The Motorola Droid X website is alive and kicking! Mainly, what you see on it is the above image, and some confirmed specs: a 4.3-inch screen, HDMI-out, and according to Verizon “720p screen”. Now all that’s needed is a press release, don’t ya think?
UPDATED: Thinking about it now, the words “720p” screen must definitely be a typo. When we first leaked out an image of the Droid X (a long time ago), one of the confirmed specs was 720p video recording. Otherwise, that June 23rd event by Verizon, Motorola, and Adobe is going to be presenting the Droid X, and hopefully the new successor to the grandfather Droid — the QWERTY-sliding Droid 2.

What happens when you have the XPERIA X10, which is too large, and the XPERIA X3, which is way to freakin’ small? Welll, you make one called the XPERIA X8, that’s what! Exactly, you resolves the problem by releasing another handset using an outdated version of Android. Packing a 3″ HVGA display, 3.2 megapixel camera, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, 128MB of internal memory, 600MHz processor, and Android 1.6 with UX user interface, this might jjust be the perfect choice for you. Not that we think it’s coming on US soil though; although it’s possible, since it has quad-band 850 and 1900MHz of UMTS/HSDPA radios.
The HTC Desire, by far one of the most beautiful handsets ever made, is headed to “select regional operators” in the month of August. Keeping in line the same specs as the Nexus One (1Ghz Snapdragon, Android 2.1 with Sense UI, 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED screen) the lines select regional operators means that the Desire won’t be headed to any of the big four: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile (in that order). So then, who’s ready and waiting? A lot, for sure.
The iPhone 4 pre-order saga continues. Confidential information has been stolen, wrong billing addresses and wrong shipping addresses, AT&T’s pre-ordering system going down, along with Apple’s. It’s been chaos. Such to a point where the ordering systems mix up your info, so you could pay for an iPhone 4, and it arrives at LaptopMemo HQ’s doorstep! It’s that simple! Whether or not the 600,000 iPhones pre-ordered will arrive at the correct addresses, we don’t know, but we do know that they were purchased.
The iPhone 4, is available for pre-order on Apple’s online Store, for about $199.99 on a 2-year contract with AT&T. I’m told that the white iPhone 4, is obviously not on sale. That’s interesting, due to the fact that it’s been circling the rumor mill for quite a while now that Apple wouldn’t ship out the white iPhone as soon as we thought it would. Quoting the Apple Store, “White iPhone currently unavailable for pre-order or in-store pickup.” You can get it in black though, for $199 with a 16GB hard drive, or $299 for 32GB. Once you pre-order the phone, you can have it exactly June 24, or available for in-store pick-up.
The Apple Mac Mini just got updated to a unibody style, with an SD card and HDMI port. Finally. It starts at $699 (a little too much for the Mini, in my opinion) and comes with a 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, HDMI-out is finally in, along with the SD card reader, 802.11n wireless, a Mini DisplayPort jack, and what Apple finally decided to boost the Mac Mini’s reputation, with an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics chip inside. Besides the above, basic package, there’s another option for a faster processor, more RAM, and more hard drive space. Not bad, Apple. Not bad.
