Google has to get the nexus one out soon or else if the iPhone comes out they will have more competition. There's word that the iPhone will be available soon but there's not a confirmation on that yet.

The Nexus One is 0Ne of the few smartphones in the US which will officially hit all four major carriers in the country. Google is already selling the Android superphone with T-Mobile and AT&T 3G networks inside, while Sprint and Verizon will get it soon enough. We’ve just received a tip from an inside source wh0 claims that the Nexus One is coming at Verizon by the end of next week, ahead of the HTC Incredible. He added that the Verizon Nexus One is not different from its T-Mobile counterpart and it doesn’t have the cool HTC Sense UI.

We cannot C0NFIRM the Verizon Nexus One release date, but we’ve got t0 say that we trust this tipster as he hasn’t once failed in delivering the goodies. Were expectingVerizon to make an official announcement in one week time, hope-fully, , more details coming soon!

Thanks

Leaked: android 2.1 sprint release date

android 2.1 sprint release date, Lastly there are confirmed news about, android 2.1 release date.
the last leaked info about the release date of android 2.1 sprint is confirmed.
Samsung Moment and HTC Hero owners will be excited to learn that Sprint plans to roll Android 2.1 out to their customers in the "coming weeks".


Sprint has C0NFIRMED an Android update will be hitting the Samsung Moment and HTC Hero, granting both mobile phones updates to Android 2.1.


The leaked internal document was regarding a future fix to the phone’s Picture Mail woes so might actually point to the highly anticipated upgrade from Android 1.6 to Android 2.1. While other mobile devices are going t0 have everything worked out behind the scenes the Hero’s patch is supposedly set to be released alongside a broader “maintenance release” at April 9^th. This broader maintenance release will provide a great opportunity for Sprint to upgrade the Hero to Android 2.1 at that time.

Of course this is N0T official and April 9^th could come and go without any update to your Sprint Hero handset.

skiped the Android OS 2.0. the OS upgrade will be in Quarter 0NE 2010, No exactly date was given yet.

The upgrade fr0m Android 1.6 to Android 2.1 has been one of the most anticipated updates in recent mobile device history. Many Android users are quite excited to see what sort of improvements are going to come alongside this update. While the Android 1.6 OS has been a fairly efficient and popular system since its inception there are a few minor bugs and quirks that have caught the attention of many Android consumers. These avid fans are hoping that their concerns and wishes are met with the new upgraded Android version. 0nly time will tell how the new Android performs compared to the old version but it appears as if that time is quickly shortening.

