Rumors are already there about an upcoming Nexus 5 from Google, but it appears like there’s more in store for the existing Nexus 4 handset. According to SIDHTech, Google has plans to announce an updated version of its Nexus 4 smartphone at Google I/O next month.

The search giant will introduce the Nexus 4 with 32GB of storage and LTE support, things that customers have wanted in the Nexus 4 after it was released last year. And apparently the device is coming with compatibility for CDMA, so could be launched on Sprint and Verizon in the US.

The Nexus 4 coming in May instead of the Nexus 5 won’t be a surprise since the latter was only launched in November. It would be too soon if a successor arrives in the coming month. Also this wouldn’t be the first time that Google comes out with an updated version of a Nexus product. You might remember the Nexus 7 update that came out last October. But Nexus 5 is expected to come out this year itself, most probably in November.

And Google is also expected to unveil Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie at the May conference.

More and more devices are starting to support the SDXC standard for increased storage. This is super useful for people with DLSRs or other digital cameras, for example, but they’ve also go the SDXC happening with the even smaller microSDXC format.

If you have a smartphone or some other mobile device that is compatible with the microSDXC format, you might be interested to hear that you can get a 64GB card for $60. In particular, it’s the SanDisk Ultra microSDXC Class 10. That guarantees you a minimum sustained transfer speed of 10MB/s, but SanDisk is saying that you get speeds of up to 30MB/s.

This card is UHS-1 enabled and you can find the $60 deal on Amazon.com, including free super saver shipping. Many newer smartphones and tablets have support for microSDXC, but you’ll want to double check as many of them only support up to microSDHC.

One of the problems with the iPhone and iPad is that there is no expandable memory option. The Kingston Wi-Drive addresses this is a very unique way and it just so happens that you can now get one for up to 54% off. That’s a crazy good deal.

What you get is a device about the size of an iPod touch that comes with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of internal storage. You can load up the content via a USB 2.0 connection on your computer. Then, you turn on the Wi-Drive and it turns into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Your iPhone, iPad, or really any WiFi-enabled device can then connect to the WEP/WPA-secured hotspot and access all the files stored within. Better yet, up to three devices can connect to the same Wi-Drive at the same time. This is great for music, movies, photos and more.

The Kingston Wi-Drive can be purchased on Amazon.com for about half price, depending on your choice of capacity. The 16GB is on sale for $59.50, down from its regular price of $129.99.

According to Expansys, Samsung has indicated that it has cancelled production of the new handset. This comes by way of a post in the XDA-Dev forums, saying that this is “not good news at all.”

Realistically, I don’t think too many people will care. Most of the reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus have been positive, including BGR’s review saying it is their “favorite Android device in the world.” With that crazy Super AMOLED 720p display and Ice Cream Sandwich under the hood, what’s not to like? You know, aside from having “just” 16GB of internal storage. You’d think they would have learned from the Nexus S and put a microSD card slot in there, huh?

Dell M6500 Laptop with 32GB of RAM

Most people assume that, in general, desktop computers are more powerful than their notebook counterparts. They’ll have the bigger hard drives, faster processors, and more impressive video cards. That’s all changing, of course, and the envelope has once again been pushed; this time by Dell. What you see here is the 17″ Dell Precision M6500 laptop. It may look like any other business-styled notebook PC from Dell, but it hides quite the hefty secret inside. That’s because it has a whopping 32 gigs of RAM under the hood. That’s a lot of system memory for a desktop, but a laptop!

With that kind of memory, you should have no trouble rifling through all sorts of multitasking endeavors without skipping a beat. You’ll want to have an appropriately powerful processor in there too, as well as a good sized hard drive, but that 32GB of RAM should keep a corporate-minded smile on your face.  The people who receive your expense report, however, may question your choice to buy at $9,300 laptop. Your excuse? “It’s so I can work faster.”
