Never one to stay behind the curve as far as technology is concerned, China is all set to receive their own taste of Ice Cream Sandwich with thanks to this mysterious tablet running Android 4.0.1. The 10-inch tab — which is apparently a Xoom knockoff (I don’t see it) — runs Android 4.0 surprisingly well, [...]
We’re getting closer and closer to getting our hands on the long awaited HTC Raider, once known by its former code name, the Holiday.

What’s that? Ice Cream flavored Nyan Cat isn’t nearly enough geeky madness for you? You crave more functionally useless but smile-inducing hidden gems in Ice Cream Sandwich? Then feast your eyes on “Rocket Launcher”, a Star Trek-style starfield full of flying app icons that lives just below the updated ICS launcher. Between an obscure Internet [...]
Google’s source code for Android 4.0.1 (Ice Cream Sandwich) has now been released for x86 processors, Intel and AMD alike. It seems there are currently some very obvious compatibility bugs that don’t play nicely with Intel chipsets. Sound, ethernet, hardware acceleration, and camera capabilities are currently incompatible. However, developers coding for AMD processors will find [...]
You know the wave of Froyo and Gingerbread tablets that have been coming out of China for the last couple of years? You know the complete lack of Honeycomb tablets in the interim since the Motorola XOOM launched? That’s because Honeycomb hadn’t been open-sourced, so non-Google-sanctioned tablet makers had to make do with earlier versions. [...]

Good news for those of you waiting for an OTA update for the Galaxy Nexus that would fix the volume rocker bug. Multiple owners of the Nexus have reported that they have received said update. This does push the build from ITl41D to ITL41F. This does not, however, bring Ice Cream Sandwich to 4.0.2 and [...]
Well, thanks to the folks over at the Android Forums, Ytram was able to extract a few press shots of the up and coming, long overdue Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. And much to our disappointment, the device is branded like a cow getting its first stamp of approval. It’s obvious Verizon must have some serious [...]
It wasn’t bad enough to have apps like CarrierIQ pre-installed on our devices which record our every swipe and now this.

The change log for the Motorola Xoom 4G LTE update that we first heard about yesterday is now up. As expected, this is not an update to Ice Cream Sandwich.

Built using Unreal Engine 3, Da Vinci THD is the first full game to appear for Tegra 3 devices, and seems to be packing some serious online FPS gameplay. The game is set during the Renaissance, just after Da Vinci’s death, when "heroes of [the] Renaissance" begin battling to capture a mysterious machine created by [...]
We kid, we kid. DaVinci THD gets points for originality, at least the Tegra 3-enabled first person shooter takes place in the Renaissance era. And since guns were just a little more than small cannons back then, it takes a few liberties when it comes to weapons, not to mention environments and costumes. You can [...]
If you thought (more or less hoping) Clearwire — Sprint’s current 4G WiMax provider — would just go away already it seems their demise may be put off a little bit longer.

Dozens of supported devices are getting early alpha [...]

Remember the update for Verizon’s Motorola Xoom we reported about yesterday? It is now rolling out to Big Red customers in the form of an Over-The-Air update.
