We already knew that the Motorola Droid good won’t featured exclusive on Verizon network.

There were adequacy reliable sources and hints, claiming that this blistering Motorola Android 2.0 good is headlike for aggregation too.

We foregather didn’t move to impart it crossways the lake quite so fast. Motorola Droid was foregather announced by Verizon tangency week, and today it already launches as Motorola Milestone in Europe.

Motorola Milestone is is not foregather the aforementioned good as Verizon Droid. In digit artefact it’s better – Motorola Milestone comes with multi-touch pinch&zoom interact support, which, for some reason, was subhuman in Droid.

But it loses free turn-by-turn guidance from Google, belike because this feature is not primed for primetime in aggregation yet. Instead Motorola Milestone comes with a effort edition of MOTONAV turn-by-turn navigation, which is free for the prototypal 60 days, but then a authorise acquisition kicks-in.

Otherwise Motorola Milestone is the aforementioned grownup Droid with:

• WCDMA/900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSPA, GPRS connectivity
• Android 2.0 OS
• 3.7″; WVGA (480 x 854 pixels); 16:9 widescreen; PPI 267
• 5 megapixel camera
• Wi-Fi, GPS, Accelerometer
• 1400 mAh battery

And every another goodies example Droid had.

Italy and FRG module be the prototypal markets to impart Motorola Milestone,other markets module effect to move for it a bit.

At Acer’s over-the-top product onslaught event last night, Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci and product guy Jim Wong confirmed they’d been playing around with Android in the labs, but didn’t think an Android netbook was ready for primetime. Beyond the previously-confirmed Acer A1 Android smartphone, Wong confirmed that they’ve prototyped android on a netbook, and that “it has a good chance” of making it into the hands of consumers, though he didn’t foresee any desktop application at the moment. He says the big obstacle is making sure consumers get a full-fledged browser experience, and that they’ll share more when they feel it’s consumer ready. He also stated that he was pretty Acer sure everybody was testing Android on netbooks, so we’ll see which manufacturer bites first.

Admit it, you want some Cupcake, but you’re afraid of ditching the physical keyboard altogether. Good news for those of you who’ve snagged an Android Dev Phone 1, because your wish may be our command. The guys at Make have the lowdown on how to flash Cupcake to the device and experience that on-screen keyboard in all its glory. The hacked OS certainly wasn’t ready for primetime, and that hotly-anticipated soft keyboard was still a little buggy — but there is some hope for using the phone with one hand. We’ll bet Google / T-Mobile keep this one in the oven a bit longer until it’s ready to take on the masses, but at least we’re seeing some fresh baked goodness on something other than the Magic. There’s video of the Macguyver’d OS in action after the break.

C’mon, did you really expect Archos to knock this out of the park on its first go? Okay, so we sort of did too, but we’re not baffled to hear that the Archos 10 could’ve used a few more days in the oven before hitting primetime. According to a review at Laptop, the unit does have one of the better software stacks, and the speedy hard drive led to some remarkably hasty boost times. That said, the $399 admission price puts it up against some pretty stiff competition, with the Aspire One D150 and the Eee PC 1000HE both offering up more longevous batteries and more comfortable keyboards. In the end, it boiled down to critics preferring the long life and comfy typing over the above-average software suite, but true Archos fanboys may be willing to overlook its drawbacks to still fall in love.

Yes, your greatest / worst dream has come to fruition: Steve Wozniak will be featured on the next season of Dancing With the Stars. There’s not much we can tell you right now about his upcoming moves, though we will be watching with bated breath, quietly hoping for a double Lindy, the Sugarfoot, and Denise Richards being dipped on a Segway.

[Thanks, Ethan]

We’ve been trying to get a legitimate hands-on with Sony’s OLED-infused Walkman since we first caught the device on Wednesday, but security’s been super tight in the Sony booth and we couldn’t distract anyone long enough to unscrew the casing. So we can’t get an actual hands-on with the Walkman, but we don’t need to touch it to know that the OLED is seriously gorgeous and the UI looks super crisp. Sony’s reluctance to pull this out of its casing seems to show the player’s not ready for primetime, but we’ll keep trying to get something a bit more gratifying.

Update: Engadget Spanish got a video of the device in action, so check after the jump if you wanna see more and learn a little español.

It looks like the Android-based and 5-megapixel snapping Lenovo Ophone is ready for primetime, as according to a report from Reuters, China Mobile is said to be planning the launch of the same within the first quarter of this year. Which is in the next couple of months.

The Ophone is, of course, based on the open-source Android OS. It’s going to be one of the first “high-end” Android phones to be ever released, sporting a very sleek and simplistic design, with support for China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA technology.

Reuters’ sources was quoted as saying, “The product is in the final testing stage at the moment.” And I’m sure you know exactly what that means.

So if you’ve been waiting for a chance to paw at this handset after first seeing it in live pictures, your time will come soon enough.

It looks like the plush gray carpet in the Coby booth at CES isn’t the only thing that might make you stumble. Coby’s flagship PMP here at CES is the MP836, and it’s safe to say it rubbed us the wrong way. The device itself wasn’t that horrible to look at, but the interface and general aesthetics were both major turnoffs. The Coby reps said that it has multitouch, but there wasn’t any actual implementation to be found. It’ll be available in 4, 8, and 16GB variations when it does eventually hit the marketplace, but we couldn’t get a solid MSRP from the very confused booth staff. Be sure to check out our vids of the device “in action” (if you can really call it that) and the gallery as well. But hey, if lackluster three inch displays and unresponsive touchscreens are you thing, be sure to hit Coby up.
