Android 4.0 update for the Motorola RAZR delayed as HTC Rezound update confirmed for today Posted: 06 Apr 2012 12:42 PM PDT According to new details from Best Buy’s computer systems, the Motorola RAZR and RAZR MAXX update that was supposed to roll out on April 4th has been delayed. No reason was given for the delay, so we’re not sure what the holdup is or when Verizon and Motorola will try to roll it out again. Since we got a sneak peek at what Motorola's Android 4.0 build would look like with the latest version of MotoBLUR in January, the delay most likely is due to radio or network connectivity issues. Fortunately, the bad news for Verizon’s RAZR owners is accompanied by a second confirmation that the Android 4.0 update for the HTC Rezound is still on track for today. Verizon has not released any official statements about the update, but we still have a few hours left in the day. How big of a disappointment would it be if Verizon missed the Ice Cream sandwich roll-out dates for the RAZR, RAZR MAXX and the Rezound?

Google Tablet pushed back to July over pricing concerns Posted: 06 Apr 2012 06:09 AM PDT Those of us wanting to get our hands on the oft-rumored Google branded tablet will have to wait a little longer. In a statement provided to The Verge, sources close to the project stated that in its current state, the Google-branded tablet would have to sell for $249. This has caused Google to search for ways to drive the price of the tablet down into the $149-199 price range as it hopes to compete with the Kindle Fire and a rumored 7-8″ iPad mini. The sources also confirmed that ASUS was in fact working on the Nexus Tablet, and that it used NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 system on a chip. This is contrary to previous reports that Google and ASUS had moved to a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip, though the specifications are obviously not final. From the report, we can speculate that a co-branded Google and ASUS tablet will be coming in Q3 of this year, feature some fairly high-end specs, and will likely retail for $199. Whether a pure-Google Android 4.0 tablet will be enough to steal customers away from the Kindle Fire or Apple’s iPad remains to be seen, but it’s safe to say we’re excited to see what Google brings to the table as it attempts to double-down on the tablet industry.
