Asus just gave details—or at least a few photos—for an all-new netbook that’ll be designated as the Eee PC 1218. No word on an actual spec, but this new fourth-gen Eee PC stands out with a brushed aluminum shell (including a single-piece aluminum palm rest and keyboard frame), a unique port layout, and smooth curved edges.
HTC’s Droid Incredible, the Android-running smartphone that’s currently on top of Verizon’s Android phone line, is now available. Packing a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen and 4GBs of internal storage space, it’s an upgrade over the Motorola Droid. It sports a spec that’’s mostly comparable with the Nexus One, but an 8MP cam and HTC’s updated Sense UI interface is an upgrade over Google’s smartie.
Amazon has announced a new Version 2.5 software update for the Kindle and Kindle DX that adds a number of features and improvements for the popular reader, most notably the ability to update Facebook and Twitter accounts with favorite quotes or passages from a book.

We’re not sure how many people will necessarily get swayed into buying an E72 because of a new color option, but in case you needed another reason to pick one up (you really don’t need another reason. The E72 is solid.), it now comes in a special White edition kit. This comes roughly a month after they introduced the attention-grabbing purple E72.
The partnership between GPS-maker Garmin and electronics giant Asus is on a roll. After releasing the nüvifone M10 and A50 so far this year and the Garminfone under T-Mobile earlier this month, they’re launching another one called the A10. It’s still based on Android, and it still heavily focuses on GPS as much as it’s a phone, but this separates itself from the other nüvifones with a custom GPS app for on-foot navigation.
