N880E First ZTE Device To Receive Android 4.2 Update

Posted by admin in News on November 24, 2012

Chinese manufacturer ZTE has officially pushed its first Android 4.2 update– albeit to a device no one has really heard of outside of China at least. The lucky device receiving the update is the N880E, a mid-range device which was actually among the first devices to ship with not just Android 4.1, but a nearly stock build of Jelly Bean at that. So considering it runs on nearly a stock build of Android, ZTE probably didn’t need to do too much work in order to get the 4.2 update ready for the device. The update is rolling out as we speak, so most (if not all) owners should be getting a heavy dose of that Android 4.2 goodness before most other Android owners get a chance to enjoy it.

Yes— life is good for those of you who own the N880E smartphone. Hopefully it won’t be too long of a wait to see the same update for its other devices elsewhere in the world.

The online shopping giant is offering up Samsung’s 10″ slate for a discount of $50 across all models.

Readers might remember that we were none too impressed by the Note 10.1 at review time, but the slate definitely still has its audience. In case you’ve forgotten what the Note 10.1 has to offer, here’s a quick rundown of its specs.

Google TV Poised To Get Update With Voice Search, PrimeTime, New YouTube Experience

Posted by admin in News on November 14, 2012

Today, in a post to the Official Google TV Blog, Google announced officially the new functionality offered by the YouTube update we covered yesterday, along with a few other treats set to hit Google TV users starting with LG devices “this week.”

First among the enhancements is the addition of Voice Search, allowing users to “simply speak to watch anything.” Voice Search recognizes commands for opening apps, playing YouTube videos, visiting websites, and even finding channels or specific TV shows. For example, if you don’t remember what to punch in to get from the Golf Channel to CNN, you can just say “CNN,” and Google TV will do the work for you.

The Motorola XOOM And Nexus S Will Almost Definitely Not Receive Android 4.2

Posted by admin in News on November 13, 2012

With all the excitement of Nexus availability and the Android 4.2 source code being pushed into AOSP this morning, one little statement by Android developer JBQ regarding 4.2 device support in the AOSP announcement was easy to overlook.

-There is no support for 4.2 on Nexus S and Xoom. Those devices should continue using 4.1.2.

Yep, that (very, very likely – it’s intentionally vague) means exactly what you think it does: it’s the end of the road for software updates on the Nexus S and Motorola XOOM (and yes, that means all variants). At least, that’s what’s implied. When asked for comment, JBQ said no further information could be given about future updates for the Nexus S or XOOM, which is the standard response to such inquiries.

Huawei MediaPad 7 Lite Review: You Can Use It As A Hammer, Because It Isn’t Good For Much Else

Posted by admin in News on November 12, 2012

So, the MediaPad 7 Lite from Huawei. Maybe you’ve heard of it. Maybe you haven’t. What it is, though, is a “budget” – and I use that term loosely – tablet with a 7-inch form factor. Of course, automatic comparisons to the Nexus 7 are going to be drawn here, and without getting further into the review, I can tell you this: it’s not better. It’s not as good. In fact, it’s not even half the tablet that the Nexus 7 is, and I mean that both in terms of hardware specifications and in actual performance. If you’re looking for something more than the N7, keep looking – ’cause this ain’t it.

Sony Confirms 2012 Smartphones Will Receive Jelly Bean In 2013, 2011 Devices Are Stuck On ICS

Posted by admin in News on October 19, 2012

Straight from the horse’s mouth is always the best way to hear about updates, even if it’s less-than-stellar news. Today, Sony confirmed its schedule for Jelly Bean updates on its line of phones. For starters, the recently-launched Xperia T and Xperia TX will be upgraded “from mid-Q1 2013.” This will put the latest and greatest from Sony a solid six months behind Android 4.1′s initial launch and, if our guess is correct, at least a few months behind the possible release of Android 4.2.

After that, the rest of Sony’s 2012 lineup, including the Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J will all be upgraded to Jelly Bean sometime next year.

Orange San Diego Starting To Receive Long-Awaited Ice Cream Sandwich Update

Posted by admin in News on October 12, 2012

Those of you in the UK who went ahead and splurged on the Orange San Diego smartphone may want to listen up to this tidbit of news. It’s no secret that while the Intel-powered smartphone has a fast chip that resulted in a generally stellar performance, the phone was held back because of its software. So after seeing a few teases before, owners of the Orange San Diego can now scream utter joy. Yes– the smartphone was launched with none other than Gingerbread 2.3, which definitely caused more than a few individuals to scratch their heads or sigh disappointment. So Intel has finally made things right and reports are surfacing that the device has finally begun receiving the much-needed Android 4.0 update. Sure it’s not Jelly Bean, but we’re sure owners of the smartphone will be happy. I’m sure they can attest to the fact that anything is better than Gingerbread.
