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. I guess these ceiling tiles have sealed the deal for me, and I’m 100% convinced by the EXIF evidence found on Picasa.

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. It appears to only affect the quad-core Tegra 3 versions of the HTC One X, but nevertheless, it is discouraging.

Hold on, let me get my shocked face ready — okay, here it goes: the Verizon DROID RAZR won’t be getting Android 4.0 today *gasp*!

Unfortunately, Verizon’s response was the usual “we do not have a date for ICS on the RAZR yet.”

“Would the owner of a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II please report to the Kies service desk at 11 p.m. EST,” “you have an Android 4.0.3 update waiting for you.”

That’s right, the T-Mobile Galaxy S II is set to receive Android 4.0.3 tonight, and although it isn’t Android 4.0.4, it’s still Ice Cream Sandwich, so I’m sure you Galaxy S II owners won’t be complaining — much.
