Over the weekend, the rumor mill was operating at full throttle, predicting everything we can expect to see at Google’s October 29th Android event in NYC. So what do they have planned for us? Well, here’s what seems to be the rumor consensus:
Two days ago we told you about Verizon’s plan to allow carrier billing for up to $25 worth of digital content a month from the Play Store. Today was the day it was supposed to go live and while it hasn’t, Google has taken to the Play Twitter account to confirm that it is indeed on the way.
If you were planning on picking up the new DROID RAZR HD from Verizon and also plan on paying full retail to keep your unlimited data plan, you might as well purchase the Developer Edition from Motorola. Motorola is now selling the Developer Edition of the RAZR HD on its website for $599.99. You get all the same spec minus a locked bootloader.
Last week we caught wind of a soak test going out to Bionic users and speculated that it had to be Ice Cream Sandwich. Well… it was and it’s been approved by Verizon. You’ll now find the support documents for the Ice Cream Sandwich update located on Verizon’s support page which means a release is right around the corner. It’s pretty safe to say Bionic users have written off Motorola at this point, but perhaps a little Ice Cream Sandwich will ease the pain until they become eligible for an upgrade.
Just a quick heads up for any of you looking to pick up the DROID RAZR HD or RAZR MAXX HD. Both devices are set to go on sale after midnight tonight. If you’re frantically refreshing Verizon’s website, I ask you to stop for a moment and consider an alternative — Wirefly.
