Earlier today BGR reported a juicy rumor from an unnamed source. The rumor sheds some light on what could be another variant of the Google Nexus One coming down the pipe.

Rumored ‘Palm Pre Plus’ Spotted in WiFi Certification Database?
If nothing would make you happier than a Palm Pre or Pixi on Verizon, keep reading. First we heard about some webOS training for Verizon staffers.

Cellular South to Unveil Android 2.0 for the Hero in ‘First Half’ of 2010
Similar to Sprint’s plans for the Hero (and Moment), Cellular South is due to launch Android 2.0 on the HTC Hero in the new year. While Sprint’s plans gave us the vague ‘it’s coming in the first half of 2010’, I was somewhat hopeful we’d get a little more specific with this one. Sadly, my…
Ford SYNC to Include Wi-Fi Sharing
The Ford sync had a big presence at last year’s CES, touting all sorts of connectivity, but one especially impressive feature is yet to come: mobile internet.

Sweetness: Nexus One Boot Animation Video
If you’ve been ‘off the grid’ for the past few days (like myself… oh, what a nice break!), you may have missed some pretty darn big news coming out of the Google (NSDQ: GOOG)/Android world. News that involves a new device dubbed the ‘Nexus One‘. I’m not going to get into the details of the…

‘FartGlobe’ To Usher in New Era of Useless Fart Apps
When it comes to Fart apps, the Apple App Store takes the cake. Or in this case, takes the stink. Surely Apple wears this badge with honor and dignity… and today, I received note that solidifies Apple’s position as the kingpin in Fart App technology. A new app is almost ready to pop into the…
