Asus Eee Pad Transformer To Get Ice Cream Sandwich

Even if Asus has already released the follow-up, called Transformer Prime, and is upgradeable to Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) and sporting a quad-core CPU, the dual-core Eee PadTransformer still has impressive specs. And, to be frank, there’s not much you can use a quad-core CPU on a tablet (at the moment, at least). The good news is that the upgrade has stopped being a rumor. Asus North America was asked by a user on its Facebook page when the upgrade would be available....

Downloadsquad Com Shutting Down After Huffington Post Aol Merger

When it comes to tech blogs there are two sides. In one hand you have good blogs with useful content and great editorial. On the other side, you have blogs that just link to another site and change the headlines around; posting a sensationalist title that is designed only to bring in hits. DownloadSquad was the former, and it was a bright light among a jungle of spammy content farms....

Facebook Enter Verified Accounts

Just like Google Plus, Facebook does have a real name policy, meaning that, at least in theory, the name you must use on the site has to be your real name (it’s in the Terms of Service, under Registration and Account Security). The fact that the site doesn’t really do much to make sure that rule is obeyed by all of its users is another story. I totally understand it....

First Nokia Windows Phone 7 Devices Won T Be Game Changing

The first two models will be called W7 and W8, with W7 coming first to the market. Murtazin says he had the opportunity of a hands-on with the W7, seeing no important modifications in comparison to other Windows Phone 7 models. W7 would be based on the X7 hardware, while the W8 will supposedly use N8 as a base. Now, I really don’t know if this is all believable, but if it is, Nokia won’t be helping its case too much on the smartphone market without bringing something new to the table....
