Google has been teasing its upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat release on Google+, and it’s left us a rather obvious clue to the update’s release date. Prepare to be introduced to the new software — and possibly the first device that will run it (the Nexus 5) — before the end of the week.

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.

The popular U.K. based independent retailer Argos has officially launched its first budget-friendly Android powered tablet. Entitled “MyTablet,” the 7-inch slate will be available to purchase in stores starting today, October 16, priced at just £99.99.

Google has today published two new adverts for its new Nexus 7, two months after the original made its YouTube debut. Both clips showcase the tablet’s ability to be a great tool for students — but in unique ways you may not have thought of before.

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.
