We’d forgive you for having forgotten about C-motech’s Mangrove UMPC; after all, the market for a 7-inch touchscreen tablet running Windows Mobile 6.5 is hardly vast.  Still, we were interested to see the unit at Qualcomm’s event today, though its tubby form-factor was a whole lot less impressive when sat next to the Quanta Android Smartbook.

badalogo sgApps for mobile phones are a huge business. You only have to take a look at the massive profits that Apple is turning with the App Store to see the potential of the market.

Remember the Droid Eris, Verizon’s second Android handset and their first from HTC?  It seems that Verizon staff are already being trained on the technical details of the smartphone, thanks to a leaked screenshot over at AndroidGuys.  Meanwhile BGR are reporting on the specs of the Eris, which may come as something of a disappointment.

With the MacBook now brought smack up to date with unibody styling, and the fully metal-clad iMac causing a stir on desktops, it seems like about the right sort of time to ask what the iPhone could learn from the new designs?  Happily Isamu Sanada – who you might recall from these fair pages in previous months – is one step ahead of us, and he’s put together some concept art of what an iMac-inspired fourth-gen iPhone might look like.

Motorola is ramping up production of Android phones as fast as it can apparently after all the buzz it created with the Droid and its other Android offerings.
