A couple years ago, those of us in the United States didn't know much about Huawei. As 2012 moves on, we're starting to see this company in the news a lot more. Huawei is creating the next line of myTouch phones on T-Mobile, and also claims to have one of the world's thinnest smartphones in the Huawei Ascend P1. Huawei is looking to spread its influence even further by investing around $4.5 billion to research and develop tablets and smartphones that don't necessarily need to be touched.

The idea of gaming themed Android devices is nothing new, especially since we have the Xperia Play along with a few other Playstation Certified devices along with GameStop tablets with their controllers. the fact is mobile gaming is a huge industry already and it is still growing. Archos sees this and is planning on developing a gaming-centric Android tablet to cater to mobile gamers.

We've reported on a couple cheap Android 4.0 tablets in the past week including the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the Ematic eGlide Prism. Today, a New York company called XTEX is getting in one the action with its new tablet called the XTEX My Tablet 7. XTEX is selling this device on its website for $149.99.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is pretty tempting at $249, but there's another Android 4.0 tablet available that's even cheaper than that. The tablet you see here is called the Ematic eGlide Prism. It's being sold for $157.16 from Shop NBC. I'd understand if you cringed just now, but let's give this tablet a fair shake before condemning it.

There was a time when just about any brand name Android tablet would be priced ridiculously high. Manufacturers believed for one reason or another customers would pay $500+ for an Android tablet just because it worked for the iPad. They of course, were wrong. Android tablet pricing is at a race to the bottom and Amazon is in the lead. Perhaps Samsung's Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 will become a close second?

Bigger really does mean better for the folks at Toshiba. The company recently announced a few new tablets that will be released starting in May. Toshiba will have the normal 7.7 and 10-inch Excite tablets, but it will also sell another tablet with a massive 13.3-inch screen on June 10 for $649.99 (32GB).

We have talked about nVidia's next generation of the Tegra series of chipsets a few times already and now we have a leaked roadmap of when we can expect to see the Tegra 4 to land in Android device. Along with that, we also now know that it will be sporting the same 4-plus-1 quad-core structure with ARM Cortex A15s instead of A9s.

Amazon Wireless has been steadily growing in popularity when it comes to grabbing a new Android device. With competition from other similar services, Amazon has done a pretty good job at establishing themselves as one of the major sites to buying Android devices. It's been in beta for awhile now but today marks the dropping of those beta tags.

Following our previous story about nVidia talking about their new Kepler GPU which is their new 28nm GPU chip that has started making an appearance in their new GTX 680 PC card. We also mentioned in that article that they plan to bring it to mobile devices as well.

All the chip manufacturers are out in full force this GDC and even though the show floor doesn't open till tomorrow, a couple of companies had a few demos rolling at tables during the current Smartphone and Tablet Gaming Summit at GDC 2012.

So fresh off of the press is a new rumor which Android and Me are reporting on regarding the rumored Google's 7-inch Nexus Tablet that would be selling for $199 when it is released, if it actually exists. According to two reliable sources that Android and Me spoke with at MWC 2012, Asus will be the company building the device.

Gameloft has announced that it will be bringing support for Intel-based Android devices to some of their most popular HD games currently available. If you plan on buying an Intel-based Android device when they start hitting the market soon, at least you will have a few games already supported.

Our friends over at nVidia just sent us some information regarding the Icera modem that will be integrated into Tegra chipsets. According to the information, the new Icera modems will allow of multiplayer gaming over a live LTE network.

Our friends over at nVidia have told us that they have coined a new term, or slogan if you will, to describe the Tegra 3 quad-core chipset which is actually five cores in total and not four. The fifth core, which is essentially the power management core, has been referred to using many different terms.

If you haven't noticed by now with the internet full of upcoming MWC 2012 news, this event is drawing near and the closer it gets, the more information is getting out about various Android devices whether it is through a leak or a company teasing a new product.

We don't usually talk about specific components of Android devices often here but once in awhile there is the exception and this is one of those times. Why? Because your next Android phone, whether it is from Samsung or elsewhere, could be a lot faster than originally thought.

Well here is something right out of left field this morning. Apparently HTC will be working on Playstation certified Android devices this year, at least according to sources that has confirmed this in a report by Pocket-Lint. Even though it is 'confirmed' by sources, we are throwing the rumor tag on this one.

One bane of Android gamers is when a game is released and their device isn't supported. About 90% of the time, the game in question will actually run fine on any particular device in question, it is just that for whatever reason a developer has chosen not to support that particular device. At least not that the current time you are trying to download it.

If you’ve been keeping count on the continuing saga of Samsung and Apple paten wars then add a point on the scoreboard for the Korean giant. According to a Bloomberg report, the Cupertino based company’s latest attempt to ban the newly redesigned Galaxy Tab, 10.1 N and Galaxy Nexus was dismissed by the German court.

For those that currently own the Transformer Prime may want to brace your selves: ASUS may soon release a device to replace Prime. While this might sound like the updated Prime Asus announced back at CES that apparently isn’t the case.

Imagine this: Gameloft releases a brand new trailer for Modern Combat, Modern Combat 6: World War Space, and suddenly you find yourself brimming with sweat and your mouth strangely dry.The graphics induce uncontrollable eye twitching and that new gameplay mode renders your jaws grounded and mopping the floor (while knowing touchscreen control is terrible, but you’ll play it anyway).

We mentioned in our recap of the nVidia press conference that they quickly showed Skyrim being played on an Asus Transformer Prime through the use of the upcoming THD version of the Splashtop Remote Desktop application which will be available specifically for Tegra-based Android devices soon.

One of the first items we walked right into when the doors open yesterday was the Intel booth and there they had a prototype of their upcoming Intel Android tablet. Coming from Lenovo, this particular tablet will be running Ice Cream Sandwich when it is released.

For those of you who were unable to tune into the live streaming of the nVidia Press Conference, there was a lot of talk about Tegra 3. While most of it was information we already knew, nVidia announced a few interesting new features.

For those of you who haven't pre-ordered an Asus Transformer Prime it may have been a good thing to have waiting as Asus has unveiled a new design for the Tegra 3 quad-core tablet, sporting a higher resolution (1920x1200) over the original 1280x800.
