We already know the UK pricing for the Windows 7 and Android Honeycomb versions of Acer’s Iconia Tab, and now it is ready to arrive in the U.S. In fact, Best Buy started taking pre-orders for the Android 3.0-powered Iconia Tab A500 a few days ago, and now the Windows-based W500 has shown up for $549.

The W500 features a 10.1-inch (1280 x 800) display, HDMI-out, dual cameras, up to 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, AMD Radeon HD 6250 graphics, and a 1GHz Ontario (C-50) AMD Fusion APU. It also sports a fancy keyboard dock. The three-cell battery is good for up to six hours. It ships on April 15th.

The Acer Iconia Tab A500 will arrive on shelves on April 24th. The WiFi-only version of Acer’s Android 3.0 tablet will hit Best Buy and online retail for $450 without a contract. It features a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 250 SOC, a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 LCD screen, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of flash storage.

Other features include a 5 megapixel camera in back and a 2 megapixel camera in front, HDMI-out, and a pair of 3260mAh batteries good for eight full hours of life. Not bad at all and under $500.

What’s this? If our eyes don’t deceive us this is the HTC Droid Incredible 2. These images come from PocketNow without even a named or anonymous source. We don’t care, we just enjoy spying new gear.

To refresh your memory, the Incredible 2 is little more than a rebranded Incredible S. According to a purported leaked roadmap from last month, the best guess we have for a launch date is April 28th. We will let you know more when we know.

If you spend a lot of time traveling, this device could be your new best friend. It will help you keep up with your favorite shows while you are away. The Vulkano Flow is a set-top box that will let you beam your own personal TV programs from home anywhere in the world.

The already controversial GrooveShark music streaming service is not finding it easy with mobile platform vendors. GrooveShark’s mobile music streaming application was already booted out of Apple’s App Store last year, and now they have been booted from Google.

GrooveShark for Android was removed from the Android Market this week. But don’t worry, the GrooveShark for Android application is still available from the company’s website and can be installed on any Android device that allows sideloading. The iPhone version is also available, though only installable on jailbroken devices. It ain’t easy getting your mobile Grooveshark on. It seems there are too many sharks in the water and not enough chum.

By now we’ve all seen the HTC Merge, so these press shots don’t show us anything we don’t already know, it just confirms that this Android-powered QWERTY slider is bound for Verizon any time now. And that is welcome news.

In fact, the CDMA Desire Z will likely hit shelves before the end of the week, because regional carrier Alltel has already begun taking pre-orders on its own version of this 800MHz, 3.8-inch handset. We know you’ve been waiting for this one.

It’s now official. The T-Mobile G2X. LG’s dual-core, Android handset will be available on T-Mobile’s online store on April 15th for $200, coinciding with tax time. The handset will be the same price in stores when it arrives on April 20th.

There’s a $50 mail-in rebate to deal with, but aside from that you will finally be able to enjoy this smooth Android experience. We know that you’ve been waiting for it. There are worse things to spend your tax check on.

Dell may just launch its Android tablet, probably the Streak 10, ahead of the Windows equivalent that it also has planned. Word is that the Android tablet might be ready as soon as mid-June. That would be about three months before the Windows model would arrive, so we know which one everyone will buy. We don’t yet have the marketing details and the 10-inch tablet remains “unbranded” for now.

We don’t have many details, but we do know that Dell says it would ship with Android 3.0 and not the combination of Android 2.2 and the custom Stage UI that it currently uses on the Streak 7. And we can likely expect the same Tegra 2 chip from the Streak 7.

If you have been waiting for the Archos Arnova 8, the Android tablet is now available for pre-order in the US via the J&R online store. It will cost you just $159.99. That price isn’t very painful.

To refresh your memory, the Arnova 8 features an 8-inch 800 x 600 resistive touchscreen display, a 600MHz processor, a 4GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, G-sensor, 720p HD video playback support, a USB 2.0 port, two built-in speakers, WiFi and Android 2.1 is running things.

Remember the Sony tablets from a few months ago? This might be one of them. The news is that Sony plans to release a tablet computer by the end of this summer, according to Chief Executive Officer Howard Stringer.

The tablet will run Google’s Android 3.0 Honeycomb software, and will be arrive in the U.S. market first. We don’t know for sure if it’s the S1 tablet or something else entirely, but we should know more soon since it’s hard to keep a secret these days.

K-Touch has introduced the W700, an Android smartphone powered by dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, with Android 2.2, 512MB of RAM and 8GB internal memory. It packs in a 3.8-inch 480×800 capacitive touchscreen, a 5 Megapixel camera with 720p video recording and a 0.3 Megapixel front camera for your video chat needs.

The K-Touch W700 should prove a little tougher than normal thanks to it’s metal casing and it supports GPS/A-GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi. Since it was designed for China market, it comes with apps for Sina Weibo, QQ, Kaixin, and Youku. There’s also an FM tuner, microSD card slot, digital compass, accelerometer and an ambient light sensor.

Coby’s latest device is the Kyros MID7024. This tablet is powered by a 1GHz Samsung S5PV210 ARM Cortex A8 processor and has 512MB RAM, the Google Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and a 7-inch resistive touchscreen display with a 800 x 480 screen resolution.

Sound good? Well here are some other specs: You also get Wi-Fi, a front-facing camera, an HDMI output, a microSD memory card slot and 4GB of internal flash memory. What do you think? Is this tablet for you?

Amazon.com is considering the introduction of a service that would let customers pay for goods in brick-and-mortar stores using their mobile phones. This info comes from “two people with knowledge of the project” so we don’t have any confirmation just yet.

This service would use near field communication (NFC) technology, which allows devices to transmit data like payment information, loyalty points and coupons by simply tapping them against special cash registers. It makes sense for Amazon to venture into this field since Microsoft, Apple and Google are said to be planning software, devices or services with NFC themselves. If this does happen it should happen within six months time.

Even before the release of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia PLAY smartphone, Sony PlayStation games are now appearing in Google’s Android Market. So you have the games now and are just waiting for the phone. Five title’s are available in the Market so far, added today. They include Syphon Filter, MediEvil and Cool Boarders 2.

The available titles are $6.38 each, with more expected to arrive over the next few weeks. Sony Ericsson’s Xperia PLAY is the first PlayStation Certified Android smartphone and of course it will be capable of playing original PlayStation games downloaded through the Android Market. That’s one of the reasons we can’t wait for the smartphone. The Xperia PLAY is expected on Verizon Wireless’ network in the U.S. this spring. Are you willing to pay $6 for games as old as these though?

The HTC Flyer was announced last month, and in the latest promo video, we get a much better look at it, like seeing the Flyer’s UI in action as well as other features, like HTC’s new stylus. Looks pretty good to us.
