Mystery Motorola Droid (Shadow?) spotted with Verizon branding, set to be starting somethin’

Posted in: droid, in the wild, InTheWild, motorola, Today's Chili, verizon

Why hello there… you. Over at the HowardForums, a certain “wnrussell” has uploaded a picture of what looks to be a Getting Started manual for a Verizon-bound Motorola Droid that we can’t recall ever seeing before. There’s unfortunately no other information provided at the moment, except maybe a hint from the filename: Shadow. Is this the same 4.3-inch phone we’ve been seeing rumored for some time now? At any rate, we gotta say, this is a pretty attractive device — and if that’s a new hue for Motoblur, we’re all for it. Now how about pulling out a secret slide-out keyboard to make our lives complete…

Apple iPad shipments now getting hopes up in UK and Australia

Posted in: Apple, apple ipad, AppleIpad, ipad, ship, shipping, Today's Chili, uk

Heads up! We’ve gotten a ton of tips from our friends across the pond and down under that Apple’s now sending shipment notifications for those who pre-ordered the iPad — both the 3G and WiFi-only models, from what we’ve seen — about one week before that famed May 28 international launch date. Now, before you start thinking you need to take off work a few days earlier, don’t forget that those in the US also got notifications a week before release and still no one got an early present. In other words, just be happy knowing all systems are go and your productivity is still likely to be shot on Wednesday.

Sony Alpha NEX-5 in the wild, plays David to A330’s Goliath

Posted in: dslr, sony, Today's Chili

Talk about envy. One of our lucky tipsters just wrote in to talk about the training he did this week for — and here’s the kicker — Sony’s brand new Alpha NEX-5. Just to prove his conquest, he also managed a picture of the compact DSLR next to the Alpha 330. Yep, it’s still really, really small. If that’s not enough, the tipster apparently also will be able to use the SAM and SSM Sony lenses, both with functional autofocus. We know what you’re probably thinking: the pre-order details are right here.

Update: Perpetual Radio has some hands-on impressions and a video (embedded after the break). Go forth!

HP Taiwan reportedly reaffirms pre-October launch for webOS tablet

Posted in: HP, palm, Today's Chili, webos

Don’t mind us taking a few grains of salt on this one, but according Digitimes, HP Taiwan Vice President Monty Wong has confirmed a webOS-powered tablet is due out in the market before the fiscal year ending in October. This jibes with what we heard earlier this month, including the common sense caveat that more details will be forthcoming only after the Palm acquisition is completed near the end of July. Now, we won’t be surprised one iota if this comes to fruition — HP itself has gone on record numerous times as wanting to throw the onetime mobile-exclusive OS on everything from tablets (yay) to printers (huh). Still, everything we know about it so far comes via words and whispers to third-party sources, or the voice in our head dreaming up ideal product lines — neither of which, unfortunately, we can put our complete trust in.
