The Daily Slash

Today's edition of the Daily Slash is strewn with rumors and speculation about none other than the fastest selling Android device of all time, that being the Samsung Galaxy S II.

We've also of course got reviews of the brand new MacBook Air as well as Mac OS X Lion, not to mention the brand new Toshiba Thrive, the Motorola XPRT, and yes, we do have several giveaways going on this week, all of them for tablets.

A few very important things happened today, and you've gotta know all of them in order to go forth from this point.

Rubin is the fellow who you might know better as the originator of Android - now he's one spot away from the top of Google. Power!
