Motorola Xoom 2 10.1 & 8.2 Soon
Motorola has announced its next 2 tablets: the Motorola Xoom 2 and Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition. Both tablets are looking at a mid-November release in the UK and we hope on a similar date in the rest of the world. Both 10.1 inch Motorola Xoom 2 and 8.2 inch Xoom 2 Media Edition seem to sport the kind of specs one would expect from a new Xoom tablet. A super-fast, but not revolutionary dual-core 1.2GHz CPU will be available on both devices, as will 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. Both tablets also reportedly sport “HD” displays, which we’re guessing is Motorola’s way of saying Honeycomb’s familiar 1280 x 800 resolution, but it could be higher.
LG Optimus 2X to get Android 4.0
LG has officially denied the rumours that its first dual-core smartphone, the LG Optimus 2X, will not be getting the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update that was recently announced. LG firmly denies the rumors that claim LG will not be providing the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS update for the LG Optimus 2X. These rumors are NOT true. LG is currently in the process of planning the ICS OS update for the LG Optimus 2X as well as other LG high-end smartphones. Detailed information on the ICS OS update schedule for specific models will be announced, once the ICS OS is publicly released by Google. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.
Google Nexus One Denied Android 4.0
The first ever Google Nexus devices, the Google Nexus One, finally looks to have reached the end of the line. Google has confirmed that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will not be coming to the iconic device. It’s not for lack of trying, or by any kind of economically-driven laziness on Google’s part; the specs of the Nexus One just aren’t up to the task.
Temporary Break in Communications
Our regular readers would have noticed an unusual amount of inactivity on our tech blog this last 2 weeks. The reason for this temporary silence is pretty simple; I was on holidays. I had the unique misfortune of planning and booking a holiday smack bang on top of 2 of the biggest news weeks in mobile news history several months in advance. An unfortunate coincidence for which you all have my apologies.
Ice Cream Sandwich in Oct or Nov
Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google and now Executive Chairman seems to have accidentally let slip that we can expect the Android Ice Cream Sandwich update in either October or November. During an extremely long interview Eric said: “We have a new operating system, internally known as Ice Cream Sandwich for some reason, which is being released in October – November, which everyone’s really excited about.”
Google Nexus 4G Specs Leaked?
Boy Genius Report today announced that they had learned some of the specs of the upcoming sequel to the Google Nexus S – The Nexus 4G. Apparently Google isn’t cutting any corners when it comes to power. The Nexus 4G is rumored to be running either a 1.2GHz or 1.5GHz dual-core processor under its hood. That would make it at least as powerful as the Samsung Galaxy S II, if not more.
Android 2.4: Ice Cream Sandwich
Google has just announced the next update to the Android dessert menu: Ice Cream Sandwich. Also known as Android 2.4, Ice Cream Sandwich is taking a slightly different angle than other Android updates have in the past. Rather than focusing purely on upgrading performance and adding new services, Google has said that they’re now focusing on unifying Android devices under one banner: Ice Cream Sandwich.
