Now we have a date that it will be hitting at least two carriers. After... Read more »

It seems that there was a manufacturing defect with the Pebble Blue version of the long awaited Galaxy SIII. Samsung has had to destroy nearly 600,000 casings and is now starting manufacturing again after some modifications. This will create a delay of a few weeks or even months for the Pebble Blue model, but fortunately, Marble White models will be freely... Read more »
Bad news first: Sony will not be upgrading the Xperia Play to Ice Cream Sandwich. They were dedicated to doing so, even going as far as to develop a beta ROM and release it to developers and testers. Unfortunately, with both their external testers and in-house testing, the experience has not been 100% consistent. Namely, they can not keep a fully stable... Read more »
The AT&T HTC One X was previously impervious to the HTC bootloader unlock tool. AT&T (presumably, no one has proof they did it) made sure of that. But a few hackers figured out how to get the official unlock method to work. Not much can stop someone who is determined to get full freedom, right? It's a slightly complicated procedure, but dead easy if you... Read more »
The new TouchWiz UX launcher from the Galaxy SIII has been ported over to any Samsung Ice Cream Sandwich ROM! This is great, as the launcher looks to be amazing from the videos I've seen. I just flashed it, and it runs amazing on my Exynos-based device. I'm sure it'll run incredibly smooth on all Exynos devices like the international Galaxy SII and Note, the... Read more »

The latest rumor about the Nexus family is that Google and ASUS will be shipping a tablet next month. This goes against the rumor that they will release 5 devices on November 5th to celebrate Android's 5th anniversary, which I honestly enjoy very much. But it could very well be true. This ASUS Nexus tablet that has been rumored for a long time is currently... Read more »
It looks like Samsung is pushing ICS to Galaxy Notes everywhere. The newest country to get it is India. It's available as both an OTA or through Kies software from a computer. It's great to finally see Samsung using OTA updates for models outside of the US. Most of their older phones needed Kies to be updated, meaning having to tether your phone to a computer....
