Google will release an updated version of Google Maps for Android today, The New York Times reports. Conveniently timed for the release date of iOS 6 — which marks the debut of Apple's new mapping system and the removal of Google Maps from the iPhone — Google is strengthening its Android maps offerings with new features like the ability to sync Google Maps across devices.

While the two phones look almost identical externally, inside the new device houses a new Intel Atom processor. The chipmaker says this is its first with a maximum clock speed of 2GHz, but that number is far from a cut-and-dry measure of the chip's performance, and the claim should be...

LG Optimus G Korea

LG has confirmed that its next flagship Android phone, the Optimus G, will be launching in the US this November.
