Qualcomm demos augmented reality and peer-to-peer tech, tries to punch cellular gaming’s block off (video)
It’s just a tablecloth and a piece of paper, until you pull out a Nexus One , at which point it magically becomes an arena where toy robots fire off punches.
HTC Vision with Android, full QWERTY in the wild?
For reasons seemingly known only to Peter Chou himself, HTC has mostly steered clear of producing high-quality physical QWERTY devices running Android, despite the fact that there might be no phone manufacturer in the world more skilled at making them (let us remind you of the Touch Pro2 , among many others dating back the better part of a decade).
Expansys becomes exclusive retailer for Huawei S7 Andriod tablet
Huawei’s Android-based, Snapdragon-powered S7 tablet certainly managed to impress at Computex earlier this month, and it looks like you’ll soon be able to get one yourself — UK retailer Expansys has announced that it’ll be the first to carry it and, for the time being at least, the only place to get one.

HTC Desire in the US pipeline for ‘select regional operators’ this August
Since neither T-Mobile nor AT&T have ponied up a branded, high-end Android device yet (though the former is almost certainly about to announce the Galaxy S ), we were particularly chuffed to get the news from HTC today that it’ll be bringing the lovely Desire to US shores through carriers in August.
