RUMOR: ANDROID 4 "ICE CREAM SANDWICH" PHONE COULD LAUNCH IN OCTOBER

Google’s third-generation “Nexus Prime” smartphone, which will likely be the first Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” phone to hit the market, will launch in October according to a new report from Korean-language Electronic Times. This new report from Electronic Times reaffirms several specs reported earlier, such as the device’s 720p Super AMOLED HD display, and it narrows our fall release time frame to October.

The report also claims that the Prime will be powered by a 1.5GHz processor, jibing with earlier report stating the device would employ an OMAP4460 chipset. The site also notes that the Prime’s display will include a 4.5-inch panel with a PenTile layout.
