The NFL has announced that NBC’s broadcasts of wild card Saturday, the Pro Bowl and the Super Bowl will be available online as well as via Verizon’s NFL Mobile app. This will mark the first time said events were streamed through a mobile platform and it comes as no surprise that their partner Verizon gets the honor.

The burning question on the minds of most Android users is: “Will my device be getting upgraded to the latest OS?” Many users are still stuck on contracts, and considering a “new and improved” device comes out almost monthly, it would be financially irresponsible to keep buying these devices at full cost. Today Samsung has announced its international list of devices that are scheduled to receive the Ice Cream Sandwich update.

The only thing I look forward to more than a Nexus device itself, is the accompanying Ninja unboxing. Anyone who hasn’t seen a ninja unbox a device surely hasn’t lived.

One of the most highly anticipated Android tablets of the year, the ASUS Transformer Prime, went up for pre-order on Amazon last month. Amazon quickly sold out and soon began canceling some customers’ orders. Eventually the ASUS Transformer Prime completely disappeared from Amazon’s site never to be seen or heard of again — that is, until today. Amazon has reopened pre-orders for all four variants of the ASUS Transformer Prime and to make amends with customers who were left in the dark, they are also offering 1-day free shipping along with a $10 credit (only some customers are reporting the credit).
