The new Hotmail is here, and with it comes a whole new @outlook.com domain to colonize. That means it’s time to act quickly to get your-name@outlook.com. Certain members of our staff with very very common names—not saying who—have scored in the Outlook landgrab. GOGOGOGOGO before it’s too late! Protip: We’ve had better luck going for our full names.

Rise and shine HTC EVO 3D owners, we’ve got some great news for you today. According to reports online, owners of the phone have started receiving the long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich update today. While you won’t get Sense 4.0, the update should bring your the device up to date with all the latest Android features (excluding features from Jelly Bean, of course). Be sure to check out our post on Ice Cream Sandwich to find out what’s new on your phone.

For those of you who didn’t receive any notification, you can try manually calling for it via the Android settings menu, or you can just wait for it patiently. As usual, be sure to back up your device so you don’t lose any important data just in case anything goes wrong. It’s even recommended that you wait a few days to see what other people think of the update before you put it on your phone. After all, Android updates have been known to mess up perfectly usable devices before. But if you do get the update today – let us know how it goes for you.

Whoever said that there is no free lunch in this world? Diablo 3 fan site Diablo3.org is currently performing charity in a digital manner – and I am referring to the site practically giving away free money each week. Users are sent the relevant information each week on the method to end up as a contest winner, and most of the time, it would require one to post relevant information concerning Diablo 3 so that other users who are not as creative as you will be able to get through the more difficult bits of the game, and you are also free to contribute further tips on the phenomenally popular dungeon crawler. The prize money is rather small at just $50 weekly at this point in time, but at least you can have a nice meal with that kind of money still.

Diablo3.org mentioned, “We plan to increase the prize winnings month after month. Right now its at $50 a week, or $200 a month, but we hope to get the cash prize up to possibly even $1000 a week!” Well, what do you think of this particular model to beget more and more users to the fan site?

There’s been an abnormal amount of clues this season leading up to the idea that several new devices are coming from Apple, the iPad mini being one of the most-denied yet most-seen. What you’re about to witness here is a set of iPad mini cases, each of them appearing to come from Devicewear, a company that we’re pretty sure won’t be invited back to the Apple party any time soon should these renders be proven real. What they show is the iPad mini – or whatever it’ll end up being called in the end – complete with volume buttons, a back-facing camera and microphone, and the lovely new miniature dock connector for all to see.

This case is nothing too exciting on its own, but what you’ll see inside is a next-generation iPad that’s seemingly smaller than its predecessors. The front-facing render of the device does not seem as realistic as the back, on the other hand, appearing here to be more of a photoshop effort than anything. The back of the device though, again, looks to have many of the same features the iPad 3rd generation device does, including the ultra-thin profile the newest iPad works with like a champ.

The screen-lock is there, the volume buttons look fabulously black, and the back-facing camera once again appears without a flash. The lens for the camera does appear quite large, leading us to believe that it may indeed be working with the same technology that the iPhone 4S works with – great news for you iPad photo shooters out there. There’s also a top and back facing set of microphones for next-level noise cancellation.

The bottom of the device has the new dock connector we’ve been hearing so much about. This dock connector is much smaller than the current 30-pin port, this thusly making room for the speaker grilles to face downward rather than relatively backwards as the current model iPad does. Now we’ve just got to convince Apple to go all the way forwards somehow or another for some real front-facing entertainment action.

Check the timeline below for more iPad mini news bits to add it all up for yourself – with more on the way, to be sure!

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, and a smartphone by any other name would just be…er, as smart? I am not quite sure, but if you do follow what Sony Mobile offers closely ever since they broke off from the Sony Ericsson partnership, here we are with their latest candidate to go through the hallowed halls of the FCC – the Sony Xperia advance. It is also known as the ST27a if model numbers are your thing, while those living in North American would have realized that it has already undergone the FCC’s rigorous testing procedures under the guise of the Sony Xperia go.

The Sony Xperia go did hit several markets already, but Sony Mobile has largely remained silent as to when the Xperia advance will arrive Stateside as well as in Canada. One thing’s for sure – to see it pass through the FCC would probably be a pretty good indicator as to the actual release date. Those who are thinking or mulling over their decision as to whether to purchase a new handset from Sony, you might want to consider the Sony Xperia advance.
