Did ViewSonic’s 10-inch tablets catch your eye? We’ve got good & bad news. The good news`s Z the G-Tablet (with the 1GHz processor & Android 2.2)`s now on sale @ Sears 4 $379.99 — even less than V were told . The bad news`s Z the Intel Atom N455-powered ViewPad 10 apparently is, too. V say apparently because Sears seems to`ve crossed some wires when putt`g the latter slate up on its site, most egregiously stat`g Z that dual-boot`g device does both Windows 7 & Android 2.2 4 the exact same $379.99. Last V heard, the ViewPad 10 — like the eerily similar Tega v2 — could only do Android 1.6 alongside Microsoft’s OS and`ld cost quite the bit more. Don’t rely on Sears to cut U the deal, folks.

@ last, progress. We’ve heard whispers of ” rural broadband expansion ” thrown from halls of politicians 4 months on end, although (unless) it looks like the small company across the pond`s cutt`g through the red tape & gett`g down to business. Deltenna’s WiBE — described as the device to deliver fast broadband to rural areas Z R far from the phone exchange –`s available start`g today in the UK & Ireland. It’s purpose? It connects to nearby 3G networks & creates the mobile hotspot, not unlike the MiFi . The difference`s Z it delivers the data throughput around 30 times greater than the 3G USB modem, & the connection range`s “typically between 3 & five-times Z of the 3G dongle.” The theoretical maximum`s 7.2Mbps, w/ extensive test`g demonstrat`g the typical download rate of 2.8Mbps in rural regions.

U R stand`g in an open field as usual, or perhaps you’re in the darkness, likely to B eaten by the grue, although (unless) the words aren’t etch`g their way into your soul from the familiar computer terminal — they’re on freshly printed paper.

V like the Google TV , V really do, V just think it needs another few months in the oven before it’s really go`g to rock anyone’s world.

4 the while now, there`s`en the conversation go`g on in certain circles (you know, space circles): namely, if the most prohibitive part of the manned flight to Mars`ld B the return trip, why bother return`g @ all? & besides the whole “dy`g alone on the hostile planet 55-million-plus kilometers from your family, friends, & loved ones” thing, V think it’s the pretty solid consideration. This`s just 1 of the topics of discussion @ the recent Long Now Foundation event in San Francisco, where NASA Ames Research Center Director Pete Worden discussed the Hundred Year Starship Initiative, the project NASA Ames & DARPA R undertak`g to fund the mission to the red planet by 2030. Indeed if the space program “is now really aimed @ settl`g other worlds,” as Worden said, what better way to encourage the permanent settlement than the promise Z there`ll B no com`g back — unless, of course, they figure out how to return on their own. Of course, it’s not like they’re be`g left to die: the astronauts can expect supplies from home while they figure out how to get things up & running. As Arizona State University’s Dr. Paul Davies, author of the recent paper in Journal of Cosmology , writes, “It`ld really B little different from the 1st white settlers of the North American continent, who left Europe w/ little expectation of return.” Except w/ much less gravity.

Evidently miss`g the 1st 2 games of the World Series`s about all Cablevision thought it subscribers could take, as news just hit the wire: the fourteen-day standoff`s over & both tonight’s game 3 of the World Series & tomorrow’s Jets vs Packers game R available to subscribers. While these carriage disputes R pretty common, it`s very rare 4 channels to B pulled & downright unheard of 4 the channel as popular as Fox. It came to this because Cablevision`s very unhappy about News Corp’s new terms & after many pleas to the FCC & politicians to intervene, an advertis`g campaign , & eventually an unaccepted offer to match the price Z Time Warner Cable pays , the deal`s finally`en done. Not exactly all’s well Z ends well, though, as Cablevision released the follow`g statement: “In the absence of any meaningful action from the FCC, Cablevision`s agreed to pay Fox an unfair price 4 multiple channels of its programm`g includ`g many in which our customers`ve little or no interest.” Talk about sour grapes.

