It looks like a few more details about the Spark Linux-based tablet have come available. And perhaps a bit nicer for those who have been waiting for this tablet to come available — it is expected to come available for pre-order as early as next week. Sadly though, the actual availability is not coming that quickly. According to new details, the Spark Linux tablet will not be available until May. In terms of where the device will be up for purchase — it looks like that will initially be limited to those in Europe and then later come for those in the US and other regions around the world. The tablet will be available in a Wi-Fi only version and running Mer, which is a community-based version of MeeGo Linux. Otherwise, the Spark tablet will have hardware features to include; - 7 inch (800 x 480) capacitive multi-touch capable display
- 1GHz AMLogic ARM Cortex-A9 processor
- Mali 400 graphics
- 512MB of RAM
- 4GB of internal storage
- microSD card slot
- Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
- 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera
- 2 USB ports
- 3.5mm audio jack

Most of us enjoy talking about and watching the Super Bowl commercials. Heck, we suspect quite a few of the GadgeTell readers will be watching the Super Bowl for nothing more than the commercials and while some are funny, some are a bit more educational. That being the case, it looks like Fullpower-MotionX will be running a commercial during the first quarter of the game and it will feature Philippe Kahn. And for those not familiar with Philippe Kahn, first shame on you, and second — he developed one of the first camera phones. With that, make sure you check out the YouTube video below for a bit more information and then make sure you keep an eye out for the commercial during the early part of todays game. Via [YouTube] 
 
It looks like a software update has come (or is coming) available for those sporting a Verizon compatible Galaxy Nexus. The update will arrive as Android 4.0.4 IMM30B and so far the details are rather scarce. What we have seen is coming from the users over on the Android Central Forums. Bottom line, it looks like only a few users have received the update notification and unfortunately — we have yet to see anything from Verizon and/or Google in terms of a changelog. But on the flip side — we have yet to see anything in terms of trouble after the 4.0.4 IMM30B update has been applied. Could be that this update is still in an early testing/roll-out stage and has only been sent for a small group of users. And lastly, if nothing else, this news of an update for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is nice to see, especially after the recent Google dropping support for CDMA devices scandal. Via [AndroidCentral]
