looks quite good at a first glance. i hope the launcher is much more customisable. i quite like the bottom right-hand side task bar (along with the notifaction bar) in Honeycomb.

edit: a major improvement upon gingerbread, visually. ICS seems to be a lot more polished.
 
Sadly, the launch has been postponed. Not sure if this had been decided before the leak? Wonder what the reasons are.

​


Color us a disappointed shade of blue, but it appears that Samsung and Google have decided not to launch the Galaxy Nexus (or Nexus Prime, or whatever it's called) and Ice Cream Sandwich at their October 11th Unpacked event. The two companies sent out a joint announcement reading:

Samsung and Google decide to postpone the new product announcement at CTIA Fall. We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product. New date and venue will be shortly announced.​
The press event on the 11th was expected to be not only the debut for the successor to the Nexus S, but our first good look at the next version of Android. For whatever reason the companies have decided to delay that launch. But, if Eric Schmidt is true to his word, we shouldn't have to wait too much longer... he did promise us that it would launch by November. We'll let you know as soon as we get a new date to expect "something big."

Google Books (the e-reader app) and the accompanying "Books" section of Android Market are now available in the UK.
 
Holy fuck, the T-Mobile US version of the SGS2 (Hercules) is scoring HUGE on Quadrant.

That's about 700 more than what the international version clocks in at. Must be because this has a 1.5GhZ processor as opposed to 1.2 in the international version.
 
Casey, just recently I keep getting notifications telling me there is an update(s) for my apps from the market, when I goto the market and look at my apps, i see no updates available. Any idea why this is happening?
 
I really don't like the Nexus Prime's picture in profile though, if it's real. Looks too curved to me, and too 70s sci-fi-style. Other than that I approve.

Not sure but maybe try clearing your Market cache.
 
CyanogenMod 7.1 has been released today and it's also available for Xperia Arc now. I'm a CM noob though since I've never had one. I have a rooted phone anyway (but with locked bootloader). Is it worth unlocking the bootloader and installing the CM over a customized official firmware (Android 2.3.4)? If yes, why?
My phone does whatever I want it do to anyway, I love the SE launcher but all I might be looking for would be improved battery life. I can't find info about battery drain on 7.1 yet.

Yes, CM has vastly better battery life than any stock ROM. It also has way more features, customisation, is free from carrier bloatware, way more bugs have been fixed and is just plain faster. I'm going to install it on my SGS2 when I get some time, I'm already running it on my NookColor.
 
Details on the Samsung Galaxy S III leak out: 1.8GHz dual-core CPU and 12MP camera? (Update: wrong terminology)

We're still awaiting the release of the Samsung Galaxy S II on T-Mobile this week, and yet it's already starting to look like yesterday's half-eaten breakfast. That's because some fuzzy details are now leaking out about its inevitable successor, the mystical Galaxy S III. The leaked presentation slide above, uncovered by Phandroid, shows a phone that's packing a 1.8GHz dual-core Exynos 4212 CPU with 2GB of RAM and a 12 megapixel rear-facing camera. Oh, and a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display isn't too shabby either. If this ends up being true, we're a bit puzzled by the inclusion of four buttons on the bottom -- a departure from the first two Galaxy S devices -- and why the slide refers to the original Galaxy S as running on an Exynos processor, rather than Hummingbird. Color us a shade of skeptic since we're still a few months out from CES and MWC, but it's never too early to start getting excited over an upcoming device, right?

Update: One other piece of evidence that leads us to believe this is fake is the fact that the term "Super AMOLED Plus HD" is used; if this were real, Samsung would likely use its proper terminology, which isHD Super AMOLED.

This may more than likely be fake.... But... Samsung did it with the Nexus S, so why would they not do it to the Prime?

The way I believe its most likely fake is because who ever made it spelt "copying" wrong.
