Judging from our inbox this morning, more than a few of you have discovered the Dog Wars app. We’d been hoping it would slink back into the depths from which it slithered, but such is not to be the case.

Set to roll out in phases, a software update for Android’s candy bar with a keyboard, the Motorola Droid Pro, released late this week adds data encryption of contents stored on the microSD card and the phone itself along with a slew of other enhancements.  Amongst the changes,  Exchange ActiveSync received a healthy update to it’s policies, email, and calendar, plus some bug fixes.  IPSec VPN joined forces with Google’s VPN and combined their settings menus.  A proxy server can now be defined within the Wi-Fi settings and Verizon’s marked it with their VCAST app.  Some other minor bugs are squashed with the update as well.  Full release notes after the break.  Twitter

We tend to not look too deeply into this sort of thing, because it’s just far too easy to edit a build.prop file to show whatever Android version you want. But between our own Google Analytics, plus the help of a little bird or two, it’s starting too look like there’s an Android 3.1 version of Honeycomb undergoing testing.

I know, I know. Just hours ago we told you the Sprint + Google Voice party was going public on April 26. That hasn’t changed.

What has changed is that this very writer of Android Central got his invite a little early, so I’m going to walk you through the (harmless) process of porting your number over.

Following the news last week that Best Buy had put it’s pre-order page up for the Gingerbread-rocking Sprint Samsung Nexus S 4G, some of you will be glad to know that the official ordering page is now up, albeit without an ETA.  The $199.99 new two-year contract or upgrade price holds true and but if you’re looking to buy this pure Google experience outright, expect to pony up almost 700 big ones!  That’s right, off contract pricing is running $699.99 compared to the $529.99 for the T-Mobile Nexus S, which also sells for $99.99 on contract.  Now, that’s not say things can’t change between now and launch date, but given that Best Buy is ready to take our credit card info, it seems to be set in stone. Best Buy Thanks for the tip repsak187!

Those barmy chaps at the Carphone Warehouse have taken their battle-testing of the Motorola Xoom to the extreme, starting off using Google Maps on the back of a motorcycle and culminating with some light 3G browsing on the wings of an airplane. In the video, which we’ve embedded above, they also put Motorola’s Honeycomb tablet through its paces on horseback, speedboat and see-saw. Not quite an Android in space, but very nearly as awesome.

It looks Google Voice and Sprint will get things started in just a few days, as the above flyer is now floating around the Internet.  In case you haven’t been paying attention, Sprint customers will soon have the option to use their mobile number for their Google voice number, without porting, fees, or wizardry. 

We mentioned last month that the folks at Skyfire were working on a big update that would bring a new set of features as well as a new pricing model, and today is the day it becomes available.  There was some talk about that pricing model, so let’s get that cleared up right away.  All the features you currently use in Skyfire will remain free.  The pricing revolves around what they’re calling CAAS (Compression As A Service).  It uses Google’s new Android in-app purchasing to pay for “video cloud acceleration”.  Pay a one time fee of $2.99 and Skyfire renders and compresses video content on their servers, which offers up a more mobile optimized experience and saves both data usage and battery life.  Now before you start grumbling, Skyfire also says the three million of you who currently use Skyfire are grandfathered in and there will be no charge.  In addition, users who download Skyfire 4.0 through the VCast apps section of the Market n your Verizon phones will also get the service free.  Now we can all grumble a little bit at content deals, but not too much.  $2.99 isn’t a bad price at all if you need to watch your data usage.