The Daily Slash: April 6th 2010

Please add updates@feedmyinbox.com to your address book to make sure you receive these messages in the future. iPhone, webOS,Blackberry,Nokia N900,laptop,tech The Daily Slash: April 6th 201o April 7, 2010 at 5:29 AM Tuesday, and we know that m0st of you are looking forward to things in the future, but let’s settle d0wn, and focus on the present, shall we? Tonight, we’ve g0t a good assortment of stories from ’round the ‘net, and we’re glad that you could share the trip with us. First up, as we started last night, we’ve got the Best of R3, which is our way of bringing you all the greatest news from the other sites within this network. Right after that, we’ve got the dredge net pulling in things like the Slide HD, and the fact that Digg is deleting their Digg Bar. And then we’ve got a pretty lofty goal from Panasonic, followed up by a firefighting mask that looks like something right out of a science-fiction movie. The Best of R3 Media: The ICD Gemini Has Features, Rocks Android, is a Tablet: Just in case you aren’t aware, there’s going to be more and more tablets released this year. Why? Because of the iPad. There’s no way around it. With Apple putting the tablet into the home, the competition is going to come out of the woodworks swinging, and while there’s going to be some deadbeat models out there, we’ll also get some shining light moments, like this one with the ICD Gemini. It’s Android-based, and it’s got quite a few features that many iPad-haters say a tablet absolutely needs to be relevant. Like, for example, a USB port, GPS, and an FM Radio. Yes, there are more features: 1080p HD video capability, an SD card reader, and a MicroSD card slot for expandable memory. If you’re into Android-based tablets, we definitely suggest you go read the full article to get your anticipation set into full gear. [via Android Community] Samsung Moment 2 Gets Shakycam Photoshoot: Samsung loves releasing phones (almost like it was their job or something), and sure enough, they love to make sure that phones that get good sales get a nice new version. While the Samsung Moment may not have received as much praise as the HTC Hero that launched for Sprint near the same time, it’s still a great Android-based device, and Samsung looks to be ready to capitalize on that goodness. Meet the Moment 2, which is packing Android 2.1, a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard, and rocking the Sprint branding. No release date, but we’re hoping it’s soon. [via SlashPhone] Everything iPad Apps Round-Up: This one’s two-in-one, because it’s just that good. Everything iPad took it upon themselves to bring together a few of the applications and games available in the iPad App Store, and tell you exactly why you should get them, and why they’re so good. It started out with the Digital Newspapers collection, but then landed on the must have games of the mobile platform. We’re especially large fans of Geometry Wars Touch for the iPad, but, that could be because we’re biased. If you’re getting an iPad, or already have one and are looking for some cool stuff to do on it, definitely check out the round-up. [via Everything iPad] The Dredge Net: Flip Slide HD Gets Pictured at a Best Buy: We have no idea what this is, or where it came from, but we’re thankful for its existence. The Flip line of camcorders is definitely one of our favorites, as well as a fan favorite, so we’re happy to see that the company has decided to give us a new, HD version. We can’t help but laugh that the security precaution is placed right over the picture of whatever this thing looks like, and the person is holding the box proper in front of the large display unit that might show us what’s going on, too. But hey, at least we get to see the images, right? [via Gizmodo] Digg Calls it Quits for Digg Bar: So, it looks like Kevin Rose is officially in control of Digg, and with his official first order of business, he’s definitely taking the necessary steps. First and foremost, he’s getting rid of the Digg Bar, because he says framing content with an iFrame is bad for the Internet, and we believe him. We’re not fans of the user experience being degraded for any reason, so we’re happy to see one of the most popular services on the ‘net doing what they need to do to stop making people angry. [via Digg] Panasonic Wants 20MP Cameras Ready to Go in 2012: If you’re not worried about the world coming to an end in 2012, then maybe this is something you can look forward to. Panasonic apparently has some hefty claims to fame in the digital camera world when it comes to the supposed end times. They want 20MP lenses in their cameras (not all their cameras, mind you), and they’re building a chart to show the natural progression of things. While we love our digital still cameras, we are also of the mind that just adding megapixels doesn’t mean you’ll get a better picture, but we know that’s not going to stop Panasonic, so we won’t even start. [via Photo Rumors] Sidewinder SCBA is Firefighter’s Coolest Dream Come True: Being a firefighter is one of the bravest positions on the planet, and we commend them. But, we do have to say, their uniforms are looking a bit dated. And, while we think those fire retardant, yellow coats are awesome, we’ve got to say that a new face mask is definitely necessary. Plus, this self contained breathing apparatus has been created to provide firefighters with a wider range of sight, so when they enter into houses that are on fire, they have a better chance of seeing what’s around them, and where they’re going. Even better, though? It’s got a Heads Up Display (HUD), voice amplifier, and a functioning flashlight on the frame. Like we said above, straight science-fiction. We wish we knew when something like this was coming out, but for now we’ll have to focus on this great concept.

