Good news for our brothers to the North. Samsung Mobile Canada sent out a tweet today, announcing the availability of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Rogers and Telus. According to the less than 180 characters announcement, both Rogers and Telus will be carrying the Galaxy Nexus starting January 13th. That’s just one week away, and I’m sure one week too long for many.


How do you make Corning Gorilla Glass Stronger? Not sure, but we’re going to see how next week at CES. Corning has announced its plans to unveil its Gorilla Glass 2 product, which I’m now calling King Kong Glass. Corning hasn’t given any specifics (saving those for CES) about what is new in this glass sequel, but I’m sure it’s going to be good.

AT&T has announced that it has flipped the switch on 11 new markets, bringing the total number of markets now enjoying 4G LTE to 26. While they have a lot of legwork to catch up to Verizon’s 119 cities covered, it’s still great news for current AT&T customers using, or considering buying, a 4G LTE device. So exactly which 11 cities are we seeing the newfound speeds in?


Acer has announced its plans to launch the Iconia Tab A200, their next 10″ tab offering, into the market on January 15th. The A200 is a Tegra 2 packing tablet with mid range specs but is set to be an early adopter of Ice Cream Sandwich, with a mid-February update in tow. Acer has also priced the A200 to be competitive unlike most tablet manufacturers, and with a $329.99 price, Ice Cream Sandwich, and the following specs, it’s a definite looker:
