Android Ice Cream Sandwich Screenshots Leaked?

What we have just seen is said to be first screenshots of Android Ice Cream Sandwich, the next version of Google’s OS. While this entire thing is just breaking and we haven’t had the time to look ever them closely things are looking pretty tasty from here. These appear to be early beta builds of Android on the Google Nexus S. Some early reports from RootzWiki are claiming these are 100% legit and real screenshots but we will just let you decide.



The leakster claims this is a very early build that in not very stable and is still very much a work in progress. They even mention it wont be coming out this month or the next but we already have been planning on a November or Thanksgiving time frame. There is plenty of changes as well as a entire new color scheme. Gmail has been redesigned and more. We are now seeing pictures also leaked to Android Police looking very similar so this could indeed be the real deal.

According to the leak to WootzWiki there is plenty of new and exciting changes so I’m going to post them all below for you to see what they now know.
-Blue Themed
-Camera has built in panorama mode
-Will launch with Google Shopper and NFC Enabled devices will be able to utilize those features
-Gmail is all rethemed and updated
-Nexus Prime gets it first (expected) then other devices will follow after
-Not too many changes, just UI things, don’t think requirements are set too high for year old devices to run it
-The little icon in the bottom right, looks like a tray with multiple apps in it (Like Honeycomb app switching)
-Google search bar embedded on very top like Honeycomb
-Apps/Widgets launcher a lot like Honeycomb
-This release is still very early, notice the theming of the power tray
While we are excited to see all of this it does make us wonder. In the Wootzwiki picture everything has been rethemed even the icons up top and the colors are all blue, yet the power bar widget is still green, but that could just be not finished yet so who knows. I was hoping to see a Android 2.4 or maybe 3.5 in there so we knew what the next version would be. It appears this sneaky prankster or Google themselves have still not decided what they will be calling the next version of Android. We do see build number is IRK36B.
We know this isn’t a lot, but it’s better than nothing right? With so much of these photos being blacked out to protect the identity of the leak I’m starting to think it may in fact be the real deal. These are quite possibly the very first look on Android 2.4, 3.5, or 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or whatever they will call it. More pictures below.

Google Videos App Now Works on Gingerbread and Froyo Devices

Google’s Videos app was announced and released for the Motorola XOOM back at Google I/O in May, letting you rent and watch movies on the tablet, as well as on your computer. Watching it on your phone was promised, but the app wasn’t available. Until today that is. Videos has been updated in the Market and is now available for many Froyo and Gingerbread devices.



Google’s Videos app, released today for phones, lets you watch rented videos from the Android Market, as well as the videos you have on your phone. As you can see above the app is pretty sparse. There are two different screens, one displaying your rented movies and another showing the videos on your phone, with a link to the Movies section of the Android Market in the corner of both.
Renting works much the same as with tablets, and while we haven’t been able to confirm it, presumably downloading the movies will be prohibited on rooted phones as it was on rooted tablets. The work around for this has already been available on phones, which is to watch the movie on Youtube.
Watching, and sorting through your own videos in the app is a bit nicer than digging through the gallery where there are no labels though. Unfortunately, since I’m running the pre-beta version of CyanogenMod 7 for the Atrix, my videos aren’t playing with picture, but other than that the UI was a welcome improvement from the Gallery’s picture oriented design.
Whether the Movie renting feature is useful, we’ll leave up to you. The prices are a bit steep, especially with Netflix available now. If you aren’t up for renting movies, and don’t have another video playing app (outside the gallery), its a pretty handsome looking app without much else to get in the way of your video selection, but whether that’s worth the precious storage space on your phone is up to you.

Games for Google+: Angry Birds and more coming soon

Whoa, out of no where today Google has just announced Games for Google+ and already the first to tip the chart is the all mighty Angry Birds. This is one of the next big steps for Google to integrate another level of socialization into Google+ to better compete with the likes of Facebook. From Angry Birds, Decks of Cards, Diamand Dash and more. These will all be available soon for Google+.




