Adobe actually said "a few weeks" just before the launch of the Xoom back in February.

My crystal ball says March 25th 2011 to coincide with the 15th anniversary of Flash.

T-Mobile G-Slate coming out with Honeycomb and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 support
Has anyone seen T-Mobile's sign-up page for the T-Mobile G-Slate?
Our first 4G tablet with Android™ 3.0 (Honeycomb)
4G and Wi-Fi capable
Brilliant 8.9" HD screen
Dual rear-facing 5MP cameras for 3D video capture, HD video capture, and photo capture
Front facing camera for video chat

Notice where it states that it has support for Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1!

Hmmm odd. This is frustrating.

Motorola XOOM™: Redefining the Tablet Experience
Motorola XOOM is redefining what a tablet experience can be as the world’s first device to run Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Google’s powerful operating system designed specifically for tablets and featuring the latest Google Mobile Innovations. Motorola XOOM also comes with support for Adobe® Flash® Player, allowing you to browse the web with full access to Flash sites, videos and games. Enjoy all of this on the Motorola XOOM’s 10.1” HD widescreen display, enabling HD video content that’s richer and clearer than ever before.
---------------------------
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

What frustrates me about all this update business is the serious lack of communication from Google, and from Adobe. What happened to release dates? There shouldn't have to be rumors about software updates.

If only we could get the Nvidia Tegra/APX interface on the HD
I think that would make the HD's interface amazing.

Lol, I will really lmaO when this (nicely) photoshopped HD from here makes it again to the news-headlines, just like the "HD Pro" haha.
Like: "HTC and nVidia working together on new UI for HD."
In fact, we should try to do that, but the top of the inset is not correctly aligned unfortunately .
just wait for a real tegra device to be released... and then touch hd will simply "die"
htc should forget about hot swapping sd cards, and incorporate hot swapping chips!

Which, unfortunately, won't be any time soon.

Although wiki says
The first product to use the Tegra line is scheduled for release toward the end of 2008.

Remember this post, probably only one generation from having a device like that...1 1/2 years my estimate and we'll all be happy

No, you won't be happy, you'll be lusting after 20mpx, HD recording, 1 GHZ and XGA resolution, like Ericsson predicts - http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/07/ericsson-20-megapixel-cellphones-shooting-full-hd-video-in-4-ye/
Gotta hate that technology always evolving and what not
Yeah exactly, there's always something much better around the corner!

Google Nexus S: Unboxing and Hands-On

Slide Show of the Unboxing
The reviews are basically going to say what's been echoed throughout the boards: The pros, more or less, being that the device will be fast and will run the latest/cleanest Android build directly from Google. The cons, more or less, will be about everything everyone's complaining about (lack of HSPA+, expandable slot, and some other downgrades).

There's another software overview here of 2.3 from IntoMobile.
I can't help but notice the major scrolling lag at 2:58 onwards when he enables the Maps live wallpaper. Really disappointing to see the performance issues still not resolved. I guess we keep on waiting for proper GPU acceleration to fix that?

All the reviews are essentially saying the same thing. The pros being more or less the Google experience, untouched and unaltered; super fast; and direct Google updates. The cons being what every one has/is complaining about: lack of HSPA+ support, not a huge improvement giving the context of near-future devices, NFC has potential but nothing major for the moment, lack of expandable SD slot, lack of HD recording, etc.
There are no more surprises. People are getting this phone primarily for Gingerbread and future direct/clean updates, but not much else.

[Q] Google Talk with Video?

Do you guys think this will be a market update or software update since the Nexus S is getting it in 2.3.4?
Maybe Samsung is waiting until then to give us official Gingerbread?
Thoughts?
Looks to me like Google is only going to do it on 2.3 phones, with 2.3 already percolating, we Epic users shouldn't have to wait too long.
"Google Talk with video and voice chat will gradually roll out to Nexus S devices in the next few weeks as part of the Android 2.3.4 over-the-air update and will launch on other Android 2.3+ devices in the future," Google explained in a blog post, which also offers a screenshot and demo video.

Hopefully someone can do something with this . Google talk with video presumably integrates better with the android os than other alternatives, so it makes sense Google is integrating it into 2.3 instead of back supporting 2.2... that said, only the stock or "developer" android phones like nexus one and nexus s will be getting these right now...

Video calling framework has actually been built into Android since at least 2.1. If you check our hidden menus, there are all kinds of options for it, except the part that actually lets you make a video call.
I'd also wager that it'll pretty seamlessly interface with FaceTime since Gizmo5 pretty much did what FaceTime did using the same protocols and standards, except it was doing it back in '06.

If you had any doubts on Samsung developing the next Nexus phone, this should be an official confirmation. UAProf of GT-I9250 aka Nexus Prime has been listed on Samsung Mobile’s site. Apart from the name, the profile listing also claims the screen resolution to be WVGA (800×480) . However, previous rumors have suggested Nexus Prime to have an HD resolution display.
Nexus Prime will be the first device to run Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS and feature Bluetooth 3.0, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n amongst other things.

I would somewhat assume the screen to be on par with the Charge. That's seems too new for them to be jumping ship to a newer screen technology. The original AMOLED soldiered on for nearly 2 years.

Yeah, if that's the actual screen resolution, I'm a bit disappointed. I've read that Samsung may have, in fact, purposely falsified this information in anticipation of it getting out to the public. Similar to what HTC does...
800x480 just doesn't cut it anymore!
Err, 1x1 ratio?

Motorola's first Ice Cream Sandwich, Medfield handset leaked?

the device will ship with Intel's new mobile Medfield chip. The Atom-based system-on-a-chip could be Intel's best mobile component yet, and the chipmaker has its sights set on ARM. Reviews site Anandtech last month showed off benchmarks, detailing how Medfield performs far better in browser performance and speed--among other metrics--than those chips found in Apple's iPhone 4S, the Motorola Droid Razr, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Too bad the current dual-core designs exceed the Medfield platform on virtually every bench out there.... Medfield is extremely under-whelming TBH.... SGS3 will blow this out of the freaking water hands down.

I hope the Samsung SG3 works better as a phone then the Captivate, the Atrix by far as been a much better experience than the Captivate, the gps never worked properly and was not functional at all for months the phone as was just average in quality the HTC phones I have had worked rather well for both GPS and call quality. I may try HTC again, maybe the Samsung but I wont be an early adopter.
