Google releases Galaxy Nexus stock image for easy reinstall


Google has released a factory image for its pure-blood Galaxy Nexus GSM/HSDPA+ device and made it available to anyone.


The image can be used to easily recover the stock Ice Cream Sandwich software on the Galaxy Nexus in case of a manipulation gone wrong. This should come in handy to both experienced modders and newbies alike. If something goes wrong while flashing a custom rom, for example, you can revert your Galaxy Nexus to stock ICS in no time.
You'll need to set the device in fastboot mode before using the factory image. Google advises to lock your bootloader after restoring to secure the Galaxy Nexus. Hit the source link below for the bootloader, baseband and the rest of the system.

Motorola DROID RAZR MAX to come with a bigger battery?


So, what is the Motorola DROID RAZR MAX? The first confirmation about this mysterious device comes from a user who was told by a Verizon Store employee that a new Motorola DROID RAZR MAX is coming soon. It is supposed to be thicker, with a beefier battery and hence, longer battery life.
Then the name Motorola DROID RAZR MAX has come up again in some EXIF data.

The EXIF data
That’s twice we hear the RAZR MAX moniker, so we guess there is a chance it might turn out a real device. Or the RAZR MAX might be a codename for one of the recently leaked (the XT928 has already gone official) China-bound RAZR versions. We guess we’ll know in a couple of weeks.

Android distribution in November: Gingebread gets a 50% share


Google updated the Android versions distribution charts and confirmed that the second Gingerbread release (covering versions 2.3.3-2.3.7) extended its lead at the top. Over half of all droids are now running on Gingerbread.
Back in second place, Android 2.2 Froyo continues to lose ground as most of the handsets that used to run it are getting Gingerbread updates. Still, Froyo retains a 35.3% market share, and it will take quite some time before it's completely gone.
Just look at the long outdated Android 1.5 Cupcake, 1.6 Donut and 2.1 Eclair releases. Those account for 0.8%, 1.3% and 9.6% of all droids, respectively, which means that one out of ten Android smartphones is running software that's over two years old (which is like a century in smartphone terms).
The fact that the trio fails to get off the map as quickly as expected is probably partially attributed by the evening out Android growth - the share of devices left with no support and future updates is harder to be disposed of than the software itself.
Finally, the trio of Android Honeycomb distributions continues to make baby steps forward. Android slates now account for 2.4% of all droid devices. We shouldn't expect that share to grow much further though - with Ice Cream Sandwich just around the corner Honeycomb might become the Android version with the shortest lifetime ever.

Nokia C3-01 Touch And Type



Nokia C3-01 Touch And Type features a 5-Megapixel camera. This may sound small in relation to the latest smartphones – such as the 12-Megapixel Nokia N8 – but 5 million pixels is more than enough to reproduce stunningly detailed photographs.

Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type’s camera is via a slimline shutter on the side of the device. You can also take photographs by tapping the screen – as with devices like the Nokia N8 – but the small 2.4-inch screen on the Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type makes this the impractical option.

Nokia C3-01′s touchscreen really comes into its own. Using resistive technology, there’s no need to remove your gloves before you’ll be able to flick through menus. That said, menus do look a little cramped – so you’ll have to scroll down when looking through the options.
