Will HTC and AT&T give us another “Holiday” to celebrate this fall? One can only hope so based off of the latest details available on this beautiful phone.

The HTC Holiday is looking  like it is being timed for a fall release and may very well be one of the first handsets to launch in AT&T’s LTE markets. The specifications of the HTC Holiday are quite impressive in their own right:

  • 4.5-inch qHD touchpanel
  • 1.2GHz dual-core processor
  • 1GB of memory
  • 8 MP rear camera (with flash)
  • 1.3 MP front camera
  • 802.11b/g/n WiFi
  • Bluetooth 3.0
  • Android 2.3.4
  • HTC Sense 3.0

Unless you are  lucky enough to find one for sale on Craigslist,  the HTC Holiday looks as though it will be available for the rest of us as part of AT&T’s fall lineup of smartphones.  With killer specs and 4G LTE,  HTC and AT&T might be giving us an extra Holiday to celebrate this year after all!

Google is “Absolutely Committed” to Google TV

I think we can all agree that Google TV wasn’t the most thrilling debut, but neither was Android when it first started. Now Android is the most dominte mobile OS on the planet. Could this happen for Google TV?

Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt said the lack of success was due to the fact that it was built into Televisions, and consumers replace their  TVs once every five years. I disagree with this as there are standalone units from Logitech and Sony.

Speaking of Sony and Logitech, Schmidt believes that new companies will be jumping onboard soon. He said, “We’re absolutely committed to staying, to improving Google TV.”

Official pictures of the DROID Bionic show up and disappear from the Motorola store.

A DROID Bionic page showed up in the Motorola store, but was quickly pulled. They were actually using the old Bionic’s page as a work in progress because the model number was XT865. We already know that the newer version’s model is XT875. The good news is they put up the official pictures of the latest Bionic, and we grabbed them before they were pulled.

New Sony Android Tablet Details, “S1″ = Sony Tablet S, “S2″ = Sony Tablet P

It looks as though Sony’s dual 5.5-inch clamshell tablet that was previously known as the S2 will be launched as the Sony Tablet P. Joining the Tablet P is the more conventional looking 9.4-inch slate tablet codenamed S1 that will be launched with the simpler sounding name of the Sony Tablet S.

The Tablet P brings the previously mentioned dual 5.5-inch clamshell design, a weight of 370 grams, 512Mb RAM, 4GB of storage, 2GB SD card, and 4G/WiFi connectivity. The Tablet S weighs in at 600g, has 1GB of RAM, will be available in 16GB or 32GB versions, and will be WiFi only. Both Tablets will share NVIDIA Tegra 2 Processors and 0.3MP (not 3.0MP) front cameras.

The Tablet P and the Tablet S are expected to launch next month.

Additional information, photos, and videos of Sony’s Tablet P and Tablet S can be found here, here, here, and here!

Video of the Droid Bionic’s new MotoBlur

Here’s a taste of what MotoBlur will be like on the soon to be unleashed Droid Bionic. MotoBlur has, in the past, had a bad brutally terrible reputation for its looks and functionality. The Bionic’s MotoBlur may be a chance to redeem itself, although its still not perfect yet – as you’ll see from the video. If you can look past that for now, however, it seems Moto worked pretty hard this time to make it super smooth. Also, it lends a lot of its functionality to what you see in Honeycomb; 3D and sort of Tron-like elements. After watching the video, we would love to hear what you all think, especially if your feelings have changed toward MotoBlur. Remember,  Verizon’s Droid Bionic “destroys all machines” September 8th.
