AT&T has unleashed its 4G LTE fury upon the city of Cleveland, and its citizens are ready to Rock ‘n’ Roll. It continues to be a slow rollout for AT&T, but every little bit counts if you’re a customer. If you’ve already jumped ship over to Verizon, then you probably won’t care, but if you’re still an AT&T faithful living in Cleveland, you’ll know be able to enjoy:

Verizon posted the update informationM for Android 4.0.4 IMM76K yesterday and we knew it wouldn’t be long before it started rolling out. Well, some lucky users are already seeing the update pop up on their device, but before you go getting excited, it appears to only be affecting a small batch of people. Of course, I’m not one of them, but that hasn’t stopped me from obsessively hitting the “check now” button.

Warning: Verizon and Sprint customers look away. Google has begun selling accessories for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on the Google Play Store, only problem, they’re only compatible with the GSM/HSPA+ model. Oh yea, and you can only get them in the US. So essentially, the majority of GSM/HSPA+ users won’t be able to purchase these accessories from the Play Store and the majority of US Galaxy Nexus owners also won’t be able to purchase these accessories from the Play Store. Wake me up when this bad dream is over.

I’m sure you don’t remember, but back in March, ARCHOS announced a budget Android 4.0 device for kids called the ChildPad. Fast forward to today, and it’s now finally available for purchase. The ChildPad allows parents to give their children the educational and fun experience of a mobile media device without having to break the bank or their personal high-cost device.

As we anxiously await Google I/O, and what it may have planned for Android, we’re treated to a possible sneak peek courtesy an online benchmark site. The rumored Google Nexus tablet that’s been talked about for months appears to have taken a spin on the benchmark site Rightware. Showing up under the name Google ASUS Nexus 7, this 768×1280 quad-core mystery device actually gives us quite a bit of information thanks to a little digging by the guys over at Android Police.
