We still have a relative lack of information regarding the details of the device, but if the media playback of HD videos, plus an emphasis on streaming online videos via sites like YouTube isn’t enough to get you excited, we don’t know what will. Truth be told, the MID-range of devices is pretty, well, mid-range, but from what we are seeing now, especially by the excitement displayed in the video after the break, we can’t help but get even more excited.

Nokia and Facebook have teamed up to offer a new S40 app that allows for status updates together with providing a homescreen widget.  Intended to leverage Facebook’s huge mobile growth – more than 65m mobile users in August alone – the app joins the company’s existing offerings for S60 handsets such as the N97.  Facebook also announced Facebook Connect for Mobile Web, a service which – as already on the iPhone – allows developers to include integration with the social networking platform with their mobile apps.

With Apple’s keynote speech coming up just around the bend, the rumors and leaks are picking up speed. And it looks like images of the foretold iTunes release are beginning to come in with some efficiency. In this batch, we see more of the social integration and third-party device support, and we can begin to see that Apple may be widening their horizons with this release.

INQ Mobile are probably best known for their Facebook phone for UK carrier Three, but the company - who are actually owned by Three’s parent company – have been working on a couple of new devices to lure in social networkers.  The INQ Chat 3G is their first attempt at a QWERTY messaging phone, while the INQ Mini 3G has a more traditional form-factor.  Both pack Twitter, Facebook, push-Gmail, Skype and instant-messaging, together with 3G and tethered-modem connectivity.

Google’s CEO and the search giant’s co-founders took to the stage this week to discuss Chrome OS, the future of Android and other open-source issues, revealing that the two headline-grabbing platforms – one ostensibly for smartphones, the other for netbooks – have “a great deal of commonality” and “may merge even closer.”  CEO Eric Schmidt also made clear that Google do not envisage Chrome OS as a direct Windows competitor; in fact, he said, “Microsoft is welcome to put Internet Explorer on our operating system.”
