He’s figured out how to make the Streak a more willing partner for your su exploits, and has kindly shared the details.

The last time we saw eviGroup’s Wallet it’d been given an ’80s-style two-tone bezel and a January release date. Thankfully, the two-tone look has gone, but that anticipated date didn’t exactly pan out either. The MID is officially now shipping, with the base (chrome-free) model going for €199 (about $245).

Good morning to you too, Dell ! Android Central’s just gotten hold of yet another leak from the Texan computer giant, only this time we have two new Android or Linux (as suggested by the Tux icon) Moblin devices. First, we have the Sparta netbook tablet featuring an 11-inch 1024 x 768 TFT display, ARM processor, optional connectivity modules (3G, WiFi, Bluetooth) and a unique swivel mechanism — the screen appears to be rotatable within its frame. The second device is the Athens sub-0.9kg (1.98 pounds) netbook sporting the same screen size, ARM processor and optional connectivity modules

When people say the smartphone market is growing, they don’t usually mean literally, but looking at the massive popularity of HTC’s HD2 whopper, and the anticipation surrounding Dell’s Mini 5 and LG’s GW990 , it’s pretty safe to say there is a market for oversized and overpowered (is there such a thing?) handsets. The Moorestown-powered GW990 has made another video appearance, this time showing off its multi-screen functionality and not altogether smooth pinch-to-zoom skills.

ASUS may be in the process of spinning off the Pegatron brand, but for now it’s still the same company behind this here slick white smartbook. Running the inevitable Android OS on a 10-inch display, but offering the never-boring Tegra 2 combo of 1080p playback and up to a “full day” of WiFi-enabled battery juice, the prototype machine was being shown off to give us a hint of what’s to come. We’re told the Neo is definitely coming later in the year, though the particulars of the price tag and distributor badge are not yet revealed

Egad. We had such high hopes for the Camangi WebStation , but as with a few other non-phone devices that have attempted to use Android, it seems as if this 7-inch slate falls a bit short in practice.

Remember that new and improved reference MID that Elektrobit (better known as EB) announced back at IDF ? Yeah, that very device was on hand at Intel’s booth at CEATEC , though not a soul was allowed to touch it. The unit was neatly planted beneath freshly Windexed glass alongside three others , two of which certainly put an impressive label on Wistron .

Dual-panel netbooks weren’t the only takeaway from Kohjinsha’s CEATEC booth, as the company also had on hand a pair of sleek MIDs. Both lightweight, Windows XP-powered touchscreen portables, the PA boasted a 4.8-inch swivel display with 1024 x 600 resolution, a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 with 512MB RAM, a 32GB SSD , and a sleek industrial design. The PM is actually a bit old hat now, living a double life as the mbook M1

We still get the impression that MIDs are struggling to find a market that cares about them, but with Intel refusing to give up hope just yet, a raft of manufacturers are on hand at IDF to showcase new reference designs.
