If you're anything like me (and if you also own a firesold HP Touchpad), you've no doubt been checking the various Android-related forums and Twitter accounts at least three times a day for news of Cyanogenmod 9, the premier custom Ice Cream Sandwich Android ROM. You've been hoping that, before long, your Touchpad cup would runneth over with the sweet, ever so slightly dairy-based joy of an OS built for tablets, but unlike WebOS, with a robust app marketplace to go with it. Well, now it's here. Kind of.
For those of you hanging out for a local Kindle Fire launch, good news - by the time it gets here, you'll probably be able to run a highly polished version of Android 4.0 on it instead. How do we know this? Because someone has already gotten a relatively stable install to go already.
Given that the source code to the latest version of Android is already out there in the wild, we really shouldn't be surprised to see the emergence of videos demonstrating the new OS running on a bunch of different devices. Still, we can't help but admire the best Google can offer running on tablets, mobiles -heck, even the old G1.
At an event in New York City, Motorola just unveiled their newest, fastest, thinnest phone, with a name you might remember fondly, or not so fondly: the Droid Razr (or as it'll be known here in Australia, simply the Motorola Razr). It'll be the thinnest phone in the world, with a huge battery and waterproof coating and all kinds of other goodies that'll probably make it seem so tough you'll forget about its extreme thinness.
