To help show how easy it is to take great pictures using the new camera, Olympus gave out over 1000 cameras to more than 1000 people, and created a website http://penready.com to showcase the pictures that these people took.

Google has said the the Nexus S will receive ICS sometime in the near future. (could be months?) The awesome developers over at XDA have, yet again taken matters into their own hands and ported the SDK release to the Nexus S and also the Nexus One.
As you can see, the screen shots show off Android 4.0. But they do not prove that ICS is actually running on the Nexus S. I do not believe that anyone on XDA would try to pull a fast one…so I would believe that this is 100% correct. The video below helps to convince.
The ROM shown in this video runs particularly smooth. This bodes well for those of us excited by the prospect of getting this running on our phones soon.

Here is a cool Halloween Live Wallpaper for your Android (2.1+) device. I say device because Android is no longer limited to Phones as you can see with the numerous Android tablets on the market.
This Halloween Live Wallpaper has an interactive function that can be activated by enabling the ‘Animation’ function. Clicking on some of the Jack-O-lanterns will light them up.
The image above shows the stretch across your Android screens and is also nearly big enough to use as a standard desktop wallpaper at 1280X800.
