Verizon's 8.2-inch Droid Xyboard with 4G LTE Pictured, Name Seems to Stick for New XOOM Models

When we first caught wind of the rumors, we questioned whether or not Motorola and Verizon would choose to brand the new XOOM 2 and XOOM 2 Media Edition under a different name. With the first XOOM launching as a Verizon exclusive, it seemed logical the name would stay around. Instead, not only will the new line of tablets likely get a Droid prefix, but also the new Xyboard moniker.

Another day, another rumored tablet. Another new rumored HTC device, period. This time we're being treated to an early look at the HTC Quattro, a 10.1 inch tablet rumored to have NVIDIA's quad-core Tegra 3 processor inside.

TP-Link Portable 3G Wireless N Router fits in your pocket, draws power from USB

Sure, we may be fast approaching the 12th year of the 21st century, but as you may have noticed, planet Earth has yet to be coated in a warm, fuzzy blanket of WiFi. And yes, we're just as befuddled as you. For now - and for the foreseeable future as well - we'll need to continue furnishing our own provisions for reliable wireless internet access, which is often no small feat. Fortunately, if you're able to find a USB 3G modem or Ethernet connection, TP-Link's new Portable 3G/3.75G Wireless N Router (TL-MR3020) can hook you up with WiFi for a mere $40.

Acer Iconia Tab A700/A701 Surface, Could Have Full HD Display and Tegra 3

As the first reports of the upcoming Acer Iconia Tab A700 and A701 emerge, it isn't so surprising that the tablets will likely feature the quad-core Tegra 3 processor. The chipset follows up the highly-favored Tegra 2 and is already seeing its fair share of deployment in future Android slates. Slightly more interesting is the suggestion that the A700/A701 will feature full HD displays with 1080p resolution. The information was gleaned from a user agent profile, which aren't always the most trustworthy sources of information.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V now available in the US unlocked for $349.99, Xperia Arc S in stock too

Yesterday we told you that you could order an unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S from Sony's US online store, yet it was unclear when the phones would start shipping. Thankfully, one press release later, we now know: tomorrow. Furthermore, you can also get the Xperia Neo V from the same outlet. The price being asked is $349.99, and again you'll receive an unlocked device for use on any GSM-based network. That said, you're pretty much stuck on EDGE on T-Mobile, so AT&T should be your carrier of choice if you decide to go through with this purchase.

Belkin LiveAction iPhone Camera Accessories

The almost useless Camera Grip and the very handy Remote from Belkin . Belkin has popped out two new accessories for iPhone-wielding photographers — the LiveAction Camera Grip and the LiveAction Camera Remote. The Grip adds a physical shutter-release to your iPhone, plugging into the 30-pin dock connector and working in tandem with a free companion app. It has two buttons, one for stills and one for video, and costs $50. A few months ago this may have seemed like a good idea, but now iOS5 lets us use the volume-up button to snap a photo, it seems rather pointless.

Exploit discovered in Siri servers, promises cross-platform access to the foolhardy

A few clever folk have had some fun with Siri lately, first by making it do the time warp with the Fat Mac and then by shoehorning it into an iPhone 3GS. Neither development is quite so intriguing, however, as a purported exploit that enables any device to access to Siri's remote server. While this certainly holds great potential for Siri apps on numerous platforms, the mystical floodgates to the masses are unlikely to open any time soon. You see, the hackers have since learned that for seamless communication to take place, a unique identifier from an iPhone 4S must be provided to the mothership in Cupertino.

Toyota FCV-R - bringing hydrogen a step closer to reality

Toyota's third concept for Tokyo will be the FCV-R (Fuel Cell Vehicle - Reality & Revolution), which it says is a practical, family-sized vehicle fuelled by hydrogen. The 4.7 metre-long sedan features seating for four and impressive luggage space, made possible by housing the fuel-cell beneath the specially-designed bodyshell. Minimal details about it, but Toyota says the fuel cell stack, which includes a 70 MPa high-pressure hydrogen tank, is capable of giving the FCV-R a cruising range of approximately 692 km, measured under a Japanese JC08 test cycle.

Netflix probably figured out that reinventing itself from time to time to look fresh and relevant is always a boon – which could be the reason why they have revamped their Android tablet app's look. If you happen to own an Android-powered tablet with the Netflix app, why don't you give it an update and see whether you jive with the new design or not. You will no longer be able to see the previous beige and red scheme, but rather, the immersive user interface in place will be able to let your eyes enjoy the cover art in its fullness. Seems to resemble the most recent set-top box version, don't you think so.