Today Google is set to start the rollout of games to the popular Google+ Project. While I’m still not seeing anything on my own page this news was just barely released so it should be showing up shortly. The image above shows where to look as it will be there anytime now. Google is aiming to make games in G+ just as fun as during real life.
That means giving you control over when you see games, how you play them and with whom you share your experiences. Games in Google+ are there when you want them and gone when you don’t.
I can see myself having a Gamers Circle any day now, right? We should be able to see game updates as well as invites and bragging all in our stream or selected circles. You’ll be able to easily share you high score, or how many times you’ve won. Bragging rights with who has the biggest farm coming soon to Google+ I can just imagine it already. I’ll be growing G+ farms and using Facebook for the soil. Google does mention for those not interested in games your streams will continue as usual and you wont be bothered so you can focus on what matters to you.

They have a decent list of games to start with from the developers that jumped aboard at the start and some of those include: Angry Birds, Bejeweled, Zynga Poker, Diamond Dash and a few mobsters type games like Crime City. This news just came out so be sure to keep checking here for updates as well as head over to Google+ to get started. I’m sure we will all be seeing plenty of invites over the next few weeks, that is for sure.
Update: A reader over at PCMag mentioned that in order to use Google+ Games the users must allow collection of some personal data by Google like G+ account information, email address, and even users in your circles. Here is the screenshot but we have no further details on that.

Gmail App Inverted with a Black Color Theme

In the world of Android we all love tweaking and hacking our devices so I figured I’d share this quick little theme with our readers. What we have here is another blacked out app theme but this time it’s for Gmail. What we have is the latest version 2.3.5 Gmail that has been inverted to be completely black and fits in nicely with the rest of Android, not to mention could help with battery life.



Last week I posted something very similar with the Google + App being treated with the same black theme and many users really enjoyed that. The developer does mention this should work for both rooted and non-rooted phones but I’d be careful if Gmail is your main email client as things could potentially have problems. Obviously doing a nandroid backup using something like Astro to backup Gmail and settings before continuing would probably be a good idea.
I have not tried this myself so I cannot guarantee how the process will go but from reading a few replies over at XDA most seem to be able to figure it out pretty easily and are enjoying their new Black Gmail client. I’d advise anyone wanting to try this to ask any questions in the forum first and make sure you know what you are doing and have any important settings or emails backed up just to be safe, but then you can always uninstall and just get the stock Gmail from the market if needed. Give it a try and feel free to report how it goes in the comment section below — Enjoy!

Sony In-Dash Car Stereo syncs to Pandora, Comes with Android Support

After years of waiting it appears Sony will finally be launching a full line of in-dash car audio receivers that will sync with all of our favorite Android devices. Sony and Pandora Radio have partnered up to bring car stereos with Pandora Internet Radio support to Android, iOS, and even those Blackberry phones. While playing music from our favorite devices might be nothing new to in-car stereo’s doing it all wireless and with Pandora is — sort of.



The digital music service can now be accessed through four of Sony’s latest connected car stereos — the DSX-S210X, DSX-S310BTX, and even the SiriusXM compatible CDX-GT660UP and CDX-GT565UP models. The higher DSX units connect to Pandora via the smartphone application and an integrated “tune tray” with easy navigation while the other models have to go old school and use USB. Sadly only the bluetooth models will work with Android for now but this is nothing new.
Don’t forget we still have pretty great music on that one thing if you remember, called the FM radio (or AM radio for the oldies). While this new line-up from Sony is a nice change of pace and something I’ve been waiting to see for a while it wont really help many users like myself. I’ve been using Bluetooth to sync to my car stereo and stream music in my Chevy truck for like 4 years now. With Pandora Radio, Google Music and my new personal favorite Spotify, I’ve been wirelessly listening to all the music my heart desires while on-the-go over bluetooth with all of the recent Android phones I’ve owned, you just need a bluetooth enabled stereo and their is plenty of those on the market.
When I can wirelessly stream YouTube and Netflix from my Android phone to the 7″ TV in my truck, then I’ll be excited.

Nokia still ahead of Apple in smartphone sales, according to Gartner

 
Whoa there, Apple, we know you're starting to feel pretty darn good about besting Nokia and Samsung for the title of world's largest smartphone manufacturer, but hold on for just one minute. Gartner has a different idea of how the numbers game really works, and its interpretation makes all the difference in determining who earns the title. Rather than measuring the number of units each manufacturer ships out to the distributors (as IDC, ABI Research and Strategy Analytics do), Gartner gauges its numbers by how many devices were actually sold to end users instead. Thus, Nokia still keeps its title -- for one more quarter, anyways. The firm is confident Espoo won't be the top smartphone contender for much longer, thanks to the company's grim Q3 outlook as it continues to await the transition to Windows Phone. But hey, there's always Q4, right? Right? Check out the full press release after the break.
 
