For those of you who are into putting custom ROMs on your Nexus One (and with as painless as it is, there's really no reason not to, right?), know that there's a new build in the wild. Redmond Pie breaks it down:

Compared to the last leaked build ERE36B, kernel and radio remains same, while there are some new changes in system/framework/*, system/app/*.apk and otacerts.zip. The kernel version for this ROM is 2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 android-build@apa26 #1 while baseband version is 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2.

Mmmmmmk. Flash 10.1 isn't in this version, so we're still...

We had a lot of fun hanging with the guys at the Electro Joe booth -- they definitely love their crapgadgets. Our favorite was a little something called Gimme Tunes, a pair of speakers in craptastic high heeled cases. These guys are powered by USB, but the audio input is a classic headphone jack. "Gimme Tunes, " the guy in the booth asked. "It's a pun. Do you get it?" Uh, no. "You know, like Jimmy Choo." Right.

DaringFireballs John Gruber claims hearing from well-informed little birdies that the iPad will ship without some apps that were included on the iPhone.

In his blog post today, Gruber responds to a question I posed last week about iPhone apps that appear to be missing from the iPad. Apples iPad press materials suggest the device will ship with 12 built-in apps, and noticeably missing are a few wares that came with the iPhone: Stocks, Calculator, Clock, Weather and Voice Memos. So...

There are a huge number of projectors on the market today for a myriad of uses. Some of the tiny pico projectors suffer from poor brightness limiting their use. Larger dedicated projectors for home theater and business use typically cram in impressive features and are bright enough for large rooms. The new Canon REALiS SX7 Mark II LCOS projector is aimed at larger spaces.

The projector has 4000 lumens of light output and has a native resolution of 1400 x 1050. Canon uses a Photo Image Mode to let...

We know AT&T is planning to bring Palms WebOS into its fold sometime in the first half of 2010 in the form of two devices, as announced earlier this year. What we dont know is which devices will grace the second-largest wireless carrier in the US with its presence. The Pre Plus and Pixi Plus already are in the plans for AT&T, but what if theres a third, unannounced Palm with WebOS that will be featured exclusively on the same network?

Thats the big rumor of the weekend,...

NewEgg has had a fairly good reputation for being a reliable online tech seller with good prices.

Well, everyone makes mistakes, but the one they made by shipping over 300 fake Intel Core i7-920 CPUs is kind of a big one.

The problem supposedly roots from their partnership with D&H Distributing, who issued 2, 000 copies to NewEgg - 300 of which turned out to be counterfeit.

NewEgg has released a statement and an apology, saying they are aware of a shipping error and that their...

Like so many of its services, Googles so-called New Approach to China appears to be in perpetual beta.

Over the weekend, Vice Minister Miao Wei of Chinas Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) told Xinhua, a state-run news agency, that [Google] never informed the ministry that it was planning to withdraw from China, [nor...

While yesterdays app drops certainly feel like they were a touch on the light side, its certainly not the lightest weve had. In fact, its still long enough to warrant the traditional after the break listing instead of throwing it here on the front page. But is it substantial? Well, Im asking that question for a reason, so you can probably guess my opinion on the matter. And to be frank, my opinion matters very little - what I want to know is what do you think of the *ahem* light...

At TechEd Middle East, Microsoft Eric Rudder showed off a little bit of that 3 screens and the cloud strategy Microsoft has been crowing about. The example was all about gaming. Rudder shows off an Indiana Jones game that he plays on an Xbox, a computer, and a Windows Phone 7 Series phone. The games state is saved in the cloud so you pick up where you leave off when you switch devices.

Heads-up, kids -- AT&T's first-ever slice of Android is now available. Just let that sink in a minute. Feels good, doesn't it? Motorola's Backflip has gone on sale just as promised, and that debatably awesome Blur action can be yours for $99.99 after mail-in rebate and a 2-year agreement. So, you pulling the trigger, or you are you waiting for whatever Dell and / or HTC are bringing to the party?

Arguably, the HTC HD2 is one of the most anticipated devices T-Mobile has launched in recent memory. As a Windows Phone powerhouse, it may be the device to bring those who might have otherwise snubbed their nose at Windows devices back into the fold.

Thanks to Mr. Blurrycam who managed to get his hands on the device extra early...

If youre hoping to buy an Apple iPad in the US this month, youll be disappointed to find out that the Cupertino companys first tablet will only be available starting April 3 so those rumors about production problems may be true.

Of course, its only the 3G-less iPad thats going to be available on April 3. For the 3G version of the tablet youll have to wait until the end of April when both the Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi 3G iPads will also be launched in...

Although it lacks a catchy name (like Flip or Bloggie ), Samsung's 2010 entry into the ultra-compact camcorder space may be worth a closer look. What separates the HMX-U20 from the pack is its 3x optical zoom, full 1920x1080 full HD video capability (30fps using H.264 compression), and USB and HDMI connectivity options.

To quickly upload your HD vids and recharge from a PC, Samsung has included a built-in USB connection that swings out from the side panel. There's also an adjacent HDMI-out port, so you can play your movies directly onto...

Sanyo has added a new electric bike to its Eneloop line-up, and it comes with the brand-new Eco Charge Mode . We first saw the Eneloop bike when we took it for a spin around the car-park at CES in Las Vegas (before being kicked out by a security guard). That bike would charge only on downhill sections and when decelerating, or braking.

The Eco Charge Mode lets the rider charge the battery as he rides on flat roads. The trick is all in the torque-sensing crank,...

Palm will be presenting at the Game Developer's Conference next week and naturally they'll be talking about games and the Plug-in Development Kit. One thing we've been speculating on in the PalmCast is what exactly this PDK looks like to a developer. We're supposed to find out as it comes out of beta later this month , but given how quickly Gameloft has ported their iPhone games over, we sort of wondered whether the PDK was essentially built from the ground up with an eye...
