Once upon a time there was a leaked memo regarding Verizon beginning to load “a suite of Amazon apps preloaded on one dedicated home screen for all newly launched Android devices.” Wit the launch of the HTC Droid DNA, we now now exactly what that entails.

AT&T to sell Nokia Lumia 920 for $449.99 without contract
AT&T’s (T) Windows Phone 8-powered Nokia (NOK) Lumia 920 is very affordable at $99.99 as long as you’re willing to bite the bullet with a two-year contract. But as it turns out, AT&T will also be selling the Lumia 920 without any commitments for $449.99 with preorders ready to go. BGR reviewed the Lumia 920 and concluded that it is a great phone, albeit a bit too heavy, but Windows Phone 8 still lacks a strong catalog of apps and compelling differentiation. AT&T’s website didn’t provide any details on whether or not the Lumia 920 would include a wireless charging plate if purchased at full price, or when the off-contract phone would ship.

Google is trying to end the debate over which mobile browser works best for Android by releasing the mobile version of its popular Chrome browser to the Google Play store on Wednesday. The Android version of the browser had been in Beta until Wednesday and is currently only available for devices that have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher.