Gartner Says Sales of Mobile Devices in Second Quarter of 2011 Grew 16.5 Percent Year-on-Year; Smartphone Sales Grew 74 Percent

ZTE Became Fifth-Largest Mobile Phone Manufacturer and RIM Dropped to No. 6
Egham, UK, August 11, 2011-  

Worldwide sales of mobile devices to end users totaled 428.7 million units in the second quarter of 2011, a 16.5 percent increase from the second quarter of 2010, according to Gartner, Inc.

The channel built up stock at the end of the first quarter of 2011 in preparation of possible component shortages following the Japanese earthquake. As a result, sell-in demand slowed in the second quarter of 2011 to 421.1 million units, a 4.4 percent decrease from the previous quarter.

Sales of smartphones were up 74 percent year-on-year and accounted for 25 percent of overall sales in the second quarter of 2011, up from 17 percent in the second quarter of 2010.

"Smartphone sales continued to rise at the expense of feature phones," said Roberta Cozza, principal research analyst at Gartner. "Consumers in mature markets are choosing entry-level and midrange Android smartphones over feature phones, partly due to carriers' and manufacturers' promotions." However, replacement sales in Western Europe showed signs of fatigue as smartphone sales declined quarter-on-quarter.

In smartphones, Nokia's sales into the channel in the second quarter of 2011 were low. This was partly due to a very competitive market that deflated demand for Symbian, but also to inventory management issues in Europe and China in particular. The channel bought less and worked hard to reduce stock levels, partly by cutting prices on older products. These factors reduced Nokia's average selling price for smartphones, compared to the first quarter of 2011. "The sales efforts of the channel, combined with Nokia's greater concentration in retail and distributors' sales, saw Nokia destock more than 9 million units overall and 5 million smartphones, helping it hold on to its position as the leading smartphone manufacturer by volume," said Ms. Cozza. "However, we will not see a repeat of this performance in the third quarter of 2011, as Nokia's channel is pretty lean."

Samsung achieved strong growth in sales of mobile devices. For example, the Galaxy S II sold well, and this model went on to chalk up 5 million sales by the end of July. A strong performance in the smartphone market helped Samsung increase its market share, to become the third-largest smartphone vendor. However, its overall share dropped year-on-year, and grew only marginally quarter-on-quarter, mainly due to Samsung's weaker presence in more price-sensitive market segments.

Apple continued to exceed expectations, even though the iPhone 4 will soon be replaced by a new model. Part of its growth came from the 42 new carriers and 15 new countries that it entered in the second quarter of 2011, which brought its total coverage to 100 countries. This expansion caused its inventory to grow a little by the end of the second quarter of 2011, when sales to end users stood at 19.6 million units. In mainland China, Apple is the seventh-largest mobile phone vendor and the third-largest smartphone vendor.

Research In Motion's (RIM's) share of the smartphone market declined to 12 percent in the second quarter of 2011, from 19 percent a year ago. Also, the company lost its No. 5 position in the worldwide ranking of mobile device vendors to ZTE. Demand for RIM's devices in the second quarter was impaired by an aging portfolio and delays in shipping products. In the coming quarters RIM will have to deal with increased competition to its messaging offering and manage a platform migration from BlackBerry 7 to QNX.

Google and Apple are the obvious winners in the smartphone ecosystem. The combined share of iOS and Android in the smartphone operating system (OS) market doubled to nearly 62 percent in the second quarter of 2011, up from just over 31 percent in the corresponding period of 2010. Gartner analysts observed that these two OSs have the usability that consumers enjoy, the apps that consumers feel they need, and increasingly a portfolio of services delivered by the platform owner as well.

"We expect manufacturers and distributors to remain cautious about raising their stock levels in the second half of 2011, following the recent uncertainty on the world financial markets," said Annette Zimmermann, principal research analyst at Gartner. Gartner expects sales of mobile devices to grow around 12 percent in 2011.

Google Nexus One vs Google Nexus Prime (Rumours)


We see how the rumours of the Google Nexus Prime compare to its predecessor, the Google Nexus One

We take a look at the new Google Nexus Prime to see how it stacks up against the first Google-branded handet, the Nexus One.

