LG’s Optimus T is launching fairly soon at T-Mobile. How can we tell? The demos are starting to arrive. TmoNews says the Demo Ts don’t have that WiFi Calling option everyone has been talking about.

Sony just launched four new televisions that are Google TV-capable for sale in the US.

If you haven’t quite caught on, no one has really attached a version number to the Gingerbread. Google has never commented on what the next version number will be after 2.2.

Look at this little piece of news that has stirred up today. This screenshot was leaked by a Motorola employee and shows a model Olympus running Android 3.0.

And they said it couldn’t be done. We have multiple reports of modders overclocking the Motorola DROID X. Neither the eFuse nor the locked bootloader was any match for hackers on a mission.
