The build-up to the Samsung Galaxy S3 release has shown all of us how crazy the rumor whirlwind can get. This has led me to treat all rumors and speculations with a healthy amount of caution and skepticism. There have been a lot of rumors about future Nexus devices, including the possibility of a low-cost but high-spec’ed Nexus tablet being in the works, in addition to the yearly flagship Nexus smartphone. Recently, there has been talk about Google planning to release up to five Nexus devices this year. Further adding to this speculation is a confirmation from a source that TalkAndroid …

With the upcoming release of the Samsung Galaxy S3, we have seen how rampant rumors and endless speculation can help whip everyone into an absolute frenetic frenzy – including us. While this is yet to die down, it seems we have already been caught in another rumor whirlwind, and this time, it’s all about Google’s upcoming Nexus Tablet. Google announced last December that they would be working towards releasing a Nexus Tablet to be released in less than six months. With this six month self-imposed deadline quickly approaching, rumors and speculation about this device has also been growing exponentially. Here …

This, in turn, has led many to speculate that it will be dual-bootable with Windows 8. Today, we have learned something else about Android …

“Will Ice Cream Sandwich require phones with more processing power now that the complex holographic UI is confirmed to be making its way to phones?” This was the thought-provoking question during the Android Q&A session at Google I/O that Andy Rubin was made to answer.

by Glenn Santos on May 11, 2011 4 Comments">4
While I’m happy for the attendees of the Google I/O Conference who will each be receiving a new limited-edition white Galaxy Tab 10.1, I can’t help but be sad that I can’t get one. That’s 5,000 tablets all in all for every lucky attendee and was the announcement that received the most applause. Google has been very generous to attendees of its conferences with giveaways. The search company has previously given away Nexus Ones, HTC EVOs, Chrome OS-packed CR-48s and Motorola Xooms. While this Tab certainly doesn’t boast anything different versus the upcoming regular black one, it’s still a nice …

At the Google I/O event in San Francisco yesterday, Google demonstrated some of the upcoming features of Android 2.0, also known as Donut. First up was a very Palm Pre/webOS like combined search function that searches the phone and the internet at the same time, as a user types in a search string.

As I am sure some of you will be aware, Google provided a little surprise at their I/O conference this year. All 4000+ attendees got a box with not only a link to where they can download the latest software development kit for Android, but also the latest documentation too! Not bad hey? Especially when you throw in the fact every box also has a limited edition HTC Magic (called the Google Ion) thrown in that cannot be purchased anywhere else. Eat your heart out Apple. It’s at times like this that I really wish I could have gone to …
