Now we know the latest version of Android is almost here, and how do I know. Well a giant gingerbread man has just arrived at Google’s headquarters is how. Google still hasn’t said a word about the new version of Android, codenamed Gingerbread, but the rumours floating around the internet are saying that Gingerbread will have better media support, speed improvements and a nicer UI. And I presume the arrival of the gingerbread man suggests that we will probably see an announcement of Android 3.0 within the next couple of weeks.
The giant gingerbread model is taking it’s place alongside the éclair, the cupcake, and cone of frozen yogurt. Check the video of the Gingerbread arriving below.

I am sure you saw our HTC 7 Mozart unboxing video earlier this week. In the video you would of heard me say that I was going to record a further demo video once I had become a little more familiar with the device and customized it a wee bit.
Well, I have done that now and the video is below. I am still no expert with Windows Phone 7 so please don’t call me a silly sausage but I hope this gives you a slightly better insight into the operating system.
See the video after the break:

HP have today announced the Palm Pre 2 and as we suspected the specs include a 1GHz processor, 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM and webOS 2.0.
Here is the official word from HP:
HP Introduces webOS 2.0, the Next Generation of Mobile Innovation Coming first on new Palm Pre 2 in France, the United States and Canada
PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 19, 2010 – HP today announced HP webOS 2.0, the most significant update to the platform since its launch in 2009 and a substantial step in HP’s vision to transform how people think, feel and connect.
This is the one that Android fans have been dying to get their hands on, the HTC Desire HD.
The 4.3 inch, 1GHz, Froyo bad boy of the Android world has had one or two delays with its launch but now that we have a review device this means the final ROM is complete and I would imagine that you will be able to get your own one real soon.
With a very similar shell to that of the HTC HD2 the Desire HD gives us that great big screen but with some added specs such as the 8 megapixel camera, 720P HD video recording and best of all Android 2.2. Many people said after the HD2 was released that they wished they could have it running Android. The Americans were first to get an Android device from HTC of this size – the EVO. Now it is our turn.
Let the Android wars commence.
Enjoy the unboxing video below.

Hot of the press this afternoon I have discovered that the Dell Venue Pro will indeed be available to buy sim free here in the UK this year. Clove have been told to expect stock in early November which is a turn up for the books as a lady from Dell told me it would not be in the UK this year.
We will of course have an unboxing video and full review as soon as the device arrives with us. In the meantime if you did not see my hands on video at the Windows Phone launch event you can do so by clicking here.
Please head on over to Clove for more info on the device or look at the pics after the break.
The HTC 7 Mozart from Orange is the first Windows Phone 7 device to arrive at the tracyandmatt camp and what a pleasant surprise it was. Out of all the WP7 handsets I used last week at the launch the Mozart is the one I was looking forward too most, as I felt that if I was going to get one it would probably be this one. Size wise it is pretty much on par with my iPhone and it just feels good in the hand.
Enough of my views. Check out the unboxing video below and watch out for the full review in the next week or two.
