While we're going to have to wait until next month for the official, stable release of Android 4.x Ice Cream Sandwich for Asus' Eee Pad TF101, an unofficial (and also somewhat unstable) version by XDA member paulburton has surfaced. Check out the details, as well as a how-to-tutorial after the jump!
In a similar fashion in the cat and mouse game between Apple and the jailbreakers, I am pretty sure that this back and forth saga between Apple and Samsung is likely to continue for quite some time. The two companies have an extremely turbulent relationship, with Apple on one hand being Samsung's largest components customer, but the two companies are also dragging each other through different lawsuits claiming the other has infringed upon certain patents.
With so many different takes on the archetypal smartphone from various manufacturers, it’s often difficult to surmise the size of your next smartphone unless, like choosing a dog from the rescue home, you pay it a visit to Target in advance. Please, don’t take that as a cue to go and create a comparison website though, since we already have far too many of those, and in most cases, they don’t offer anything we don’t already know.

In a move which is sure to draw comparisons to the Cydia store which exists on jailbroken iOS devices; tablets and phones running the Android operating system are set to get an unofficial application store which will be home to all of the applications which have been rejected or banned by Google, as well as modifications and custom ROMs. The iOS App Store is notorious for being tightly monitored by Apple, with the Cupertino company having the last say over what gets accepted for sale. Finding software which is available for Android devices outside of the official marketplace has never been particularly difficult, however, it looks set to become a whole lot easier.
Apple and Samsung, Samsung and Apple – it’s all starting to get a little tedious now, wouldn’t you agree? In season two, episode three of the ongoing spat (we’re not counting really), Apple complains that the unlock mechanism on the Galaxy Nexus is in violation of its iconic ‘Slide To Unlock’ patent.
For those of you uninitiated, CyanogenMod is an aftermarket custom firmware for Android, opening the door to a bunch of useful features otherwise unavailable in untouched stock firmware including FLAC playback, theming, and incognito web browsing.
