Google Nexus 7 now available in France, Germany and Spain

Google has expanded the availability of their Nexus 7 tablets to three additional markets. Users in France, Germany and Spain will now be able to purchase the Nexus 7 from the Google Play Store.

The 8GB model is priced at €199 ($249) and the 16GB model is priced at €249 ($312), which, as you can see, is a bit higher than what it costs in the US. Also, it doesn’t seem like you will get any extra credit, such as the $25 you get in the US. (Turns out you do get €20 as store credit in Europe). Lastly, the Play Store in these other countries also doesn’t have some of the contents such as magazines that you will find in its American counterpart.

Despite that, these are still good prices and many people will be glad that they now have the option of purchasing the tablet officially, extra credit be damned. Hopefully, Google will expand to other markets shortly.

Samsung I9100G Galaxy S II ICS update now available

The original I9100 Galaxy S II started getting its Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update in March, but its TI OMAP-based I9100G cousin wasn't that lucky.

Until recently that is, as we started getting user reports that the I9100G ICS update is already seeding in several countries. It seems the rollout is only enjoying limited availability for now, but hopefully it will go global in the next days or weeks.

It's good to know that Samsung hasn't forgotten all about the less popular versions of the Galaxy S II and is delivering their due ICS servings.

If you are not sure what are the differences between the two Galaxy S II versions, you should check out our comparison article.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
