Okay, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say we’ll definitely see a Google Nexus tablet announced at I/O. I’m not basing this on the countless months of rumors or he said, she said, but on this next piece of hard evidence: ceiling tiles! That’s right, these ceiling tiles were captured at the famous building 44 by a device manufactured by ASUS and going by the name Google Nexus 7.

Apparently a few HTC One X owners have been experiencing fluctuating WiFi signals based on how they “hold the phone.” A familiar issue if you may recall the whole Apple Antennagate.

If you thought that Wirefly deal for the Sprint Galaxy S III was a good one, it appears both Amazon Wireless and Target Mobile are offering eligible AT&T customers the opportunity to upgrade to the Galaxy S III for $149.99!
