Now the guys 'n' gals over at Nokia are getting chummy with Microsoft all eyes are on the Finnish phone giant to see what happens next. Well, what happens next is our friends over at Engadget get their hands on some pictures of the first Nokia concept phones to run Windows Phone 7.
The rumors of some sort of Facebook phone arriving sometime in the future have been circulating for a while now, with HTC being touted as a hardware partner. Now though it seems minnows INQ are hard at work getting ready to bring a handset to market.
Things just got real folks! At their big event today, HP finally announced its swanky new tablet to the world, and it's a beauty!
Called the HP TouchPad, the tablet is the result of Palm being absorbed into the world of HP with webOS beating at the heart of the device.

With Verizon iPhones starting to arrive with lucky customers already, the question on all our lips was simple: is the CDMA version of Apple's smartphone jailbreakable on iOS 4.2.6 using existing software? Well, it appears it is!
I've said before now that we are firmly into 'silly season'. With both iPhone and iPad updates expected to be announced in the coming months, this is the time we start to get all those juicy rumors about specifications, prices and possible release dates. Today we have some more, thanks to Macotakara (via MacRumors).
With Chronic Dev Team releasing GreenPois0n RC5 yesterday much was made of the inclusion of the option to add a custom animated boot logo. That's all well and dandy, other than the fact it doesn't entirely work.
