If you have managed to stand steadfast in your resolve not to pick up an Android-powered or iOS device over the years, simply because your loyalty to the Windows Phone platform proved to be too strong, then you are in good hands if you throw your lot with AT&T as the mobile carrier is said to offer the Nokia Lumia 920 over at their network from November 11th onward.

I guess this means the good people over at Italy will be getting their Nokia Lumia 920 a day later after us folks at the US, considering how there are other sources online that do mention Italian carrier TIM will be rolling out the Lumia 920 on November 12th across the pond. The Lumia 920 is shaping up nicely to be an AT&T exclusive Stateside, where it will come in a trio of colors with a starting price of $149.99 that will be accompanied by a new two-year contract. Which color would you prefer your Lumia 920 to come in?

According to Jack Tong, the General manager of HTC North Asia, he announced at a press event earlier today that the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update will begin to make its rounds for their high end smartphone known as the HTC One X from today onwards. Not only that, Tong added that the mid-range HTC One S will not be left out sometime down the road, although a more specific time frame was not listed. Just what will Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean bring to the HTC One X? For starters, how about the most recent Sense user interface version, which is actually HTC’s skin on top of the Android operating system to facilitate an easier and more user-friendly experience?

If you happen to own the HTC One X and have yet to see the Android 4.1.2 operating system update arrive on your handset, we would suggest you play the patience card and wait for it. After all, it could very well be a staggered rollout, so patience is the keyword here.

It’s time to get ultra-powerful with the Google Nexus 10, a tablet made by Samsung whose details have been spilled essentially in full in both a couple of photos and details galore today. This device has been manufactured by Samsung and does not appear to be all that far away from the Galaxy Note 10 or the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 in its form, but its innards are all new and fabulous. The folks at BriefMobile have let this chicken loose in the farmyard with the photo of the front you see here and the screenshot details you see below, they coming complete with Android 4.2 – the next generation Google mobile OS.

This update to the operating system does not appear to be making a whole lot of aesthetic changes from what we’ve seen thus far, instead focusing on new functionality in the environment we’ve already seen in 4.1 Jelly Bean. As far as the innards of the device we’re seeing here, great things appear to be in the pipe. Starting with a 10.1-inch AMOLED display with 2,560 x 1,600 pixel resolution, we’re right in on the high definition universe finally here with the standard Google Nexus. That’s 298.9 PPI, by the way, more than the current hero iPad at 263.92 – we’ll see how they really compare soon.

The Nexus 7 will play second fiddle to this beast if indeed these specifications turn out to be true, what with none other than the 1.7GHz Samsung Exynos 5250 sitting inside to power it. This processor is a dual-core bit of architecture – but before you have a heart attack over it having less cores than the Galaxy Note II, note this: it’s Exynos 5, and likely going to be the same chip that appears in the Series 3 Chromebook we just reviewed from Samsung. If this is indeed true, this tablet will have real hardcore computing power without a doubt.

Also inside is 16GB of internal storage, NFC, Wi-fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a 5 megapixel camera on the back. The front-facing camera is more than likely 1.5 megapixels strong or better and ready for some Google+ hangout action. The GPU inside this beast will likely be the Mali-T604, and you’ll have 2GB of RAM ready to rock.

It’s likely that we’ll be seeing this machine on the 29th at the Android event that’s also been teased to be opening “the playground” with more Android fun than you can shake a stick at. This means we’ll probably be seeing the Nexus 4 as well, and probably a bit more software than we’ve seen in leaks thus far.

Check the timeline below for some more expansion on the Nexus rumors that have appeared over the past few weeks and also hit up our Android portal for sweet Google mobile OS excellence. Also note that we will definitely be at the Android event on Monday with bells on – lots of action coming up!

Assuming you have just made the migration to the Windows 8 operating system, you might find the entire experience a wee bit disoriented. After all, it does take some time to get used to a new operating system, and Windows 8 is no different. Some folks who do rely on Google’s suite of apps might want things to work as they did before, which is why Google has shared just how one is able to get their Google experience back, so to speak. The team over at Google designed and built a new Google Search app and Chrome browser for Windows 8, while setting up a simple site so that you can, in essence, “get your Google back.”

The Google Search app sports a clean and recognizable user interface at first glance, and the newly integrated voice search will allow you to naturally speak questions. Thanks to touchscreen sensitivity, its image search and image previews have been specially constructed and programmed for such interfaces, and you will also receive immediate results as you type with Google Instant.

The Chrome browser will remain as it is, although there are some customizations thrown into the mix for touchscreen use, such as larger buttons as well as the option to keep Chrome open next to your other favorite apps.

Unless we’re looking at one of the most elaborately photographed fakes in the world, this is the Nexus 10. With the Nexus 7 apparently going over quite well at just $199, it was only ever a matter of time before the Nexus family expanded to house a 10-incher. With Google’s own Vic Gundotra posting images from a unit that he’s using at some exotic locale, it seems that another unit has slipped beneath the camera at BriefMobile. The site has managed to apprehend one of the 10.1-inch slates, and in turn has discovered quite the bounty of information.

Internally, there’s (reportedly) a dual-core, Cortex-A15-based 1.7GHz Samsung Exynos 5250, a Mali-T604 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (though no microSD expansion slot), a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, NFC / WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and a Super AMOLED panel with a drool-worthy 2,560 x 1,600 screen resolution — yeah, that’s well into “Retina” territory at 298.9 pixels per inch. You may recognize that Exynos 5250 from Google’s recently released $249 Chromebook, but here, it’s being used to push Android 4.2. Those hungry for more can visit the source link, but don’t go in hoping to extract an asking price.

Update: Well, if the pictures weren’t enough, BriefMobile has just popped a five-second long video of the device, which you can glance at after the break. Don’t get too excited, however, as it’s merely just someone going from the home screen into Chrome.
