Moto just put out the word that if you use the leaked Android 2.2 upgrade on your Droid X, you could get stuck with the unofficial release, and you’re on your own. Meaning, there won’t be an upgrade path, so you won’t be able to get the official 2.2 patches. Not necessarily something new, although HTC did go unconventional earlier this month when they put out a special Android 2.2 update patch for those who used a leaked Android 2.2 on their EVO 4Gs.
First off, this phone is not the Nokia C6 (technically, also known as the “C6-00”), which was introduced back in April. Thanks to a premature posting by Nokia’s Dutch site, we got an early look at what could be a cheaper, but better-specced version called the C6-01.
It’s not clear how they got the info, but Notebook Italia just put out a full spec list, photos, and an official name (apparently, it’s going to be called the Folio 100) for Toshiba’s upcoming tablet before the official introduction. Looks pretty good too. The Android 2.2 OS and 10.1-inch widescreen (1024 x 600) multitouch display was a bit predictable, but the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor looks like a good bonus if you’re into watching downscaled HD content on a tablet.
We’ve seen rugged/waterproof point-and-shoot cams before. You know the type: easy-click compacts that can take a 3-foot drop onto concrete and plunge down to around 10 feet of water. Ricoh’s new rugged cam, the G700, offers something new though: chemical resistance. Specifically, the housing can handle disinfection with ethanol and hypochlorous acid aside from the usual soap and water mix you’d normally use on your regular pool-party snapper.
That collective sigh you just heard came from PS3 gamers in Australia, after a court ruled in favor of Sony that temporarily bans Oz Modchips and Quadtronics from distributing the PS Jailbreak USB device in the country. The PS Jailbreak USB dongle allows gamers to copy and load games into the Playstation 3’s hard drive, which opens the console up to software piracy by allowing games to run without loading the original game disc.
