we go hands-on the much expected droid bionic HTC plans a September 20th event in new york city and sony ericsson just backed up from their ice cream sandwich promise all this and more coming up right now hello everyone I'm hi metairie better with pocketnow.com and welcome to android revolution the show we go through what's hot and what's not inside the world of Google's Android project let's start this week off with what's hot okay so this has been another great week with announcements for Android so let's start talking about them first of all LG has just announced that they'll be making their optimus one successor be called the Optimus hub though it's a mid-range device nothing really interesting its specs but what's cool here is that it'll actually cost you like two hundred and seventy bucks off contract so really good choice if you want an unlocked phone for prepaid or traveling and while continuing on with the Samsung Galaxy monikers we've now got Vodafone UK getting the galaxy y though we're not sure why the list of specs is not really interesting and well it's just a mid-range device AT&T has also announced that their galaxy s2 sign up pages live you can expect the device as soon as September 16th and well you can bet there's already somebody going on that webpage every single day because that's me I really want one and while September 18th will also be the day when AT&T is getting there Xperia Play finally really good device from Sony Ericsson that brings you some PlayStation love so really good deal right there and well US cellular has also announced they'll be getting the motorola electrify which is the same photon 4g that you've seen from motorola really good device really great specs and it's a really high-end device and well finally if you want a really good deal for this week well first of all the sprint epic touch 4g or epic 4g touch i believe it is it's not only on sale on wirefly on pre-order but you could also go to walmart.com and get it for as much as a hundred bucks on pre-order so it's a really good deal really good smartphones coming up and well HTC has just sent us an invitation for September 20th event for most likely new devices that will be released the card doesn't give any specifics except for the fact that it says come celebrate in style with HCC so definitely we can expect some really good devices for the fall lineup now stick around for the next segment as we talk about the rumors of devices that will most probably get on this event and well our men Evan blass expert in all leagues foreign and domestic is just hooked put some more leaks really good ones first of all he was able to pull up some press shots of the HTC Runnemede which has got the weirdest name I've ever heard and it seems to be like a flagship device sadly we've got no information on a carrier just the fact that it's got really great leaks and well it seems to be costing like 900 bucks off contract so let's see what the September 20th event brings and well the HTC Victor has also made it to the FCC with a lot of images and a lot of great specs so again a lot of things to wait for on the September 20th event that will be covering live and well he was also able to confirm that the sprint LG Marquee that we were able to leak just some weeks ago it's going to be the LG optimus black variant that's going to be coming to sprint so it's a really good device that's coming up though we still have no release dates and yes as of the Samsung Galaxy monikers we're not getting any weirder the samsung galaxy w has just hit the FCC and it seems to be going to tmobile as a t6 79 it's got really decent specs though again we've still got an overly states really good rumors really good devices September 20th will be the day for HCC and we will be there live we'll keep you posted out of this week's coverage on our website make sure you hit deke Adams recent video reviews of the motorola photon 4g so far so good we also go hands-on the motorola droid bionic that everybody waited for so long and while we also have HTC Wildfire s full review from joe levi animaux sadly it barely made 2.5 stars out of 5 not really the device and we also have this article from joe where he actually tells us how to surf the web on t-mobile without a dataplan really good they're a really good article and won't finally Adam lanes recent LG thrill 4g video show us some software side though sadly he's not thrilled at all anyways okay so that does it for what's hot and let's continue on with what's not in well sony ericsson came on record recently to promise everybody that owned an android handset from sony ericsson that they'd be getting a free upgrade to ice cream sandwich though it was probably wishful thinking because recently they came on record again and stated no they pulled back on their promise and said sorry guys we can't offer it for all devices most likely it has to do with hardware specs we're not going to be really hard on them it's just really sad to see that while Sony Ericsson's got some really good devices and sadly it took them a long time to upgrade their old xperia x10 so not really sure what to expect from sony ericsson's future on android if they continue delaying all these updates with so many excuses sad news that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching i'm high metal you better remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now you
