As you already know, the HTC Tattoo will be a cheap handset supposedly running the Donut build of Android – 1.6. Well, it has just passed the FCC with Bluetooth / WiFi support, and quad-band GSM/EDGE with HSDPA 900 / 2100 MHz connectivity. Check out the official FCC listing here.

We’ve already seen the I5700 Galaxy Lite running Android in the white / lime green flavour, so the more interesting colour is on the right side which is a black / red colour which – I think – looks better. I like my devices black. More or less the full spec sheet is below, courtesy of Tmo Today. And yes, that does say TouchWiz, so we could be seeing a bit of Samsung manipulating on this handset – unlike the original I7500 Galaxy.

Update: According to Tech Radar, this handset could be delayed until early 2010. That would suck.

At IDF, Point Grey has just awesomely demonstrated their USB 3.0 webcam that will allow you to show off yourself in uncompressed 1080p video at 60fps. Talk about wicked stuff. Gizmodo said, “It’s definitely the sharpest webcam image I’ve ever seen, giving crystal-clear picture even on the huge 42-inch demo monitor.” So, yes, this is a big deal. Unfortunately, USB 3.0 is not entirely mainstream at this point, so you’ll need a PCI-Express-to-USB-3.0 card if you’re really interested. This webcam will be available late this year or early next year, but the price hasn’t been mentioned yet.

Like we kept on hearing last week, the Wii price cuts looks like it will be in effect in a couple of days. On Sunday, September 27th, the Nintendo Wii will drop to $199.99 USD. There’s not much left to mention here, but it does state that Nintendo will make this all official this Friday (my birthday), September 25th.

It looks like that rumour we heard was true, Microsoft is really working on a new dual-screen booklet / notebook kind of thing. I assume the codename is “Courier” right now, but this does looks pretty interesting. This booklet sports two 7-inch displays that can fold into a book. And yes, it has support for multi-touch gestures and you can also use a stylus – but who would want to? This booklet supposedly has a camera on the back – and hopefully it’ll also have one on the front.

Apparently though, the UI is “complex.” It looks to me like Microsoft could be paving the way for Apple’s iTablet to blow them out of the water – at least that’s what I think and I’m not even a big Apple fan. The design is fairly interesting though. Could this be a sign of the future textbooks for school?

You can check out this Gizmodo link for a video on the Microsoft Courier.

Update: Just in case I never made it clear, this is a real device and it’s in “late prototype” stage right now, so Microsoft did a great job keeping it a secret. Unfortunately, we don’t know when or how much it will launch for right now. Hopefully it’ll launch right before the holidays.

According to various reports, Rogers’ employees are now going through training for the BlackBerry Curve 8520. Since the staff is going through training now, we should see this smartphone launch early next month (October). You can wait for that or the Bold 9700 if you’re patient enough.

According to Sony Insider, they have spotted the PSP Go at Sony Style stores. In case they’re not in stores yet, apparently they will be in Sony Style stores exclusively starting tomorrow. Check out what they thought below.

“Oh my, I see an improved Mylo device I have back in my VAIO Dooney & Bourke messenger bag.” The engineers who stood behind the design of Mylo definitely shared some ideas with PSP hardware team in one of the backrooms. First thing that attracted me was the brightness of the screen (and I so smell the next gen PSP to have an OLED display), it was pretty crisp too and I did not notice the smaller size of the LCD at all compared to its older brother. The UI was fluid – something we are used to already, however I really liked the way you can switch between the Home menu to the screen saver menu. I asked if that same functionality will be ported to the older PSPs, however was told that it would stay exclusive to PSPgo. Reps also had a couple of games like Gran Turismo for PSP available to showcase.

Apple started it all with their App Store and I give a lot of credit to them for doing that. It looks like even Intel is going to start their own app store in the future. They are kicking off their “Intel Atom Developer Program” which will “unlock a netbook’s potential while opening a new sales and distribution channel.” Those are just fancy words for an incoming app store.

Intel has just unveiled their latest notebook that will definitely be expensive, but it’ll definitely be awesome. This new notebook concept / prototype by Intel has three (yes, three) OLED displays right above the keyboard. “They can be used to play media without taking up space on the main display but can also interact with each other: a video queued in one can be played on the other. Content can also be dragged to and from the sub-displays as well as the main LCD.” We don’t know if / when this will hit the shelves, but if you’re really interested you should start saving your money now.
