A short while ago, we covered the steps for those looking to install Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich on their UK and Australia Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 devices. Well now, we're also going to describe how you can quickly root your device with its updated software. More details after the jump!
Having only seen the light of day through the Galaxy Nexus initially, Google's release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich was beginning to become an easy target of flak from the tech world. The Big G's latest - and supposedly greatest - mobile OS had only reached a miserly 1% of the total Android population at the turn of the year, and rivals Apple must have been chuckling at Google's abject display in how not to announce and release a firmware update.
Lately, there have been quite a few rumors and leaks regarding the Samsung Galaxy S III, revealing the device's possible specifications and a few other tidbits along the way. And a new report out today from BGR sheds some light on just how big of a launch Samsung has in store for the successor to its flagship Galaxy Android lineup. In a nutshell, it will be big. But can you expect anything less for such a significant device, within the Android world?
As of late, cloud storage services have been gaining significantly in popularity. Both Microsoft and Apple are involved in the space in some form, on top of highly successful startups entirely dedicated to providing such services (i.e. Dropbox). Thus, it only makes sense that Google would want a piece of the action as well. Since 2010, there have been murmurs that Google was planning to launch a cloud storage service, and, more recently, it was revealed on good authority that such a service was certainly in the pipeline, and that it is going to be called Google Drive.

With the anticipation for Samsung's Galaxy S III reaching fever pitch, the predictable influx of supposed leaks is in full swing. Following on from Samsung's immensely-popular Galaxy S II, the expectation of the device cannot be underestimated. We've sifted through quite a few images purporting to depict the next best Android device - some which do look plausible, while others fail to convince.
The HTC One V is still a fairly new arrival to the market, and although it's by no means a pile-driver in the smartphone industry, its 3.7-inch display, 1GHz single-core processor, 5-megapixel camera, and Beats Audio enhancements, inside a svelte 10 millimeters unibody render it a pretty decent package - especially given the $370 handset-only price tag.
The “One” series of smartphones marks a rebirth for HTC, once a dominant Taiwanese smartphone manufacturing company but now far behind juggernauts like Apple and Samsung. With just three models with straightforward names - the One X, One S and One V - it shows that HTC has finally, finally realized that Apple’s strategy of quality over quantity of products is far more beneficial than releasing a new flagship device every few months.
If you cast your minds back to last year, you may remember a little feature introduced by Google-owned YouTube, which allowed users to effortlessly convert standard videos to 3D.
