Samsung’s Galaxy Note II U.S. launch event is scheduled to take place in NYC tomorrow night, and so we’re starting to see more carriers out its availability. We’ve seen leaks suggesting T-Mobile will launch the Note II that same day, and Sprint has announced availability for the 25th, however, AT&T won’t be launching it until Nov. 9th. Official word from Ma Bell prices the device at $299.99 with a 2-year contract and a launch date of Novemeber 9th. All you eager beavers will have the opportunity to pre-order starting October 25.

Rumors, Rumors, And More Rumors

Over the weekend, the rumor mill was operating at full throttle, predicting everything we can expect to see at Google’s October 29th Android event in NYC. So what do they have planned for us? Well, here’s what seems to be the rumor consensus:

It’s a beautiful Fall Sunday here on the East Coast and we’re excited to give away some more Android swag! Last week we were giving away a couple Android beanies and today we’re going to announce the lucky winners, as well as give you a chance to win some new swag.

When one company swallows another, it’s common for a slow shift in rebranding and design to occur as the two entities thrash out their roles and relationship. The latest shift in the Logitech-Ultimate Ears story — Logitech purchased UE in 2008 — occured a month or so ago, when Ultimate Ears was rebranded as Logitech UE and launched a suite of high-end, blue-tinged soundware, with a product selection that reached far beyond the in-ear monitors the company has thus far been known for. In fact, out of seven new gadgets, just one new IEM was introduced: the Logitech UE 900 ($400), a quad-armature earphone that now sits at the pinnacle of UE’s non-custom earphone line.

The UE 900 has lineage, of course; we loved the snug fit, solid build and amazing sound of its antecedent, the TripleFi 10. But the TripleFi 10 is gone, and the UE 900 has stepped into its place with new ergonomics, a new sound — and a lot of blue.

Well what do we have here? It appears T-Mobile is holding a showcase in NYC on October 29 — yep, the same day as Google’s Android event as well as Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 event. Coincidence? Maybe… maybe not. Before we get ahead of ourselves, there’s no mention of T-Mobile having anything to do with the Google event, so the chances of them having first dibs on whatever Google announces is unlikely.
