Hurricane Sandy may have stopped Google from running its special Nexus event, but with all the devices having been unveiled regardless, the world also gets its first proper look at Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. There was a genuine feeling that Google had finally delivered an Android product to be proud with in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and several months after it began trickling out, how has the Big G improved its "buttery smooth" mobile OS?
Google’s big Android event - which was supposed to be held today - was cancelled, all thanks to Hurricane Sandy. But that didn’t stop the Big G from holding back from their announcements, and today, they have officially unveiled the fourth device in the Nexus smartphone lineup: the LG Nexus 4.
The LG Nexus 4 is very much real, and Carphone Warehouse in the UK just can't wait to sell it to you according to new photos from one of the company's stores.
One of the (many) reasons why you may want to go for a $199 16GB Nexus 7 over the $329 16GB iPad mini is the former’s ability to be radically customized in ways Apple devices just can’t be.
Amusement parks and theme parks are an excellent way of having family, adrenaline fuelled fun, but sometimes they can just be to expensive and too far away. The next best thing is clearly settling down in the comfort of your own home, pulling out your Android smartphone or tablet and creating your own unique theme part right in the palm of your hand. Thankfully, EA Mobile has us covered with Theme Park for Android.
Xbox SmartGlass has been in the offing for quite a while now, and with Windows 8 finally available to purchase online and at all good retailers, the remaining Redmond releases are also beginning to trickle out.

Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung smashed the smartphone shipment record in the third quarter of 2012, with 57 million handsets shipped worldwide. In the process, it captured a 35 percent global share of the market, cementing its position as the number one smartphone manufacturer ahead of Apple.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is just three days away from its tenth anniversary, and in much the same way as it celebrated ten years of Grand Theft Auto III, publisher Rockstar Games will be bringing the iconic title to mobile devices.
There has been no shortage of technology companies pushing out advertising and overview videos in the last few days. Obviously, not wanting to lag behind or be left out of the action, Samsung has followed suit with their own Galaxy Note II promotional video. The video doesn't just remind us that the Note II is imminently available on a number different networks, but it also serves to show us that the second-generation note actually ships with some fairly decent features.
Although it hasn't been officially confirmed yet, it is widely expected that Google will make a number of hardware / software announcements at their Android event that is due to be held at the end of this month. We have already seen leaked information suggesting that we will be seeing a new Nexus smartphone, as well as an update to the Android operating system and a mysterious tablet that is currently only known by the internal Samsung codename of "Mantra".
