A group of Galaxy Tab 8.9 owners couldn’t wait anymore and decided to homebrew their own Ice Cream Sandwich build for the Tab 8.9. Using files from the upcoming final build of Cyanogen Mod 9, this home cooked build is anything but final. Bluetooth, GPS, hardware acceleration and the accelerometer are  functioning, while Wifi still remains a problem.  The group is refraining from releasing builds for download at the moment, but they are promising quick updates. Check out the video preview below, but if anything, like a user comment, it seems it was recorded on a potato.

Asus has pushed the release of their Prime tablets due to issues with the stability of  Wifi chipsets on them. The Prime were the first tablets to be showcased with Androids latest and greatest Ice Cream Sandwich. The company says that “the WiFi range on the TF201 did not meet our quality standards” and will not release the tablet till it met with standards.

Asus has clarified to this issue by saying that the tablet is now being prepped to be released a week late post 19/12/11, but are still skeptical if they can implement a fix by then.

According to DigiTimes , Fujitsu will launch a 7 inch Android tablet in the 3rd Q of 2011 and will run on Android 3.1 Honeycomb. Apparantly the price of the device will be slated at less than 400 US $ or INR 18000 Approx.

More on this soon.
