If you’ll remember, we told you not too long ago that Google’s Andy Rubin had taken center stage at an event to show off a prototype Motorola tablet powered by none other than Android 3.0, otherwise known as Honeycomb. While we didn’t get an incredibly in depth look at the device, we did get a chance to see how how much different Honeycomb will be than any version of Android before it.
Now, some new reports have surfaced that say the same Motorola tablet has appeared in Taiwan with the above picture showing it off. Of course, it doesn’t show too much but it was accompanied by some specs that say the Motorola tablet will feature a 1280 x 800 display, an NVIDIA Tegra 2 T20 processor, a 5 megapixel camera, a 2 megapixel front facing camera, 32GB of internal storage and a microSD slot.
Additionally, it’s also said to be coming in both 7 and 10-inch versions. Will this be the tablet that finally topples the iPad and makes the Samsung Galaxy Tab look like child’s play? We’ll have to wait and see.

Social networks are all around us with Facebook becoming so poplar that is spawned the major motion picture The Social Network. However, while Facebook is the largest social network in the world, it does have its worthy competitors. One competitor that is arguably the most worthy is none other than Twitter with seemingly everyone hopping on board.
Since Twitter is such a popular online service, it should come as no surprise that a bunch of mobile developers have produced applications focusing solely on the network. One such application for Android is dubbed Twidroyd which we’ve told you about in the past. Well, if you’re a user of this application you may notice that it features some advertisements making for a slightly less pleasent experience.
Well, it looks like enough users have complained that the makers of Twidroyd have gone ahead and removed the advertisements in the latest build now available on the market. Have you checked out Twidroyd? If so, let us know what you think of it in the comments below.

One of the biggest gripes consumers have with the Android platform is the fact that it’s so difficult to stay up to date. Of course, this isn’t the fault of the consumers but instead the actual hardware manufacturers who have continuously delayed the latest builds of Android. One infamous case of this is the Galaxy S which, here in the United States, has yet to receive the latest update, Android ‘Froyo’ 2.2.
This is quickly becoming a problem especially since Android ‘Gingerbread‘ 2.3 is already making its market. Luckily, those of you with a Galaxy S from either Virgin Mobile or SaskTel will be happy to hear that they are now pushing out the update. News comes to us from Samsung’s Canadian Twitter account that says both Virgin Mobile and SaskTel will join Bell as official providers of the Froyo update.
This is great news for our neighbors to the north but what about us here in the United States? It’s pretty ridiculous that a device as popular as the Galaxy S has yet to receive the update. What gives?

In this day and age everyone is looking to pinch pennies, save as much as they can and when it comes to selling something, make as much as they can. Just about everyone has a car and at some point in their life time, it may come time to sell said car. Unless you’re looking to get shafted at a dealership, you’re most likely headed to the Kelley Blue Book to find out how much your car is worth and then sell it privately, right?
Well, if you’ve got an Android phone and decide that going online to check the value of your car is too troublesome, you’re in luck. It was announced today that the Kelley Blue Book application is now available to download for Google‘s Android mobile operating system. This app also throws in some cool features like a widget that will help you track the value of certain cars along with looking up the best prices on new and used vehicles.
Not the most exciting app, but potentially one of the most useful.

 I recently tried out the Plantronics Voyager Pro+, and I found it is one of the coolest Bluetooth headsets I’ve ever used.
Unlike other Bluetooth headsets, this ones doesn’t require me to pair it every time that I use it. Plantronics wants their Voyager Pro UC to be even more advanced.
The Voyager Pro UC will know when you wear it, and even has an included USB dongle for use with a PC. It can even link up to your menu in Outlook for “Whisper Alerts”.
Looks very good, and I can’t wait to see it at CES 2011.
