We have read reports re the possibility of this happening, and a UK tech site wrote something that is 'interesting'. What intrigued me was this comment 'One of Google’s challenges will be to link the phone to mobile networks so that the company’s services can be offered not just over wi-fi-connected broadband, but also over a 3G link to the internet, resulting in a real call-from-anywhere device.'

Great news! US residents now can get turn by turn voice navigation on their google maps! Go and get the latest version already from the market! The only requirement is for you to have 1.6 as your operating system. If you have no donut, you will not be able to run this unfortunately! Update your app if you have not already

The Chinese Mini 3i variant is quadband GSM/EDGE only (no 3G) and packs a 3.5-inch nHD, 640x360 touchscreen display just like that found on Nokia's N97. The 58.35 x 122 x 11.7-mm OPhone will ship in "Red Passion" and "Oiled Bronze" colors packing Bluetooth, a 3 megapixel auto-focus camera with flash and video capture mode, microSD slot, and GPS with pre-loaded maps. And in case you're wondering why China first, that's easy: Dell's going after China Mobile's 500 million subscriber base when its first handset hits authorized stores later this week.

Another bombshell to drop out of Sony’s recent Investor/Analyst Meeting was the revelation of an upcoming online store called the “Sony Online Service.” While the name is tentative, the features Sony are planning for it aren’t and we should expect it sometime in 2010. But what does “Sony Online Service” really mean? Is it just the infrastructure of the Playstation Network with a new name and more multimedia? Hardly. This isn’t just another competitor to iTunes – its far beyond that.

Yesterday, Sony Ericsson held a Press Event in Sweden to demonstrate their upcoming first Android Phone, the Xperia X10. We’ve got video from that event to give you a glimpse of what it was like, but more importantly some juicy details about the device are starting to emerge:

While the tech world has been waiting for Apple, Microsoft, and even TechCrunch to introduce their tablets, a company called Camangi has gone ahead and released its own device: The WebStation is a 7-inch touchscreen tablet that runs Android 1.5. The device features 802.11 b/g WiFI, a GPS module, and a built-in micro SD Card Reader.

Sharp executive Masami Ohbatake announced the upcoming release of an Android device, possibly as early as the first half of 2010. No device details or carriers were mentioned, however, Ohbatake did indicate that Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo "is expected to be first in line".

China-based ZTE Corp. is planning the lauch of an Android device in 2010. Better known for manufacturing low-cost telecom equipment, ZTE Corp. is currently in negotiations with major U.S. and Europena carriers, including Verizon, Vodafone Orange and T-Mobile.

As reported here, it was coming, today images and specs suddenly dropped from tipsters! Let's have a look at the blurry photograph. Apparently Motorola have made applications to trademark the name 'backflip' which could be the name for this new beast.

Android and me also got a spec sheet from the tipster

Artem informed us that Sprint has pushed out some important updates for the Sprint Hero with the issues it has had since launch. If you haven't got it yet try and dial *#*#checkin#*#* from your dialer and check back to see if your update started pusing.
