Hong Kong has many great things to offer: fantastic food, scenic city scenes, excellent public transportation and the warmth of over crowding (?). One that may even top this list is the massive electronics scene. An example of this greatness is the latest version of Android - 4.0 AKA Ice Cream Sandwich - that was spotted on a smartphone at an electronics event recently held in this fine city. From what we can gather in terms of improved features from the older versions are as follows: (click after the break)

The HP TouchPad's steal price of $99 resulted in an tsunami of sales which put WebOS into the hands of many, but that wasn't enough, or rather WebOS wasn't enough. The people wanted more, and more they shall have. Through the skills of developers, Android started appearing on the tablet - slow but steady. We've already blogged about the progression of having the Android Touchscreen working, well now we've got more. Find out what after the break.
Thanks to the CyanogenMod 7 ROM, there's now a working Google Android Marketplace despite its slightly skewed main page due to the 9.7-inch screen of the tablet - what evs', it still works!

Every since the TouchDroid team managed to boot Android on the HP TouchPad, they've been hard at work to get the tablet fully functional with its new OS. Well they've taken a step closer towards that goal by enabling the touchscreen. Not only that, they've also managed to get it working with 10 point finger-touch input - a most impressive feat. Although the TouchDroid team still have their work cut out for them as there's still no confirmation on whether the tablet's other features will be compatible with Android or not, such as GPS, WiFi Radio, etc. Still, it looks like the biggest hurdles have been passed. Check out the video below showing the TouchPad's 10 point finger-touch response after the break.

Android Honeycomb already looks pretty darn good on a tablet, but it can now look so much better. There are new downloadable HD widgets designed for Android and purchasable from the Marketplace that will make your desktop look so much better than it did before - given that you own a Honeycomb tablet. The HD widgets and wallpapers are crisp, clear and as stated, in high definition and judging by the above picture, looks fantastic. In fact, you may even remember it from the Vortex Galaxy Live wallpaper blog we did a while back. Check out more about them after the break.
The screenshot above shows another example of the many options you can choose from which ranges in colour, size, background, clock type and many more customizable features for your personal preference. There are even
