The next Android flagship: Nexus Prime (Video)
I haven´t been writing much lately, especially not about Android devices—I felt really bored by all the new devices that did not change much.

Mer - again!
Remember Mer? That attempt to build a free Maemo distribution by replacing the closed source parts of Maemo (yes, there were some), which was halted when MeeGo was introduced? Remember that Mer stood for “Maemo Reconstructed? Well, if you don't remember that, I didn't remember the second part, either.
Now that MeeGo is, say, abandoned, Mer is live again.

Breaking news: TIZEN is LiMo+MeeGo+HTML5
It's a nice day, the weather in Munich is awesome, but I am staying in during lunch break to write this article on what just happened today.
Today Tizen was announced. Tizen is yet another Linux based operating system, which replaces (read: probably merges) LiMo and MeeGo into one common platform which is supposed to be optimized for HTML5 apps.

HP announce to kill webOS devices, look for licensees
Imagine you were spending a day at work lifting boxes and while doing so you would think of what kind of blog article you were going to write later that day. This article would be an announcement, that you were going to write about some kind of a product, say a HP Pre 3 in the future because you just made the decision to get this device as your next primary phone. Later that same day, right before sitting down to write that aforementioned article, you would check twitter and see rumors of the very company making that very product was going to discontinue that, and not only that but the whole range of devices using the same software platform.

Google Buys Motorola Mobility - A Comment
It's been a while since my last post here (over a month in fact), and this post won't be that great - apologies for that.
Almost everybody shared their feelings and thoughts on the fact that Google announced it's willingness to buy Motorola Mobility for USD 12,5 billion and I have to share my 2 cents on that, too.

Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100) - Review
After about three weeks I feel ready to write this late review on the Samsung Galaxy SII, an Android best seller. I have been using it, switched back to my Acer Stream (2010 gen.), compared it to the Pre Plus and the old and dusty T-Mobile G1 to come to the conclusions I will share now. The Galaxy SII in question was running Android 2.3.3, build Gingerbread.XWKE2.

Why HP should send a huge Thank You to S. Elop
Let's face it: Many people like the Nokia MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan / Maemo 6 presented on the Nokia N9—if you read the negative comments, these show concerns about buying a device which is abandoned on release, they dislike the fact it uses last years hardware platform or ask the “What about apps?” question—if Nokia hadn't discontinued the MeeGo platform, one of these negative points would be valid, and the other two would be addressed by future devices over time (I think I even read once that OMAP4 is pin compatible to OMAP3).