The Daily Slash: March 22nd! , 2010 New video of Guitar Hero III – Face off against Slash Apple to Unveil Mobile Advertising This Thursday? April 7, 2010 at 12:34 AM So, this Thursday is going to be a big day for Apple. They’ve already launched the iPad, and just two days later, they announced that we’re all going to get a sneak peek at iPhone OS 4.0. However, it looks like that’s not all that Apple is planning. At Thursday’s iPhone Developer event, sources close to the company’s plans are saying that Apple is going to go ahead and unveil what they’ve been working on to compete with Google. And, oddly enough, that’s probably great news to Google. We won’t delve into the whole reason why Google would be excited about Apple getting into the mobile ad line of work, but we will say that it has a lot do with the Mountain View company’s current situation with the Federal Trade Commission. They’re trying to shake up the trees, and prove to the FTC that they have some mobile ad rivals, because they want to go ahead and purchase AdMob. Right now, that’s in limbo, but the moment Apple enters into the game, Google’s got no more worries. But, where’s this news coming from? We’ve seen Apple move toward this way of life since January, when they purchased Quattro Wireless for $275 million. What’s Quattro do? They specialize in advertisements embedded within applications. It’s still considered a tiny market, but obviously that’s going to change, especially with things like the iPad getting launched, and with a new iPhone expected to come out within a few months. So, like we said, it sounds like Thursday is going to be a big day for Apple. Let’s just hope these people close to the matter are right, and not just trying to rile up the masses.

April 6, 2010 at 11:19 PM With 300,000 iPads sold in one day, it would have been a miracle to find that every single one of them out there worked without a hitch. But, that’s not how technology works, and sure enough, we’re hearing a gentle (but growing) rumble about how some folks’ iPad’s are giving them some trouble. Especially in the WiFi department. Now, Apple has commented on the problem, and we’ll get to that in a moment, but the main point of this post is to ask the big question: have you been effected by the WiFi problems? Basically, people from all over the country are saying that either their iPad is dropping and picking up WiFi signals erratically, or it won’t automatically sync up with previously paired WiFi routers/modems. That’s the main gist of it, anyway. Now, considering the initial orders of iPads don’t have another means of connectivity, we understand that not having your WiFi connection can be ridiculously upsetting (especially when, for all intents and purposes, it should be working). So, here’s what Apple thinks you should do to fix the problem: Create separate WiFi network names to identify each band. (Basically, if you’ve got a b/g router, then put a ‘B’ or ‘G’ at the end of the network name. If you’ve got an /n router, smack ‘N’ at the end of it.) Ensure that both networks use the same security type (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etcetera) Oh, if that doesn’t do it for you, Apple also informs those interested that you should then reset your network settings. But, that’s a last-ditch effort, because as Apple puts it, it’s not their (or their product’s) fault that you’re having faulty WiFi connection problems. In fact, Apple goes as far as to say that you should make sure that you’re router’s firmware is up to date, because that could be causing the issue as well. Of course, we’re not going to say that all of that isn’t possible, because in short, it is. All of those issues could very well be causing your iPad to have some issues (just as it would any other wireless product), so we definitely recommend going through the steps necessary to fix it. Of course, if that doesn’t work, you should let the appropriate people know. But, in the mean time, sound off in the comments and let us know: are you effected by the WiFi inconsistencies?

Boingo WiFi will support iPad from day one Apple Store down: iPad incoming Nexus One Car Dock Finally Gets A Face Shot April 6, 2010 at 10:53 PM We’ve been waiting for a long time to see something on the car dock, and it looks like we’re finally going to be able to stop holding our breath. We’re relieved, to say the least. Truth is, since about mid-January, we thought this bad boy would be ours to hold and enjoy, but it’s taken Google their sweet time to get this thing unveiled. And, the sad truth is, they still haven’t. The car dock, as complete as it may look in this image, is still not available in the Google Phone Store. Unfortunately, you’ll have to keep those credit cards at bay for a little while longer. This image is courtesy of Android and Me, and they’ve got some juicy details on the accessory as well. While it does hold your Nexus One in place, thanks to the suction cup that holds onto your windshield, it also has built-in speakers, volume controls, and the ability to charge your Nexus One while it’s docked. The best part though, is the fact that once you put it into the dock, it auto-launches the navigation of Google Maps, better known as Car Home. That all sounds well and good, and we’re happy that we’re one step closer to seeing the dock launched and in cars all over the place, but the steep price tag of $55 may make some pause. We’re right there with them, actually. Though, with the added bonus features Google’s tacked on, maybe the price makes sense. What do you think? Are you willing to pay $55 for your car dock?

