Back in July it was announced that Barnes & Noble would be teaming up with AT&T to offer free WiFi access for all of their customers. Today, Borders has announced that they too will be offering free WiFi access as a recent partnership with Verizon.

The deal has just been sealed so reports say you can expect virtually all of the 500 nationwide Borders stores to have free WiFi access by the end of October.

Rarely would you see a mobile handset that can cater to dual-boot capability but it seems that Sunno is making that believable with their new Sunno S880. A dead-ringer for the Sony Ericcson Idou, this mobile phone boasts of a 3.6” WVGA display and a built-in 8 megapixel camera.

The Sunno S880 phone also comes with WiFi and GPS as well as an 806 MHz chip. But the real highlight of this phone is the dual boot. It can flip between the Microsoft and Google OS which is obviously catchy thing about it.

The Sunno S880 will reportedly be released on October 15. Pricing was not disclosed although it looks like the Sunno S880 mobile device may not even reach the borders of North America or Europe. Apparently it seems t be made for use only in China.

Drop whatever you were doing and grab a chair folks. We have stumbled on more news regarding Apple’s tablet. We don’t have an updated picture of the thing yet but we have another rumor. This time the tablet, dubbed the iPAD has been spotted in a Borders bookstore survey list. It’s either that or the “Apple iPAD (large screen reading device)” in the survey list is another Apple gadget we have no idea about.

So, the question is, does Borders know more stuff about Apple’s stuff than we do? Or are they just playing the field, hoping to get some attention from prospective buyers? Will Borders sell the tablet too? After all you’d probably be able to use it just as book reader if you choose to!
