If you were hoping to get a look at the Galaxy S II successor this month at MWC, grab yourself a Kleenex because it’s not going to happen. Samsung has confirmed that they will not be unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S III at MWC in Barcelona, but will instead be launching it at a separate Samsung event to be scheduled later this year. Some reports are saying we’ll see it before the summer, but at this point, who knows.
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:
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 The Sense UI on the Ville just looks outdated and like some kind of Gingerbread Mod.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.
It looks as if the ASUS Padfone will indeed debut at Mobile World Congress according to a report from Paul O’Brien of Modaco. It’s been in production for quite some time and continues to undergo changes before its final release. Many of you have been waiting for the phone that fits inside a tablet concept to hit the market and you may be surprised to find it looking a tad different than the last time you saw it.
