Samsung continues with their ad campaign of portraying the competition as feeble cattle being led to slaughter. I’m starting to think they’re over-hyping this a bit, but considering they purchased a multi-million dollar 90 second spot during the Super Bowl, I’d say they can do pretty much anything they want (wish I had that kind of cash to blow).


It’s really a shame that it took this long for the Samsung Infuse 4G to get an update to Gingerbread. At this point, I’m not sure whether customers will feel relieved, or like they’re the brunt of a cruel joke. No one likes to get updated to a year old software version when a newer one is already out and this has been the thorn in Samsung’s side for quite some time. To make matters worse, AT&T is making users download the latest version of Samsung’s Kies Mini to sideload (which is ironic, since AT&T was once against side-loading) Android 2.3.6 onto their device rather than push the update out OTA. Well, at least Gingerbread is now available, and here’s what you’ll get with the update:


A recent Match.com survey of Canadian smartphone users has revealed some interesting patterns surrounding one’s love life in regards to the mobile operating system they use. Cell phones have become a huge part in how we communicate and build relationships, whether through talking, email, or texting. 75 percent of Canadian singles seem to agree with that, and here’s what Match.com found out about their relationship habits and what mobile OS they happen to use:


According to a tweet sent out by the Google TV Team, Sony is expected to be releasing an update to its Google TV devices (blu-ray player). Well, it appears the update is already rolling out, as Kellen from Droid-Life has reported about it showing up on his Sony Blu-ray when he fired it up tonight (that’s his photo above).


HTC’s thinnest smartphone just caught some quality blurry cam time thanks to HTC Hub. I believe it’s the first time we’re seeing Ice Cream Sandwich get “Sensed” and it just reminds me of why I prefer pure Android devices. Although I haven’t had any hands-on time with the device, I can tell you aesthetically, stock Ice Cream Sandwich looks so much sexier. The Sense UI on the Ville just looks outdated and like some kind of Gingerbread Mod. It’s definitely not my cup of tea, but if you’re liking what the Ville is showing, you may also be interested in what specs it’s featuring.
