Here's a bit of a rumor for all of you: If the Samsung's Galaxy S III isn't big enough for you with a large 4. 8 inch screen then perhaps you considered a larger phone such as the Note II, which is easily one of the largest phones out on the market with a 5. 5 inch screen.

Google has made available the stock ICS/Jelly Bean calendar app on the Play Store. This is certainly good news for those who are using devices with a custom manufacturer UI on top of the Android system, like Samsung's TouchWiz and would like the fresh look of Google's Calendar.

Good news for those of you who want to get the Lumia 920, Nokia's latest and greatest Windows Phone 8 device, but live in the US and don't want to shift to AT&T. The phone was unduly limited only for AT&T customers, but now fortunately for AT&T customers, we heard the limitation will only last for 6 months.
