Dell’s plans for a pair of new Android Ice Cream phones have found themselves unceremoniously dumped online, after the PC giant’s smartphone roadmap was leaked.

Here’s an impressive guest list: Steve Jobs, Google CEO (soon to be Executive Chairman) Eric Schmidt and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg are set to meet President Obama later today in San Francisco. While reports on Steve Jobs’ health abound, he remains scheduled to attend the high-powered summit.
The White House says the tech team are coming together to “discuss our shared goal of promoting American innovation, and discuss our commitment to new investments in research, development, education and clean energy.” So nothing too ambitious then! Obama praised Steve Jobs back in December when he used him in a speech as an example of the American dream.

The plan was spilled by Motorola’s Sanjay Jha during his presentation covering the Motorola Xoom at MWC 2011. He says: “If you look at Google Mobile services [via Android] today, there’s a video service, there’s a music service – that is, there will be a music service.” Wonder how happy Google will be that he said that…
The 3D-packing LG Optimus Pad was on everyone’s lips at MWC this week. The pure Google slate is set to be one of the main Android competitors as the Big G locks horns with Apple. And now a release date for the impressive effort has been sniffed out. Want to know when you can get hold of one? Read on.
