As you haw already know, Apple’s App Store – digit of the important rivals of Android Market – has reached 100,000 applications more than digit mark ago, so Google’s app accumulation ease has a daylong artefact to go until it reaches the success of Apple’s store.

These Tweets aside, Google has foregather addicted that it gave a ornament amount to employees, for investigating purposes:

We fresh came up with the create of a ambulatory lab, which is a amount that combines example element from a reciprocation with code that runs on Android to investigate with infant ambulatory features and capabilities, and we mutual this amount with Google employees crossways the globe. This effectuation they impart to effort discover a infant profession and hold meliorate it.

Well, if the amount is indeed achievement discover in January, Google haw forebode it before the add of 2009. Until then, let’s advert what Andy Rubin expressed not daylong ago: “we’re not making hardware”. Sure enough, they aren’t, but if HTC makes it for them and exclusive the Google stylemark appears on said hardware, it’s nearly aforementioned they did it themselves.

Over the years, HTC has launched more than 30 smartphones, but only three of them have a 3.5mm headset jack: HTC Hero (pictured below), HTC Touch HD and the HTC Advantage X7510.

Well, we have good news for all those who are tired of 2.5mm jacks and proprietary ports: according to Mobile Crunch, HTC has decided to put 3.5mm headset jacks in “the vast majority of devices” it will launch from now on – meaning after the Hero, which is the company’s first Android smartphone with a 3.5mm jack.

Most probably, it’s HTC’s future low-end models that won’t have a 3.5mm jack. So we should hope that this feature will be included in all the upcoming Android models, as well as in the successors of Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2.

HTC recently said that it would launch more Android and WM smartphones this year, so let’s wait and see if they’ll indeed have the craved 3.5mm jack.

Finally, after three different software versions, the iPhone has push notifications. Sure, it got plenty of other cool additions, but being as connected to the world as I always seem to be, this is one of my favorites. One of the first apps to roll off the line with push support is AIM.

I barely used the previous versions of the AIM app, since you had to keep it open in order to continue a conversation with someone. That’s not convenient in the least. However, if you download the latest version, you’ll be able to set the app to keep you logged in for up to 24 hours after you exit. During this time you appear online to your buddies and any messages will pop up on your phone. It’s definitely worth updating, even if you just go with the ad-supported free version.

Thanks to a slip of the fingers on Posterous (and Robert Scoble’s serious Twitter addiction), new images of Michael Arrington’s pet Internet-tablet project — the CrunchPad — have shown up looking very, very close to a finished product. As you can see in the gallery below, the (supposedly) $200, WiFi enabled pad has gotten dressed up in multiple colors and been shoved into some fairly handsome looking packaging. There’s no telling if this means the device is any closer to a buy-able reality, but one thing is for sure: a microblog is no place for secrets.
Gallery: Leaked pics of the CrunchPad make it look dangerously close to availability

An Atom N270-powered rig that can handle 1080p content? Say it ain’t so! The relatively unknown HABEY has stepped forward with a minuscule media PC that includes a fairly weak CPU and a potent hardware decoder that can supposedly handle 1080p content and even Blu-ray flicks. The BIS-6550HD is meant to be one of the most energy efficient machines on the planet to adequately play back 1080p material, with the entire system sucking down under 13 watts. Complementing the 1.6GHz processor is a single SODIMM slot for carrying up to 2GB of RAM, wireless / HDTV tuner options, a slew of video outputs, multicard reader, gigabit Ethernet and four USB 2.0 sockets. Unfortunately, pricing and availability both remain undisclosed, but we get the feeling you’ll be paying dearly for the chance to see 1080p sans stutter on a machine this tiny.
