Google Music!
Today, Google hosted a special announcement event called "These go to Eleven". In the event, the main attraction was Google Music. Google Music is officially released; no longer a beta. There are some awesome changes now, too. Your Google Music can be accessed at music.google.com. You can access that from any browser, even the iOS browser. There is also integration with the Android Market. There you will be able to buy "millions of songs", says Google. Of course, these features will only be available to people with their Android's updated to 2.2, and running the newest Android Markt version. Also, there will be a "free song of the day" similar to what Amazon does. Google wraps all of their software together, as what you listen to on Google Music, shows up on your Google+ stream. This stuff is pretty exciting, therefore, I'll be getting my Google Music set up ASAP. So, what about you? Will you be sticking with iTunes? Or is this even an iTunes competitor? Tell us in the comments below.

Why the DROID Razr probably isn't the Phone for You
Lately in smartphone news, there has been great hype over the new, updated, Droid Razr. The phone came out yesterday, November 11th. If you don't already know, This is a dual-core phone, dual-cameras, 4GLTE, and a Super AMOLED display. The big selling point: It's the thinnest smartphone on the market. Which leads me to think that a lot of people shouldn't be getting this phone. Now sure, if you aren't clumsy with your phone, or you don't excessively use your smartphone, then these don't apply to you. But If so, keep on reading.
The only reason I say this Razr might not be for you, is if you just "want" the thinnest phone. After I state these reasons, you might second guess upgrading your phone... unless you're coming from the original Razr.
Let's start with battery issues. If you're a power user; or even just use your phone a lot; you'll probably be putting an extended battery on this phone, especially since it's dual-core, and 4GLTE. These facts ruin the point of the"worlds thinnest phone". Also, since this phone is pretty expensive, you want to protect it. Meaning, there will be a case on the phone. What's the point anymore?

Siri Ported to iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G!
Earlier today, iPhone hacker "chpwn" successfully ported Siri to the iPhone 4, and iPod Touch 4G. If you don't know what Siri is, basically it is a personal assistant, built right into the iPhone 4S. The only problem; It's ONLY on the 4S. That's where iOS hackers come in. Here's video of Siri running on the iPod Touch 4G-

Samsung/Google Galaxy Nexus Specs!
So, last night, Samsung announced their extremely hyped Galaxy Nexus. Yes, Galaxy Nexus, not Nexus Prime, like all the rumors pointed to. This Galaxy Nexus will have a 4.65 inch-screen, with a display resolution of 1280 x 720p (Super AMOLED HD). It's like an HDTV, in your pocket! For RAM, it's holding 1GB, and for storage options, the Nexus will come in two different versions; 16GB, and 32GB. The Galaxy Nexus wil also be using LTE, and possibly, soon, HSPA+. The Galaxy Nexus will not be available in any different color options; only black. There is aso a 1750mAh battery aboard the deviceThe only thingI am weary of about this phone is the camera, which will be a 5MP back-facing camera, with 1080p video recording. For the front-facing camera, it wil stay pretty standard for font-facing cameras; 1.3MP. Now, the Galaxy Nexus will be running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. One new feature is FaceUnlock. FaceUnlock will be able to recognize your face to unlock the device. There will be a little different design for the lockscreen, and homescreen, but nothing mind-blowing. That's pretty much the Galaxy Nexus! So, will you be getting one of these soon? Or maybe getting an iPhone 4S? Tell us in the comments below.