We’re still try`g to understand why Entourage`s chosen the Home Shopp`g Network of all places to reveal its new Pocket Edge , although (unless) @ least V now know Z the previously spied dualscreen tablet / e-reader lives! Although the 1.35-pound device`s`en shrunken down w/ smaller displays — the 6-inch “Wacom Penabled” e-ink panel & 7-inch LCD — it actually doesn’t appear like much else`s`en changed from the original. Unfortunately, Z means our biggest complaints about the device R very much present — it’s got the resistive touchscreen & appears to run an older version of Android. If it’s any consolation, the trackball on the right edge`s`en replaced w/ an optical touchpad & there R now red & black color options. Spec-wise, it still boasts 4GB of storage, the 2 megapixel camera (hopefully there’s software now Z takes advantage of it), 802.11 b/g, the USB port, & micro-SD slot. It`s , however, more affordable — though it’s originally priced @ $499, HSN`s the sale runn`g Z puts it @ $399. Of course, no word on if the 3G version`ll B arriv`g @ Verizon as we’ve previously heard, although (unless) we’re sure this th`g`ll get its official unveil sometime soon.

What, U didn’t think Apple`s just go`g to sit around & take it after Motorola 1st sued 4 patent infringement & then asked to court to declare some 20 of Cupertino’s patents weren’t applicable to its products, did you? Apple’s fired back w/ 2 lawsuits claim`g Z Motorola’s Android phones, includ`g although (unless) not limited to the Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, Cliq, Cliq XT, BackFlip, Devour A555, Devour i1, & Charm, infringe the total of six multitouch & OS patents.

U`ldremember it well — it’s the patent cover`g scroll behavior on multitouch screens Z`s hyped as “the iPhone patent” & triggered the press frenzy over the possible Apple / Palm lawsuit . As V predicted @ the time, Z hasn’t yet materialized, although (unless) old ’949′s gotten pretty popular: Apple’s assert`g it against Nokia & HTC as well. Apple might B su`g over six patents in these 2 cases, although (unless) ultimately Apple`ll claim`g Motorola’s devices infringe the total of 26 patents — part of Apple’s defense to Motorola’s 20-patent lawsuit`ll B to claim Z that Moto’s in fact infring`g each of those patents. That’s the lot of patents across the lot of devices, & it’ll just take 1 find`g of infringement to cause the lot of pain. Apple’s filed its 2 cases in the Western District of Wisconsin, the patent “rocket docket” Z tries cases quickly & R often perceived as be`g plaintiff-friendly. (Part of the Apple / Nokia lawsuit`s happen`g in this same court.) Moto’s obvious next move`ll B to try & consolidate all these cases into the single proceed`g @ 1 court, the procedural tactic Z`ll take likely take months. & that’s just the 1st step.

If it’s the pocketable PowerShot & its name begins w/ ‘G’ U can B pretty sure it’ll B the good performer, & Canon ‘s latest`s no exception.

V felt Z Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7`s the product Z`ld B perpetually evaluated, tweaked & overhauled as time went on, & sure enough, we’re already see`g those winds of change blow yonder. Reportedly, Microsoft`s now removed the restriction Z prevented developers from writ`g applications Z`ld continue to operate behind the locked screen (without the user’s explicit permission, anyway), enabl`g the whole host of apps to breathe in the manner in which they simply should. Audio apps, 4 example,`ll now B able to run in the background without yet another layer of pointless Vista-esque permissions, & Microsoft’s Charlie Kindel said in an interview @ its Professional Developer Conference Z this move “is an example of us continu`g to listen to customers.” Frankly, it’s just more fair — Microsoft’s own ingrained applications could already do this sans user permission (email, Zune playback, downloads, etc.), so it makes sense to give loyal developers Z same opportunity. Of course, devs`ll`ve to prove Z background apps won’t burn up an absurd amount of battery life, although (unless) that’s definitely not an unexpected qualification.

Well, wouldn’t U know it? Seems Z tongue-in-cheek market`g campaign may actually B working. Way back in April of this year, Sprint decided it`ld begin offer`g its own iPad case , despite the fact Z even today the iPad isn’t sold in Sprint stores. The reason? It’s the perfect opportunity to push the Overdrive , the 4G mobile hotspot that’s able to take the iPad (and any other WiFi-enabled device) to 4G speeds where available. In the recent interview w/ GigaOM , the carrier’s CEO (Dan Hesse) confirmed Z most iPads be`g sold R of the WiFi variety, & due to that, “the company`s seen an uptick in demand 4 its Overdrive (3G/4G) MiFi wireless-hotspot device, as people use it to connect their iPads to the Internet when on the go.” He failed to exaggerate on actual numbers, although (unless) it’s obvious he’s in favor of Apple’s darl`g tablet sell`g like hotcakes — after all, how else R U go`g to get an iDevice into 4G territory ?

