It has finally happened, folks. The Menu button is officially dead. The Android team at Google just announced that Android no longer requires a dedicated Menu button. Of course, that doesn’t mean that some OEMs won’t try to stick it on their devices. But for all Google cares, the dedicated Menu button is a thing of the past. And in just a few months, all Google-approved Android devices will launch without it. @Yungjohnnybravo @TatWZA

Tech Talk News: HTC And IBM Strike Partnership In The Enterprise
HTC and…Â IBM? Yep. Two seemingly unrelated companies are coming together, with a recent TechWeekEurope report noting that IBM and HTC have “struck up a partnership that could make the Taiwanese phone maker a major enterprise player.” In the enterprise, RIM has traditionally had a strong grip on smartphone buyers, with the iPhone making a serious push since 2007. Android hasn’t seen too much adoption in the enterprise, largely because of security questions and hackability. But HTC is hoping to change that, and also change those profit margins that have been sinking. @Yungjohnnybravo @TatWZA
