Great to hear that finally Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab are getting Android 4.0. After formerly getting a lump of coal in the tights of Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab users, the corporation is given that reconsidering the idea of not improving the gadgets to Android 4.0. The reason why you may ask? Well, based on the Verge, the firm will evaluate the “viability of the upgrading the two gadgets responding to solid customer demand”. Even though Google stated earlier that Google android 4.0 can hypothetically work with any 2.3 device, Straight talk Samsung once said there’s insufficient space on the Galaxy S and Tab’s RAM or ROM both for ICS and TouchWiz. That on your own started much debate and critique for Samsung since most really feel while TouchWiz is a superb UI skin, it shouldn’t be a cause not to update the most popular devices particularly because they are still popular globally. Furthermore, Samsung continues to be offered as saying it’ll “investigate approaches to try to allow it to be work”.

As a part of their try, Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab are getting Android 4.0. Hope, users of these two devices are going to enjoy this hot cake OS.

The cover on HTC HD7 with complete phone spec has blown out finally. Today, an O2 Germany tipster blew off the remaining doors. So what we learnt about this 4.3-inch Windows Phone 7 device is that, it is loaded with 1GHz processor, 8GB of storage and 5- megapixel camera. Additionally, the device is equipped with quad-band radio frequencies, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and detailed internal memory with an array of sensors.

The phone hyped as “Dolby Mobile Sound” is the first of its kind in the Phone market, and we hope it’s not just a marketing buzzword. Our tipster tells us it’ll launch in Germany by mid-October at $770. Alternatively, HTC fans can avail the phone at $109 on a two-year contract. Isn’t that tempting?
