| Dell Streak to bump up to Android 2.1 in September, hopefully shipping sometime before that |
| So, plenty of Dell goodies to choose from right now, but if you're a die hard Dell-making-mobiles follower, you've probably been pining for the Streak (previously known as the Mini 5) for much longer than is strictly healthy. What news for you? Well, the mini tablet is apparently supposed to be getting Android 2.1 in September. Unfortunately, there's no update on that vague "summer" launch window |

| Dell Looking Glass tablet leaks: Tegra 2 coming your way in November |
| digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Dell_Looking_Glass_tablet_leaks_Tegra_2_coming_your_way'; We'd already heard that Dell was working on larger tablets, and tonight's huge leak brought us tons of info on the Looking Glass, a seven-inch big brother to the Streak 5 that's due out in November. For starters, it's running Android 2.1 on a Tegra 2 processor, with an optional TV tuner module so you can |

| Dell Smoke slaps Android in the wild form factor you secretly wanted |
| digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Dell_Smoke_like_an_awesome_Pixi_with_Android'; Okay, so imagine a Pixi, but awesome. We think you'd end up with something closely resembling the phone that Dell's whipping up with a codename of "Smoke," running Android Froyo atop a 2.8-inch QVGA display (looks more like WVGA to us, but whatevs). Dell calls it a "non-conforming style," but we just call it drop- |

| Dell Flash to offer Android Froyo in a 'dramatic' package |
| digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Dell_Flash_to_offer_Android_Froyo_in_a_dramatic_package'; If Dell's vision of a mainstream Android device for 2011 ends up materializing, we're not sure we even need a high end anymore. Okay, that's not true -- we'll obviously be power freaks to the bitter end -- but the so-called "Flash" that we've just caught wind of (no relation to the Adobe product of the sa |

| Motorola Devour graced with update, bug fixes are the main story |
| Alright, Devour users, we know the very first thing you want to know is whether this is Android 2.1 we're dealing with here -- and sadly, the answer to that is a forlorn "no." That said, it looks like this update is going to tidy up a whole bunch of stuff for you with improved call performance, better UI response time, stability enhancements, a handful of minor email tweaks, better audio over head |

| LiSeng Vbook cuts the Entourage Edge down to size |
| The Entourage Edge may be many things, but pocketable it is not. LiSeng looks set to address that shortcoming with its own Vbook, however, which packs a pair of 5-inch screens into a foldable form factor that should at least fit in a large coat pocket. That, naturally, includes one E-Ink screen and one LCD touchscreen (800 x 600), the latter of which handles all of the device's Android duties. Whi |

| Intel's 2011 CPUs require new motherboards, start saving those pennies now? |
| Hoping Intel's 32nm Sandy Bridge CPUs will unify your computing world next year? Bit-tech reports they may also drain your pocketbook. Anonymous sources told the site that Intel's spiffy new CPU / GPU / memory controller integrations will use two new sockets, LGA-1155 and LGA-2011; if true, you'll need to buy a new motherboard to match. Aside from packaging the aforementioned GPU and memory contro |

| NVIDIA Ion 2 Acer and ASUS netbooks won't ship until late May |
| NVIDIA's next generation Ion platform was announced back in early March, so naturally we've been wondering where all the souped-up netbooks based on the tech have been hiding. We wish we had better news, but it looks like the wait will have to go on a little while longer. While NVIDIA claims no delay on its end, ASUS and Acer have confirmed that their respective Ion 2 netbooks will not arrive unti |

That's the first time Jeff Bezo's e-reader will be sold in a brick-and-mortar store, a big step for Amazon we're taking as a |
