Way too much hay has been made over Google and Samsung’s decision to postpone Tuesday’s Nexus/Ice Cream Sandwich event at CTIA in San Diego. It’s disappointing, to be sure — especially to those of us who were going to be there. Samsung and Google events, separately, are something to experience. Put them together, and, well, we can only imagine. But it’s also disappointing for everyone else, as the event was to be streamed live, for everyone to see it, and not just those lucky enough to be in the room. That’s very openy of Google, ain’t it?

It’s been a chaotic day with things starting off bright and early this morning but — we’re heading into the weekend. A long weekend for some folks with it being Thanksgiving in Canada and Columbus day for the US. A perfect time to get caught up on all things Android,

The Fed-Ex man just dropped off something I’ve been itching to get my hands on — the T-Mobile Galaxy S II.  For all intents and purposes, it’s the same Galaxy S II we’ve seen across the rest of the world, with a few extras — a 4.52-inch display, and an HSPA+42 modem.  We have to get down and dirty with it for a bit to know the in’s and out’s, but there’s no way we would make you guys wait for a quick preview of what may be the best smartphone T-Mobile has ever carried.  Hit the break for the details, some video love, and a handful of pictures.

The fellows at Android Police have their hands on a couple new apps from the Ice Cream Sandwich build that’s floating around out there (how ’bout a dump for the community, Mr. Anon?), and with it comes with new Google Music and Google+ apps.  The new music app has a bit of a UI makeover, with more sleek (and less screen real-estate wasting) controls, most noticeable in the “now playing” screen, and a search button has been included since ICS has no dedicated search key.  It appears that everything we know and love about Google Music is there, but in a more refined package.
