China-bound Sony Xperia Neo L with ICS gets handled, holds nothing back
Author: Jesus Sargent
It was only a couple of months ago that we first crossed paths with Sony’s Xperia Neo L, and now the Ice Cream Sandwich handset is back with a vengeance — at least in terms of exposure. As you may know, details were revealed in abundance (read: 1GHz Snapdragon S2 CPU, 512MB of RAM) during our first MT25i encounter, but thanks to Taiwanese site ePrice, we’re able to gander at the device posing in an array of different angles and leaving very little to the imagination. For now, pricing still remains a mystery, though we do know Sony’s 4-inch (854 x 480) Neo L is expected to hit Chinese shelves later this month. Until then, anyone intrigued can jump past the break to check out a different look, or hit the source link for the full set of snaps.

Eee Pad Transformer Prime gets handled, fawned over
Author: Major Workman
We’ve seen the Eee Pad Transformer Prime work out its camera, take a bite out of Ice Cream Sandwich and slide through a Portuguese hands-on, but we’re more than happy to take a peek at Ritchie’s Room’s “first look” as well. Their impressions? Pretty positive — Ritchie had nary a negative thing to say about the ASUS slate, optimistically noting that folks screaming for ice cream will eventually be able to sooth their throats with an update. The outfit confirmed a handful of details we’d already deduced — the prime’s svelte 8.33mm (0.33 inches) and 586 gram (1.29 pound) measurements leave it just a hair thinner than the iPad 2, and as we suspected, make it incompatible with the original Transformer’s keyboard dock. Hit the source link below for a mess of photos and a glowing write-up.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus gets handled on video
Author: Gabe Hall
We’re still a few hours away from Samsung’s big Ice Cream Sandwich event, but it looks like the company just can’t keep the Galaxy Nexus under wraps. First it showed up on the company’s site, and now here it is getting man-handled by Mr. Blurrycam. The footage is a little dark and hard to see, but that certainly looks like an ice cream sandwich running on there — and crashing from time to time. The video popped up on YouTube and was promptly pulled — but don’t worry, we kept a copy. Enjoy that after the break, and swing on back by here in a few hours for the liveblog.

Vic Gundotra On How Google+ Handled Brands: “It Was Probably A Mistake”
Author: Brittany Turner
After warning people about it for weeks, Google began enforcing its ban on all Google business profiles this morning, to much consternation from, well, businesses. Yes Google did warn people at the launch of Google+ that any non-human pages would be killed and that people shouldn’t be surprised that the pages were killed…
But of course, like when anything is axed on the Internet, people were up in arms. Search Engine Land’s Danny Sullivan wrote an “Open Letter To Google+ On The Subject Of Brand Pages” and, emboldened, my colleague MG Siegler wrote the elegantly titled “Fucktard+.”
We were explicitly told not to put up a Google+ Profile for TechCrunch at launch, but other brands like Mashable, Search Engine Land, Ford and Seasame Street didn’t get the memo and had their profile pages suspended this morning. Since then Ford and Mashable have had their Google+ pages reinstated after what I’m assuming was communication directly with Google. Danny Sullivan in contrast will have to file a reconsideration request for Search Engine Land’s page.
Because we had Google Social Head Vic Gundotra and Product Manager Bradley Horowitz in the TCTV studio today, I decided to ask them what they thought about the backlash and inconsistent handling of the Google+ Business Accounts. Vic Gundutra’s solution was to choose a figurehead from the organization to represent the brand and deal with the interim months between now and when the Google+ Business pages launch that way. Gundotra told me that in hindsight the treatment of brands in this way was “probably a mistake.”
Of course the whole thing is exceptionally ill thought out. Using the Pete Cashmore switchover as an example, Gundotra says that Cashmore recognized that he made a “mistake,” and that’s why he changed the Mashable profile to Pete Cashmore; But, wait Cashmore already had a Google+ profile with 40K followers when he was allowed to switch the Mashable account (and its over 100K followers) to his personal one. So now Pete Cashmore has two (!) personal accounts. I don’t know about you but that doesn’t sound at all like “complying with the rules” to me.
When asked if he would take Google up on its solution Danny Sullivan said, “Honestly at this point it’s not that important to me, to have someone go in there and pretend to be our business off of their personal account.” Indeed, as this kind of pullback and “oh here’s a workaround wink wink” strategy creates mistrust between platform and users. “Putting the business genie back in the bottle is just going to generate a lot of ill will,” Sullivan expained.

