So finally ICS update for Samsung SII arrived for Indian users. Both the Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II (based on the home-brewed Exynos SoC) and the Samsung 9100G Galaxy S II (running atop a TI OMAP 4430 SoC) are now getting notifications to apply the Ice Cream Sandwich update. The update can be applied over the air, but it's a large file download so you better use a Wi-Fi network for the purpose. Alternately, you can hook up your smartphone to Kies and download the update using your computer's internet connection.So Enjoy SII users...

However, the latest list put up on the Sony Mobile website does not mention the Xperia PLAY anywhere. Instead we can only see the following handsets. * The following phones will receive the update Xperia™ arc Xperia™ arc S Xperia™ neo and neo V Xperia™ mini and mini pro Xperia™ pro Xperia™ active Xperia™ ray Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™

Nokia's 808 PureView may not be the last high-spec camera phone in stores just yet, but that doesn't mean those Finnish cameraphone obsessives aren't already cooking up a buffet of high-megapixel ideas for the future. Vesa Jutila, Head of Product Marketing for the incoming 808 PureView, told that there was plenty more high-spec digital imaging products in the pipeline. While he wasn't about to be drawn on specifics for any future Lumia-Pureview unions just yet, there were "multiple ways" that Nokia could run with its new imaging jewel. Slimmer models are a possibility, still containing high-end Zeiss optics and Nokia's oversampling techniques avoiding the need for optical zoom. He added that the next generation of Nokia camera sensors are already being worked on.Jutila included one more soupçon of information: future PureView products "would not necessarily have the same 41-megapixel sensor" that we've been playing with recently

Nokia announced that it is dropping support for the Skype app for Windows Phone on their recently announced Lumia 610. The reason for this, according to Nokia is given below... “Nokia values the user experience provided by its products and services. Therefore, although the Skype Windows Phone version is workable on Nokia Lumia 610, after in-depth testing, we found that the user experience is not up to par with Nokia and Skype’s expectation and decided not recommending users using Skype on Nokia Lumia 610. In the future, users of Nokia Lumia 610 would no longer be able to download Skype Windows Phone version from Window Phone Marketplace. However, Skype Windows Phone version would still be available for other users.” The reason might be due to weaker hardware on Lumia 610 .  This might also rise issues with other apps performance on this phone...

Vertu is introducing some fresh new colors to liven up the established line-up. The collection comprises of three colors, all combined under the Candy moniker. There's the Candy Raspberry, the Candy Mint Green, and finally, the Candy Tangerine. The phones came complete with a full touch display and a smart OS... Symbian...unfortunately.

The phones come with 3.5-inch AMOLED screen, the 32GB of built-in storage, the 8 megapixel fixed focus camera with enhanced depth of field and the 720p video recording.

Samsung seems to be getting into the Olympic party .relationship with David Beckham, the company's official representative of the Games. Samsung has released a new commercial featuring the LA Galaxy star(David Bekham) and also the company's official representative of the Games, talking on the Note before kicking out a rendition of Ode to Joy with some drums and a soccer ball. In keeping with many of Samsung's promotional ventures, the Galaxy Note itself doesn't feature very heavily in the commercial, but it could be a canny move nonetheless. Beckham has made unlikely fashion hits out of fauxhawks and sarongs in the past, so there may be no better icon to convince the masses that it's okay to speak on a gargantuan phone in public.

What's the goodness in exercise if you don’t get rewarded for doing it? It was with this in mind that Nike launched another fitness product ... the Nike+ FuelBand . It’s a wristband, like the Jawbone Up , but it works reliably. It registers steps like the FitBit Ultra , but it syncs to a smartphone wirelessly.
