Before I start talking about my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and recovering well from what should have been a time of feasting and celebration. I for one, am deliberately cutting back on all things tasty, at least for the next couple of weeks! Now back to the topic at hand, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. As most of you have seen in my tweets, I have already rated it as the best Android that I have played with in 2011. Coupled with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich aka known as ICS on the web, it sets a blistering pace for all other Androids to follow.

Only hours ago did Samsung and Google jointly announce the release of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone which runs Google’s latest version of Android (version 4.0) also fondly codenamed “Ice Cream Sandwich”.

Here’s a video showing some of the enhancements included in the next major update (after Gingerbread) to the Android Mobile OS which will be Google Android 3.0 or otherwise codenamed “Honeycomb”. Honeycomb is being built especially with tablets in mind and has not been officially released yet. This seems to be the reason why many manufacturers held off releasing their tablets at CES 2011.

Only a couple of hours ago did LG Electronics give official news of its most uber device for 2010 – the LG Optimus 2x (aka LG Star). Yes on the outside it may look like many of its contemporaries but on the inside it boasts a world first in smartphone technology – it features a dual-core processor specially designed by video graphics giant NVIDIA!

Ever since attending the LG Blogger Conference in Seoul earlier this year, I’ve been eagerly waiting for LG devices to rollout considering how much effort they’ve put into consumer / smartphone research in recent years. Now it’s their turn to shine.

The LG Optimus 2X marks a major turning point in smartphone technology.

Android users rejoice! Skype is now available for Android!

I know if I was using an Android device (right now my choice would be the HTC Desire Z)  I’d be reading through this blog post as fast as possible then zipping over to download it. I use Skype everyday so it’s a mandatory app in my kit!

About time

You know what? I think Sony Ericsson are onto something sweet here with the release of their minuscule Sony Ericsson LiveView device which is a mini bluetooth display that mirrors functionality on your Android smartphone. I like how it comes with a wristband that allows you to insert the Sony Ericsson LiveView, thus transforming it into a multi-purpose watch. Ahhh…another reason for me to go back to Android again.

The just newly Australian-released Samsung Galaxy S has been awarded a coveted “Cnet Editor’s Choice”.  Although some of the negative feedback was directed at its iPhone-copycat design and plasticky feel, Cnet loved the stunning Super AMOLED display, support for DivX and FLAC and great overall online performance.

For me, the super AMOLED 4″ screen running on the Android OS is ultra appealing.

While I was discovering the HTC Desire for myself at Melbourne’s Telstra T-Life Store, I happened to meet a HTC representative. I won’t mention his name just in case.  As we discussed the HTC Desire, he also gave me some juicy tidbits that are sure to spark excitement with those restlessly waiting on the HTC Legend to land in Australia.
