T-Mobile confirms Galaxy S with 4G, Android-based Sidekick 4G are coming
Whoa, this is kind of out of the blue: on top of the Vibrant 4G that we’ve already had leaked ad nauseam (though he refers to it as a “Galaxy S 4G”), T-Mobile USA CEO Phiipp Humm mentioned at an event this morning that the company is preparing an HSPA+ Sidekick — yes, a Sidekick — albeit with Android slotted in place of the defunct Danger Hiptop operating system. For the record, T-Mobile hasn’t had any Sidekicks in its lineup since the middle of last year, though it does own the Sidekick brand — not Danger / Microsoft — and would undoubtedly love to bring it back to relevance. Coincidentally, Mister Android himself, Andy Rubin, came from Danger — so the Sidekick’s starting to follow him around. Kind of like… you know, a sidekick. Both products are said to be “coming soon.”

Android 2.2 hitting unbranded HTC Legends ‘in the coming weeks,’ carrier versions have ‘a slightly longer wait’
If you've got a Legend , fiddling with that gorgeous unibody aluminum shell in your hands is only going to keep you entertained for so long -- at some point, you're going to want Android 2.2 . Well, it took a little while -- as skinned phones tend to -- but HTC has announced via its Facebook page in the past few days that the phone will start getting Froyo "in the coming weeks." First up will be unbranded devices, while carrier-stamped versions will have to wait a little longer because, as HTC explains, there's an additional approval process that has to happen for each of those

Android 2.1 starts rolling out to Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 line this weekend
Doesn't get much more "late October" than this, does it? Sony Ericsson has announced that it'll begin delivering Android 2.1 upgrades to its X10 line of phones at long last this coming Sunday, October 31st -- but odds are pretty good you won't be in the first batch. In fact, only unbranded X10s, X10 Minis , and X10 Mini Pros in Nordic countries will be getting boosted at first, followed by "more kits" on Monday and throughout November.

myTouch 3G’s Froyo update well underway
From the looks of T-Mobile's official support forums, it hasn't gone out to everyone just yet -- but it looks like lots of myTouch 3G owners are now getting the official Froyo update the carrier announced back on the 13th of the month. Unfortunately, this doesn't include myTouches equipped with a 3.5mm jack -- those details are slated for "the coming weeks" -- but in the meantime, old-style device owners can expect a pretty stock-looking build of Android 2.2. Oh, and if you haven't gotten it yet, cool your jets (trust us, we know how hard that can be)..

Scosche MotorMouth II brings handsfree calling to any aux input-equipped vehicle
Nah, it's not the second coming of the Jupiter Jack. In fact, it's not a lackluster FM transmitter at all. Instead of pumping yet another one of those, Scosche has decided to take the high road here with the MotorMouth II, a Bluetooth streaming device that's designed for use in any vehicle with a 3.5mm auxiliary input.

T-Mobile getting BlackBerry Curve 3G ‘in the coming weeks’
"In the coming weeks" seems to be a pretty popular phrase when talking about upcoming phone availability these days, and T-Mobile USA is keeping with the trend today in talking about the just-announced BlackBerry Curve 3G from RIM. Beyond saying that it'll be available in "smoky violet" and "graphite grey," T-Mobile really isn't giving any hints on pricing or retail date -- for all we know, it could be August or September -- so that 8520 is just going to have to last you a few more days. EDGE data must be feeling slower than ever now, eh?

EVO 4G’s Froyo features detailed in pictures, car dock coming in September?
We're not far from seeing this big update in the flesh, but in the meanwhile, EVO 4G owners (and fans) might be interested to take a closer look at the features they'll be getting once it arrives. HTC appears to have put surprising effort into rendering a lifelike torch for its Flashlight app, while app sharing (seen after the break) is a neat addition -- and don't worry, devs, it only works on items that aren't copy protected. We're also being told that the update has car dock-specific functionality, which will match up with a dock release somewhere around the second week of September

webOS 2.0 coming ‘later this year,’ says HP’s Rubinstein
HP's Jon Rubinstein -- formerly of Palm CEO fame, of course -- just mentioned in an interview with Fortune that webOS 2.0 is on track for "later this year." Considering that 2010 is more than half over, that doesn't leave a whole heck of a lot of time -- but with a mix of presumed kick-ass HP hardware in the pipeline running webOS, we imagine this should all dovetail nicely. On a related note, Rubinstein again drove home the point that they're developing new hardware "aggressively," so let's hope we finally see a Pre 2, a Palmpad , or heck, a frickin' LifeDrive 2 in the next few months
