Another piece of the Andy Pad PR jigsaw has just fallen into place, with the company yielding to public pressure and issuing its first proper image of the device, free from clutter like price tags, starbursts and exclamation marks.
Here it/she is, in an image that weighs in at a pleasing 1417×945 resolution.
It’s a little bit more like actually having one.
£30? For a phone case? It had better be good.
Samsung’s official Galaxy Nexus case. Costs a lot. Has a glittery little logo.
Fresh from reviewing the cheap and cheerful FlexiShield case for the Galaxy Nexus, we’re back with another protective offering from industry veteran Case-Mate… Read the rest
Seeing as we’ve just reviewed the brand spanking new Galaxy Nexus, we’re in the mood for some accessorising – and we don’t mean earnings and handbags… Read the rest
Google’s third Nexus is bigger, once again made by Samsung and features the new Android 4.0 or “Ice Cream Sandwich” version of the OS. It’s obviously going to be good. But how good?
The HTC Sensation XL is an odd one by HTC. It updates the screen size of this year’s HTC Sensation to 4.7″ and includes Beats Audio enhancements, but you lose a bit of processor speed – the HTC Sensation XL is powered by a single-core 1.5GHz brain… Read the rest
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
To accompany our Xperia Neo review we’ve put together this collection of photos taken using Sony Ericsson’s latest Android phone, which features an 8megapixel Exmor R sensor… Read the rest
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

/ July 25, 2011I find it interesting the official PR shots are without Google Apps whereas their so-called ‘leaked’ pictures show GApps installed. It will be interesting to see whether it is blessed with the Android Market and Google services. I hope the device is of high enough quality to pass the Android compatibility tests. But even if it doesn’t, the Android community will create custom ROMs with the GApps included.

/ July 25, 2011I don’t think it will, Google have been trying to reign it in on tablets, they should be of a certain spec(usually dual core), screen size (usually 10″) & run Android 3.X.
It’s an attempt to stop the flood of poor spec’d tablets that every shop & their guard dog is now selling & damaging the Google brand. If they’re realistically going to compete with the ipad then they have to look & perform as good or better.
The only exception being the HTC flyer, which I think they only got away with the smaller screen due to past associations with Google, but pretty much after release it was announced to have an upgrade to 3.0.
Look at any other tablet of this size & spec, none have the Gapps.
The Galaxy Tab only got away with it because it cam out before 3.0. and now they pretend it’s just a big phone.

/ July 25, 2011It won’t have the market out of the box but there will be a way to add the market and other Google apps through the back door. MoDaCo will see to that!
