Sony(s sne) has been pretty good about keeping many of its Android devices relatively up to date, but the Xperia Blog is reporting that a number of older phones will no longer be receiving Android(s goog) updates. And according to Sony’s support pages, these phones are listed as being on the “latest & final version” of Android software.

The phones that will no longer be receiving updates include:

• Xperia acro S
• Xperia arc S
• Xperia go
• Xperia ion
• Xperia J
• Xperia miro
• Xperia P
• Xperia S
• Xperia SL
• Xperia sola
• Xperia tipo
• Xperia U

Many of those phones are well within 18 months to two years old, and many received updates as recent as Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), which isn’t such a bad life cycle. And of the phones listed here, most never made their way to American soil. Still, it’s always a bummer to know that your device has…

You can pick up a mobile hotspot from any mobile carrier and get a decent mobile data connection in any city or town or the U.S., but that connection will disappear if on the top of mountain, a few miles into coastal waters or even in a cornfield in rural Kansas.

Both have constellation of dozens of satellites that barrel through their orbits just above the Earth’s atmosphere. If coverage is what you’re looking for, you can get a Globalstar connection in the middle of the Pacific or an Iridium link at the North Pole.

The trade off is connection speed. Forget about 4G or even 3G speeds; Data links to low-Earth…

Canadian ebook company Kobo, which was acquired by Japanese retail giant Rakuten in 2011, is replacing its founder and CEO Michael Serbinis with a Japanese executive, the company announced Tuesday. Takahito “Taka” Aiki, who was the CEO of Rakuten’s telecom company Fusion Communications, steps into the new role effective immediately, while Serbinis remains involved with the company as vice chairman.

According to Kobo’s announcement, Aiki “was responsible for the online business of Japan’s top bookstore and video rental company Tsutaya, where he helped grow its online membership by 250% in only two years” — though his LinkedIn(s IN) profile says that was from 2002 to 2004, long before the rise of ebooks. “The Kobo team is extremely talented and, working together, I look forward to driving Kobo’s leadership in e-reading,” Aiki said in a statement.

Serbinis said, “I welcome Takahito as Kobo’s new CEO, and look forward to achieving Kobo’s future…
