If you happen to be a father, like myself, then Google’s first Nexus 7 commercial will surely hit home. It’s a perfect blend of nature, technology, and the undying bond between a father and son. I, myself, do a lot of backyard camping with my kids, and while some people will argue this isn’t “real camping,” it’s more about the time I get to spend with my kids than it is about anything else. They have a blast and we use our Android devices to enhance the experience, not sabotage it.

The Galaxy Nexus was a breakthrough device for Google. Not only did it bring us Ice Cream Sandwich, but it started the movement to unify the look and feel of Android across multiple devices. Its Holo theme, on-screen software buttons, and multi-carrier release brought life back into the Nexus brand. Now the carrier who first brought the U.S. the Galaxy Nexus, and most likely screwed up any possibility of ever getting a Nexus device again, has dropped the online price to just under $100.

Many stylus obsessed users are sitting at home eagerly awaiting a 10-inch Galaxy Note to write on. And while Samsung seems to be pretty hush-hush about a release date for the Galaxy Note 10.1, modeling agency Step Management has no problem showing it in action. It certainly looks like a sexy device, and perfect for those who prefer the larger screen — so how about a release date Sammy?

Shin Jong-kyun, the president of Samsung’s information technology and mobile communication division, was proud to announce that the Galaxy S III has surpassed 10 million devices sold (globally) in just under two months. Samsung not only created an amazing device, but made a wise decision to not only launch the device globally, but to make it available on all major carriers.
