Google+ app for Android handsets was updated, needed bugs were fixed and functionality – improved. One of the most noticeable novelty is the fact that now you can share posts with individual people rather than just groups.

Other notifications are – when clicking "+mention" will now auto-complete with usernames from your Circles, clicking it in a comment would take you to that person profile.

We have leaked information about the upcoming Google Nexus 3 device appearance. The most interesting fact is that Samsung will be making this particular handset. As we got to know, it will be featuring a Samsung AMOLED HD display and the production will start in late 2011.

Those facts were given by a guy, who is managing Samsung Mobile’s Twitter account in Romania.

TAIPEI: Taipei said Monday it had fined Google Tw$1,000,000 ($34,600) for refusing to grant customers a seven-day trial period when they download apps for their cell phones.

Taiwan's consumer protection law stipulates that consumers are entitled to a seven-day trial period after purchasing any products via Internet, including cell phone software applications.

The capital city's government found that Google and Apple had violated the law and on June 8 ordered them to alter their trading rules.

Sprint website has revealed (and later pulled back) some details on the upcoming Nexus S 4G smartphone.

The device will come as a “fully integrated Google Voice” handset.

Also, the Nexus S 4G will be packing Gingerbread and have support for both 4G and 3G speeds.

Though the Moment got an official upgrade to Android 2.1, it seems that Samsung's hospitality dried up there.

Due to the difficulty they've had getting the newer Epic 4G on 2.2, there is nothing hearing about Froyo upgrade for Samsung Moment.

Of course, that doesn't mean the hacking community isn't doing what it can to keep the Moment up to date.

Finally, the so-called SDX Froyo M900 project recently hit Release Candidate 1.

Ofcourse, most of Nexus One owners pounced on the official Android 2.3.3 update just as soon as the links lit up last week. Unfortunately, the update also broke Google Voice on N1 devices. 

It can be fixed by downloading and installing an old GV.apk and then updating to the latest version in Market per the instructions left over at the Google support forum.

Though it'd originally been pegged for the second quarter, HTC is going to hurry up with the launch of its new flagship - the Incredible S. It comes to the UK this week.

Pre-orders are going on as we speak with shipments promised for tomorrow, but there's a little change: rather than shipping with Gingerbread, the phones will come with Froyo.

An upgrade to Gingerbread is promised for the near future.

The last time we heard about the HTC Thundebolt pricing, it was $249 via Best Buy.

Now the things have changed and it is available at Best Buy for $299 with a two-years agreement. The price increased for $50 for some reasons we don't know about.

If you are intended to obtained the device without contract, you will have to pay $749.

 

A new web-based version of the Android Market was announced by Google in its Honeycomb presentation. It will allow users easily find Android applications for their devices.
