With the iPhone 5 strongly rumoured to drop in either September or October, it seems as though Google has loaded up their cannons to return fire at Apple with their highly anticipated Android 4.0 update, dubbed “Ice Cream Sandwich.” First announced at Google I/O 2011, there is still a great deal of mystery surrounding the next version of Android, but thanks to reports from multiple sources, we have learned that it should be showing up on devices in October. We say devices, rather than phones, because Ice Cream Sandwich will not be a phone-exclusive platform; we’ll be seeing Ice Cream Sandwich on phones, tablets, computers. who knows where else.
Redmond Pie reported on a source who, according to them, has knowledge of Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich plans. The source states that the first device, which may be either a smart phone or a tablet, will be released in October (earlier than planned) to compete with Apple’s next-generation iPhone which is strongly expected to release either in September or October.
Here are some of the features we DO know about Ice Cream Sandwich:
USB Hosting
It is understood that Android 4.0 will bring about USB Hosting which will allow you to use practically any device with the tablet ranging from an Xbox controller for games to a keyboard/mouse for surfing and other things. You will also have the ability to integrate a USB device to work specifically with an app. So a heart monitor used with a fitness app, for example.
Tracks Your Face
Android 4.0 wil have the ability to track your face so instead of you trying to move around to get into the camera, the camera will auto-focus on to you instead. It will also be handy in video conferencing because the camera will move to you when you begin speaking and then move to whoever speaks so you don’t waste time trying to move your phone or tablet every time the you want to focus it on someone in particular.

The wait seems to be coming to an end. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, the smaller brother of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, was up for pre-order via the Amazon UK site listed at a price of £605.34. The listing shows that the tablet packs a 3G modem inside and has an in-stock date of August 12. This was last week however the pre-order option has since been removed.
With 8.9 inches, Samsung is clearly aiming for not just the right size, but the features to go with. This is something the company failed to do with the original Galaxy Tab. The device is 8.6 mm thin, 465 grams in weight, and has a 6,000 mAh battery that supports up to 10 hours of video playback, and a platform built specifically for tablets.

Given the current situation with everyone suing everyone else in relation to alleged patent infringements it’s perhaps of little surprise that a number of big companies are going on the acquisition trail in order that they may bolster their position.
However the news this afternoon that Google are about to acquire Motorola Mobility is something of a surprise.
You’ll find the full press release below.
The HP Pre 3 has been keeping a low profile since its announcement in which seems a lifetime ago. It is however clearly coming to the Orange network as a help and support page has cropped up on the Orange Website.
I’m not totally sure what HP are playing at to be honest. The Pre 3 was first announced back in February and we are still waiting for it. Sure, in the meantime HP released the Veer, which in my opinion is too small for a normal person to use. We then had the TouchPad which seems better but we want the flagship phone soon please HP.
No dates are confirmed when the device will hit the Orange stores but we will be sure to let you know when it does.

UNICEF is urgently appealing for emergency assistance for the millions of children affected by the drought and food crisis across the Horn of Africa. The situation in the region is worsening by the day, with drought, famine and rising food prices affecting more than 12 million people. Children are most vulnerable, with UNICEF estimating that more than two million children in the Horn of Africa region are affected and a child is dying from starvation every six minutes in Southern Somalia, the worst hit area.
UNICEF is scaling up life-saving efforts by providing malnourished children with life-saving emergency food, access to safe water and sanitation, as well as preventing the spread of killer diseases including measles through vaccination campaigns.
UNICEF is the main provider of life-saving emergency food for children in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti but need more funds urgently to reach children in the worst affected regions as quickly as possible to prevent more children from dying.
Just £5 can help feed a child for an entire week.
Everything Everywhere, which runs the Orange and T-Mobile brands, and is UNICEF UK’s official disaster and emergency response partner, has launched a text donation appeal to encourage customers to help UNICEF save lives in East Africa.

Clove have let us know today that the first stock of the Motorola Fire is due to land late September and will be priced at £180 + VAT. At the moment they are only expecting the keyboard version of the FIRE to be available SIM-free and are unlikely to stock the touch screen only version, the XT531 Fire, but that doesn’t mean to say that it won’t be available via the mobile networks.
You can head over to the Clove website for more details. For the time being, here’s a look at its main features:
Looks pretty nice if you ask me.