Form and Display:
The Google Nexus One is a smart looking piece of kit. It’s very clean and minimalist with flattering proportions and nicely shaped bodywork.
The screen takes up a decent amount of space and extends quite far to the edge of the device, we always feel this improves the look of phones and tablets.
Touch sensitive buttons and an unobtrusive track-ball control compliment the overall smooth appearance and ‘premium’ feel.
An initial glance at the Google Nexus Prime and you could be forgiven for thinking not much has changed, the overall design appears much the same.
The devil is in the details though, for a start we’re expecting the phone to be a bit larger in its proportions to accommodate a bigger screen, which has been indicated as at least 4-inches, possibly larger, against the Nexus One’s 3.7-inches.
The Nexus One used an Amoled capacitive touchscreen at 480x800 pixels and a pixel density of 252 pixels-per-inch (ppi).
It sports multi-touch input, an accelerometer sensor and a track-ball. The new Nexus Prime upgrades this with a new Super Amoled HD screen and a 720p resolution.
We expect the pixel density to be ramped up too and the phone will feature multi-touch and an accelerometer.
Most notably this will be a button-less device with the screen takes up the whole handset and relying on gesture control for interface navigation.

Processor and Memory:
The Nexus One was well catered for on power and storage, a single core 1 GHz Qualcomm Scorpion processor on the QSD8250 Snapdragon chipset provides plenty of brawn, but it’s also backed up by an Adreno 200 graphics processing unit (GPU), 512MB of RAM and the same again in ROM.
Potent stuff to be sure.
However, the Nexus Prime aims to thrash it soundly with a dual core TI OMAP4460 clocked at 1.5GHz and 1GB of RAM.
No details on the GPU specifics as yet but we expect it to pack considerable punch into an already impressive setup.

Operating System:
Google’s HTC made Nexus One runs on Android 2.4 Gingerbread, while the Nexus Prime will be the first phone to use the brand new version 4.0, dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS).
First and foremost Google has said with Ice Cream Sandwich it is aiming to put an end to fragmentation across devices, and will from now on be updating directly to handsets rather than via providers or manufacturers.
It should be noted that this could mean the Nexus One will soon be running Ice Cream Sandwich too. With 2.4 Gingerbread there were a number of key changes.
Overall performance was a step up and in addition multi-tasking performance was tweaked to be even better than before, which is saying something as it was pretty good to start with.
On top of this a new app management suite was included, so not only does multi-tasking on Gingerbread work more efficiently but you also have a greater degree of control over what goes on and when with your apps.
The interface was generally polished and demonstrated the usual smooth and intuitive nature of Android systems.
In relation to this the touch keyboard was changed from a gloopy mess to something actually workable, and not far removed from Apple’s iOS touch keyboard experience in terms of responsiveness and fluidity.
Browsing is the only area where we have a problem with Gingerbread, it’s clunkier performance-wise than we would like and functionally it’s missing things like tabbed browsing.
Ice Cream Sandwich improves on Gingerbread by bringing all the enhancements Google lavished on Android tablets with the 3.0 Honeycomb build. Amongst those changes is a much happier browsing experience which is faster, has better Javascript support and features tabs.
OpenGL graphics acceleration and a custom Renderscript 3D graphics engine was added to Honeycomb so there’s a chance this too will be making its way onto ICS.
Multi-tasking was further improved on Honeycomb with the combined applications and notifications bar, which lets you quickly see messages from apps and allows you to switch between active apps rapidly.
Pop-up notificatons and alerts were improved to contain images and more detailed text info. A dual-screen contacts list with fast scrolling was also new in Honeycomb.
As well as combining features from the last two updates there are some known enhancements unique to this build.
Android will now support USB peripherals which should mean much more versatility for devices. You can now, for example, use USB gaming controllers with your phone or tablet.
Honeycomb updated the Android interface with a new look and ICS will be no different with a new app launcher, enhanced multitasking and app switching menus, a holographic user interface and scalable widgets.
Lastly, there’s a lot of interest in Google’s new face recognition and video face tracking capabilities but at the moment exactly how this will work is a little vague.

