Google's Gesture Search application for Android is finally out. It enables you to quickly find a contact, bookmark, application or music track simply by drawing alphabet gestures on your device's screen.
Sadly, it is only working on Android 2.0 and up, supports only English language, and according to some user comments, is available only on selected Markets. If you can't find it on Market available in your country, you can try to use Market Enabler application, but only if your device is rooted.

Motorola's new Android smartphone is ready to hit the streets in a few days. It will be available exclusively for Verizon Wireless, and it looks like it will have some rather interesting features. Most prominent of them is certainly slide-out four-row QWERTY keyboard with raised keys. We can only guess how comfortable it will be for prolonged typing, but having numeric keys in their separate row is pretty sweet. Also, there is in-browser support for Flash, and MOTOBLUR interface (aka Blur), with improved integration with social networks (you can simultaneously monitor updates from more than one network, and, also, simultaneously post on them). Lets not forget Google Maps navigation with turn-by-turn voice instructions, and Motorola Phone Portal, very interesting application for browsing your phone's content from your home computer via Wi-Fi.
Other than that, device is packed with Android 1.6, Qualcomm's 600MHz processor, HVGA screen, and 3MP camera.

Pocketnow's source has taken some photos of not yet officialy announced HTC Incredible. It's packed with Android 2.1 and HTC Sense, Snapdragon processor, 256 MB RAM, 3.5-3.7" WVGA screen (probably AMOLED), optical mouse pointer, and dual LED flash. There are few speculations about the possibility that Incredible is Bravo in reality, over on Phandroid. From the attached video, you can see that the device is really, really fast.

HTC Legend is just about to be unveiled, and Mobile World Congress is just around the corner. In our previous post we had a chance to see a render of the device, and since we do not have the photos yet, here is another render in better quality 
It shows the new aluminium body of the upcoming Android device from HTC as well as the new rocker button for volume with engraved + and – signs. It appears that the function keys will remain in hard form (they better be). The area in the bottom (made from plastic) will be black.
Specifications follow. Optical mouse is to be announced with this model and be implemented on Bravo as well.

The reason ai.rs blog does not do classic unboxing videos lies in the fact that the phones we get are in the test/sample phases, and we get them for couple of hours. Nexus One unboxing you're about to see will knock you out

Lenovo joins Android frenzy with announced Snapdragon powered device named Lephone. The interesting part is that besides being the cool, slick smartphone, one of the options include attachable qwerty keyboard with cover. Besides the usual options (Bluetooth, WiFi) it looks like it lacks a good camera (3MP only). It will be available in China, and we expect more details at MWC, Barcelona.
