Ice Cream Sandwich on Google Nexus S (ps – where’s Galaxy Nexus?)
For those coming off 2-year old contracts, mostly from the original Motorola Droid (November 2009), it's another hilariously frustrating (yet entertaining) episode in the will the Nexus ever launch mini-series.
Android App Deal – get SwiftKey X Keyboard for only 10 cents
I've been on the beta program for this one for a while, and liked it so much, that I bought multiple copies. I routinely use SK X and SK Tablet X on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 7 (original) and on my trusty Moto Droid (soon to be replaced by Nexus... maybe).

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Daily: 720p display in-depth, iPhone 4s compared
With Nexus, instead of a big-bang end-of-year announcement we have a possible game-wining touchdown gone awry. It's like the Immaculate Deception, Android edition--let's just fumble our way forward to success must be the thinking.
