Verizon has an update ready for the DROID RAZR and it’s set to bring improved 3G/4G data connectivity among other things. The “soak test” has already begun, along with the support documentation being added to the Verizon site. While there’s no official ETA at the moment, the document shown above let’s us know what users can expect to be included in the update:

Earlier this month, Orbotix apologized for dropped the ball (all puns intended) on their shipment deadline of pre-holiday arrival. They blamed themselves entirely and promised to “ramp up” production. Thankfully they’ve gotten the ball moving and have rolled out their first batch of Spheros. We’re not entirely sure how many Spheros have gone out but some of you may have the opportunity to play with your balls right before for Christmas.

One of the most highly anticipated Android tablets of the year, the ASUS Transformer Prime, went up for pre-order on Amazon last month. Amazon quickly sold out and soon began canceling some customers’ orders. Eventually the ASUS Transformer Prime completely disappeared from Amazon’s site never to be seen or heard of again — that is, until today. Amazon has reopened pre-orders for all four variants of the ASUS Transformer Prime and to make amends with customers who were left in the dark, they are also offering 1-day free shipping along with a $10 credit (only some customers are reporting the credit).

There was a lot of commotion made when the Android community found out that Verizon had asked for Google Wallet be left out of their LTE Samsung Galaxy Nexus devices. They sited “security reasons,” but we all knew it most likely had to do with Verizon’s stake in ISIS — a direct competitor to Google Wallet. Whatever the case may be, there’s always one thing we can always count on, and that’s the Android community.
