Samsung Nexus S spotted again in the wild,...sort of.



What is it about the Nexus S (Two) that has every Android user enthralled? My guess is that it has to do with the fact that Nexus devices are said to be the official and preferred devices from internet giant Google. Amazing how one company has totally become the face of the internet,... I wonder if anyone 15 years ago knew that searching was so vital to humans? But anyway, back to the story: supposedly the Nexus S has been spotted again thanks to a Google senior engineer: Erik Beans.  His Picasa account shows a picture of some lady with a phone that closely resembles the Nexus S.  I have an idea,...maybe the lady is his girlfriend and he gave her the phone as gift??  Oh wait, that would be too romantic!  What if she stole it from him while he was sleeping...just kidding!

TmoNews posts T-Mobile's reaction to Verizon 4G announcement

T-Mobile is supposedly "welcoming" Verizon to the 4G world now, as if they themselves have been in the "4G World" for years or something.  More like a month or two.  Are these networks really 4G?? Oh wait, we're not supposed to talk about that!

Is this the PlayStation Phone? Maybe.

We all saw the leaked images of the Sony Ericsson X-12, but these are still questionable as whether or not the X-12 is indeed the Playstion Phone. Someone in Greece managed to capture this video which is supposed to be the PSPhone, but who really knows at this point. All we can say at this point is....maybe.
