Taiwanese phone makers HTC haven’t had much to talk about at IFA so far, but they have made one announcement. They’re introducing a new mid-level smartphone called the Desire X, which will be sporting Ice Cream Sandwich and a 4-inch display, which is significantly bigger than the Desire C it will likely replace. On top [...]
It looks like Sony is making big moves at this year’s IFA in Berlin, with the announcement of several new Ice Cream Sandwich powered devices, including three smartphones and a tablet. The smartphones are (super inventively) named the Xperia V, Xperia T and Xperia J, while the tablet is called the Xperia Tablet S. Good [...]
According to a tipster over at SamMobile, Samsung is readying a media player that will look remarkably like a Galaxy S III. They’ve received a picture of the rumored device, as well as a pretty comprehensive list of specs. The storage capacity is conspicuously missing from the spec sheet, however, which is a pretty important [...]
If you still have an Android device running the Android 2.x firmware generation then I feel for you. To help ease the pain however, you should check out Holo Launcher.