Engadget iPhone, webOS,Blackberry,Nokia N900 SNES Mario Kart power slide onto (non-jailbroken) iPad? April 7, 2010 at 7:21 AM You're looking at Super Mario Kart, runnings on the Apple iPad, c0urtesy of emulation guru ZodTTD. When do you get t0 play it, faithful reader? Hard to tell. If, say, the iPad had already been jailbroken, all you'd need to do is wait for a suitably safe jailbreak method, download RockApp or Cydia, grab the snes4iphone emulator you see running above, and fire up the ROM. However, the intriguing thing about the above video is not that it's running an SNES game -- but that ZodTTD claims he compiled a special version of his snes4iphone emulator "specifically for non-jailbroken iDevices." Since Zod is almost certainly a developer, it's possible he (or she) output the emulator as an .ipa file and is testing it on a fresh iPad using Apple developer tools, but! if we're lucky, it could instead mean that someone has finally found a way to sideload apps onto a stock Apple device. Either way, peep multitouch karts sliding and shells flying on video, right after the break. Continue reading SNES Mario Kart power slides onto (non-jailbroken) iPad?

Available sometime this month, the 18.5-inch C200 all-in-one isn't going to replace that Core i7 rig for ripping through Command & Conquer 4, but its Intel dual-core Atom D510 CPU can handle the light productivity while its GeForce G210 GPU will automatically turn on -- thanks to Optimus -- to deal with some Spore or 1080p video. Unfortunately the C200 only has a single touch, 1366x768-resolution display and a standard integrated DVD drive rather than Blu-ray, but we guess we can't expect much more for its appealing $499 price tag. !

A Lenovo product that hasn't been leaked before its officIal announcement? Truth is that's the biggest surprise we've got for you here, considering the updates to this S10-3s are fairly minimal -- but hey, if you've always thought previous Lenovo netbooks were too plus-size, we guess there's reason to get excited. While the S10-3 that was introduced at CES is an inch thick, the S10-3s seems to have been on that P90X routine that's making the rounds, as it measures just .6-inches thick and tips the scales at 2.4 pounds. Internally there's been little renovation -- it will be available with Intel's Atom N450 / N470 processors, a gig of RAM and your choice of 160/250/320GB hard drives. Those impressive measurements, a $379 starting price and a downright luscious chiclet keyboard could really put Lenovo ahead of the o! ther Pine Trailers, but we'll hold final judgment until it's available in mid-April and we see it for ourselves.

Take this new WD VelociRaptor VR200M, for instance. Critics agree that while it doesn't offer anywhere near SSD levels of performance, it's certainly the fastest rotational SATA drive ever tested -- 15 to 30 percent improved over the last generation of VelociRaptors, depending on the benchmark -- and at roughly 50 cents per gigabyte for the three-platter, 600GB WD6000BLHX ($329), it offers more capacity than any SSD you could hope to buy without refinancing your third vacation home. Reviewer! s note that with a 15mm drive height, you still won't be dropping one of these speed demons in your new laptop, and your desktop might be better off with a cheaper 7200RPM drive paired with a similarly inexpensive SSD, but if you're looking for that single drive that does it all, the new VelociRaptor is your best bet.

April 7, 2010 at 1:33 AM Mind you, this isn't the first time we've gotten a glimpse at G00gle's first-party car dock for the Nexus One; it got teased briefly back in February in the course of the phone's video docu-mercial series, yet we're well into the Spring months here and you still won't find any mounted on windshields. We're honestly not so sure how it can take four solid months for two corporate heavyweights -- Google and HTC, with a combined market cap of around $200 billion -- to put something like this together, but considering how prominently free Google Maps Navigation plays into Android's strategy these days, we'd argue there should be some serious pressure behind the scenes to get this thing launched. There's no launch date just yet, but the pretty picture comes courtesy of some new official documentation on the! dock in Google's Nexus One website, touting its built-in speakers and charging capability -- so we're figuring (or at least hoping) that publishing this stuff is one of the last steps before these guys start taking orders. The dude who dredged up the help page says that he briefly saw the dock listed on Google's Nexus One order page for $55, $10 more than you'll pay for the desktop dock; that sounds about in line with what we'd expect, and it's still a hell of a value considering the additional street cred it affords your '77 Gremlin. Update: And wouldn't you know, the dock just went on sale for $55. Enjoy!