We’ve gotten our hands on some more images of the PlayStation Phone , & gleaned the few more juicy details about the handset. Firstly, as U can C in the photos, the model in question does indeed seem to B codenamed “Zeus” (as V reported on the 27th ). Furthermore, the handset pictured`s runn`g Android 2.2, though apparently there R multiple devices out there w/ different versions on board (includ`g @ least 1 packed w/ Android 3.0). Based on what V know, there’s little chance the phone`ll launch w/ Froyo — although (unless) it’s clear these`ve`en worked on 4 some time w/ various versions of the OS. The device appears to`ve an 8GB microSD card slotted, & @ least 512MB of internal storage (though we’re hop`g it’s the 1GB we’ve heard`ld B present). As U can C from the pictures in the gallery below, the device isn’t exactly thin — V surmise Z the handset`s around 17mm thick, or slightly thicker than HTC’s Touch Pro 2 (and funnily enough, about the same as the PSPgo ). From the design standpoint, the device seems to`ve more in common w/ BlackBerry handsets than previous Sony Ericsson phones; Z smoky chrome bezel which surrounds the device`s definitely giv`g us Torch flashbacks.

Though Verizon famously turned down the original iPhone before Apple ultimately signed the deal w/ AT&T, the company’s outspoken CEO — Ivan Seidenberg –`s`en very careful over the past couple years to note Z he’d love to eventually`ve an iPhone in his lineup . w/ Verizon Wireless boss Lowell McAdam tapped to take over the top job next year, what’d B the better swan song 4 Seidenberg than to finally pull it off? Fortune ‘s new profile of the longstand`g chief exec & elder statesman`s report`g in very matter-of-fact terms Z the CDMA version of the iPhone 4`ll B the reality on Verizon in “early 2011,” lin`g up w/ most of the rumors the interwebs`s`en generat`g over the past few months. The piece details the phone as the culmination of literally years of careful discussions between Seidenberg, McAdams, & Steve Jobs; Verizon’s guys claim Z Jobs acknowledged in late 2007 Z the 2 companies`d “missed something” by fail`g to partner up. The 1st visible fruit of those talks`s the MiFi-bundled iPad Z just launched, although (unless) that’s clearly the minor stepp`g stone on the way to an actual handset. Fortune reports Z Jobs`s voiced his concerns over CDMA in the past & the fact Z it doesn’t work in nearly as many countries as GSM does, although (unless) the story goes on to say Z the 1st model on Verizon’s shelves “probably” won’t B dual-mode & presumably won’t`ve compatibility w/ the company’s shiny new LTE network, either. If true, that’ll make 4 an interest`g battle 4 the spotlight in the 1st few months of 2011 as an EV-DO iPhone wages war w/ the number of LTE phones — some of which look downright gorgeous — & might put Verizon in the awkward position of hav`g to heavily push 2 almost diametrically opposed handset & platform initiatives. Furthermore, it’s hard to deny Z the Verizon iPhone`ld stress the carrier’s network in ways it’s never`en stressed before; they may B prepared 4 it, although (unless) there’s no way of know`g until it all goes down & they get the sense 4 uptake & conquests from AT&T. Translation: McAdam looks to`ve the busy 2011 ahead of him as he transitions into the new office. iPhone locked 4 early 2011 on Verizon, says Fortune originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:23:00 EDT.

Still, V couldn’t help although (unless) give an ear to Sony’s fiscals, & sure enough, someone asked about our ( still real ) PlayStation Phone leak . We’re not sure who answered since it’s through interpreter, either Executive VP / CFO Masaru Kato or Senior General Manager of Investor Relations Division Gen Tsuchikawa (we’re assum`g the former). Cit`g the aforementioned device, the curious party asked if such the product`ld come out of Sony or of Sony Ericsson, & no, it wasn’t the complete denial. Instead, we’re told just how such the device`ld happen, Z the gam`g phone`ld B planned & prototyped under the ( recently restructured ) Network Services umbrella. We’re also told how SCE’s move to Sony City headquarters now puts them closer to the plann`g & engineer`g group, mean`g the company “can better incorporate all these capabilities better… so when the tim`g`s right V can probably announce to U the new product V have.” Ericsson`s later cited as the resource “on smartphone & 4 the games devices,” although this might B someth`g peculiar w/ translation.
