Hasta La Gadget!

We still consider Samsung’s Hummingbird application processor to be among the very best for mobile computers, but this morning Sammy itself is stepping up the charge to make it look real old real fast. The freshly announced dual-core Orion promises to whip us all into a frenzy of geek lust with “5 times the 3D graphics performance over the previous processor generation from Samsung,” 1080p video encoding and decoding at 30fps, embedded GPS, a native triple display controller, and on-chip HDMI 1.3a interface. Those last two bits mean you can drive two displays on your mobile device while feeding a third, such as a HDTV, all thanks to the one all-powerful chip inside. Availability for “select customers” is coming late this year, with mass production set for the first half of 2011. To say we’re looking forward to it would be a massive understatement.

Should there be an international award for Cheekiest Man of the Year, it’d have to go to Meizu’s shameless Jack Wong. Shortly after Apple’s keynote last week, the CEO of KIRFdom seized the opportunity to cry foul on the new iPod touch, claiming it “looks a bit like” his forthcoming M9II Android phone, as pictured above. Wait, M9II? Turns out even though the M9 has yet to materialize in early October, Mr. Wong already has an enhanced model to be brought forth by his faithful unicorns. Assuming both M9 series devices will carry the same Meizu-fied Android 2.2 software, the only known differences on the M9II include a larger 4-inch display (as opposed to 3.5 inches at 960 x 640), the additional front-facing camera plus flash for the rear camera, and a Cortex-A9 CPU. To play devil’s advocate, we’d actually suggest Wong skip the M9 for this lovely dream phone, but we’re probably too late — check out his snazzy prototype M9 after the break.

Back in March last year, Google launched themes for personalized homepages that change with time and weather. The themes quickly became a hit and since then, they’ve added new themes and even launched an iGoogle Themes Directory so that people can create their own and share them with others. Now that they’ve got this whole themes thing figured out, it makes sense that Google would offer Gmail users the option to use a theme as well. It may be an option sooner rather than later if what Philipp Lenssen says over at Google Blogoscoped is true.

According to Lenssen, a source has told him that Gmail will be getting custom layouts soon. He says, “according to the source, the launch of this may happen within the next months. There will be 12 themes to pick from, according to this information, like a black-and-green “terminal” view, as well as a flowery view.”

There is already interest in personalizing Gmail with themes because many people do it with the help of Greasemonkey (using JavaScript) or Stylish (using CSS). What’ll be interesting to see is if the themes are along the same lines as those offered for iGoogle and will change with time and weather. It’ll also be interesting to see if Google comes up with an easy way to share elements of themes between iGoogle and Gmail so that they are tied together.

We’ll be keeping our eye out over the next few months for any signs of themes coming to Gmail…
