Sixty seconds seems like a relatively small period of time, if you asked me what I believe I could achieve in a sixty second time frame I would probably admit to it being not very much. So just what does happen around the world in one single minute?
While Samsung has already promised to bring Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) to the Galaxy Tab 8.9 eventually, a trio of dedicated developers have already managed to get ICS working on the Galaxy Tab 8.9. We’ve got the details right after the jump!
After seeing the official Android 4.0.1 ICS with TouchWiz ROM leaked for the Galaxy S II, we’ve received news of the same happening for the HTC Sensation… sort of. Developer robocik has released a ROM based on Android 4.0.1 with HTC Sense 3.5 on top, and we’ve got the step-by-step guide on how to install it on your device right after the break!
According to a tweet by Google’s Android chief, Andy Rubin, Android is activating over 700,000 Android devices every day. That comes out to about 5 million every week!
Here we go again, folks! Apple has issued of multiple copyright infringement notice to Samsung in Australia based not for the hardware/software of a smartphone or a tablet, but for cases for these smartphones and tablets. Details after the jump!
Samsung has officially announced the list of devices that are upgradeable to Android 4.x Ice Cream Sandwich, along with dates of when they expect these devices to get said platform update. Details after the jump!
When Apple announced the iPad, I didn’t rush to get the device. Why would I want a larger, over-glorified iPhone? Yet here I am with an iPad 2 lying nearby. The truth is, I didn’t need the device, but playing with the gadget here and there made me want it. When the second model hit the shelves, I picked one up.
Almost two weeks ago, we heard reports of Verizon “blocking” Google’s NFC-based mobile payment system Google Wallet on the Galaxy Nexus. Verizon later stated this was due to the fact that Google Wallet needed to be integrated with the hardware.
It's an interesting milestone for both Facebook and Google, and one that perhaps has always been on the cards, but Facebook's Android app now has more active daily users than the same app on iOS does. The news is made slightly more interesting when you remember that the Android version of the Facebook app was only made available in September of 2009 - more than 12 months after its iPhone-based cousin was made available.
With Android being the great big bag of open source love (usually!) that it is, we always knew this would happen, but it is worth noting anyway.
