See that? That is CM9. And its running on a Transformer Prime. Just hours after the unlock came out. Clearly, you can tell there is not alot more that needs to be done. It is currently running the stock kernal, all sensors work, auto rotation works, as well as camera, hardware video acceleration, and sound.

Toshiba has confirmed via their Twitter page that the Thrive will not be getting Ice Cream Sandwich until Spring. While this was made via the official Toshiba page, still take the time with a grain of salt. It could come sooner, because with ASUS and Acer getting their Ice Cream Sandwich love, Thrive users are drooling or the Check for Updates button. Hopefully we will see some leaks come out, but until then, what Thrive user is ready for June?

Droid-life got their hands on an interesting picture, which shows two new devices called the "DROID Fighter" and the "LG Cayman". Both devices have unknown specs, but we do have a possible release date. The DROID Fighter is fighting for a release date (see what I did there?) for 4/12 and the Cayman is set for 3/29. Could we see more phones from Motorola? Or will this be another Samsung DROID? It could also the be HTC Fireball that leaked a couple weeks ago. But for now, take these release dates with a grain salt and let's see these devices at MWC.

Late last night, dragon974 from DroidRzr froums posted multiple screenshots of a leaked (looks nearly complete) build of ICS for the DROID RAZR.

As you can see from the screenshots, it's based off of 4.0.3, and system version 6.7.407.

In all honesty, I think Motorola did a decent job (if it stays this way). They did not go too far overboard, like some other
OEMs seem to be doing with ICS. Though the icons aren't great, it is a definite improvement over their Gingerbread skin.

As of now, the build has not been released to anybody other than the OP. But from the looks of it, it's release may not be to far off. Motorola says it's still in planning.

Something we never expected to see, is CyanogenMod asking for some mula. If you have ever used CyanogenMod you know how godly awesome (is that a word?) it is. But it looks like they have ran into some trouble. They are looking for our support to purchase “a couple of solid, stable Xeon-class servers with large amounts of RAM and fast disks.” For the PayPal lovers they do have an account set up. CyanogenMod team says even a couple of bucks would help immensely. Another way that that is being done is charging money for each build that you want to install.

There is already many users offering to donate some servers instead of paying.

"I'm the MD of Bytemark Hosting in the UK, and noticed that you'd asked for donations for a CyanogenMod build farm. We have a few machines that would... [Read More]

Hot the press today (see what I did there?) is that LG has announced the Optimus Vu, ahead of Mobile World Congress. The device will have a 5″ HD IPS display with 4:3 aspect ratio, a powerful 1.5GHz dual-core processor, LTE, 8MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera, and a 2080mAh battery. It will be running Gingerbread as well. And heres the kicker. It's just 8.5mm thick. Personally, I don't like square looking phones, or I may get some looks. But as long as LG puts hot women in their images, I will be OK with it...for now.

After the Prime has been having its treats with Ice Cream Sandwich, the Transformer is left starvin'. ASUS hopes to soon feed this beasts this coming February or March. Originally, it was planned for Mid-February (this week) but it looks like that plan was foiled.

Is this the end of the GSM Galaxy Nexus 32GB flavor? While most of the world has been fine on selling the Nexus, Expansys, a US online retailed, made a statement today that Samsung will be canceling the 32GB GSM Galaxy Nexus model. Exyansys was notified by a Samsung rep, so take this one with a grain of salt, but I'm sure a shopping company would not be canceling the model if the Samsung rep was 'just blowing smoke' as they say. Verizon Wireless will still be selling the 32GB flavor, with a white 16GB version on the way. Is there something wrong with 32GB models? Or is this just temporary? While still waiting for an official announcement from Samsung, buyer beware, you will have a 16GB model only.

After a thorough review of the proposed transactions, the Antitrust Division has determined that
each acquisition is unlikely to substantially lessen competition and has closed these three investigations.
