So much so, in fact, that both manufacturers are reportedly beginning to enforce minimum pricing. The new minimum pricing scheme will allegedly “protect both the manufacturers’ margins and the retailers’ profits from...

Today at CTIA Sony dropped their two latest bombshells, the Xperia GX and Xperia SX smartphones. These (initially) Japan-only devices certainly look impressive on paper.

If the mobile gods had so chosen, the Samsung Nexus S would not have been a “pure” Google phone on in Google’s flagship Nexus line. Instead, the phone you see above, codenamed “Zeus”, was going to take the cake. (Image comes from a slide in the ongoing Oracle vs. Google trial.)
