We didn't have a ton of details on the so-called HTC Ace when it turned up in a leaked roadmap last week, but a fresh set of rumors are now suggesting that the Ace is actually the Desire HD, which will reportedly pack a number of HD-esque upgrades over the standard Desire. That includes a larger 4.3-inch WVGA screen -- no word if it's AMOLED or SLCD -- and an 8-megapixel camera with 720p video recording. Other rumored details include Android 2.2, 4GB of internal storage, the same 1GHz Snapdragon as the current Desire and, perhaps most interestingly, talk of a "unibody aluminum design." Unfortunately, the rumors still don't include any actual images of the device, but there's still plenty of time for those to leak out before the supposed October release.

SLCD-equipped HTC Desire 'coming soon' to Telus

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/slcd-equipped-htc-desire-coming-soon-to-telus/

We'd already seen an HTC Desire with North American 3G hit the FCC, and it looks like we now know exactly where it's headed -- Telus has just announced that the phone is "coming soon" to its network. What's more, the carrier has also confirmed that the phone will be equipped with a 3.7-inch Sony Super LCD screen instead of the regular AMOLED display that's in short supply. Otherwise, the phone is the same Android 2.1-powered, Snapdragon-based, Sense-skinned device we've seen all along, which is hardly a bad thing -- unless you're waiting for a Desire HD, that is.

Syabas Popbox surprises everyone, including Syabas, by going on sale today

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/syabas-popbox-surprises-everyone-including-syabas-by-going-on/

We thought we had another week or so to get ready, but no, the Popbox is on sale already, with some preorderers reporting they got shipment notifications as early as yesterday. In case you've forgotten since CES, the $129 box takes the Popcorn Hour into a more general consumer friendly form with an all new interface and SDK, YouTube access, support for 100Mbps bitrate 1080p video and more -- just not the Netflix access (at least for now) we were originally promised. According to the official Twitter account -- also accessible with a new "Popapp" -- a quicker than expected route through customs is to thank/blame for the launch, but whatever, we're one step closer to the 2010 media streamer battle we've been waiting for. It's your move, Boxee Box.

[Thanks, Jason]

Sony NEX-VG10 HD camcorder preview

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/15/sony-nex-vg10-hd-camcorder-preview/

Well, that was quick. Right after yesterday's surprising announcement, Sony flew its yet-to-be-released NEX-VG10 camcorder into London just in time for today's showcase event. Naturally, we had to get our hands on this shiny baby, and boy we were impressed. In case you missed the news, this snazzy device is the world's first consumer HandyCam with interchangeable lens, meaning you can share E-mount lenses with your young NEX DSLRs, or take advantage of the abundant A-mount lenses with the help of an adapter. Likewise, there are also hot and cold shoe mounts on the mic shaft to cater your current camera accessories. Read on for our thoughts on the rest of the camcorder -- we've put together a little sample clip for you at the end as well.

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5587822/find-all-enhances-text-search-in-firefox

Firefox: If you've found the built-in find function in Firefox to be a bit lacking Find All offers more thorough text search with multi-instance highlighting.

Find All replaces the built-in search with a more powerful search tool. Whenever you search for a word or phrase a window will open at the bottom of the page with all the search results for the text. You can easily jump from one section of the text to another using the window of search results to navigate or you can simply read down through the text with all instances highlighted.

You can customize the search results including the size of the font, the color of the highlighting, and the layout of the toolbar. Find All is a free extension and works wherever Firefox does.
