Archos’ new PMP isn’t the only Android gadget SlashGear has been playing with recently. Last night saw the launch of the European version of Motorola’s first Android smartphone, the Motorola DEXT. Debuted last week as the Motorola CLIQ in the US, the QWERTY slider smartphone is set to arrive exclusively on Orange in the UK and France; so far all the carrier has said is “early October”, but SlashGear was told that the official release date is somewhere between the 5th and the 9th of October.

We’d suggest you dip into your handy pinch-of-salt bag for this one, since we’ve seen what can happen with Nokia shipping predictions before, but according to The Nokia Blog shipments of N900 handsets are expected to reach US distribution centers on September 27th.  The Maemo 5 smartphone – launched at Nokia World two weeks ago – went up for preorder on September 4th, and assuming the trucks turn up on time, the first units could be in buyers’ hands by early October.

HTC’s UK support site is still wilfully refusing to update and offer a download link for the new HTC Hero ROM, but that doesn’t mean English language firmware updates aren’t available elsewhere.  Over at XDA Developers they’re compiling a list of the various ROMs available, including a couple of “Worldwide English” versions, which promise to speed up the hesitant handset.

Apple's latest iPhone OS, version 3.1, may bring along with it Genius recommendations for applications and ringtone downloads, but it also takes away tethering functionality with non-Apple-partner carriers.  While that may not come as a great surprise, given Apple's dislike of jailbroken and unofficially unlocked iPhones, the new firmware also blocks tethering for those using "official" unlocked handsets.

I have been online for a lot of years now and I have never purposefully clicked on an ad while surfing the net. I have done my share of product searches, but ads online aren’t how I usually find and purchase while surfing the Internet. I am especially not going to click ads while surfing on my iPhone.
