Gingerbread rumored for an October launch with a 1 GHz requirement in tow

I’m sure you’re all bored with Froyo by now, what with it having been officially available on one device for two days now, so its time to move on to Gingerbread and fortunately Eldar Murtazin of mobile-review.com just outed a whole slew of fun new details about the forthcoming Android OS update.

Lets start with the release date which he pegs as mid-October with the first handsets releasing with the update in either late November or December. (For those keeping score at home this also coincides perfectly with the recent rumor from BGR that Verizon is planning to out their first LTE devices on November 26th.)

Secondly Google will be establishing a minimum specification threshold for devices to run Gingerbread and beyond. Chief among these are a 1GHz CPU, 512 MB of RAM and a display of at least 3.5″. So any device that doesn’t meet…

Cisco unveils the Android-powered Cius tablet

While most of us are eager to see what new Android phones are right around the corner, Cisco would like to remind us that Android is a whole lot more than simply a cell phone OS. The new Cisco Cius is an “ultra-portable, mobile collaboration business tablet that offers access to essential business applications and technologies.”

The tablet runs on Android and supports full integration of Cisco’s telepresence technology with HD video conferencing support. The Cius features a 7” diagonal, high-resolution, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, 3G/4G data and Bluetooth 3.0, support for virtual desktop client, and also comes with “soundstation” which features Bluetooth and USB peripheral support and a handset option.

Obviously, the Cisco Cius is not the Android tablet many of us have been hoping for since it’s directly targeter at the corporate world. However, it’s exciting to see a big player like Cisco get behind the Android platform and produce such an advanced business…

Reports of bricked handsets force Sprint to pull HTC EVO 4G update

Remember that 1.47.651.1 update for the HTC EVO 4G that we told you about yesterday?  Apparently, Sprint and HTC have pulled it down from their servers due to some technical issues and reports from customers that the update has bricked their precious EVO 4G.

Some users who reported the issue may have been running a modified or unofficial ROM but others have claimed to have issues on the stock build that Sprint rolled out just after the launch of the HTC EVO 4G.  Many HTC EVO owners explained that they installed the update twice (update notification reappeared after the initial update was complete) before their handsets became inoperable.

We haven’t experienced any issues with our EVO 4Gs after the update, but feel free to let us know if your phone is no longer working or if things are simply acting up.

While the vast majority of consumers successfully downloaded…