Android 3.2 shipping this summer for 7-inch tablets, Huawei’s MediaPad gets handled
Author: Margo Tipton
We knew that Android 3.2 was little more than a tailor-made edition of Android 3.1 for 7-inch slates, but even after speaking with Huawei, we weren’t exactly sure when it would be rolling out to things other than its own MediaPad. Our pals over at This is my next managed to confirm that it’ll be landing as early as this summer, and for better or worse, it’ll be the last major Android release prior to Ice Cream Sandwich hitting retail devices in Q4. Moreover, it’s bruited that v3.2 will bring support for Qualcomm CPUs as well as NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 chipset, which could lead to HTC’s Flyer getting an upgrade of its own. As for more current plans, it seems as if the Motorola Xoom — a slate that was just recently updated to 3.1 — will see another point increase in the coming weeks, which should give us a solid indication of what to expect software-wise with the MediaPad drops a few months later. Speaking of which, both CNET and M.I.C. Gadget were on-hand in Singapore for a look at the show-floor model of that very tablet, and you can feast your eyes on the pictorial proof down in the source links below.

Working Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 spotted, handled in Germany (video)
Author: Jade Kim
We had a chance to peek at a glass-protected dummy version of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 8.9 at CTIA, but the real thing popped up at an event in Germany over the weekend, in all its svelte gadget glory. Our friend Johannes went hands-on with the tablet in Frankfurt, and liked what he saw. The version he saw was noticeably thinner than the prototype 8.9-incher that we got to smudge up in March (it’s even slimmer than the iPad 2), and if this Europe appearance is any indication, Sammy may be on track to launch these sometime this summer, as promised. The launch date has yet to be announced, so if you can’t wait any longer to get your hands on the Android Honeycomb device, you can try the 10.1-inch version on for size beginning this month.

Leica M9 Titanium unboxed, handled with all the care a $32,000 camera deserves (video)
Author: Jamie Colby
Even in its “standard” magnesium alloy body, the Leica M9 is an exclusive piece of kit that prices out all but the most fervent and deep-pocketed rangefinder lovers. Nonetheless, Leica has a habit of putting together even more limited editions of its shooters, one of which has recently been subjected to a thorough unboxing and video overview. Only 500 special edition Titanium M9s cameras have been produced, each one individually numbered and costing nearly £20,000 (or about $ 32,000) in a set with a Summilux-M 35mm F1.4 lens, also made from titanium. With a full frame 18 megapixel CCD sensor and dual image processors inside, it’s a fully fleshed-out beast of a portable shooter, but you’d probably expect nothing less given the fact it costs more than most cars. Go past the break to ogle this special M9.
[Thanks, Aaron]

Xbox 360′s transforming D-pad controller gets handled on video
Author: Alexander McQueen
Boy, we’ve gone from rumor to hands-on experience in just a couple of days with this thing. Microsoft’s November 9-bound Xbox 360 controller refresh couldn’t escape the clutches of Joystiq, who have put together a neat photo gallery and video overview. That chrometastic new D-pad is clearly the headliner here, and the early feedback is that it works well — it takes a bit of effort to transform from a flat button to the elevated four-way navigator you see above, but that’s apparently a good thing as it means you’ll never flip modes by accident in the middle of a hot and heavy gaming session. The analog buttons have also been subjected to some nipping and tucking and there is of course a new desaturated color scheme to explore as well. You’ll find a shot of the retail packaging after the break and a lot more at the source.

Panasonic’s New 3D Camcorder Gets Handled, Judged
Author: Alexander McQueen
We’ve been looking forward to Panasonic’s consumer 3D camcorder since we first saw their pro one at CES. When it was revealed last week, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. It’s not a new camcorder at all, just a conversion lens that severely limits exposure and manual controls. The 60FPS split-resolution recording methods threw me as well. But I haven’t handled it, so my opinion is worthless at the moment.
But Camcorder Info just gave it a once-over, and they share many of my apprehensions. For a person who’s willing to shell out a grand and a half for a 3D camcorder, it seems to offer as many frustrations as it does opportunities. Configuration of the 3D mode is a pain, apparently, and the impaired light-gathering ability of the 3D add-on makes shooting in medium or low light difficult.
Here’s the issue: it’s a regular camcorder with a big thing strapped to the front. I’m a little sad that Panasonic didn’t decide to go whole hog and just integrate the 3D lenses into the body. 2D shooting could just, I don’t know, use one of the lenses. But if you’re selling it based on the 3D ability, that should be the device’s primary purpose. It seems clear that with the HDC-SDT750, the primary purpose is being a regular camcorder, and the 3D part compromises that.

BlackBerry Curve 9300 prototype gets handled on video
Author: Tech Blogger
BlackBerry lovers, are you sitting at home on a Friday night itching for the latest device scoop? Or out but glued to your screen checking news sites in between BBM relays? Looks like TechnoBuffalo (with a little help from Negri Electronics) has you covered: hands-on time with the Curve 9300. This prototype 8500 replacement has T-Mobile UK bands and is actually working (although with OS 5 at the moment). Compared with its predecessor, the keyboard is apparently improved, the side buttons more flush with the device, and there are a few cosmetic differences as you can notice in the picture above. Video after the break… now get on with your evening, k?