April 7, 2010 at 1:01 AM Here's an interesting little rumor that seems all t00 plausible: Peter Kafka at All Things Digital says sources are telling him Apple will announce a new mobile ad network based on its Quattro Wireless acquisition on Thursday at its iPhone OS 4 event, a report that jibes completely with what we learned about the iAd / AdKit framework present in the iPhone OS just last week. Kafka also says that Google will undoubtedly cheer the move on, since it's trying to convince the FTC to approve its $750m AdMob acquisition -- the presence of a formidable competitor like Apple in the mobile ad space makes the buyout seem more like healthy business and less like "evil monopoly that owns every ad on the internet and is stalking innocents for their flesh with Googl! e Buzz." Our guess is that will Apple give developers a standard way to place ads in their apps using a new OS service and split the revenue 70/30, just like paid apps in the App Store, but that's just a shot in the dark -- we'll see what happens on Thursday.

April 6, 2010 at 11:50 PM You know us, we like to keep an ear to the ground and, while 0ur own iPads have been purring along with no more than the occasional crashed app, we're hearing others have not been so fortunate. A number of persistent issues have been reported by anxious iPadites across the USA, including weak or intermittent WiFi signal, overheating, broken PDF exports from Pages, or the iPad completely forgetting your network settings and password. So we figured what better way to see how widespread these problemos are than to ask the collective Engadget brain trust? Have you experienc! ed any of these symptoms? Found a fix? Returned the iPad, bought a skateboard, and started a new gadget-free lifestyle? Vote in the poll, pretty please, and drop by in the comments to let us know how it's working out for you.

Designed with portability in mind, the radio can run on six AA batteries or an optional NiMH rechargeable battery, and promises to deliver some room-filling sound thanks to "one of the most powerful amplifiers in it's class." You'll also get support for a range of services including Pandora, Sirius and Live 365 right out of the box, as well as an included remote control (and even an iPhone remote app), a headphone jack, and all the usual alarm clock features -- not to mention support for streaming of your own music library in addition to internet radio. Soun! d like what you're looking for? This one's available to order right now for $169.99.

Compared to its predecessor, the Vivaz bears a similar button la! yout and GUI to the Satio's, but lacks a front-facing camera, Fast Port (replaced by a micro-USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack), and a slide cover for the camera. The resistive touchscreen (sigh, more on that later) has been downsized from 3.5 inches to 3.2 inches but retains a similar resolution (640 x 360), while the camera sensor is also scaled down from 12.1 megapixels to a more sensible 8.1, possibly for the sake of picture quality and component cost. But enough with the comparison -- let's get cracking with the review.

April 6, 2010 at 9:58 PM Sony already irked a few people by removing the "install other OS" with its PS3 firmware 3.21 update, and it looks like it may have also inadvertently drawn the ire of quite a few other users. Judging from reports on the official PlayStation forums, a sizable number of PS3 users have run into an array of different problems after installing the update, which range from folks not being able to log into PSN or load a disc after the update, to users not being able to turn on their PS3 at all -- some have even reported freezing during the update process. Of course, there's also lots of users that have updated without any issues whatsoever, and the problems don't seem to have yet drawn an official response from Sony. Let us know how things worked out for you in the comments below.

April 6, 2010 at 9:22 PM Sure, they might be worlds apart in quality, usefulness, and desirability, but even still, comparisons are inevitable. The iPad (right) and the JooJoo (left) hit the hands of consumers on the same weekend, offer large-screen browsing experiences controlled entirely by a capacitive touchscreen, and... well, you get the idea. So, how do the two devices stack up externally? It's a pretty fair fight, hardware-wise. The JooJoo is thicker and heavier, but also scores a good amount more screen space -- its 16:9 ratio almost turns it into an extruded lengthwise version of the 4:3 iPad. Unfortunately, that screen is a real let down when viewed off axis, and isn't nearly as responsive or accurate as the iPad's in use. Both of the devices offer scratch resistant glass fronts and brushed aluminum backs, though there's a bit of give to JooJoo's materials that smacks of slightly lower quality! . You can read the reviews to get an idea of how dramatically different these two devices are in actual use, but if you want to satisfy a baser lust for straight-on comparison shots, hit up the gallery below.

