The app also enables users to add up to 9 favorite websites as Quick Links, and offers a tab preview with a simple tap and hold. The app provides full screen browsing with a quick tilt over to landscape mode. Best of all, it’s called iDroid–Apple can’t be smiling about that one.

The slide-out Qwerty handset will be the first Verizon offering to include Motorola’s MOTOBLUR, an Android-based feature that syncs contacts from email with content from social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. MOTOBLUR  pushes social updates to the Happenings widget on the home screen.

The DEVOUR features a 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen. Other hardware includes a touch-sensitive track pad, A-GPS, Bluetooth, 3G and pre-installed 8-gig microSD card. It comes with a host of pre-loaded applications like Gmail, Google Maps Navigation and YouTube.

While the phone enjoys some sexy retro design…it’s probably the one of the most modern looking offerings out of the Verizon Bull Pen yet! Go Verizon!

Verizon hasn’t specified the price of the new phone, but it should come in well under the cost of the Droid. It will require a data plan that runs $29.99/month.

A transmitter unit, marked “Send” as to prevent any confusion, connects directly to a computer via USB. The receiver then gets connected to a stereo, and that’s it–instant streaming. The system sends uncompressed audio via 2.5 GHz radio frequency and gets the music from computer to audio system with no hassles (up to 100 feet). It also works for other audio sources like MP3 players.

To sweeten the pot that much more, the system doubles as a wireless speaker upgrade for powered speakers and subwoofers. Connect the transmitter to the stereo receiver; connect the receiver to the speaker/subwoofer, and you have wireless speakers. The fact that most home stereo speakers are non-powered and subwoofers’ can be placed pretty much anywhere may make this function moot, but it’s there for the taking.

The Home Audio Link retails for $149 (receiver and transmitter). Additional receivers can be purchased for $70 and placed around the home. Ship date is January 28. Get them here!

Wilson promises that it should boost your phone’s signal strength up to 20 times, though keep in mind that it works only with the 800 and 1,900MHz cellular bands. While that covers both GSM and CDMA networks in the United States, it isn’t compatible with Nextel phones or GSM networks abroad. Wilson has a good reputation for producing products that work so we’re expecting this pup to fill the needs of some of our cross-country traveling friends who are tired of dropped calls.

LAS VEGAS, USA (AVING Special Report on ‘CES 2010′) — <Visual News> Liquid Image is announcing a Swim Camera Goggle at CES 2010.

The Liquid Image Freestyle Series is the worlds first swim goggle with an integrated digital camera. The goggle contains a 62 degree lens to capture the fun and action while swimming and playing in water to a depth of 15ft. The hands free unit has a 1.3 MP (1280 x 960) camera mode and a video mode that records VGA video (640×480) at a rate up to 30 frames per second with audio. A model will be on display at the CES Unveiled Event January 5th and at CES in Las Vegas January 7th-10th.

The Freestyle Series Swim Camera Goggle is easy to operate. There is a button for On/Off/Mode and another button for the shutter. To record a photo or a video, simply turn on the camera, choose the mode, then press the shutter button. Indicator LED lights inside the goggle signal the mode to the user. The main buttons are positioned along the upper right side of the frame. A third button sits on the lower right side to activate a high power LED flashlight. The LED flashlight adds illumination underwater when required.

The internal memory has 4GB and will to record approximately 6,000 still images or 90 minutes of video. A USB cable is provided to transfer files to a computer.

The Camera operates on an internal rechargeable Lithium Battery. The battery performance for video is approximately 1:30 hrs of video or 1:05 hrs with the LED flashlight on.

The Freestyle Series Swim Camera Goggle model 330 is estimated to ship in April 2010, in time for the summer. This new model follows the concept of the original Liquid Image Underwater Digital Camera Mask by creating an easier way to record photos and videos. The concept of integrating the camera into the sports equipment allows the user to travel with fewer items and to keep their hands free while performing sports activities. The integrated camera records a view similar to what is seen, allowing the user to share their experience with other people, and to enjoy their activities to a greater extent because they concentrate less on holding and operating the camera.

The Freestyle Series Swim Camera Goggle model number 330 has an estimated US price of $79.
