At last, T-Mobile just went official with its G2 QWERTY slider. As expected, this Android 2.2 device ships with Qualcomm's MSM7230 Snapdragon silicon optimized for T-Mobile's HSPA+ network with an 800MHz CPU and second generation application co-processor. Other specs include a 3.7-inch screen, 4GB of internal memory with pre-installed 8GB microSD card (supporting up to 32GB cards), Swype keyboard, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and 5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash and 720p HD video capabilities. Oh, and web browsing is supported by Adobe's Flash Player. Look for this successor of the T-Mobile G1 to go up for pre-orders sometime later this month.

Although Miriam Yeung's concert is happening soon, she's appearing every day at events. Last night, she attended an event for a magazine. Miriam expressed that she'll begin her retreats later this month because it is the time to promote for her new album, so must accommodate. Also, in addition to her concert rehearsals she'll have to attend some public functions that she accepted earlier on. Looks like she's only able to tell herself that lots of work, lots of money to comfort herself. She smiled: "I am very exhausted, if you tell me something now, I can already fall asleep."
Regarding to the poster to her new movie with Raymond Lam Perfect Wedding (抱抱俏佳人) being said to plagiarize Western film Yours Mine And Ours. Miriam saw the poster to the movie the media referred to and said: "Not the same, I have to use my two legs to cramp onto Raymond. Also our pose is more conservative. I remember when we were shooting the poster, Raymond was very embarrassed, but I am the older sister, so I'm a bit more relaxed. I did not dare to let my husband see it, I hid it for several months, when he asked me I would just say it's made through photoshop."

Way to take the wind out of our sails, ARM -- no sooner does your dual-core Cortex-A9 finally ship, do you reveal an even more powerful smartphone, smartbook and server-slaying beast. The Cortex-A15 MPCore picks up where the A9 left off, but with reportedly five times the power of existing SOCs, raising the bar for ARM-based single- and dual-core cell phone processors up to 1.5GHz... or as high as 2.5GHz in quad-core server-friendly rigs with hardware virtualization baked in and support for well over 4GB of memory. One terabyte, actually. Like we'd heard, the ARMv7-A "Eagle" chips are destined for Texas Instruments, but ST-Ericsson and Samsung as also named as "lead licensees," so we fully expect to see some badass silicon powering a Galaxy when the 32nm and 28nm parts ship in 2013. Press release and video after the break, replete with ARM partner companies fawning over the new hotness. We can't really blame them.

Galaxy Tab? Who needs that overpriced prima donna? Here's the tablet the economical among us have been waiting for. Alright, so the Elocity A7 didn't elicit the highest of praise when it made its cameo on The Engadget Show, but let's congratulate its makers on achieving a pair of feats. Firstly, StreamTV has managed to get its Froyo tablet listed for pre-order on Amazon -- which is no mean feat in itself, just ask Notion Ink -- and secondly, it's done so at an even lower price point than promised, with an encouraging $370 tag. Even if you're like us and not entirely blown away by its performance, you've got root for this little slate to complete the narrative and start selling -- if for no other reason than that it might incite others to stoop to the same price point.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have a new place to kick back -- a $40 million mansion in the hills of Valpolicella in northern Italy. It's the couple's third home, joining their LA pad and a $3.5 million New Orleans house.
According to the Daily Mail, the dream home sports a vineyard, stables, a movie theater, a gym, two swimming pools, all in 18,000 square feet with 15 bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
"Angelina apparently fell in love with Italy after filming 'The Tourist' there earlier this year," the Daily Mail writes. "She and Brad intend to use the Italian property as a vacation home and continue to use their Loz Feliz house as their main base."
The couple, who have six children, plan to restore the mansion.

