    looks like we may see the next stage of android and a new superpower device alongside it!

    Brace yourselves, fellas, for October will be one hell of a month for the mobile industry. The next iPhone will break cover on 4th, HTC will follow up with a phone of their own on the 6th and now we have confirmation that Google's next flagship will be announced a week later - on October 11th. Yeap, we are just two weeks away from seeing the Samsung-made Nexus Prime.
    The Korean company has already sent-out the invitations for the Unpacked event, which will be held at the CTIA expo and will be co-hosted by Google. And that might mean just one thing - it will be the event that will see the introduction of Android Ice cream sandwich and its first bearer - the Nexus Prime.


    This also aligns nicely with the lengthy video demo of new Android version that we saw this morning. The platform seemed in pretty good shape on that demo, so it should be ready to hit the stage.
    And it's not just the new reincarnation of the world's best-selling popular OS that deserves attention. The Samsung Nexus Prime should be a pretty hot piece of technology itself with its rumored 4.65" HD Super AMOLED screen and powerful Exynos chipset with a couple of 1.5 GHz CPU cores.
    October seems like the month that will set the tone for the next year or so in the smartphone race.

    Fairly disappointed that the video yesterday is so similar to the photos from August, I really thought they were just some customizations. There's still a chance that's fake too, very small chance though now I suppose.

    I'm interested now to see if this is the unifying OS, and if it is then how different the UI will be between tablets and phones.

    At this rate it's going to have to be totally different between the two form factors, so it's hard to understand how it will get the same version number.

    If the OS is made to be completely adaptable based on the form factor, colour me impressed.
    If not, this UI ending up on tablets will be a real step backwards.
