Verizon has posted up the changelog for an upcoming Motorola DROID RAZR/RAZR MAXX update that should begin rolling out soon. Generally speaking, these updates go out about a week after the changelog goes up so it shouldn’t be too long. Unfortunately this isn’t the Ice Cream Sandwich update everyone has been waiting for. Instead, it features:

Samsung released a new video on their YouTube channel last night, highlighting all the new features included in the upcoming Premium Suite update for the Galaxy Note. While they just about showed off everything from S-Pen features to Ice Cream Sandwich, they managed to remain vague about a release date by sticking with the old “Available on Q2 2012” comment. However, the fact that they have released this video onto their YouTube channel is a good indication that the update may not be that far off

Boeing has announced plans to manufacture secure Android devices for U.S. government defense and security markets and you can bet your tax paying dollars these handsets will put carrier pricing to shame. Roger Krone, president of Boeing Network and Space Systems, was quoted as saying that Beoing was aiming to launch the device in late 2012, at a lower price than competitors who sell secure phones for as much as $20,000. Yep, you read that right, our government is paying upwards of $20,000 for a secure phone (talk about an expensive incognito mode).

It looks like we only have one more month before the world’s first Intel-powered smartphone is launched and we’ll finally get to see just how well the Medfield processor performs. Sean Maloney, chairman of Intel China, announced that the Lenovo K800 will be launching next month, and although he didn’t give us any specific dates, he did reveal the inclusion of Intel’s “Avatar” technology (nothing to do with James Cameron).

While the majority of app markets have already adopted this digital scheme, Amazon has just today announced the open availability of their in-app purchasing API. The in-app purchasing API will allow developers to offer digital content to its users in the form of microstransactions. Content such as expansion packs, weapon upgrades, etc. become available to purchase from within the app and usually cost less than a dollar. This monetization model has gained much traction as of late and while the majority of developers implement it in a morally acceptable manner, others simply try to nickel-and-dime users by making their apps virtually useless unless you pony up for the additional content.
