The iPad isn’t crazy big. But it’s too big for a pocket. That means one thing: a bag. Not too big of a bag. More like a purse. More »
Flippin’ finally, right? Verizon Wireless put the long-awaited Android 2.1 update on hold for its cadre of Motorola Droid owners earlier in the month, with an all-too-vague “TBD” as the only detail as to when we could look for it to actually, really land. We’ve just happened upon what looks to be an internal Verizon email that went out this morning, and sure enough, it sounds as if the update will at long last begin hitting Droid owners in just a few minutes. At noon on 3/30 (that’s today, vaquero), a grand total of 1,000 users will receive notification of the update, while 9,000 more will get a similar alert just before midnight. If all goes well, the rest of ya will see v2.1 slide down starting on Thursday, though it looks as if patience will be your only friend as you await your turn. Head on past the break for the full memo, but don’t get your hopes up too high — wouldn’t want to be let down again, would you buttercup?

See that picture right there? That’s a photo of the HTC EVO 4G, the universe’s first Android-based 4G phone for the Sprint WiMAX network, plugged into a TV over HDMI. Sure, you could hit up this source link, a Google Doc guide for developers looking to sling together EVO 4G-compatible Android applications before the best-specced phone on the planet is released this summer, but you might get bored with the abundance of code and shortage of amazing photos like this one depicting the greatest piece of technology known to man. It’s 720p out, just in case you were curious or lacking in faith.

There are certain cultural differences one has to know about when doing business in in various parts of the world. While consumer electronics have been somewhat unifying, idiosyncrasies remain. Take the tablet, for example. What we here in the States refer to as the iPad, folks in Europe are calling the WePad–a strange difference we’re chalking up to the use of the “royal we.”
All right, that’s not entirely true. Actually, it’s not true at all. The WePad is an iPad competitor designed by German manufacturer, Neofonie. The tablet features a built-in Webcam and runs Android. And now it boasts some major support in its home continent. Europe’s biggest publisher, Gruner + Jahr, has seemingly given the tablet its stamp of approval.
The company’s CEO Bernd Buchhol reportedly showed off the device during the company’s annual press conference. German newspaper BILD is also said to be in talks with Neofonie. An official list of content partners is expected to be revealed on April 12th.
