Best android phone still??

With the onslaught of Android devices that has attacked the market this last year, it seems that one still stands out from the pack. Even through all the benchmark testing that one can handle there is always this one device that stands out from all the rest. Samsung's Galaxy SII, no matter the competition, still takes the crown as fastest and most fluid Android phone to date.  I know, I know you're thinking what about the Galaxy Nexus? In short, NO. While the Galaxy Nexus is nice and quick, thanks mostly to Android ICS which utilizes hardware and software together to speed things up, it still pales in comparison to the GS2. Maybe it has something to do with Samsung's praised Exynos processor, or maybe Samsung did something right when they married TouchWiz to Android? Who knows. One thing is for certain though and that is regardless of the onslaught of Android devices to hit since the GS2's inception earlier this spring, nothing has come close yet to surpassing it.

Welcome to the blog to end all blogs



 I want to welcome everyone to a roller coaster ride of tech info. mixed with some opinion, ok a LOT of opinion that is sure to please...I will have reviews, pics, info. and all kinds of other goodies soon. So stay tuned and enjoy the ride..And don't say I didn't warn you...

Android's upcoming ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich)

 
 I have put a lot of thought lately into the upcoming OS option from Android. What's bothering me most is the issue of fragmentation. You know, that ugly word that offends so many Android fans. No matter how you look at it, Android's upcoming software release throws another cog into the wheel of fragmentation. Just when most hardware manufacturers were finally getting around to Gingerbread, Google throws another update out to further the confusion. And if this update is anything like previous updates, you can pretty much count out one of the hottest selling Android's to date, as in the GSII, from getting it (right away that is). Let me remind you all of the Samsung Epic 4G which is just now getting around to Gingerbread after nearly a year. So my question I guess is to all of you out there. Does this new OS bother any of you? Especially since the new Nexus will be the only device in the immediate future to taste such a delicious treat.
