T-Mobile’s myTouch line just hasn’t been the same since HTC stopped manufacturing it but nevertheless it lives on. The next iteration is being manufactured by Huawei and has been spotted showing its wares in some candid photos. Not much to get excited about as it’s slated to be a mid-range ‘family’ marketed device. It looks to be running a custom UI on top of Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) and will be available with or without the slide-out keyboard.


Rockstar Games’ hit title L.A. Noire is now available in a touchscreen-friendly tablet version and available for Android users via Onlive. In case you’re unfamiliar with Onlive, it’s a cloud-gaming service that offers on-demand top-tier console gaming streamed live to any supported mobile device, computer, or TV.

While inductive charging isn’t a new concept, this would be the first device able to pull a charge from a couple meters away.

This marketing event seems like fun but I’m pretty sure consumers already have hands-on opportunities with devices before deciding on a purchase. I guess it’s better to have an HTC representative showing you what the device is capable of versus a store rep who probably could care less.

So which cities will they be visiting?


Mr. Blurry Cam (no he doesn’t really exist) has finally captured the mysterious DROID Fighter (the device showing up in leaked Verizon documents) and it appears to be extremely similar to the overly marketed DROID RAZR. In fact, other than its lack of capacitive buttons, I’d swear I was looking at a DROID RAZR MAXX. Really Moto? This is all you could come up with? Apparently the DROID Fighter will have a slightly larger 4.6 inch HD display, on-screen buttons only (like the Galaxy Nexus). and the same ginormous 3300mAh battery as the DROID RAZR MAXX. Meh…