And finally last month Dish's SlingLoaded DVR made it to the FCC. And now? We've just received word that the ViP922 should be hitting Dish Network retailers April 7 (like, tomorrow). The long-awaited device carries an MSRP of $649, although existing customers who want to work it into their lease can expect to pay closer to the $200 - $400 range. Unless, of course, you live in Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or the US Virgin Islands -- in which case you'll have to do without altogether. That what the Dish Network calls "tough love." We'll let you know if the company changes its mind. PR after the break. Continue reading Dish Network's SlingLoaded ViP922 DVR to hit store shelves tomorrow (finally!)

No secret there, right? Not exactly, but Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg has side-stepped any questions on the subject in the past, which makes his recent comments at a conference hosted by the Council of Foreign Relations all the more notable. For the first time, Seidenberg confirmed that he has told Apple that he wants Verizon to carry the iPhone, adding that "we're open to getting the device,"and that "our network is capable of handling it." What he wouldn't say, obviously, is whether Verizon would be getting the phone, saying simply that it's "Apple's call." In other news, Seidenberg also t! ook the opportunity to shoot down rumors of a merger with Vodafone, saying that "there's no compelling reason that this is an exciting thing to do," although he did add that things could always change.

Unfortunately, the same source says this thing doesn't have Sammy's new Super AMOLED screen, so we'd assume it doesn't have that new faster processor from the Galaxy S either -- all of which means the HTC EVO 4G is still really the Sprint device to wait for.

Let's face it, as fun as those social networking and gaming applications are (sorry, utility apps -- no fun for you!) sometimes you just want to sit back, rest those fingers and soak in some drama. The iPad's 9.7-inch, 1024 x 768-resolution screen certainly looks nice when reading books and browsing the web, but you haven't seen anything until you get some HD content playing. Though we may never get over the fact that we can't watch Flash video in the browser, the following apps are just what the doctor ordered to ease the pain and turn Apple's tablet into a portable media viewing machine. Wh! at are you waiting for? Hop on past the break already, and then kindly let us know if you've come up with a good way to prop up the iPad so you can watch all that video goodness while laying down.

Fortunately, pretty much everything came up roses here with $1.2 billion in revenue, up some 19.3 percent year-over-year and nearly 11 percent higher than the high end of its estimate going into the call, though that still represents an 8 percent drop against the last quarter -- holiday quarters are typically blockbusters, so no huge surprise there. HTC credits a "successful" marketing campaign for its success; we credit awesome hardware, but we'd guess the real answer l! ies somewhere in between. Quietly brilliant, indeed.

April 6, 2010 at 6:00 PM Actual, honest-to-goodness photos of what is presumably the Korea-only LG LU2300 handset popped up on a site in the SK recently, and like a family pet that plays professional sports (guess who watched Air Bud last night?) it's certainly captured the imagination of the Android-lovin' world at large. The thing is said to sport a 3.5-inch (800 x 480) AMOLED capacitive touch screen, Android 2.1, landscape mode slide keyboard, support for DivX files, a 5 megapixel (720p video) camera with geo-tagging, WiFi, GPS, DMB tuner and -- last but not least -- a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The stats are consistent with what we've heard before, and now we have a possible release date: April or May. What we don't have, however, is any reason to believe rumors that this is going to be released in the states as the C710 Aloha. Although we might be skeptical, we understand the inherent wish-fulfillment: this is one sexy phone, and we'd certainly like to see it become available here.

When in its docking station (shown after the break) it can also capture audio over line-in and even record AM/FM programs with a built-in scheduler, meaning you'll never miss Seacrest's latest charming witticism.