As predictable as the sun rising somewhere over east Japan, the iFixit crew have put their tools and wits to the task of deconstructing the latest generation of iPod touch. Their teardown is still ongoing (exciting, isn't it?), but here are their observations so far. The new touch is noted as being the easiest to crack open yet, and yes, its retina-busting 640 x 960 LCD is fused to the external glass, just like the iPhone 4. There's an 11-gram EMI shield between the front end and the battery, accounting for a lofty 10 percent of the portable media player's weight. Beyond it, you'll find a chunky 3.44Whr Li-Pol cell, which is soldered to the board as is usual Apple practice, but a novelty here is that the headphone jack isn't. Great, tie down the thing we might want to replace and untether the one we don't care about. We'll keep you updated with any other salient info as it arises, but for now, go check out the source link for more pictures of the undressed iPod touch.
Jen 'n Courteney: together again!
ABC has released new pics of Jennifer Aniston filming her cameo on Cougar Town, in which her best pal and former Friends cohort Courteney Cox stars.
In the show's Sept. 22 season-two premiere, Aniston, 41, will play a "shrink named Bonnie" to Cox's character Jules, the show's executive producer Bill Lawrence told Entertainment Weekly.
Google on Wednesday introduced a faster version of its search engine called Google Instant that begins displaying results as soon as users type in queries.
According to the company, the feature shaves off 2 to 5 seconds from user searches since it brings up results nearly as fast as it does for its auto-suggest feature. In fact, it will automatically do a search for the top auto-suggestion before a user has even selected it.
Google estimates that if all its users switch over to the instant interface, it will amount to a savings of 11 hours of searching per second.

If you can just put down Angry Birds for one minute and plug your iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 2nd generation, iPod touch 3rd generation, or iPod touch 4th generation into iTunes, you should be in for a pleasant non-surprise: iOS 4.1 is finally out and ready for your consumption. It's not a huge update, but Game Center is an exciting addition (for the few, proud devices that are getting it), and we're sure your face will be happy to stop getting accused for iPhone 4 hang-ups with the long overdue proximity sensor fix (shots of the changelog are after the break). Let us know how 4.1 is treating you in comments below.

JYJ (JaeChunSu), which consists of Xiah Junsu, Jaejoong, and Yoochun, recently released both an album and a DVD in Japan.
Their album, “THE…“, was released on September 8th, and it topped the Oricon daily charts, selling 71,733 copies. Furthermore, the DVD of their Thanksgiving live ranked first as well.
The City of Lights has become the City of Love for Halle Berry.
Berry, 44, has been spotted cozying up to her Dark Tide costar Olivier Martinez, 44, in his hometown of Paris. The two have been seen smooching and exploring the city, embracing a Hollywood-style romance straight out of a movie.
"It was the classic 'I'm going to kiss you here in a dark corner' move," an onlooker tells PEOPLE of Berry and Martinez's romantic romp. "And she was waiting to be kissed."
The duo spent Sunday afternoon combing through the streets arm in arm, taking in a pit stop at the Paris flea market.
"They had their arms around each other as they walked," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "They were both smiling and laughing Their body language was very flirtatious. They definitely seemed like a couple – absolutely looked like more than friends."
The two sped off on Martinez's motorcycle before dining at the intimate Casa Bini restaurant. After dinner, Martinez led Berry on a cozy back-streets tour of the St. Germain district at dusk, including Place Saint-Sulpice and its fountain. En route to his Paris pad, the couple stopped along a narrow street and kissed in a doorway for two minutes, says an onlooker.

Lady Gaga stopped her performance short at her 'Monster Ball' in Washington, D.C. last night, after a fight broke out in the crowd. "Stop the music! Stop fighting! Do not fight at this show," Gaga exclaimed to the unseen offenders, leading the rest of her audience of rapt "little monsters" to break out in excitement. "This is all about love and unity and happiness -- no fighting."
The pop star wasted no time finding her place after the incident, however, promptly asking the crowd, "Do you think I'm sexy? I think you're sexy."

UBS analyst Maynard Um has raised his stock price target for Apple, Inc. to $350 from $340. The move comes as Um predicts upwards of 28 million iPads could be sold in 2011; a number the analyst described as “conservative.” Mr. Um is also predicting 52 million iPhones to be sold in the 2011 calendar year. Um continued: “We continue to favor product plays such as Apple as the company should have some of the most highly sough referred t after products in the holiday quarter. Despite tough economic conditions, consumers remain willing to pay for innovation. Despite increasing competition in smartphones and that which is soon to come in tablets, Apple’s ability to keep its products fresh and innovative gives us confidence in our estimates going forward.” Unlike 2010, the iPad will be competing with multiple Android tablet devices — such as Samsung’s Galaxy Tab — that offer similar functionality in 2011.

