AT&T Galaxy S II Sees An ICS Leak

AT&T's Galaxy S II was probably feeling a little left out in the cold when its younger, LTE-gifted sibling got its ICS coat early. There's now a leak of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for your device, too. Just like the leak for the AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket, this is likely not the final version of the software. It's no surprise that we're seeing leaks for the AT&T phones, either, since they have already announced that they will receive an official Ice Cream Sandwich update. Nevertheless, the quickening pace of leaks suggests that the official ICS updates shouldn't be too far off.

Samsung Epic 4G FC09 Maintenance Update Now Rolling Out



Heads up, Samsung Epic 4G owners. Sprint has announced that a new maintenance update is now rolling out in stages to the Epic 4G. The new update, which is version FC09, actually began pushing yesterday and is expected to hit all Epic 4G owners within six weeks. It's actually a rather small upgrade, packing in a fix for a bug that'd cause a force close error when answering a call. The Sprint Connections Optimizer is also included, which is a feature that'll automatically turn on and off the Wi-Fi and 4G radios on a device at pre-specified locations and times of day in order to help save battery life. If you haven't already received the notification for the update be sure to hop into your settings and check manually.

Sprint Discontinuing Picture Mail Web Site April 30

Sprint is doing a bit of spring cleaning, and that means the Picture Mail service is shutting down. Sprint has indicated via its web site that it will cease offering its Picture Mail web site on April 30. Sprint recommends that customers log in and download their stored media before April 30, as all their content will become inaccessible after that time. Sprint did not offer a reason for discontinuing the service. Sprint's Picture Mail service can still be used to send pictures, but customers will no longer be able to store them and access them online. With the dozens of options out there for sharing images these days, this move makes a lot of sense for Sprint.

Angry Birds Space Hits 10 Million Downloads In Less Than 3 Days



Rovio introduced the game to iOS and Android's Google Play on Thursday. Rovio has confirmed in a message posted to Twitter that in less than three days of availability, the company has seen more than 10 million downloads. Angry Birds Space takes the familiar birds versus pig battle into space, where the gravitational pull of Earth does not apply and each planetary body has its own gravitation. This changes the gameplay from the ground up, allowing different combinations and taking some more time to calculate the right trajectories for the space birds. Have you downloaded Angry Birds Space yet?

The Nokia Lumia 900 smartphone will go on sale starting April 8 for $99.99 with a new contract, reports CNet. Customers can pre-order the black and blue models starting March 30, the white version will be available April 22. The Lumia 900, announced at CES in January, has a 4.3-inch ClearBlack display, 1.4GHz processor, 8 megapixel camera, polycarbonate shell, and it runs Windows Phone 7.5. Nokia hopes to draw users to its Lumia 900 and Windows Phone by setting the price tag deliberately low, and there’s a lot at stake with this launch. For the Finnish manufacturer, the clock will start ticking as soon as it gets the LTE-equipped Lumia 900 to the market as analysts will be measuring its success in the key US market. The company’s further outlook also seems to depend a lot on how the users react to this single launch.

AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket ICS Update Leaks

The long-awaited Android Ice Cream Sandwich firmware has already begun hitting Samsung Galaxy S II devices in some parts of the world, and the Skyrocket was lined up to become one of the next devices on AT&T to get the update. The official ROM is now available to download and install, but it wasn’t released by Samsung or AT&T.Instead, Android 4.0.3 was released by developer site RootzWiki earlier today. While it may not be an official release, it is claimed to be the official, “fully functional” firmware. Everything seems to be working properly on the ICS-flavored Galaxy S II Skyrocket. The Android 4.0 version comes with some heavy skinning courtesy of TouchWiz, nothing too shocking considering this is a Samsung device. In this update, there’s the added support for NFC with Google Wallet, which will allow you to pay with your phone.
