  • Microsoft is silently and unceremoniously dispatching its enormous Kin surplus to an unknown resting place, a fitting end for the rejected and jeered gadget. [From: WM Experts]
  • While rummaging through source code for the Droid Does website, a scavenging geek may have unearthed the first official Droid 2 snapshots, and the purported gadget definitely sports a sleek and smooth exterior. [From: Engadget]
  • Prosecutors in the iPhone raid case have struck a deal to remove the search warrant executed on Gizmodo's Jason Chen (and to return his confiscated computer) -- as long as Chen willingly and satisfactorily surrenders all pertinent information. [From: Wired]
  • Another ill-fated and "doomed" smartphone is officially meeting its premature demise, as Google has announced that -- once the remaining inventory is gone -- the company will halt the U.S. online sale of its Nexus One devices. [From: Engadget]
