T-Mobile ships Bluetooth Swivel Dock for myTouch 4G
Looking (and sounding) a bit like a more-advanced version of the Bluetooth dock that accompanied the Nexus One , it seems that T-Mobile has started shipping a so-called Bluetooth Swivel Dock for its recently-launched myTouch 4G -- and, well, you can get a pretty good idea of exactly what it is from the name. Indeed: not only does this bad boy charge your phone, it routes Bluetooth audio to a 3.5mm jack that you can leave connected to that bookshelf system of yours. Oh, and it swivels, which frees you of the arduous task of picking up the dock itself and moving it to a different position should you like a nearby individual to be able to see what's on your screen

Facebook for Android updated with more awesome
If there's one app you've probably got installed on your smartphone -- regardless of platform -- it's Facebook , so when a new version comes out with significant new functionality, it's usually a pretty big deal. On that note, we've got a new build for Android this evening that features a "photo reel" on the home screen giving you live updates from your news feed, integrated video playback, support for events, and the ability to respond to friend requests without going through the Herculean task of actually leaving the app. The update's been posted in the Market, so grab it -- then make sure your privacy settings are on the up and up , won't you

Microsoft: Windows Phone 7 series ‘will not initially offer copy and paste,’ case-specific actions integrated into OS
Here you go, folks, an official statement from Redmond itself on the perennial Windows Phone 7 Series / copy-and-paste discussion . First and foremost, from the onset, there will be no copy and paste in the traditional sense; Microsoft is hoping to bypass the issue by integrating into the OS contextual, single-tap instances for viewing an address on a map (let's hope it has some good recognition algorithms here), doing Bing searches based on highlighted terms, dial a phone number, and so on. But the book isn't entirely closed here, apparently, as the statement goes on to say the company "will continue to improve our feature set over time based on what we hear." We've also got a statement regarding the hacked emulator , to which a representative told us, "we have been very clear that [it] is based on early code and is not reflective of the final user experience," which is a nice way of saying don't get your hopes up on those fun little surprises (task manager, anyone?)

Windows Phone 7 Series emulator unlocked, shows a few surprises
Microsoft was kind enough to release the software development kit for Windows Phone 7 Series on Monday, and although there was some fun to be had by scrolling around and exploring, much of the cool stuff the company showed off at MIX last week is not included -- or is it? As it turns out it's in there; only a little help is needed to unlock 'em and then all those magical hubs start them spinning for your enjoyment, including a few things not seen before. Most notable

My Frequency: Android AsyncTask template
Same is true for Android apps. In fact, android framework prompts user to close the app if it doesn't respond in 10 seconds or so.
