We are getting closer and closer to the release of the next major version of Android, folks. Google updated their official Android Developers blog today with a guide on how to make Honeycomb apps compatible with Ice Cream Sandwich so said apps work properly on tablets and smartphones.

Android enthusiasts will know that the camera on Samsung’s Galaxy S II superphone is widely considered to have the best optics in the smartphone market today. Its image and video quality is, perhaps, second only to the mighty 12 megapixel sensor on the Nokia N8 (which is the only good thing about the Nokia’s Symbian-based phone).
Facebook has updated their official app for Android today. The updated app brings much-needed features like being able to control privacy settings while posting, tag friends and places in posts and improvements like a refined UI and better-working Messages and notifications.
