Looks like it’s going to be a good weekend, as we’re hearing that Verizon is beginning to receive Motorola Xoom units already. Initially only dummy units were spotted, but it looks like the real deal is hitting some stores to make way for its official debut next week. The pictures show a Motorola Xoom dummy…
We caught our first real glimpse of the Lenovo LePad, which couldn’t sound more oddly French coming from a Chinese manufacturer, at CES this year and we’re now hearing that it’s launching worldwide this June. The 10.1-inch tablet will sport Android 2.2 at launch, which is highly disappointing given the slew of Android 3.0 Honeycomb…

We bumped into Yahoo! at Mobile World Congress, and got some time with the app up-front, and personally, I was pretty impressed. It`s got smooth transitions, a variety of channels for content, good…
This won’t be much of a surprise if you’ve been following this space lately, but during a keynote at MWC, Eric Schmidt confirmed that the next version of Android will merge Gingerbread and Honeycomb together. After we heard that Honeycomb was indeed just for tablet devices, many people (including myself) thought that Google was consciously…
If you missed our live blog for HTC’s new handset lineup, you’ve got some catching up to do. However, if you’d like it short and sweet, HTC has provided a handful of “First Look” videos for most of the lineup. Here we have videos for the Flyer, Desire S, Wildfire S, Salsa, and one that…
What, you didn’t think all the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core tablets and smartphones that we’ve been seeing recently were the end-all-be-all for mobile tech, did you?
