So you’ve just picked up a brand new Nexus 7 (or perhaps you’ve had one for a bit) and you’re looking to learn more about it. Sure, you can Google information, check blogs such as Cult of Android, or simply fiddle around, but did you know there’s already a 100 page digital guide book loaded and ready to be read on your Nexus 7?

We can’t say HTC Rezound owners were too happy about sitting by and watching device after device updated to Ice Cream Sandwich, while they sat stuck on Gingerbread, but I can say: they’re much happier now. That’s right, Ice Cream Sandwich has finally begun rolling out to Rezound owners, and while it’s not the latest build, it’s still ICS.

Millions of Americans participate in one or more Fantasy Football leagues every year, and as technology moves forward, so does our ability to perfect our winning season. It seems like only yesterday I was given the ability to set my lineup via a mobile app, and to think now, my next draft may happen live, face-to-face, thanks to Google and the NFL.
