linux is the most powerful and stable OS in the world. Now bear with me a day or two! This is going to be a None of the process does any damage to your underlying android device and your phone still does everything it used to - even while Debian is running. Think of it as a Virtual Machine, except not. The tutorial will be located here within the next couple of days. PS: it's really quite simple! Thank god for hackers and open-source! A Full-blown linux box right there in your pocket! Meanwhile here's what FULL Debian on an Android looks like:

Now I have been using this battery on my new G1 device for a while, and I can't believe I am saying this but it appears the more I use it the better the battery life becomes. I don't have a set charge pattern, but I have noticed an improvement over time. After all my slating of the battery on other forums I might have to eat my words. We will see what we will see. Keeping you posted.

After a quick informative chat with DarkriftX over at http://www.android-dls.com, it seems our typeface for the logo above was too close a resemblence to the google affair. So we have quickly reacted to this and made the neccessary mods to the logo to fall in line with branding guidlines outlined at http://www.android.com/branding.html Thanks to DarkriftX
