Now we have our first official press shot of the upcoming 4.7″ Android smartphone packing those music notes from Beats Audio. More details after the break.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Looking a bit like the HTC Titan this Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread phone is packing a much anticipated punch. Dressed in white the HTC Runnymede rumored specs are a 1.5 Ghz single-core processor and a huge 4.7″ qHD 540 x 960 resolution display, 1GB RAM, an 8MP camera with dual LED flash. We are also hearing not only will it have an entirely aluminum design on back but also powered with some Beats Audio.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
With the rumored single-core processor being the weakest link with everything else sounding amazing we are still hopeful for a dual-core processor. According to the spec sheet we can also expect the 8 MP camera to be one of if not the best smartphone camera with a wide angle lens and a f stop of f/2.2 that should really make for an excellent camera. I’ve been waiting for phone manufacturers to focus on lens specs rather than the megapixel number and it appears HTC is doing just that.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
We still don’t have much for details but may get more information at the upcoming HTC Event on the 20th of September. Hopefully we get more juicy details on this Beats Audio infused device soon and maybe some actual hands-on photos so stay tuned.</div>

Originally spotted some weeks back when it appeared in select EXIF data on a photo sharing site, here is the nitty gritty on the upcoming Runnymede. It can be quite a mouthful to pronounce especially when you’re not used to it, but I am quite sure that HTC would have something that is far easier on the tongue when they are about to release it. In fact, this could very well be one of the first few handsets that appear after HTC and Beats Audio came to an agreement.</div>

Wasabi is another in a crowded market of "to do" apps, aiming to keep your to do lists handy across iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. There are a number of novel twists keeping Wasabi worth a look for your listmaking needs. The most unique feature are text files which become quicklists, a preset selection of list items which you could use to quickly template a project outline. You can also share tasks with others.</div>

Although iOS 5 will have location-based notes and reminders, Wasabi has them now, with the ability to "pin" tasks to a location and have reminders trigger when you are at a location. If you can't wait for iOS 5 or find the upcoming Apple solution too limited, Wasabi is worth a look. Check it out in the video below.</div>

Motorola Droid 3 Accessory List, Extended Battery and Inductive Charging Included

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="164" src="http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/6039/droid3accessories600x30.png" width="324" />The Motorola Droid 3 is no secret and we’ve known it was coming for a while. With leaked photos and even shown on Verizon roadmaps. Now we are seeing an entire accessory list for the upcoming successor to the original DROID series.</p><br/>Even looking at the top of the leaked image and not the accessory list it looks as if the Droid 3 will come with a 32GB MicroSD card included just like a few other Verizon phones of late so that is nice. On to that accessory list we see all sorts of goodies, from an extended battery over 1900 mAh to inductive charging and more, although you might want to get the HDMI cable somewhere else for cheap.<br/><br/>Motorola has been good in the past to release accessories like car docks and multimedia docks quickly along with their phones and the Droid 3 looks to be the same as I see a few of those listed as well. I wish all carriers did the same because I’d love a nice dock for a few of my Android phones sitting around. We should be hearing something official about the Droid 3 any time now and I’ve heard rumors of a July 14th release date so stay tuned for more.

Outside of being doused with red, yellow, silver and purple paint, the special edition DeathAdder mice ($69.99 a pop) are identical to the version already on the market. If that's just not enough, there's also a dual-sided Vespula mouse mat ($44.99) to commemorate the film, not to mention a foursome of colored laptop sleeves ($49.99 each) that'll make public your infatuation. Curiously absent? A handwritten letter of congratulations from Shia LaBeouf.

First Picture: Virgin Media's TiVo iPad app
