Google updates Verizon Nexus page, 32 GB internal storage is back

For those of you pining away for the latest Nexus phone to arrive on Verizon, it’s been a roller-coaster of rumors the last few days. Perhaps the most disheartening was when Google updated its product pages and eliminated the 32 GB model of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, leaving only a 16 GB version. Much panic ensued on enthusiast sites – many consumers feel that the lack of removable storage isn’t a big deal as long as a generous amount of internal storage is provided. After all, iPhone owners have been making this tradeoff for years. But the specter of only having 16 GB of internal storage had many people questioning whether this would be enough.

Google’s product page also confirms the larger battery size that had been rumored – the LTE-enabled Verizon model will have an 1850mAH battery instead of the 1750mAH version in the GSM model. There may be one more differentiator for the Verizon model: the name. As reported earlier, both Amazon and Best Buy have now been caught referring to the Verizon model as the Nexus Prime. Nothing is official until we hear an announcement, but the Nexus Prime name was quite popular so it's not unthinkable that Verizon would want to use it.

Motorola stockholders approve Google buyout

The Motorola Mobility stockholders met today and voted to approve the buyout by Google. Although,the deal isn't free to proceed, because the U.S. Department of Justice is still reviewing the plan.

Motorola Mobility has said that the meeting represented about 74% of total outstanding shares in the company, and that "approximately 99 %" voted in favor of the buyout by Google. That is a pretty overwhelming majority of votes. Still, we'll have to wait and see if the government finds reason why this acquisition shouldn't take place.
