Mozilla Fennec Alpha for Android and Nokia N900
Mozilla’s official Fennec Alpha web browser is now available for download on Android and Nokia N900 devices. Previously we tested Fennec which wasn’t up to our expectations. Now it seems that they have addressed most of the past issues and even includes Firefox Sync that syncs your history, bookmarks and even open tabs from your desktop Firefox browser.
To download, head to http://firefox.com/m/alpha which is a hefty 11.52MB.

More leaked photos of HTC Ace/Desire HD?
BGR has several clear shots of an upcoming Android device that’s coming to Verizon. It spots a 4.3″ display, dual LED, front facing camera and 8 Megapixel Camera. It looks very similar to the EVO 4G and we believe it is the same phone on the previous leaked photos of HTC Ace / Desire HD.
It is slightly bigger when compared to the iPhone 4 and the body looks like it shares the same materials used on the HTC Desire/Nexus One. As mentioned earlier, we have a strong feeling that this device might make an appearance during HTC’s big announcement on September 15.
Head on to BGR for more photos.
Maxis iPhone 3GS 8GB Pricing Leaked
While waiting for the iPhone 4 announcement, a lowyat forum user rynstar has posted the leaked pricing of Maxis’s iPhone 3GS 8GB. The iPhone 3GS 8GB is the new “entry level” iPhone launched together with the iPhone 4.
From the partial shot above, the iPhone 3GS 8GB retails at RM1990 and it can be free on an unnamed plan over 24 months. We believe the upper part of table could be bundled pricing for iValue plans while the lower 2 could be for Prepaid users judging on its higher price tag.
No updates on their website yet but this could indicate that the official Maxis iPhone 4 launch is imminent.

Video: Samsung Galaxy Tab Usability video
Things are heating up for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab 7″ Tablet. After release of the trailer, we now have a Korean video showing more of the tablet. There’s a size comparison and even a couple of hands-on usability shots as well.
Surprisingly the Tab has DMB TV capabilities which most likely omitted for shipments outside Korea. From the usability, the UI of the Galaxy Tabs looks like a good rip-off from Apple. The look and feel of the keyboard and even its notes app looks very Apple-ish. Not too sure if Apple will be knocking on Samsung’s door soon but it is obvious that they are trying to take a slice of the iPad cake. Looks aside, the Galaxy Tab does perform pretty smooth and it is tablet worth looking out for.

Dude says he beat texting world record using iPhone 4
The dude’s name is Brian Sweet and he writes for Gumball Tech and he claims that he claims to have beaten the world text-messaging record using nothing more than the onscreen keyboard of his iPhone 4.
Previously a woman form the UK typed (or more accurately swiped) out the phrase “the razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human,” in a whisker under 26 seconds using Swype installed in a Samsung Galaxy S. But in a video uploaded on YouTube Sweet managed the same phrase under 22 seconds, a full 4 seconds quicker than the world record.
Super thumbs Sweet was that although the record is not official, it’s definitely better than what that woman recently achieved.
So this begs the question, can people actually type faster using a standard onscreen keyboard? Although it seems that this is possible, you have to be one super texter to pull the feat.
Check out the video after the jump and get ready to be amazed, it’s all a blur of thumbs to us.
Upcoming HTC Windows Phone 7 device leaked
As you can see from the picture above, the device — codenamed T8788 — looks terribly delish.
As always with these things, you don’t get much details save for the fact that it is built by HTC and will be running Windows Phone 7 (the centrally located Windows key is a dead giveaway).
What’s unique about this T8788 device is that it features a slide out speaker and a nifty kickstand at the back, making this Windows Phone 7 device a media centric gizmo.
No word on launch date but we’re expecting a deluge on WP7 phones to make their debuts come October and beyond.
Have we told you that it looks sooo good!

Dell launches Aero with AT&T
Dell has launched a new Android device called the Aero and it goes for $99.99 on AT&T’s 2 year contract or $299.99 without. As mentioned recently, the Dell Aero might be coming to Malaysia within this year as well.
The Dell Aero carries a 3.5″ 640×350 screen which is quite rare and has 2GB on board storage with microSD slot. It supports HSDPA up to 3.6Mbps, EDGE and also spots a 5 Megapixel camera.
Disappointingly as expected, it runs on Android 1.5. We hope they have a Android 2.2 update in their plans as running an older version is a turn off.
That said, we’re looking forward to the Dell Thunder which seems to be able to offer something solid.
You can check out the Dell Aero product page here.
Samsung Galaxy S Gorilla Glass Tortured
You probably have heard of Gorilla Glass being used on the the Dell Streak and Samsung Galaxy S which adds durability to the screen. So is that all marketing fluff? While we expect the typical blade or key scratch test, the Koreans had a different torture in mind.
They subject a Samsung Galaxy S in a bag shake of screws, keys and coins but yet the screen remains in prestine condition. If that isn’t enough, they also performed a drop test on the road. Well, did it survive? Watch the video after the jump.
