| Hulu Plus optimized for smattering of Android tablets Posted: 29 Mar 2012 12:57 PM PDT Hulu today announced that they have optimized their HuluPlus Android application for a limited number of tablets. Joining the HTC Flyer and Vizio 8" tablet are a handful of offerings from Motorola, Toshiba, LG, Asus, and Acer. The updated and optimized app includes a new-look user interface that Hulu refers to as "trays". After just a few moments with the app we found it to be intuitive and easy to learn. Strangely enough we found that our Motorola Xoom was not listed as supported however the ZTE Optik worked just fine. Of course we were advised that it was not supported the moment we opened it up. Nevertheless it was showing up in Google Play Store and worked for us in the end.
Download Hulu Plus for your Android tablet from the Google Play Store. The app itself is free however there's a monthly recurring $7.99 charge for membership.

| Android reportedly earned Google $540M over four years Posted: 29 Mar 2012 12:25 PM PDT Google has generated roughly $543 million in revenue from 2008 though 2011, according to reports and estimates. The numbers come from Charles Arthur of the Guardian who based his figures by analyzing a settlement that Google offered to Oracle. While this might sound like a ridiculous amount of money on the surface it's merely a fraction of what Google earns on an annual basis. The half billion figure is unofficial and isn't broken down by year so it's hard to chart growth in revenue. If you start out with $32M in 2008 and double the number each year you would still only arrive at $480 million. While the number itself might not represent anything significant at this point, the idea of doubling revenue every year certainly sounds good to us.

| Droid Bionic 2 spotted in Asurion enrollment form Posted: 29 Mar 2012 12:04 PM PDT
Of course, there is always the Droid Bionic that was released without a 16GB MicroSD card, which could be the device Asurion is pointing to. If that's not the case, then we'll most likely see some more leaks in the near future. In the case of a Bionic 2, we're not getting our hopes up for a launch anytime before November, based on the history of the original. So is anyone else haunted by memories of the Bionic's delays with this latest news? Think Motorola should move on to bigger and better things? Sound off in the comments!

| T-Mobile making noise around Android 4.0 updates for Sensation 4G, Amaze 4G Posted: 29 Mar 2012 10:39 AM PDT T-Mobile has announced, albeit unofficially, that their HTC Amaze 4G and HTC Sensation 4G will be soon seeing Android 4.0 updates. The news comes by way of T-Mobile support pages for each device and stops short of giving us expected dates for rollout. HTC has already committed to an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for both handsets so this would not be considered news in and of itself. The takeaway here is that T-Mobile appears to be readying things on their side and could be ready to pull the trigger. As of right now, there have been a very low number of smartphones updated to Android 4.0 so we're fully expecting a floodgate over the next few weeks and months.

| T-Mobile to release HTC One S on April 22, rumors suggest Posted: 29 Mar 2012 08:40 AM PDT It's no secret that T-Mobile will be offering a version of the HTC One S as the carrier has already officially committed to it. What is a secret, however, is when we'll actually see the smartphone arrive at retail stores around the country. According to a newly leaked screen shot, T-Mobile will be making their HTC One S available less than a month from now on Aprill 22. The source of the leak, TmoNews has a very solid track record when it comes to this sort of thing so we're going to assume this one is legit. As such, we might expect T-Mobile to make an announcement of date and price in the next couple of weeks. T-Mobile to release HTC One S on April 22, rumors suggest originally appeared on AndroidGuys.

| Google deploys Android 4.0.4 to select devices Posted: 29 Mar 2012 07:33 AM PDT Google announced late yesterday that they have begun deploying a new version of Android to a handful of smartphones and tablets. According to a post on the Google+ account for the Android team, Ice Cream Sandwich is rolling out to UMTS/GSM Nexus S, Xoom Wi-Fi, and HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus devices. To be a little clearer, this is not the Verizon model of the Galaxy Nexus nor is it the 4G LTE-capable Xoom. Nor is it the Sprint Nexus S 4G.
It's difficult to say for certain as to when some of these other devices see their Android 4.0 updates but the hardcore users seem to be growing restless. As for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, new rumors are now suggesting that it will actually see a 4.0.5 update in early April.

| Sprint to debut EVO One at NY Event on April 4? Posted: 29 Mar 2012 06:53 AM PDT Details surfaced late yesterday which indicate that Sprint will debut their version of the HTC One X in the form of an EVO successor. Pretty much confirming our suspicions all along, the handset announcement for April 4 will be flagship for each player involved. As to what the features and details will be remains to be seen, however some early specs have arrived online. If true, we can expect to see a great battery life, plenty of storage, and a beautiful, large display. Oh, and the kickstand is allegedly set to return. Keep in mind that all of this is rumored and unofficial, and actually varies a bit from what HTC is doing with other One models. Nevertheless, the general takeaway here is that we should expect an EVO successor that draws from the HTC One design.
There are conflicting reports for these specifications, notably in the display size and technology. Some have indicated that we should look for a Super LCD whereas others are expecting AMOLED.
