HTC files seemingly confirm Mondrian, Mozart to be Windows Phone 7 handsets
We’d already had some indication that both the HTC Mondrian and Mozart would be Windows Phone 7 handsets, and it looks like that has now been all but confirmed by HTC itself. According to some XML files dug up on HTC’s own site by Conflipper , both devices list Internet Explorer Mobile 7 for the browser ID, which we can only assume won’t be making an appearance outside of Windows Phone 7 anytime soon. The files also confirm that each device will have a 800 x 480 display and a keyboard-less form factor, plus A2DP Bluetooth support, although there’s expectedly few details to be found beyond that.
Gateway LT32 to hit retailers soon for $450
We’re not sure why Gateway’s waited so long to release the details and pricing on the LT32 — considering it’s pretty much a rebadge of the Acer Aspire One 721 we just reviewed — but lo and behold the HD-capable, 11.6-inch ultraportable will be hitting the street soon for $450.

It also has ATI Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics, which as we saw on the recent Acers handles 1080p flash and local video like a champ.

Opera 10.6 hits Windows, Mac and Linux with faster Javascript, WebM video support
Four short months after Opera 10.5, the Scandanavian potato boilers are back for more — the latest version of their lightweight web browser features not only claims to be the fastest, but the first final browser with WebM video support . While we actually noticed a variety of web videos felt choppy with the Windows version, there’s no denying it’s a speedy little hummingbird; Engadget felt snappier on Opera than Chrome or Firefox by far