Camera:
The Nexus Prime’s camera will be a 5-megapixel primary with 1080p HD video capture capability.
Known features include autofocus, digital zoom, video calling and an as yet un-rated secondary camera, but no doubt the list will be more extensive on release.
In the meantime the Nexus One’s camera is also 5-megapixels with LED flash, geo-tagging and autofocus. The resolution is 2560Ñ…1920 pixels and video capture is DVD quality.

Apple iPhone 5 vs Google Nexus Prime (Rumours)


We take a speculative look at the iPhone 5 and Google Nexus Prime to see which has the most potential

Both Google and Apple have new handsets coming before the end of the year – they're known as the iPhone 5 and Google Nexus Prime, respectively.
But which will be the best? We take a speculative look at what to expect.
Form:
At the moment talking about the visuals and build of both these phones is like describing some mythical creature. Some internet rumours are clearly way out, even going as far as some very convincing-looking, but nonetheless clearly fabricated, 3D mock-ups of some very sci-fi looking devices.
Having said that, there are some level-headed ideas floating about.
An iPhone will of course always be instantly recognisable as such by the distinctive Apple signature style. But behind the overall consistent image there will be some aesthetic changes with the iPhone 5.
Many progressive smartphone designs are becoming thinner with each release and there’s no reason to believe this won’t continue with both the iPhone 5 and the Google Nexus Prime.
However, in the case of the iPhone 5 at least there is the distinct possibility of it getting a bit bigger in length and width to accommodate a larger 4-inch touchscreen.
With previous iPhone’s the back panel has been idiosyncratically made from the same Gorilla glass as the touchscreen, with an aluminium surround.
It wasn’t always like this though. The first iPhone had a completely aluminium back panel and rumours hint that this will return with the iPhone 5.
We’re betting the iPhone 5 will keep a physical home button, even though successive versions of iOS have incorporated more gesture navigation.
Plus all the negative reactions to the rumour that Apple might be removing the Home button have probably secured its survival for some time to come.
Not so with the Nexus Prime, it seems. Reports and sneak-peeks indicate a button-less device with a very large Samsung branded Super Amoled HD capacitive touchscreen.
Actual size is still unknown. Measures of between 4 and 4.7-inches have been mentioned and a 720p resolution is on the cards.
Other information is scarce but at this point it looks like the Prime will also be larger than its predecessor to allow such big screen technology.
In terms of overall shape and design little else appears to have changed with rounded corners and a textured back panel.

Processor and Memory:
There’s a pretty solid case for the idea that the iPhone 5 will be the first dual core Apple smartphone.
Many rumours imply it will use the same technology as the iPad 2, meaning a dual core ARM processor on the Apple A5 chipset.
A clock speed of 1GHz or more seems probable in this case, along with the iPad 2’s dual core graphics processing unit (GPU).
At the very least we’d expect the iPhone 5 to mimic its predecessor with both 16GB and 32GB options for internal storage. But as with similar high-end devices there’s the possibility of a third 64GB option too.
It would be silly to have all that power with inadequate RAM to back it up, so at least 1GB of the stuff is a more sensible prospect.
Whether the iPhone 5 will be Apple’s debut in external card storage is totally up in the air at this point – we’d hope so but we may yet be disappointed.
On the Google Nexus Prime we’re hearing a dual core TI OMAP4460 at a whopping 1.5GHz supported by 1GB of RAM and an unidentified GPU, though no doubt it will be suitably slick.
Storage space is also a mystery but 32GB seems likely with perhaps higher and lower options too.
It’s looking as though it will have external storage too with Micro SD support, there are no specifics on how much but 32GB seems pretty much standard high-end fare these days.

