Don?t Have An HTC Vivid? These AT&T Devices Are Getting ICS In ?Coming Months?

android_ice_cream_sandwichThose of you dutifully carrying around your HTC Vivids have probably already heard AT&T has officially started pushing out the handset's Ice Cream Sandwich update. For all you other AT&T customers, fear not -- the nation's second largest wireless carrier has also announced which of their other Android handsets will be getting the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment. There aren't many surprises on the list (which can be found below if you'd rather not wait), but a few fairly recent devices have been don't seem to have made the cut yet.

Roland's Wireless Connect lets your iPhone and electronic instruments play nice sans cords

Image
As if there weren't already enough devices out there for connecting musical instruments to iDevices, Roland's unveiled its latest entrant to the fray over at this year's Musikmesse. Combining a duo of iOS apps and a Netgear-sourced USB dongle, the company's created what's dubbed as the Wireless Connect system. Essentially, by plugging the USB stick into a select number of the company's electronic instruments, you'll be able to jam out using your iDevice as a cord-free aid. With its updated app version of V-Drums Friend Jam, drummers can work on their chops and share the results over the web (alternatively, the current computer variant requires a wired connection). Additionally, the Air Recorder app allows you to hook up with its Synths and V-Accordions to record your playing, jam along with songs from your iPhone or both at the same time. Notably, you likely won't get much use out of Wireless Connect at your next gig, though, as it requires a LAN connection with access to the internet for full functionality. While there's not word on a pricing just yet, Roland plans to have the system on store shelves by the end of spring. Interested musicians can glance at the press release and instrument compatibility details planted just past the break.

Context Is King: OneReceipt?s Chrome Extension Sheds More Light On Your Bank Statements

orchromeI'm going to admit something right here for everyone to see -- I like buying things, a lot. Perhaps too much. I really don't think I'm alone on that front, but it's still a bit of a puzzle trying to work out exactly what I bought on Amazon for $62 three weeks ago from my online credit card statement (as it turns out, a memory card, a GalNex screen protector, and a LensPen). Thankfully, there's no shortage of help out there. OneReceipt is one such assistant -- they launched their receipt tracking service back in November and now with between 50-75 million transactions tracked, they're looking to use their new Chrome extension to bring some much-needed context to users' online bank statements and Mint accounts.

Nokia to Apple: don't cha wish your nano-SIM was hot like ours?

Image
Don't you hate it when the biggest wars can be started over the smallest things? This time around, we're referring to this in a very literal sense, as Apple has been putting the heat on (no, not that kind of heat) against an alliance formed by Nokia, Motorola and RIM regarding nano-SIM standards. With the ETSI gearing up for a vote on various proposals next week, the two sides are locking horns, determined to prove theirs is the best. Last we heard, concerns were flying left and right that Apple was planning to move ahead with its nano-SIM unilaterally, snatch up a smorgasbord of patents along its path and seize control of the governing body by registering six subsidiaries to vote. Considering Nokia is the current vote leader and claims its design has "significant technical advantages," we can understand why the Finnish giant would be worried. But how, exactly, is its design any better off?

A Nokia representative gave some more clarity to The Verge about the perks its version offers. The company claims Apple's standard doesn't meet the ETSI-approved requirements, which if true would make it incredibly difficult -- in theory, anyway -- to win over votes. Also, unlike Cupertino's version, Nokia's card doesn't require a tray or drawer, which equates to more space, allows for more design innovations and decreases the cost of manufacturing in comparison. Lastly, Espoo also argues that its competitor's proposal wouldn't be backwards-compatible with micro-SIM slots. Sounds legit, but we'd love to hear the opposing team offer its rebuttal before next week's vote. As it stands, we doubt this is the last round in the war of words before everything is settled. For now, head over to the source to see the explanation in its entirety.

Commodore Amiga Mini PC revealed: Core i7, 16GB of RAM and a Blu-ray drive

Image
Yeah, an optical drive. You know, for folks who still appreciate the passing fads of life. Bitterness aside, Commodore is following up its retro-fabulous C64x with a new small-form-factor PC, the Amiga Mini. While not much of a looker, this box houses a potent 3.5GHz Core i7-2700k CPU, 16GB of DDR3 memory, NVIDIA's GeForce GT 430 (1GB), a WiFi radio and a 1TB HDD that can be swapped out for a 300GB or 600GB solid state drive. There's a slot-loading Blu-ray drive by default, internal space for a pair of 2.5-inch drives and a predictable Amiga logo burned right onto the front panel. Unfortunately, the well-specced base model tips the pricing scales at $2,495, but that does include a copy of its Commodore OS Vision. The company's also revealing the C64x Supreme, the new VIC mini and a more powerful VIC-Slim keyboard computer (which now includes an HDMI output), all detailed in the presser past the break.

Even cerebral palsy can't stop this dedicated video creator

Image
Christopher Hill isn't your typical video producer. The youngster whipped up the clip after the break controlling his array of Macs almost entirely with a single switch. Chris has cerebral palsy, a severe motor function impairment that makes it all but impossible for him to interact with a computer through a traditional keyboard and mouse. Instead, a button is mounted behind his head on his wheel chair, which connects to a Discover Switch. That blue and green USB peripheral, which looks quite a bit like the Staple's Easy Button, allows him to manipulate anything on the screen with nothing more than the back of his head. The one thing Chris left to someone else in the clip below is the subtitles. While he could actually type them himself, it would have taken a very long time, so he graciously accepted some help from his father. Click on through for a nice heart-warming tale about the power of modern technology.

Big Biker Hangout: The Web

When biker Robert Swidersky learned about BikerOrNot.com from his son a few years ago, he decided he'd give it a shot. "The more I used it, the more I found things I liked," said Swidersky. "I was informed about rides and events around me, and I could also inform others about rides and events, meet people, and create a fan page as to where I can share my hobbies or interests, or join other peoples' fan pages."
