Motorola CHARM

GSMArena has the scoop on another upcoming Moto, the Motorola CHARM.

Looks familiar.. well, yeah.. because it's basically the Motorola FLIPOUT without the flip, making it a BlackBerry-style messaging device.

Now, although we're very happy to see Moto pushing Android so hard with some excellent devices, the CHARM is really just another version of the "Morrison" platform used of the CLIQ, BACKFLIP and other Motorola devices. Perhaps it's time for something different.. like a clamshell?

Motorola DROID X

The Motorola DROID X was pretty widely leaked before yesterday's official announcement from Verizon and Motorola,  so all we were waiting for really were some details.

The monster 4.3" display is the most obvious thing, but this Android 2.1 phone also has a 1GHz processor, an 8 megapixel camera, HD video capture  and an HDMI output for playback.

There's no keyboard though, and an annoying-looking bump on the back where the camera is housed means that it won't sit flat on a table. Hopefully Moto will have a docking station solution in the works, although obviously that's going to cost more.

If you want one of these then you have to live in the US and be on Verizon to use it. There's no word on a GSM version though, and in some ways it competes with the Milestone XT720, so the situation is unclear.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Arrives for Android

Good news and bad news: Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Arrives for Android.. but whether or you see it as good or bad news depends largely on your point of view.

Available only for Android 2.2 devices (and there aren't exactly many of those about), Flash 10.1 will be available through the Android Market for download. Now, Android users can experience full Flash multimedia while opening up their Android handset to a terrifying number of security flaws that Adobe products come with.

Still, it might annoy those people who have shelled out for a new iPhone 4, which isn't a bad thing..

How cool is this? Well, very cool we think.. but you have to be in the US to get one.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X8

A more compact version of the X10 with a lower spec and lower price tag, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is pitched to sell at less than €200, but it still comes with all the Android essentials.

We have mixed feelings about the X10.. it's a nice enough device but it is hard to beat the HTC Desire which we think beats it in every category. The X8 has less serious competition though.. it looks pretty too :)