Operating System:
The iPhone 5 will be powered by iOS 5 – Apple's latest iteration of its mobile platform.
It’s a pretty extensive revamp, with over 200 new features Apple certainly has had plenty of new ideas to cram in.
The new Notifications Centre, no doubt inspired by Android, removes the much-lamented and intrusive pop-ups in the centre of the screen.
Now you’re getting a neat little notification bar peeking in from the screen edge. After the bar pops up it’ll slope off in short order but if you want to attend to it straight away a single tap on the message will take you to the app which spawned it.
If you’re feeling a bit more organised you can drag out the whole Notification Centre for a comprehensive list of past and present alert messages sorted by app.
You can of course also delete obsolete messages but how much control you have over deleting multiples or indeed ‘clearing all’ is uncertain right now.
Tapping on any particular alert from your message history will take you to the source. Further to this, the notifications can be accessed from the lock screen.
If messages appear while the phone is locked they have individual swipe locks, which you can use in place of the standard tab – doing so will take you to the relevant app directly.
Obviously keen to capitalise on BlackBerry Messenger’s popularity, Apple will debut its own iMessage service in iOS 5, which, just like RIM’s original, allows you to freely send text, image and video messages between Apple handsets.
Not only this but it also supports group messaging and push notifications while working on both 3G and WiFi connections. The best part is that everything you send will be encrypted.
Apple’s Mail app has also received some attention with the addition of further formatting options. Indentation settings and rich text formatting is now part of the package, allowing you to use bold, italic and underline functions.
Not content with the blinding speeds of the iOS 4 Safari browser’s Nitro Javascript engine, Apple has done a bit more tuning and squeezed yet faster speeds out of it in iOS 5.
New features are also on offer with The Reading List, a section where you can store interesting pages for postponed viewing, and Safari Reader, which lets you strip pages into raw text for cleaner, faster reading.
The Newsstand app archives all your digital newspaper and magazine subs, additionally background downloads mean you’ll never be left wondering where your new issue is.
‘PC free’ was an Apple watchword this time round. The result is that there’s no need to tether your phone to a PC or Mac to use iTunes, or indeed any other service.
Most stuff which formerly needed a computer can now be sorted directly on the device, including composing, organising and synching cloud based features such as mailboxes and calendars.
This PC free ethos extends to updates, which Apple has said will now be available over-the-air.
The Nexus Prime will be the debut handset for Google’s brand new and long-awaited Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), also known as Android 4.0.
It will be a merging of Android Gingerbread 2.3 for smartphones and Android Honeycomb 3.0 for tablets, with the best features taken from each and all wrapped up in a nice new interface.
USB support is a big step forward for the platform offering a much wider scope to devices running it – fancy using a console joypad for gaming? No problem.
We know this will be the update where Android becomes less fragmented. Google is promising to push updates out past the manufacturers and networks so you don’t have wait anymore. It should also work on most existing Android phones.
The updated interface will offer extensive new functionality. It won’t be anything drastically different from Honeycomb but there will be a new app launcher, multitasking and app switching menus, a holographic user interface and resizable widgets.
Tabbed browsing is also making the leap from Honeycomb as Gingerbread was sadly lacking in this area.
There’s also some fancy face recognition and video face tracking, which sounds fun.

Camera:
Some details on the Nexus Prime’s camera have crept through, it’s looking like a 5-megapixel primary will be used, capable of 1080p HD video capture and with autofocus, digital zoom and video calling.
There’s also a secondary camera but no details as to how powerful it will be.
Speculation on the iPhone 5’s camera is still wide open and it could go either way.
There’s the possibility of a big, feature-packed 8-megapixel primary but we’ve also been hearing rumours of an enhanced 5-megapixel camera with improved sensors

NFL Fantasy Football 2011 App Now Available


I know plenty of you readers are just like me and have been sitting home wishing and hoping the NFL would just start already. The time has finally come, the lockout ended and things are starting to get back to normal. Today in the Android Market the official NFL Fantasy Football App was released and you can get it right here. Although I play plenty of Madden during the season, I find myself playing it even more during the off-season since there isn’t any football to watch. I’ve been going big the last few weeks with excitement.


FINALLY! They can get over all that other junk and get down to real business — and that is Football. For those that love fanstasy football the official NFL app is one of the best ways to keep track of everything. Managing your team doesn’t get any easier than with the NFL app especially while on the go or if you need to make a quick change at work (Who does that? I don’t).


The official NFL Fantasy app features include:
-Join or create a league
-Check live fantasy scoring
-Sit/Start and Add/Drop players
-Propose and accept trades
-Read up-to-the minute player news
-Manage teams in multiple leagues
If you used the NFL app last year you’ll quickly notice the 2011 version has some new user interface changes, plenty of custom icons and more. Being able to quickly join leagues and get everything set up sure is nice. I’ve already got two of my own, not counting the big league with my old work buddies where most likely I’ll be winning the cash prize this year. Trust me I’m going to win just like the Packers will — Go Green Bay!
