EVO 4G getting Android 2.2 this weekend?


Engadget is reporting that HTC EVO 4G owners may be getting Android Deuce Deuce as soon as this weekend. The blog received a whole heap of Sprint corporate slides that detail a launch plan; the plan includes an official announcement scheduled for tomorrow and code rollout beginning on August 1st. The slides also detail tons of improvements made to the phone’s software, some of which include: improved 720p video recording, Flash 10.1 support, 4-point orientation rotation, alpha-numeric pins for device unlock, and the ability to use the LED-flash as a flashlight. Who’s excited?

Motorola Droid 2 User Manual confirms Android 2.2 Froyo?

Why hello, Motorola Droid 2 User Guide, we’ve been expecting you – especially since you seem to confirm that the Droid 2 will have Android 2.2 Froyo at launch.


The User Guide shows the Droid 2 having the Froyo Google search menu (see the third photo below), so I’d say there are very slim chances for the smartphone not to be shipped with the latest version of Android.

Another thing that’s apparently confirmed is the presence of the same MotoBlur skin featured on the Droid X, and the Swype-powered virtual keyboard.

Witnesses Saw Mel Gibson Hit Oksana Grigorieva

Did Mel Gibson attack Oksana Grigorieva physically?

The actor and his attorneys have not said a word about the infamous tapes, which makes sense. It's pretty clearly him on the phone, and there's no explaining away remarks such as "You should just say you're sorry and BLOW ME!!!!!!"


But he's adamantly denied any violence, and his fans have accused Oksana of being a gold-digging liar. Might there be witnesses who saw it, however?

According to TMZ, sources connected to Oksana Grigorieva say "third party witnesses" will tell L.A. County Sheriff's investigators they saw Mel Gibson punch her in the face January 6 during a heated altercation at her home.

This is the same alleged fight that they appear to reference in some of the tapes, and that she Oksana emailed her attorney about just hours after.

'Avatar' Star Zoe Saldana Not Tangled Up in Blue in Revealing Calvin Klein Ads

'Avatar' star Zoe Saldana reveals plenty more than she did on Pandora in this trio of just-released images from the Fall 2010 line. Saldana wears Calvin Klein's Envy bra, which is part of the company's new Coverage Level System.


In the Saldana ads (via our pals at StyleList), shot by Mikael Jansson in New York, Saldana wears different styles of bras from the Envy collection, the skimpiest of the three coverage levels, which makes sense given her smaller bust size and the fact that the more flesh we see of Saldana's, the better sales are going to be for CK.

The other two levels of coverage are dubbed Perfectly Fit, which provides mid-level coverage, and Seductive Comfort, which offers the highest level of coverage and support due to a larger cup, as well as thicker straps and band.

Nintendo 3DS Availability and Price Will be Announced on September 29th, Nintendo Announces


This is a good way to start your Nintendo news for the day. In a move that may seem confusing to some, Nintendo has come forward today and made an official announcement regarding the Nintendo 3DS — the new, handheld video game console that features glasses-free 3D technology. While there’s been plenty of rumors about when it’s coming out, with plenty of strange confirmations from Nintendo themselves (that were subsequently pulled from the record), it looks like Nintendo’s getting ready to announce the pricing and release date. Ready enough to announce that their ready, anyway.

Apple's Magic Trackpad gets the iFixit teardown treatment, nothing terribly magical found


Well, we knew it wouldn't take very long, and it didn't: iFixit's gotten its hands on Apple's Magic Trackpad and ripped it to shreds. This is one operation they're not shy about calling delicate, folks -- this thing is seriously thin and its components packed in quite lovingly. So what's going on in there? Well, besides the magical dust, they found a Broadcom BCM2042 chip, which is the same one the Magic Mouse uses for Bluetooth connectivity, and a Broadcom BCM5974 touchscreen controller chip, which also powers the iPhone and iPod touch. There is plenty to be seen in the photos at the source, and there's one more below.

YouTube makes your fifteen minutes of fame 15 minutes

Long-video makers can rejoice, as YouTube has extended the allotted time of user uploads from 10 to 15 minutes.

According to a Thursday post on YouTube's blog, increasing the limit was the most requested feature by YouTube users, though it had to be put on hold while the company worked on other projects and behind-the-scenes infrastructure. In March, for instance, the company announced that 24 hours of video was uploaded every minute. That's up from around six hours just three years ago. Given the new limit, that's a metric that's likely to keep on growing.

When YouTube first launched in 2005, users could actually upload clips that were longer than 10 minutes, though without limits it was easy to upload full-length, copyrighted content. YouTube responded by creating the limit, as well as adding new account types like "director," "comedian," "musician," and "guru," which would require a few extra steps of registration, but remove the time limit altogether. The rest of the YouTube population simply got around the limits by splitting up shows into 10-minute chunks, which would work until YouTube's content filters flagged it as a violation.

Leehom Wang’s new album delayed till Aug. 13th


Remember when Heartbeat was delayed for 3 months? No surprise here, even the Music Man himself said he was busy finishing the album last week on chat night. Leehom Wang’s new album 18 Martial Arts was scheduled for release on July 30th, but it has been pushed back to August 13th (for now), which is the same day when his movie Love in Disguise hits theaters. As a show of gratitude for the fans’ patience, his record company announced the preorder version will include an additional set of postcards from the movie.

Leehom visited Hitfm on the 28th to promote his album as the Hito star of August. The “18 Martial Arts” singer demonstrated the art of cooking by making sunny-side up eggs. Apparently, cooking is not one of the 18 arts he has mastered, as Chef Leehom was caught for his overly generous use of oil and soy sauce. DJ Ah Juan joked that she might need to go on kidney dialysis after the taste test, but she gave him high praises anyway in the end.

He also had several sexy female dancers around him, making the fangirls in the audience scream in jealousy.

He exposed himself that he's bad at remembering lyrics, the captions machine encountered some problems during the concert, he teased himself saying that he's "second headmaster." Speaking of the Miss HK getting booed, Raymond expressed: "I onlt heard loud sounds. (Consider cutting that part?) Ask the producer, but then I don't have anough time to change my costumes?" Reporters insisted on the question and asked 3 times again, Raymond begged for mercy: "Don't force me, I didn't watch the clip. (Especially filmed for the concert?) I think so, it's broadcast for the first time. (It has all the contestants' numbers and names in it!) Really? Then when I appeared in the MV, did they show my name?"
