Sony is in the process of rolling out a couple of new over-the-air (OTA) updates for its flagship Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra handsets. Although neither bring the latest version of Android, 4.3 Jelly Bean, they are still quite significant maintenance updates that we would advise all users to download and install.
Sony has today launched the Xperia Z1, the Xperia Z Ultra, and the SmartWatch 2 in the United States as it looks to step up its pursuit of Samsung. All three devices can be purchased directly from Sony’s online store, from select Sony retail stores throughout the U.S., and from some third-party electronics retailers.
LG has today announced that its new G Pad 8.3 tablet is coming the U.K. and Ireland before Christmas. The device will be available for around £260 ($414), which makes it just £60 more expensive than Google’s new 16GB Nexus 7. That’s not bad when you consider the G Pad 8.3 has a bigger display, a bigger battery, and a faster processor.
Still waiting for BBM to come to Android and iOS? Aren’t we all.

But according to chief marketing officer Frank Boulben, we could see BBM in the App Store and Google Play before the end of the week.
