Yesterday, U.S. electronics retailer, Negri Electronics, tweeted a picture of a freshly unboxed Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with the message “Ships 8/3 #BeforeFirst.” The message wasn’t very specific and sent confused Android fans clamoring about looking for answers. A venture over to the Negri site reveals they, in fact, have the yet to be officially announced Galaxy Note 10.1 up for pre-order. Unlike their tweet, the site makes no mention of the August 3rd shipping date.

A Samsung spokesman has confirmed to Reuters that the next Galaxy Note, will in fact, be unveiled at their Unpacked event later this month. The event, which will take place in Berlin on August 29th, will set the tone for this year’s IFA and will coincidentally happen a couple weeks prior to the rumored iPhone 5 debut.

For the most part, a Bluetooth keyboard is a Bluetooth keyboard, and since there are many new Nexus 7 owners out there looking for one, I figured why not take the Logitech Tablet Keyboard For Android 3.0+ for a test spin until an official Nexus 7 keyboard hits the market.

So you’ve just picked up a brand new Nexus 7 (or perhaps you’ve had one for a bit) and you’re looking to learn more about it. Sure, you can Google information, check blogs such as Cult of Android, or simply fiddle around, but did you know there’s already a 100 page digital guide book loaded and ready to be read on your Nexus 7?

We can’t say HTC Rezound owners were too happy about sitting by and watching device after device updated to Ice Cream Sandwich, while they sat stuck on Gingerbread, but I can say: they’re much happier now. That’s right, Ice Cream Sandwich has finally begun rolling out to Rezound owners, and while it’s not the latest build, it’s still ICS. Verizon HTC Rezound owners should start seeing the OTA, which will bring them to Android 4.0.3, soon, as we’re already hearing reports of users receiving it.
