It’s only been a couple weeks since Amazon Wireless dropped the price of the HTC One X to $19.99 (new 2-year contract/customers) and they’re already dropping the price even lower. Lower?! How much lower can they go without giving it away? How’s a penny sound? That’s right, for a penny and a 2-year contract with AT&T, you can grab yourself a brand new HTC One X.

The Nexus rumors have been gushing from every direction these past few days and we couldn’t be more excited. If everything we’ve heard pans out, we’ll see a new era of Nexus devices, with multiple OEMs no longer competing for Google’s approval, but for ours. We’ll soon be able to choose between Nexus devices of various specs made by various manufacturers. With that in mind, I’m now starting to think beyond the once important Vanilla Android experience and timely updates, and focusing more on want I’d like out of the hardware.

Honeycomb is on the verge of extinction as yet another Android tablet prepares to be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 on Verizon has finally been approved for the update and users of the device should start to see it within the next week or so.

It appears Sony’s Xperia Tablet S isn’t as “splash proof” or “water resistant” as they claim. Those buzzwords are now coming back to haunt Sony as sales of the Xperia Tablet S have been halted due to a manufacturing flaw that actually makes the tablets susceptible to water damage. Quite the opposite of what they are touting.

Out with the old, in with the new. That’s how the saying goes and that’s what we’re starting to see as carriers and retailers begin discounting their old hardware in preparation for the newer models. One such price cut can be seen on Amazon Wireless; where the 32GB DROID RAZR MAXX is now only $49.99 for new customers signing a 2-year contract.
