The awesome HTC Sensation range are about to get even better, rumours and news from the HTC camp are that the Sensation, XE and XL are getting ICS, Android 4.0 by early March.
No news on which carriers will see this first but as usual I would expect those lucky enough to have unlocked units would see the first serving followed by locked units to each respective carrier.
Other handsets are soon to follow on from this but this is the first official notification on certain models. The update coincides with the launch of the carrier available locked Sensation in White.

We showed you the unboxing video of Three’s new Web Cube HSPA+ device yesterday so I thought I had better show you it in action.
As you will see, not only is the Cube easy to use but it has some super cool blue lights, hence why I recorded the video in the dark.
The Web Cube can support up to five devices connected at any one time. It is not only a great back up gadget but also a alternative to having home broadband.
You can view the video below where I demo the Web Cube connected with my BlackBerry PlayBook and as you will see the Cube does a fine job.
Nice one Three.
Enjoy a fully connected gaming experience with the new PlayStation Vita – available with 3G connectivity exclusively with Vodafone.
The PlayStation Vita 3G will be coming to Vodafone stores for £279. This includes a free 4GB memory card, a PAYG SIM card which when topped up with £5 will get you a free downloadable game – WipEout 2048 and 250 MB of data lasting up to 30 days with full Vodafone 3G connectivity.
The PlayStation Vita 3G will also be available at other high street and online retailers with the option to top up £5 and get the WipEout 2048 game free of charge. Continue Reading »
Matt kindly joins in this week with James and Gareth. There is a host of Blackberry updates and James has a look at Three’s new Web Cube. Matt gets a little annoyed over some Vodafone issues and Gareth looks forward to a new tablet from Toshiba.
Google labs have been busy and have released a beta version of chrome for Android, that’s the good news, the bad news is that it’s only available for handsets running ICS/4.0 software and at the time or writing that’s limited to you lucky people with a Galaxy Nexus.
The first version is (apparently) “just like” the desktop version, browsing is a great user experience and runs very quickly, the latter being more to do with connection speed I would guess.
Another great feature is that anyone using Chrome Sync will also get their bookmarks synced on the android version too, how cool is that?
Standby if you have a high spec android running the latest version as updates are imminent, especially those handsets with fast processors. HTC have put a list of handsets up on their Facebook page that will receive ICS in Q1. Others will surely follow soon.

The Web Cube’s Wi-Fi signal is powered by 3G so it comes ready-to-go with a mobile broadband SIM card. It’s really easy to set up – just plug it in, turn it on and connect using the name and password supplied in the box. You don’t need a phone line to get going, as long as it’s plugged into the mains and your SIM is inserted, our network will do the rest.
The Web Cube is HSPA+ enabled to the 21.1Mbps technical standard, to deliver typical download speeds of 2-5Mbps, comparable to those of entry-level fixed-line broadband solutions, with the potential to reach a maximum download speed in excess of 10Mbps. Up to five Wi-Fi enabled devices can be connected at any one time, including smartphones, laptops and tablets, and it has a range of up to 30 metres.
-
Fast, secure Wi-Fi broadband at home
-
No phone line needed
-
Plug in and get online instantly
-
HSPA+ technology for faster browsing
-
Connect up to five devices at any time
The Web Cube is currently being tested out in a few key cities across the UK so you can’t actually buy one yet, but I’m sure it wont be long.
Would I recommend it? Too flaming right I would!

At DevCon Europe, sessions have showcased how developers are already benefiting from BlackBerry® App World. Two billion apps have been downloaded to date and the momentum continues with 6 million downloads per day. In addition to serving an installed base of more than 75 million devices, the BlackBerry platform is also recognised as one of the most profitable for developers:
· BlackBerry users download more paid apps on average than Android users do (Yankee Group)
· BlackBerry apps generate 40% more revenue than Android apps (Vision Mobile)
· 13% of BlackBerry developers made $100,000+ from BlackBerry App World apps, considerably more than Android or Apple developers (Evans Data Corp)
To the people that keep saying RIM are finished I ask you to think again. The RIMPIRE STIKES BACK!
