The SciPhone Dream G2 from China has somehow completely missed the whole point of Google Android open source operating system being open source, reports an article on engadget mobile.
So for some reason the company who makes the SciPhone Dream G2 have hacked the G2?s propriety operating system to look like the Android platform.
However, they have produced a fairly cutesy looking charger in the form of the Google Android mascot. The SciPhone Dream G2 has a 2.8 inch Touch screen and comes in carrying a price tag of $149.

There are rumours and speculations flying around at the moment saying that Nokia are working on a brand new 12-Megapixel camera phone, please do not shoot the messenger we are only reporting what we hear and read.
Apparently according the source links below Nokia will be bringing these new designs sometime in 2010, Nokia are apparently working on bringing a range of new phones which is all good if true. At the moment Nokia?s best camera phone is at 8.megapixel which is the Nokia N86 (Specs here), so going from 8 to 12 is a nice jump.
There are 12-megapixel camera phones out there which are the Samsung Pixon 12 and the forthcoming Sony Ericsson Satio so with Nokia coming aboard the 12 MP band wagon we can see an even better future for Nokia. No official word from Nokia as of yet but we will keep you posted.

Palm has now released a new firmware for the Sprint branded Palm Pre and is WebOS version 1.0.4 according to an article over on engadget mobile.
Apparently the only change with WebOS 1.0.4 is to security issues and Palm even gives credit to Pre homebrewer, Townsend Ladd Harris for his cooperation in locating the security vulnerabilities.
Unfortunately Palm has now plugged the hole which allowed homebrew applications on the Palm Pre without any jailbreak, as the hole was dangerous to leave open, although apparently any software already installed will continue to work.
