| Five Nexus devices to celebrate five years of Android? Posted: 23 May 2012 11:41 AM PDT
A hot new rumor just hit the internet which suggests we'll be celebrating Android's fifth birthday in a major way this November. According to a trusted TalkAndroid source, we'll be getting five Pure Android/Nexus devices come November 5th. It's not clear whether this means an announcement or actual release however we wouldn't care either way. We're all for multiple hardware makers getting involved with the Nexus project and this new rumor does little to temper our enthusiasm.
While we must maintain that this is nowhere near confirmed we can't help but wonder which five we might see. We'd love to hear from you guys on this one. If you could pick the top five Android companies for a Nexus device, what would they be? Sound off in the comments below.

| AT&T announces Galaxy Appeal for GoPhone prepaid service Posted: 23 May 2012 10:31 AM PDT
AT&T today announced a new Android smartphone for their prepaid GoPhone service, listing it with an early June release. Called the Samsung Galaxy Appeal, it's the carrier's first slide sliding QWERTY Android for their non-contract customers. Well, that is if you somehow discount the Pantech Crossover. Moving on... Specifications are decent for a prepaid handset and include an 800MHz Snapdragon S1 CPU, 512MB RAM, 3.2-inch HVGA display, and 3-megapixel camera. Pricing hasn't been determined yet however we hope it might fall under the $200-$250 price range that most of the GoPhone smartphones run today. Walmart will be the first retailer to offer the Galaxy Appeal come June 5th with wider availability expected on July 15th.

| HTC will not update tablet line to Android 4.0 Posted: 23 May 2012 08:52 AM PDT
Here's a bit of a bummer for those of you who picked up an HTC EVO View 4G (Sprint) or HTC Jetstream (AT&T) tablet over the last few months. These two, along with the HTC Flyer, will not be seeing an official Android 4.0 update from the manufacturer. Considering we've not run into more than a couple folks who actually own one of these three we suspect that this doesn't affect too many of you. Nevertheless, you'll have to go with some rooting and modding if you want to load Ice Cream Sandwich on your device. Although HTC won't bring Android 4.0 to the trio, it's not to say they won't keep supporting them with updates. Should you have one of these tablets, you'll find your Honeycomb experience may get better with time. Upgrades are not the same thing as ongoing support. Devices not being upgraded to Android 4.0 will still get software improvements, security fixes, and technical support as needed. - HTC Source: HTC Source HTC will not update tablet line to Android 4.0 originally appeared on AndroidGuys.

| New Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 build features faster processor and S-Pen holster slot Posted: 23 May 2012 07:27 AM PDT
For those that had their eye on the new Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet that Samsung announced a bit ago, here's some news to bring some more appeal. When the device was first brought to light, there was a bit of confusion as to why Samsung was releasing two nearly identical tablets with the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. The answer seems to be that the situation was a temporary one, with new spec information upgrading the Galaxy Note 10.1 to a quad-core processor and leaving the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as a more value-centric device. Some more happy news (and some that was to be expected) is that Samsung has also incorporated a built-in holster for the S-Pen in the revamped housing of the Note tablet. While it was announced that integration with the specialized stylus would be a feature of the Galaxy Note 10.1, a dedicated place to stick the S-Pen when not in use is always a plus. That thing can't be cheap to replace if you lose it, after all. With the announcement of these features, are there those of you that are deadset on getting the Galaxy Note 10.1? Let us know in the comments below! Those looking at other options chime in as well, and let us know what's making your decision.

| Sony: All tablets, all regions to see Android 4.0 by end of May Posted: 21 May 2012 09:27 AM PDT
Sony has confirmed that all versions of their tablet line will see Android 4.0 updates before the month is finished. Speaking with CNET recently, and confirmed via Twitter, Sony advised that all Sony Tablet S and Tablet P devices will have Ice Cream Sandwich by May 31, regardless of market or region. While the company might only offer two models at this time, it's a good sign that the company wants to stay relevant. Early Sony efforts such as the Xperia X10 were great pieces of hardware however they were left in the dust as they struggled to push out timely updates. Among the features that come with the Android 4.0 update are panoramic camera mode, browser enhancements, and an updated gallery viewer with SD card access.
