After the honeymoon phase wears off, I suspect many Nexus pioneers will be pining for the quad-cores that'll appear right around the corner.

Android's UX design chief Matias Duarte weighs in on mobile OS guidelines, competition and the future in an interview on Wired.

All these heavyweights should receive consideration for those who passed the showcase that was the Galaxy Nexus. Ice Cream Sandwich has a high probability (95%+ I'd guess) of shipping stock with this next wave of Androids.

It's not glamorous. Batteries are functional bits we never really think about until... they unexpectedly run out; typically as we're just about to finish a clever Tweet involving Jeremy Clarkson, Paula Deen, and Anthony Bourdain.

One thing I can really appreciate about the Xyboard is the untainted Honeycomb experience. After Samsung's latest update, us tab users were left with crude cartoonish navigation icons; they look like they're designed for grade schoolers - "this - over here - is a house!"

"Differentiation means that you have a choice and the people who are making the phones, they're going to compete on their view of innovation, and they're going to try and convince you that theirs is better than somebody else."

Are quad-core Androids such as the HTC Edge and Samsung Galaxy S III worth waiting for? Or is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus still the smartphone of choice?

In absence of must-have Android kit out of CES I was again stuck: which smartphone would replace my OG Droid? Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Droid 4 or Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx?

Welcome Sony, so long Ericsson. Android could use some fresh, inspired designs. Known for their superb hardware, Sony is just what the doctor ordered. Ion features a category-leading (for Android) 12MP camera.

I'm starting to believe that Droid RAZR Maxx is the best Android on the market right now - though I lament that it means sacrificing the original's sublime thin design. Can't we have it all?!
