Had enough of the HTC Legend yet? No, us neither, and so it’s great to see the Android smartphone – which we’re presuming is the successor to the well-esteemed HTC Hero – show up in the wild again. After its first live appearance yesterday, the Legend has now given us a side-shot over at Android Community.
Update: Picture looks to have come from @Xmoo on Twitter; thanks @ardoudwokke for the heads-up

While we were hoping for a Core i7 style refresh to the MacBook Pro range today that never materialised, Intel's rumored plans for a new processor in the range do have us curious. According to Fudzilla, Q3 2010 will see Intel launch the Core i7-660UM; while the specs might be moderate on the outside, with dual-cores and a 1.33GHz clock speed, the fact that it'll apparently comfortably overclock to 2.4GHz is the real kicker.

Looks like Apple have sorted their 27-inch iMac production issues. Having apparently frozen production of the largest iMac desktop at the beginning of this month, shortly after new orders faced long delays, those waiting for their computers have reportedly begun receiving notification that they're preparing to ship out.
Hardly glamorous, but Lenovo’s latest budget workstation could bring graphics crunching happily within reach of entry-level renderers. The Lenovo ThinkStation E20 range kicks off at $599, with a choice of Intel Pentium, Core i3, Core i5 or Xeon processors, up to 16GB of DDR3 memory (spread over four DIMM slots) and an optional NVIDIA Quadro graphics card.
While we focused more on Texas Instruments’ eye-catching OMAP4 development device when we visited the company a few weeks ago, we also had a chance to talk to their wireless chipset team. TI’s combo chipsets – which pack various mixtures of WiFi, Bluetooth, FM and GPS onto a single component – get a new sibling today, in the shape of the WiLink 7.0, an integrated chip that combines all four of those wireless technologies.

Ah, the elusive ASUS Eee PC T101MT, the multitouch convertible 10.1-inch netbook that just refuses to arrive. ASUS have uploaded a new tutorial video to YouTube, demonstrating the T101MT's interface, which certainly seems to suggest that the netbook is on its way. However, somewhat bizarrely we couldn't actually spot any multitouch gestures demonstrated, only single-finger ones.
Remember Marvell’s third-gen Sheevaplug? The newest server-in-a-wall-wart made its debut at CES 2010 last month, adding WiFi and Bluetooth along with a faster, more capable chipset. As we saw before, the core Sheevaplug design often prompts some interesting third-party versions, and one such mini-server is Globalscale’s GuruPlug Server Plus. It takes the basics of the Sheevaplug and throws in an eSATA port, a second gigabit ethernet port and a microSD card slot.
The first signs of life from Apple are emerging this morning, and there’s a new version of Aperture to kick things off. Aperture 3 adds in improved photo organization – based on the same Faces and places features found in iPhoto ‘09 – as well as Adjustment Presets and Brushes. Meanwhile Apple have also extended their GPS and geotagging support, including the ability to drag non-tagged photos to their respective location, together with automatic slideshows with preset themes and music.
Eminent have launched their latest HD-capable media player, and as the name suggests the Eminent EM7075-DTS supports direct playback of Dolby DTS audio without a separate decoder. The EM-7075-DTS can handle either local content – via a USB 2.0 port – or streamed network content – via a 10/100 ethernet port – in up to 1080p High Definition.
