Motorola Droid 2 seen in the flesh, sorta

The Motorola Droid 2 is here (sorta!) in its entirety (excluding, pricing, release date, and pictures not by Mr.BlurryCam). Sporting a fashionable 3.7″ display, 5 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi tethering, 8GB internal memory, pre-installed 8GB microSD card, updated version of MOTOBLUR (2.0?), and 750MHz OMAP 3 processor; it’s purportedly running Android 2.1 Eclair instead of FroYo, but hopfully it’ll find it once the original Droid does (no pun intended). And yes folks, your 13-year-old gadget blogger is back from NYC, and will post his 2 new TV interviews later next week.

More Samsung news for you. You like it right? If you’re asking “where’s the Android phones?”, then here’s your treat, courtsey of a leak buried in the MWC 2010 press kit from Sammy. Tomorrow the I8520 ‘Halo’ will debut with a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screen, 720p video, 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, DivX/Xvid playback, Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, GPS, and 16GB storage with a microSD card slot for adding more space.

It will ship Q3 to Europe and Asia with a possible US release. And from the looks of it, the Halo uses the TouchWiz 3.0 UI debuted on the Wave earlier. But with no word on an official US release, the most exciting Samsung phone of the day in fact could end up a little shady. More on this tomorrow!

Breaking: Apple reports record earnings for Q1 2010

It’s breaking news! Apple has posted its record earnings for the first quarter of 2010, which for Apple ended on December 26th, 2009. The results are very grand, and the figures are nothing short of that. What these new sales figures also do is that now, Apple is officially a 50+ billion-a-year company. Here the numbers speak for themselves, in a big way:

  • Revenue of $15.68 billion ($11.88 billion in Q1 2009)
  • 58% of revenue derived from international sales
  • Net quarterly profit of $3.38 billion or $3.67 per diluted share ($2.26 billion, or $2.50 per diluted share in Q1 2009)
  • Gross margin of 40.9 percent (37.9 % in Q1 2009)
  • $5.8 billion generated in cold hard cash

This translates into 3.36 million Macs and 8.7 million iPhones sold, which represents a 33% unit increase for Macintosh sales and 100% unit growth for the iPhone when compared to Q1 2009. The only minor hiccup here is iPod sales; Apple sold 21 million iPods which is 8% less than Q1 2009. Besides amazing sales figures, and Jobs’ alleged statement of the Apple Tablet: “This will be the most important thing I’ve ever done”, he also said, and officially (mind you), “The new products we are planning to release this year are very strong, starting this week with a major new product that we’re really excited about.”

I think I smell Apple Tablet. Full PR after the break.
