Nexus One denied Ice Cream Sandwich, becomes official relic of Android’s yesteryears
If you’re still clinging fast to Google’s first ever Nexus device, now might be the time to start eyeing an upgrade. While the search giant’s solidly confirmed an Ice Cream Sandwich destiny for owners of its penultimate Android flagship, the Nexus S, the same cannot be said for its HTC-made progenitor. It’s not as though Mountain View’s lost any love for its game-changing dev phone, rather that handset’s 2010 guts just aren’t up to snuff for the 4.0 polish. Besides, there are plenty of other more attractive and able-bodied smartphones to help you through the mourning process.

Nexus One takes a bite out of Ice Cream Sandwich, chews slowly
The Nexus One, grandaddy of Android’s latest pure-bred wonder, appears to have some fight left in it. Developer drl33tmd has managed to coax the old man into running an early port of Ice Cream Sandwich, although it’s not perfect. The somewhat unstable build is a bit sluggish, and suffers from media playback issues and a distinct lack of WiFi. Check out the demo after the break to see the original Google smartphone struggle up some increasingly steep software stairs.

…And then there were 41.
Oh, sorry, we’re talking about Android devices here. Specifically ones that support video calling over Skype. With the update to version 2.5, the VoIP service has tacked on another 14 Goog-powered gadgets to its list of officially supported handsets and tablets. Yes, that’s right, we said tablets. In addition to bringing support to phones like the Atrix, Bionic and Nexus One, Skype is inviting the Xoom, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Acer’s Iconia to the party. We’ve even received reports that video calls are working on other Honeycomb slates like the ASUS Transformer. You’ll find the full list of officially supported devices in the PR after the break.

Nexus One gets Android 2.3.4 over the air, but no Gtalk video calling fun
Good news: Android 2.3.4 is en route to your Nexus One. Bad news: it lacks the Google Talk video and voice chat options that Nexus S users will get to enjoy in their slice of the same Gingerbread iteration. You might think this predictable, given that the Nexus One lacks a front-facing camera, but then it might have been nice to at least have voice calls integrated into Gtalk. Anyhow, if bug fixes are your thing, you can go grab your build number GRJ22 at the download link below or enjoy the anticipation of getting it over the air like everyone else.
[Thanks, Tom]

Videotron parent company tries to push iPhones off its TV network in Quebec
What happens when a giant media company owns both a wireless carrier and a television network? Shenanigans — or at least that’s what now seems to be going on in la belle province of Quebec, where the parent company of cable and wireless provider Videotron and television network TVA has seemingly decided to throw its weight around a bit. Apparently, some folks from Quebecor Inc. recently realized that a number of television shows produced for TVA featured iPhones somewhat prominently, which just so happens to be a phone that isn’t offered by its Videotron subsidiary. Their solution? Ask the shows’ producers to feature phones that are available on Videotron instead, like the Nexus One — provided free of charge, of course. There doesn’t seem to be an outright iPhone ban, however, and at least one show has apparently been given specific permission to let its characters continue using their iPhones — although another show’s producer says he “wouldn’t be surprised” if such a ban was eventually put in place.

Nexus One Android 2.3.3 update arrives OTA, breaks Google Voice for some
We’re guessing that most of our readers pounced on the official Android 2.3.3 update just as soon as the links lit up last week. But if you did dawdle, don’t dally… the latest Gingerbread update is now rolling out over-the-air. Unfortunately, the update also broke Google Voice on our N1 — something that we fixed by downloading and installing an old GV.apk and then updating to the latest version in Market per instructions found in Google’s support forum left by others suffering from the same issue. Hit up the More Coverage link for details.
[Thanks, Tony]

Official Android 2.3.3 updates for Nexus One and Nexus S unearthed, available to the impatient
Waiting sucks, doesn’t it? Yes, yes it does — which is why we’re delighted to see that direct links to the official, final updates to Android 2.3.3 for the Nexus One and Nexus S have both been turned loose. This is especially exciting news for Nexus One owners who’ve stayed on the straight and narrow and haven’t moved to a cooked Gingerbread ROM already, since they’re still on Froyo — but it’s also good news for developers working on NFC apps with the Nexus S and Android’s freshly-baked NFC API, since it means they’ll have real-world devices to start playing with. So go on, get to it — we know you’re not going to wait for the over-the-air notification anyway.
[Thanks, Will]
