Ahhhh, the web is alive with the sound of Froyo. At least it is if you’re a Droid X owner. The long awaited updated is almost here and we’ve received confirmation that tomorrow, Wednesday the 22nd, is the big day.

If you still don’t believe us, and quite frankly we can’t say we blame you for as long as it’s taken, just do a search on the internets and you’ll see post after post after post detailing Verizon’s acknowledgement that Droid X is getting Froyo starting tomorrow.

The newest ComScore numbers arrived late last week and the results might be considered a little surprising. While everyone knows that Android is taking the mobile space by storm in recent months, I don’t know that anyone expected to see Apple lose market share around the release of their newest iPhone.

But, lose they did… ComScore shows Apple lost 1.3%, RIM dropped 1.8% and Microsoft dove 2.2%. Conversely, Android showed a 5% increase in total market share during the month of July. The final player, Palm, showed neither an increase or a decrease as they stayed exactly even.

With more states adopting mobile phone and texting laws for drivers, and with our incessant need to multitask and get things done quickly, Bluetooth headsets continue to gain in popularity.  The trouble is finding a high performance, high quality headset that will fit your specific needs.

Pros: Small and very compact, good sound quality, lightweight, comfortable in ear or over ear fit, very easy to use, quick charge and good battery life, easy to locate volume controls

Cons: Inconsistent performance from MotoSpeak app on Android phone, occasional distortion when using earpiece to control volume

Price range: $66 – $99 online

Has the long awaited Froyo update finally arrived for Motorola Droid X owners? The on again off again rumor mill has been saying so for going on three months now, but still nothing. Motorola and Verizon said we could expect the upgrade by the end of summer, which is now only days away.

The page on droiddoes.com looks like a formal announcement for the Droid X release of Froyo. Unlike other information that appears to have been leaked, this page is open to the public and contains a link to another informational page within the Verizon owned Droid Does site.

Dell showed off their latest and perhaps greatest new gadget at Intel’s Developer Forum 2010 in San Francisco. What started as a tablet presentation turned into a notebook show, but the same device was used in both cases.

How’d they manage that, you might ask. As Dell’s presenter was up on stage, he was showing off the capabilities of a new 10” tablet device. Near what appeared to be the end of presentation, he pulled a Steve Jobs maneuver with a sort of “one more thing” type of a transition. He picked up the tablet and transformed it into a full notebook right before our eyes.

Last week, Samsung unveiled their newest baby, the Samsung Galaxy Tab.  It’s patterned after their Galaxy line of Mobile phone devices, but it’s a 7” touchscreen tablet with a TFT capacitive touch display rocking a 600 x 1024 resolution.  Their announcement came at the IFA conference in Berlin and the buzz has gone nonstop since that time.

There are now rumors that Samsung might be putting on a US press conference to introduce the device near the end of next week.  Not sure this is necessary, as we all know just about all we need to know about this device.  The bottom line is that I want one and this thing has the real chance of rivaling the iPad.  It actually brings to the table, some options that the iPad doesn’t yet.

For those of you experiencing problems with your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3G, the long wait for a solution might be over.  Apple has rolled out their iOS 4.1 update which, according to Steve Jobs in his Keynote last week, should fix some of the bugs you’ve been experiencing.

The update, along with many new features, is supposed to fix such bugs as performance slow downs on the 3G and 3GS models, as well as the proximity sensor on the iPhone 4.  Some of the new features include High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos and Game Center.

Device customization is a big deal these days. It used to be that when you wanted to show your individuality you’d do so through your wardrobe, maybe custom tweaks to your vehicle, but now it’s most commonly done by the way you deck out your phone or other mobile gadgets.

If this is true for you, then Coveroo might just have the solution for you. In the interest of full disclosure, Coveroo was kind enough to provide us with one free trip through their customization process and they let us keep the case that we customized so we could review it (see image near the end of the post), and come back to all of you to provide you with our perspective.
