Motorola skipping Ice Cream Sandwich for some devices, worries it’ll make them fat

Despite Motorola’s Android 4.0 rollout schedule , not every one of the manufacturer’s devices are ready for dessert — some, the outfit says, will be put on a diet. “Obviously we want the new release to improve our devices,” the company said in a recent blog post, “If we determine that can’t be done, well, then we’re not able to upgrade that particular device.” Handsets that are bogged down by Ice Cream Sandwich simply won’t get an update.

Voyager Mobile shakes off network issues, launches a few days behind schedule

It’s tough being the new kid in town — ask Voyager Mobile, an up and coming MVNO that had its launch delayed by a “malicious network attack” last week.

The at times very heated legal battle between Apple and Samsung might be softening just a bit ahead of truce talks on May 21st. Samsung’s mobile head JK Shin just left Seoul for the mediated discussions saying there were still “several negotiation options” on tap, including the possibility of cross-licensing patents.

As much as we’re familiar with mobile device torture tests , they’re normally inflicted by us or otherwise not-so-voluntary . Nokia, however, has stepped up to the plate and doled out the abuse to the Lumia 900 itself with a hammer and nail, all based on a wager that the Windows Phone’s use of Gorilla Glass would hold up to Sonim -level punishment.
