    Apple Store goes down for mystery updates

    We’re used to seeing this message flash across the Apple Store every time Steve Jobs graces the stage – but on a random evening at the beginning of the work week? That’s a bit strange. Any guesses as to what’s in the oven? The latest whispers around the Interwebs all suggest that iMac and MacBook revisions [...]

    Rumor: Samsung Galaxy Lite gets pictured?

    Posted on September 1, 2009 | No Comments
    For the past few weeks, rumors have been brewing indicating that Samsung has been crackin' away on a scaled-down sibling to their Android-powered Galaxy. After an appropriately shaped handset with a similar model number (I7500 for Galaxy Standard vs I5700 for the Lite) made its way through the FCC, the rumors started to seem pretty solid. Adding a bit more credibility to the idea, French Android-fansite Frandroid has managed to unearth what's purported to be a promo shot of Mr. Galaxy Jr.

    Verizon Wireless to carry Palm Pre, Storm 2 “in about six months”

A breaking Reuters report has just dropped one of the biggest cellular bombshells of the year: Verizon Wireless, America's largest mobile operator, will soon be carrying Palm's Pre. Oh, that's not enough? No worries -- it'll also be selling a "new version of the touchscreen BlackBerry Storm," which is obviously the Storm 2 that we've been toying around with. The report makes clear that both phones would be cleared for shipment in around six months, which certainly jibes with whispers we've heard about Sprint's mighty short exclusivity period. The news came from the company's Lowell McAdam, the top executive for the venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone. To quote: "Over the next six months or so you will see devices like Palm Pre and a second generation Storm." First Sprint, then AT&T, and now Verizon? T-Mobile, where you at?

    [Thanks, E]

    Update: Seems Mr. McAdam continued on by noting that VZW would get the Palm Pre "and a cousin." Hmm, Eos, anyone?
