Just moments after finding out that the Palm Pre was tracking you, Palm has pulled another move that is sure to have some people shaking their fists in anger. Reportedly, they company has set their sights on the creators of the Palm Pre Android Theme that does just that, reskins your Android UI to look like a Palm Pre.

Of course, we can’t get too mad at Palm about this considering the graphics used in the Android theme were taken straight out of webOS, in other words they were copyrighted. Luckily, Palm has no intentions to lay down the law any further if the makers of said theme without hostility.

Spec wise we are still looking at the 3.2MP camera with video recording, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS, and a music player.

Just like it’s brethren, the Sony Ericsson Jalou, the Dolce&Gabbana Jalou will hit selected markets in Q4 of 2009.

If recent rumors are to be believed, Apple may once again be moving into another market. This time? Online transactions.

These rumors suggest that Apple is planning on turning iTunes into a PayPal competitor for use with products made by other companies. This would add to the fact that users can already purchase virtual items and subscriptions from App Store developers.

Take this rumor with a grain of salt until we hear an official announcement because as of now, they are far from confirmed.

We’ve been hearing about this handset for a long time but it seems RIM has finally decided its time to let the BlackBerry Curve 8520 out of the bag.

This phone will officially feature a 320 x 240 resolution display, 2MP camera with video capture, WiFi, a track pad in place of the iconic track ball and the ability to sync up with Macs right out of the box. This is probably thanks to the Mac version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager that we heard about not too long ago.

Better yet, RIM has also us know that those rumors of the 8520 coming to T-Mobile were true as the phone will officially drop on said carrier August 5th for $129.99.

But we’re definitely hoping that Sprint will decide to make it available sometime soon. In the mean time you have 8 minutes of total video time to enjoy. Hit the break for the other three clips!

The latest rumor concerning the future generation of Apple iPod touch players says that the new devices will be packing both a camera and a microphone. That means the future iPod touch will be almost similar to the iPhone. All you need to make calls to your friends is to install a VoIP service on your iPod and get some decent WiFi coverage. Does that sound a little bit scary to carriers?

The new units are currently being manufactured by Chinese contractors and they are said to be available sometime in the following two to three months. There’s no indication regarding any other changes but we’ll keep you in the loop as soon as we find out more about the new iPod touch.
