Android dual-boot could make Nokia N900 jack of two trades

Maemo’s already pretty open as open platforms go, but what’s better than a single open platform on your open phone? Two open platforms, of course, creating a vortex of pure, unadulterated openness the likes of which the world has never seen.

HTC HD2 extended battery with kickstand up for pre-order in the UK

British electronics e-tailer Clove has started listing a new ?53 ($86) HD2 accessory that should be of interest to everyone who owns or plans on owning the device.

Nexus One finally caught on video alongside its packaging

Frankly, we’re surprised it took this long, but lo and behold, here we are with the first video of the Nexus One we’ve seen. It’s just the all-too-brief and familiar boot animation , but thenexusone.com promises this is just one of many videos to come, and with any luck, a nicer video camera can be found in the interim.
