Nexus 4 is the best smartphone deal on the planet. $299 (8GB) or $349 (16GB) for an unlocked flagship smartphone is simply unheard of. The freedom to run it contract-free is icing on the cake.

Many looking to upgrade their Androids might opt for the slightly larger Galaxy Note II, or, do what I did and jump on a LG Nexus 4 direct from Google.

While Amazon is going larger with the Fire HD, Apple thought small when it unveiled the iPad Mini ($329). Google, meanwhile, has been broadening its Nexus portfolio of mobile devices, unveiling a line-up featuring 4.7- ($299), 7- ($199), and 10-inch ($399) displays.

Google's svelte Nexus 4 (LG) is enjoying the limelight, but Verizon is looking to spoil the Android party with the monstrous Droid DNA (HTC).

Mobile platforms from Google (Android) and Apple (iOS) continued to dominate; combined, the two control over 86% of the market.

By installing Google's Jelly Bean ROM (Android 4.1) and Nova Launcher, I was able to breathe new life into my two-year-old Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 tablet.

Nexus 4 is here. Sporting a gorgeous 4.7-inch IPS display, S4 Pro processor, and glass panels, the new flagship Android impresses. But is it worth upgrading from the 2011 Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

Decision: You have $1,200 and want some mobile mojo. Do you go Apple and buy a MacBook Air? Or do you go Google and buy a Nexus 4 phone, Nexus 7 tablet, Nexus 10 tablet and Chromebook?

Joining the already popular Nexus 7 tablet, is a new larger 10-inch version dubbed the Nexus 10, and a new LG Nexus 4 smartphone.

Nexus 10 which will be Google's first Nexus-branded 10-incher is shaping up to be quite the beast. Of all the leaked specs, the one that really leaps out is the rumored screen resolution: 2560 x 1600 resolution. That bests even Retina iPad.
