Despite all the rumours which began with expections of 5.0 Key Lime Pie then turned into the less exciting rumour of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, Google I/O has come and gone with no new version of Android.  I personally was certain we would at least say Android 4.3 but no luck.  Even though Android 4.3 didn’t debut at I/O…

It looks like the long awaited Jelly Bean update for the original Galaxy Note i717 is finally available.  According to Telus’ website, the Galaxy Note can now be updated to Android 4.1.2 OTA or through Kies.  This update took quite a bit longer than many were expecting and a good while longer than the international…

It’s almost May!  And that means that Google I/O is coming up quickly.  Normally this is a joyous event for the Andriod community (and I’m sure it still will be) but we’re getting more possible bad news regarding the event.  Not only are we likely not going to see the next Nexus phone at I/O,…
