Droid Incredible’s mysterious OTA update actually fixes Exchange bug

Saturday afternoon, reports came in that Verizon’s new Droid Incredible had already received its first OTA update. Nobody knew quite what it did and few even received it, but some figured it probably fixed the smattering of random reboots and radio bugs experienced by some early adopters. We reached out to Verizon on the matter, and we’re afraid to say that’s not the case — the new 1.22.605.2 CL161494 software build merely fixes a bug in Microsoft Exchange support. As such, you’ll only see the update if you’ve got a corporate handset, and those who do can expect their carbon-copy email fields (which would apparently fill with unintended addresses beforehand) to be fixed sometime around May 6th. On the off-chance that fix magically transforms your mobile world, feel free to let us know in comments. Full statement after the break.

gorillapod-magnetic.jpgIt’s hard not to love the original Joby Gorillapod, a tripod that lets you use your camera in new locations by adding flexible legs.

The Gorillapod Magnetic works with cameras up to 11.5 ounces, and weighs 2.5 ounces. You can pick it up on Amazon for a list price of $24.95. Joby has also announced that the original Gorillapod is now available in four sizes, and works with cameras up to 11.5 pounds.

Hercules XPS 2.0 35 Speakers Stress Portability

Your notebook’s built-in speakers might be fine when you’re by yourself, but can they do the job when you want to share a song with friends? And what if you’re watching a streaming television show–can the sound reach you when you sit back a few feet?

The answer is to choose speakers that are just as portable as your computer. Hercules is introducing the XPS 2.0 35 USB speakers, which get all the power they need from a USB port, so there’s no electrical cord. They even come with a padded carrying case for when you’re on the go.

Look for them in June for a list price of $19.99. Hercules will also introduce in June the XPS 5.1 70 Slim, a set of four speakers and one sub-woofer, for $99.99 list.

ABC said to have 3G-compatible iPad app on the way

We had a pretty clear indication that a 3G-compatible ABC iPad app could just be a matter of a relatively simple fix, and it looks like that is indeed the case — Silicon Alley Insider is reporting that ABC has already submitted an updated app that adds 3G streaming to Apple for approval. Barring some unforeseen issues, that seems to be all but assured, and it will presumably function much like the Netflix app by knocking things down to a lower bitrate when you leave your WiFi comfort zone. Still no official word from ABC on this, but we’d suggest keeping a close eye on the app store if you’ve been craving some Dancing with the Stars on the go.