From now on, instead of using the usual two dozen baboons to randomly write Gizmodo's articles, I am going to use Google Scribe, a new Google Labs application that suggests the next word or group of words as you write.
In fact, this whole article was fully composed in Google Scribe. It saved quite a bit of typing. What is more: The sentence on the image above was fully composed by Google Scribe itself, after I typed the first letter. I only kept choosing options at random until it was done.

Today at their Google Search event in San Francisco, executive Marissa Mayer kicked things off with a big state: Google is now serving 1 billion users each week.
Mayer noted that they have some big announcements coming up today (likely these), but first reiterated that they’ve already done a lot this year. In 2009, Google rolled out 500 UI and ranking changes — in 2010 so far, they’re already past that. “This stands to be the best year ever for Google Search,” Mayer said.
Mayer noted that some of the big things so far this year have been Caffeine (the 50 percent faster results), Real-Time, Spelling Corrections, Questions & Answers, Stars in Search, and the Redesign (the left panel).
Looking to tell her own side of the story, Lindsay Lohan may make a stop at 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' this fall.
Rumors indicate that Apple has already begun designing the next-generation iPhone, which I’ll call iPhone 5 from here on. This, of course, makes sense, as the average time from the start of the design process to market in the mobile phone business is 18 months. So even if Apple work faster, they still would need to have started already.
As voted by 20,000 music fans, popular idol group Arashi took the top spot in the '2010 My Favourite Artist Ranking'. Results were announced on the 8th. Since 2004, entertainment magazine Ori★Suta has been running the poll annually. Last year was Arashi's first year to make it to the top 10, earning a respectable fourth place finish. This year however, they have already climbed straight to the top.
Hong Kong model Angelababy revealed on Tuesday during a publicity event that she had taken the unusual step of getting a cosmetic surgeon to confirm she had not gone under the knife to enhance her facial features, reported Hong Kong media.
As reported earlier, Joe Cheng made a surprising move from GTV to star in a SETTV web drama. It looks like they are about to extend their collaboration further. SETTV is apparently starting production on a new idol drama called “X頻道 (X Channel)”. The title might suggest it’s some kind of sci-fi or adult programming, but it is in fact the name of a news network. The series will be directed by Jiang Feng Hong, who most recently worked on Summer's Desire and is also leaving GTV.

Granted, I’m sleep-deprived, which brings emotions to the surface easier, but I was just reading Empire‘s excellent cover story on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and teared up. Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint almost got me talking about the battle of Hogwarts, which is essentially the second half of the last film: “In the courtyard there’s this huge pile of rubble; you almost want Panzer tanks coming over it,” Radcliffe says. Adds Grint later in the piece, “It turns into a bit of a war film. The castle is on fire with rubble and bodies littered everywhere — and they’re all kids as well! It’s quite moving.” Radcliffe nearly got me talking about Harry’s showdown with Voldemort: “I mean, Voldemort does absolutely kick six bells out of me, and that’s what makes it effective, the fact that Harry’s a kid having the crap beaten out of him. If it’s Voldemort killing an adult — well he does that loads in the films. To see him brutalising and desperately trying to kill a 17-year-old boy is hopefully going to shake some people up.” And Emma Watson totally got me explaining a scene written specifically for the screen of Hermione leaving her parents’ home — and erasing their memories of her. “You don’t read that in the book; you just know she does it…. You see Ron’s home and Harry’s. But you never really get a sense of Hermione’s life outside Hogwarts, outside that friendship, and it’s important,” Watson says. “She’s not just going off to school for another year. You’re choosing between family and friends; it’s pretty brutal. They offer her a cup of tea, completely unaware that anything’s about to happen, and then I cast a spell that wipes their memory of me. There’s photos all around the room, actual childhood pictures of me, and they just dissolve. It’s horrible. And then I have to shut the door and walk out alone.”
If you like love triangles where both male contenders are super handsome and super rich, Summer’s Desire is the right drama for you. The last episode officially aired on September 5th giving the audience a final answer to who the main actress chose. Throughout its airing time, Summer’s Desire did not break through any TV ratings, nor did it attract many attention. However, those who are avid fans have stuck with the drama to its very end.
