After the release of the Android Market Website in the beginning of this week, many Android users tried to download applications on their computers but couldn't, because the website generated an error saying that no phone is associated with the respective mobile phone. Well, now we solved it and we are glad to bring you the right way of doing it.

First, login into your account, click on "My Account" and then on "Recover password". You will then have to enter your current password to prove it's you. Access the "SMS" section and click "Edit". If your phone number is already there, then you will have to remove it. If it's not there, you just enter it and save. If it is there, after removing it you will have to sign out, then sign in again, go back to the same menu and put your number there again. Save and log out. After logging it, that's it, the problem is solved.

It may come as a surprise for some of us, or not, but Motorola cancelled the Android 2.1 update for the Cliq XT, which was planned to happen soon. The update was announced few months back and was even showed in the media. The community manager of Motorola stated in the press that though they tried their best, over the last months Motorola's developers did just not managed to create the perfect OS version for the Cliq XT. It's just not doable.

Motorola users became pretty annoyed and went in on the official forums ragging around about not buying a Motorola device again. Total understandable considering the fact that some bought a Motorola because of the Android 2.1 update promise.

Earlier reports suggest that AT&T will not accept sideloading on its HTC Inspire 4G. Basically, sideloading means to be able to download and install applications that are not developed to work with an operating system. AT&T's approach will not change in the following months, as the carrier decided sideloading non-Android applications will be forbidden and will not work for the HTC Inspire 4G.

However, there has to be some application that will make it possible, because Apple announced they will not accept installing non-Apple Store applications on their devices, and yet many hackers managed to create applications that are allowing you doing that - it's just not official and accepted by the company, but it can be done.

Blogger (or Blogspot) - launched in 1999 - is the second most used blogging platform in the world, after Wordpress which, in the last years, had a blast. Nevertheless, Blogger is still used by millions and millions of users. Now with Google owning the business, they thought it would be appropriate to create a Blogspot application for their operating system, so that mobile phone users can post on their blogs without having to fully load the website.

You will need to have Android 2.1+ to use the application and you can grab it for free from the Android Market. Now there's not any excuse anymore from not blogging from wherever you are on Earth.

The handset is now stated as a soon-to-come mobile phone, but there are not any information regarding price, long-term deals or anything else.

Google held an event today at their headquarters to show off the new Android operating system, codenamed Honeycomb 3.0. Few demos on the stage for the new OS were not enough for the guests, as Android engineering director Chris Yerga walks on the stage to show another new feature: the Android Market Webstore, which can be easily found here.

Android applications can now be purchased from the Android Market Webstore, while up to now the applications could only have been bought via a mobile phone running Google's operating system.

Social media integration works well with the new Android Market, with users being able to share links to apps on Twitter. The market is now fully live, though in the beginning users could not log in. If you're running Android you should take a look at it.

Bell decided to clear all their first Windows Phone 7 from the stocks, and are doing this by lowering the price of the LG Optimus Q. Back when it was launched, the phone was $50 on a three-year deal, but now Bell dropped the price to $30 on the same deal. The price for the phone without a contract remains the same, $450, which I believe it's a lot more than Bell should charge for it.

The phone features an AMOLED capacitive screen with 16M colors (480 x 800 pixels resolution), qwerty keyboard, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and Bluetooth. It runs Android 2.1 Eclair and is powered up by a 1 GHz Scorpion processor by Qualcomm.

Just before 2010 ended, a new Sony Ericsson leak showed us a future mobile phone which is going to join the Sony collection as soon as possible. The device looks like Vivaz and seems to be similar to it, but only in form and design, because the Neo will feature Android and not Symbian.

Right now no one really know the name of the future device, as its been codenamed as Sony Ericsson Hallon/Halon and coded as MT15, but sources suggest that Xperia Neo will be the name of the new handset.

The mobile phone will have an 8.1 MP camera similar to the one in the Xperia Arc and the handheld will feature an 854 x 480 display. As said earlier, the phone will feature Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Android has become in the last quarter of 2010 the best sold operating system in the world, overcoming Nokia's Symbian. With almost 39 million handsets sold around the world in Q4, Android passes over Nokia, which stalls at a level of 31 million handsets sold in the same amount of time.

Android is right now spreading around the world fastest than even the iPhone, so this is a remarkable achievement. The battle at the top is between Google, RIM and Apple, and it seems Google is taking over the mobile phone world. Nokia, on the other side, seems to lose a lot of ground - and fast. Apple and Android are growing quarter after quarter, while Nokia stalls or goes down. The Finnish producer's future ideas does not even seem interesting for the market anymore, so I can't see a very shiny future for them.
