For those who were interested in seeing how Android was going to do over the Holiday Season this year, Andy Rubin has your answer. Andy Rubin co-founder of Android announced on his Google Plus webpage that on the 24.12. and the 25.12. 3.7 million Android devices were activated and then congratulated the Android Team on the good work they have done. Those numbers definitely aren’t too shabby and as reported by Android Central these figures only include new devices which have been bought from a store and then activated, not second-hand devices.

The Android team have created a little video for everyone out there to spread some holiday spirit and have posted it up on their Android YouTube Channel. You’ll see snippets of the new Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) at work within the short clip as well as some glimpses of the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus. We hope you all enjoy this great little clip from those at Android and from everyone here at 24android we wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is starting too make the rounds with leaked pictures of a HTC Sensation device running on the new updated version of Android.

The update to Android 4.0 is expected to be released early next year.

Amazon has announced in a press release in the U.S. that they are currently selling more than 1 million Kindle devices every week (which includes eReaders and the Amazon Kindle Fire). As reported by BGR Amazon has announced that the Amazon Kindle Fire is the most successful product they have every launched and has been the best selling product across all of Amazon for the past 11 weeks. And apparently demand has been increasing as Christmas gets ever closer with the sales numbers for the device rising over the past three weeks. The Amazon Kindle Fire is scheduled for release in Australia and the United Kingdom next month.

Earlier this year towards the end of September, Toshiba announced a 7 inch version of its Thrive Tablet, and now the device has landed in the U.S. There are two models being released one with a 16 GB of internal memory at $379.99 and a 32 GB version for $429.99. The device has been launched with Android 3.2 (Honeycomb), as for an update to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) we may just have to wait for a official announcement to be made. Below is a short video which takes a closer look at the device.

A new white version of the Galaxy S 2 HD LTE is set to be released in South Korea. The device will have a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED HD-Display, a 1.5 GHz dual core processor and a 8.0 megapixel camera. However for the rest of us around the world we will have to wait and see whether Samsung release the device to other markets around the world. If it sells well in South Korea we could be in with a chance, cross your fingers.

Currently the first Android Amazon Tablet is only available in the U.S., however there may be a change in the wind soon, with suggestions that the device could arrive in the U.K. January 2012. The website Know Your Mobile the one being who initially reported this has cited a close source to Amazon. According to the report the device will be available shortly after New Years in the United Kingdom and the price could sit around £199. The fact that the U.K. could have been chosen as the second market to recieve the device is completely plausible however we will have to wait for an official statement to confirm whether this is true or not, and if it is true that shouldn’t be too far away.

ASUS announced in 2011 that they intended to enter the tablet arena, with three new Android devices, two of those being the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer and the ASUS Eee Pad Slider have since been released, with the third the ASUS Eee Pad MeMo being postponed.

For several years now a partnership between LG Electronics and Prada the fashion label has existed, and will continue to operate into 2012 with the duo intending to release a Prada smartphone next year.
