The Apple rumour mill is already gearing up ahead of WWDC this year, with stock trackers the first line in the new-product guessing game.

I'm not sure if it's actually better looking in white or not, but apparently Android and Me has one physically in hand. The white Nexus 4 is supposedly a carbon-copy of the black version we know and love, just with a white body and Android 4.3 (no LTE mentioned). Take with a pinch of sodium chloride for now, but surely everyone who's likely to want a Nexus 4 has already bought one? [Android and Me] Read More >>
Google's apparently just managed to sign up all the music labels for its streaming service, ready to unleash its assault on Spotify later this evening, beating Apple to it in the process too. No word if it'll be fired across the water to the UK from the off (probably not), but if you're truly tied heart-and-soul into Google, you might want to ditch Spotify for it? [The Verge] Read More >>

Word on the street is that Google's incoming unified messaging service has ditched its Babel moniker. According to a source talking to TechRadar it will hit our handsets simply called Google Hangouts, which already exists, so isn't really new, then?

A couple of the largest phone shops in the UK have stopped stocking Google and LG's sweet Nexus 4, with both Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U no longer listing it. This has led people who like to think about things to think it means a Nexus 5 launch at next week's Google I/O event is practically guaranteed. Read More >>
