Bad news for Android fans out there.The google event that was going to be held on October 29 has been cancelled owing to an emergency issued by the US due to arrival of the hurricane Sundy which is predicted to pass through New York,the city where the event was to be held.

The event was supposed to reveal the next Nexus device ,the LG Nexus 4 as well as the Nexus 10 tablet.

The exact date when the event will later be held has not been said by Google

Indonesian site Postel has leaked the Xperia E and Xperia E Dual model names.This confirms that Sony is bringing out two new entry level smartphones




Codenamed NanHu DS (dual SIM) and NanHu SS, both the Sony Xperia E Dual and Xperia E will feature Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7227A chipsets with Adreno 200 graphics. The two will run Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich on a 320 x 480 resolution display.
As of yet there aren't any photos, but Xperia E sholdn't be any larger than the Xperia tipo, nor more expensive.

An alleged live photo of Sony Xperia C650X Odin has emerged, thus giving us a glimpse of Sony's upcoming Android powerhouse. The device has previously made an appearance in a leaked user agent profile.


The purported photo of the device doesn’t reveal much almost frameless, rumored 5" 1080p display, tucked in what appears to be a metal-clad body. The rest of the handset's alleged specifications include quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset and 2GB of RAM.Rumor has it that the Sony Xperia C650X Odin will likely break cover during CES 2013 in Las Vegas this coming January

    

Sony just announced the update plan of its Xperia line. Here's the list of models that will get updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and also the ones that will remain stuck with 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Sony's latest high-end Xperia phones - the Xperia T, TX and V - will be updated to 4.1 Jelly Bean in mid-Q1 next year.
Next up are the global versions of Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J. The release date for the update will be announced later. It's still unclear what will happen to the localized versions.
And now, the ones left behind - the whole 2011 Xperia lineup (which got updated to ICS) will not be getting Jelly Bean because Sony "would not be able to guarantee owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand".
It's a bit disappointing that the Xperia J, which has a cut-down version of the Qualcomm chipset that powers the 2011 Xperias, is getting JB but the older models are not.

The Contour+2 may be the best digital action camcorder on the market (though Sony and GoPro aren't gonna agree), but the company knows not everyone wants a $400 shooter to capture their epic runs this ski season. Thus, Contour has introduced the ROAM2, a $199 model that records 1080p 30fps and 720p 60fps video on its included 4GB microSD card. Like the original Roam, it can capture clips up to one meter underwater without an external case, has a 270-degree rotating lens and a laser level to line up your shots. This new Roam, however, sports improved image quality and an aluminum skin of four colors: black, red and blue will be widely available, and green models can be had exclusively from Amazon through the end of the year (other retailers will carry it in 2013). Best Buy and other retailers will start selling them on October 21st.
