Laaaaaaaaaaadies and Gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night Fights, a new series of weekly deathmatches between two no-mercy brawlers who will fight to the death — or at least agree to disagree — about which is better: Apple or Google, iOS or Android?

After this week’s topic, someone’s going to be spitting teeth. Our question: What’s the better music-in-the-cloud service? Google Music or iTunes Match?

In one corner, we have the 900 pound gorilla, Cult of Mac; in the opposite corner, wearing the green trunks, we have the plucky upstart, Cult of Android!

Place your bets, gentlemen! This is going be a bloody one.

It’s only been 9 days since the last Transformer Prime update and ASUS is at it again. We’re not sure the specifics of this latest update but it appears to improve battery life. Most of their updates have been attempts to improve the Prime’s ongoing WiFi signal issues, but that doesn’t appear to be the case with this last update.

TouchType and their Android keyboard replacement SwiftKey just surpassed 5 million installs. TouchType gives better predictions and corrections to make typing faster and more intuitive. Today they are happy to announce an update to its core language data to make typing informal messages easier. Along with the update, TouchType will be celebrating their 5 million install milestone by offering SwiftKey for 25 percent off (this weekend only).

Well what do we have here? Could this be the next Motorola Atrix? This photo along with some rumored specs popped up on a few sites today and adds another quad-core smartphone into the pool of “we want now” devices. The photo shows a buttonless Motorola device that looks similar to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The lack of buttons would mean we are looking at an Android 4.0 device and if rumored specs are to believed, an incredibly powerful one.

Today Acer announced their plans for updating their Iconia Tab line to Android 4.0. Starting today, Ice Cream Sandwich will begin rolling out to the Acer Iconia Tab A200. Then update will roll out to users slowly and will be completed by the following week. This is pretty impressive considering the A200 launched less than a month ago. Acer also outlined their plans for updating the Iconia Tab A100 and A500.
