One of the largest complaints about the Motorola DROID RAZR on Verizon is that of battery life. LTE sucks the life out of any battery, and the fact that Motorola chose to design the RAZR with an irremovable 1780 mAh, wasn’t a very smart idea. Realizing the errors of their ways, Motorola has announced a beefier DROID RAZR MAXX, this time with a larger (still irremovable) battery said to last 21 hours on a single charge. Of course the need to manufacture a completely new model could have easily been avoided had they made the battery removable.


This will probably be the best news to come out of CES for ASUS Transformer Prime owners. During the NVIDIA CES event, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced that Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) would be made available tonight, and is in fact rolling out now. I’m sure you’ll all be up checking your device for the rest of the night so I won’t bother you and your precious anymore than I have to. Cheers!

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — It doesn’t yet have a name (Asus Eee Pad MeMO ME370T) but it does have a price point. Asus just announced a 7-inch tablet based on NVidia’s quad-core Tegra 3 chip and running Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich.

That’s an Android Fire price point but a boatload more horsepower. The Tegra 3 already runs Asus’s Transformer Prime tablet/PC, which is getting good reviews for performance.

Asus also announced an Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Transformer Prime, claiming it’s the first tablet to run the latest version of Google’s OS.


Sprint has announced the first of many LTE smartphone offerings to compliment their new 4G LTE network. The first to make its debut, is none other than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. We can’t say we didn’t see this one coming, especially after its accidental leak in an online ad. They didn’t release a full on spec list of the Sprint Galaxy Nexus but it does appear to be a smaller 16GB model and will include Google Wallet (something Verizon felt the need to leave out). Along with the Galaxy Nexus tease comes the announcement of another LTE smartphone for Sprint, the LG Viper.


In a surprise turn of events, ASUS announced a newer Transformer Prime model, the TFT700T. This newer model seems to have numerous identical specs as its original, with the only discernible difference being the new back panel design (to help with GPS issues). There’s also the newer 1920 x 1200 Super IPS+ display and better front facing camera (2MP), but other than that, it’s the Transformer Prime TF201. I’m not entirely sure why the found the need to release such an “upgrade” so soon, and I’m sure this will make many TF201 owners quite unhappy, but I guess we can’t complain about having more choices — can we? Along with the surprising news of a newer Transformer Prime model, we finally get some more information on the ASUS Eee Pad MeMO.
