It's all go at Google these days. They've just shown off their latest version of the Android mobile operating system; Ice Cream Sandwich, and their hardware partner Samsung has announced the Galaxy Nexus as the first handset to sport it. Now it seems there's another Android Nexus phone packing Ice Cream Sandwich, and it's not the one you expected.
When Apple announced the iPhone 4S a couple of weeks ago, they announced that a select few countries were set to get the new handset as early as the following week. While some were lucky enough to only have a week or so to wait in order to get their hands on the next iPhone, some were left to wait just a little bit longer.
The unfortunate death of Steve Jobs, Apple's former CEO who succumbed to pancreatic cancer some two weeks ago, has led an inevitable surge in the interest in his first (and only) official biography, compiled by Walter Isaacson.

Apple's iPhone 4S might be its latest all-singing and all-dancing smartphone, and it might be made out of some rather nice looking glass and metal, but according to the latest tear-down report, the iPhone 4S costs Apple just $196 to produce.
While just about every new feature in iOS 5 is a welcome one, there are a handful which, well, aren’t all that welcome. Take the example of the updated Camera.app: in iOS 5 it only allows the pinch-to-zoom gesture for zooming in and out. This certainly works, but it is just isn’t as comfortable to pull off as double-tapping the screen and then moving a slider up/down.
Though many iOS users like to dabble with the tweaks and apps available within the Cydia Store, there are many different kinds of jailbreakers.
Despite Facebook's official mobile app having been installed on many a smartphone during the last couple of years, the social network still felt compelled to release a separate app to cater for the instant-messaging side of things back in August, appropriately entitled Facebook Messenger.
