What is being creative? [Phone Concept] http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/8957/what-is-being-creative

This video straight out of the future is both a reflection on what it means to be creative, and one hell of a dream phone concept. Simply named 'Flip' it's got three flexible AMOLED touchscreens, a keyboard on the reverse, and a custom version of Android. The unique design yields some neat features; rotate through twitter, fold-over for multi-user video viewing, video-on-top/comments-below.

The designer is Kristian Larsen. Check out some of the design pics at YankoDesign.com.

Google's Matias Duarte talks Honeycomb, tablets, design, and the future of Android. http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/8894/googles-matias-duarte-talks-honeycomb-tablets-design-and-the-future-of-android

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/07/exclusive-interview-googles-matias-duarte-talks-honeycomb-tab/

We're not going to lie -- we're pretty excited to bring this to you guys. Here at CES 2011 we had a chance to sit down with Matias Duarte, the man behind webOS (as well as the Sidekick and Helio UIs), who's now heading up Google's user experience for Android. Matias is currently driving the interface and design for Android 3.0 (AKA Honeycomb), and it's clear that he's bringing his big, bold ideas to the Android platform. This is the first video interview Matias has done since leaving Palm, and we pressed the man on his involvement in Gingerbread and Honeycomb, what had to be torn down in Android, how desktop OSs can inform mobile devices, and much, much more

Motorola XOOM - Honeycomb Tablet http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/8879/official-motorola-xoom-honeycomb-tablet-video-1

The Motorola XOOM will join the Galaxy Tab in the land of popular Android Tablets, but Motorola has a bit of an advantage on the XOOM as it's the first to run Android 3.0 honeycomb which is optimized for the tablet experience, one of my favorite being tabbed browsing.

The device sports a Nvidia Tegra 2, 1GHz dual core processor, a 10.1-inch screen (at 1280x800 and a 16:10 aspect ratio), rear 5MP camera, front 2MP camera and 4G connectivity.

Check out the 2nd Motorola Xoom video for more on Motorola's development process.

BlindType on Android http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/8005/blindtype-on-android

BlindType - A new touch typing method. No accuracy required!

The keyboard is designed to be extremely fault-tolerant, which is great if you want to type without looking at your phone or if you can't be bothered by pesky things like accuracy or spelling. It also adjusts the size of the keyboard based on the way you are typing and resizes itself on the fly, and can be used with the keyboard visible or not.

Knocking Live - Nexus to iPhone http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/6868/knocking-live-nexus-to-iphone

Knocking Live Video is a free video-sharing app for iPhone, and now for Android, that broadcasts live video from one smartphone to another. Qik can be public or private , whereas Knocking Live Video is currently only private, and Qik streams to the Internet. Knocking Live Video's niche is phone-to-phone broadcasting, which is inherently a private way to share when both parties have Knocking Live Video up and running on their phones.
