Yesterday we showed you the teaser videos from Sony and a very quick hands on video with the S2. Today we bring you some very nice closeup photos of both devices. The S2 seems to be the more intriguing of the two devices with the dual 5.5-inch screens.

Xda Developer, geekfam, just released Color Confusion. This is a very good puzzle game in which you need to figure out what combination of colors need to be mixed to match the color of the paint cans. One of the best things about this game is that it is never the same game twice. You can pass a certain level, but if you play that level again, it will be different, unlike games like Angry Birds or Cut the Rope.
Head over to the source link to give geekfam some feedback. If you are looking for a simple game that challenges you, then you need to head over to the Android Market and grab this one.

From the developer:
See if you have what it takes to solve each level, by mixing a wide array of colors into cans of paint. Don’t be fooled as gameplay starts off easy, with a small number of colors. As you progress, it becomes pure Color Confusion!

Color Confusion is available in the Android Market for free, but includes only 4 levels. The paid version is .99cents which gives you more levels and eliminates the ads.

Last month, Sony released a teaser video for their upcoming S1 and S2 tablets. They just released part 2, which shows us a little more, but not a whole lot more. They are supposedly planning 3 more episodes which, I am sure, will progressively show us more. Thankfully a quick hands on video of the S2 surfaced to give us a little more of a taste as we continue to wait.
The S2 is a clamshell design that features dual 5.5-inch screens, and the S1 will be a more traditional 10-inch tablet. We expect to see them released in the fall.
Hit the jump for both parts of the Sony teasers and to see the separate video of the S2 in all its glory for 19 seconds.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab was the first mainstream Android tablet and it still is a pretty good value at $199 for the casual user. Today it gets even better as the Gingerbread update rolls out for Sprint customers.
Other than Gingerbread 2.3, there is one other fix which is for HID Bluetooth. This brings the software version to S:P100.08 S.EF17 and the build to GINGERBREAD.EF17. It will be released in stages, and all devices should have the update within 4 days.

Of course, if you don’t feel the need for HTC’s Sense, you can hold tight for the Samsung Galaxy S II. Check out the comparison battle.

We already know that the Droid Bionic passed the FCC last week, so we projected the launch date to be somewhere between July 28th – August 18. It looks like we are right on target because the above leaked image shows August 4th, but we are hoping there still might be a chance that direct fill orders will start July 28th. The long drawn out saga of the Droid Bionic will finally be over soon folks. The question is will this phone live up to the hype?
You will also notice that the Droid 3 is confirmed again for the July 14th launch. Expect an official announcement on that any day now since direct fill starts in two days.

Nobody can disagree with the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S was one of the most successful Android phones in terms of sales. When the Galaxy S II was announced, we knew it was also going to be successful, but could they improve on those unbelievable numbers? So far, the answer is yes as it took them 55 days to sell their first 3 million units. The original Galaxy S took an extra month to accomplish the same total. Now all they need is to get Apple off their backs.
Press release after the break.
Google showed off their movie rental service back in May at I/O, but only launched it for the XOOM. It was originally supposed to be for Honeycomb 3.1 devices, but non of the other Honeycomb 3.1 devices have access to it.
We do have an interesting development as some people saw the application in the Android Market briefly last night and were able to download it. Looks like they may be making this a widespread application soon. Of course, it will only be available for non rooted devices. No word on availability, but we will let you know as soon as we hear more. Check out the video of it running on a Nexus S after the break.

The Droid Bionic has been a long drawn out saga. It was supposed to be out at the beginning of the 2nd quarter, then it was cancelled, and it was eventually replaced by a completely different device. We are expecting it to launch this summer and it looks like it is getting closer.
A Motorola device with LTE and CDMA just passed though the FCC yesterday. Although we cannot confirm for sure that it is indeed the Droid Bionic, we know of no other Motorola LTE phone. The big question is when will it be released? The Droid 3 passed through the FCC June 15th and the launch is July 14th. The Droid X2 was a little longer. We should see this dual-core LTE beast released somewhere between July 28th and August 18th.
