Samsung Captivate gets leaked official Android 2.3
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid 2.3
Official Android 2.3 builds have reportedly leaked for Samsung's Captivate handset currently sold from AT&T. It remains unclear if both of the Gingerbread builds, labeled I897UCKE3 and I897UCKF1, are still in beta development, or representative of the stable release that will eventually arrive through the official channel.
AT&T has yet to announce a timeframe for bringing the OS update to the Captivate. The build dates are only separated by two weeks, suggesting the official release may be imminent.

Oracle claims billions in damages from Google's use of Java in Android, determined to get them
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
The lawsuit action between Oracle and Google started last August with Oracle's claims of Google infringing a bunch of Java patents in its Android code, but did you know how big this whole process is? In the latest development of the saga, Oracle states that Google tried to hide “references to the fact that Oracle damages claims in this case are in the billions of dollars.” But does Oracle really stand a chance in getting those billions?

LG's new dual-screen Android phone for T-Mobile spotted
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsLGT-MobileGoogleAndroid
Sprint’s Kyocera Echo is currently the only dual-screen smartphone available, but the Echo may not hold that throne for much longer. Pocket-Lint has gotten its hands on several photos of a new dual-screen Android handset made by LG that’s possibly headed to T-Mobile in the U.K. The secondary display doesn’t look like it’s as versatile as the Echo’s — instead it appears limited to offering quick access to shortcuts — and it certainly has a unique split-keyboard design that would take some getting used to. The phone could launch as the Maxx Q or the Flip II if it ever makes a debut, but there’s no word if that’s definite. Hit the jump for a few more photos.
