Finally! The Google Nexus One is now available in Canada via Rogers and on AT&T in the US. It's available for the same price, $529.99 USD, that you should be familiar with on T-Mobile. I don't know how much Google will charge your card if you order one from Canada though, but I'm guessing it'll roughly be $540 CAD. I'd go and get one but I'm still waiting for Google Voice. Check it out on Google.com/phone.

Update: According to Mobile Syrup, Google has just updated the Nexus One to show you that the Rogers-compatible model also works with Bell and Telus.

Remember the Calpella-based notebook that we're expecting from Acer? Well, it looks like some details regarding that notebook have just been leaked out. It will be called the Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T and it'll be sporting an Intel Core i5-520UM CPU clocked at 1.06GHz but if you use Turbo Boost you can crank it up to 1.86GHz. Other specs include an 11.6-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, integrated graphics, 2 RAM slots, an HDMI port, WiFi b/g/n support, a muticard reader and three USB 2.0 ports. 3G and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support are both optional.

The body of the notebook is said to be around an inch thick and the battery will last up to 8 hours. The price and release details haven't been mentioned yet, but let's hope we find out by the end of this month.

We heard about this over two months ago and now it's official. Shuttle has just updated their X50 all-in-one PC to V2 and packed in an Intel Atom D510 CPU. The touchscreen display is 15.6-inches and sports a 1,366 x 768 resolution and inside you'll find up to 4GB of RAM and a 2.5-inch HDD / SSD. There's also an integrated webcam, audio in / out, an Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 / VGA ports, and a mini PCIe slot for your WiFi needs. The X50 V2 uses half the power of its predecessor and it's available now in black or white. You can go and get one now for €353 ($484 USD). Check it out on Shuttle here.

Finally the Spring Design Alex e-book reader is available for you to purchase. This $399 reader comes with an e-ink display at the top and an Android coloured touchscreen display on the bottom. If you purchase one now, the shipping date is said to be April 14th. Unfortunately, it doesn't have integrated 3G, but that model should be available later - but who knows when that will be. It does have WiFi but it only uses Android 1.5 which is another let down. Check it out here.

We've heard about this PMP before so you shouldn't be too surprised. The Cowon J3 PMP is packing a 3.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen display with a 480 x 272 resolution. This PMP will be available later this month (likely just overseas) and packs goodies like Bluetooth, WiFi, a TV output, and 4GB / 8GB / 16GB models. This PMP has already passed the FCC so just look out for it to hit the stores soon. The price tag wasn't mentioned.

An upcoming handset from Samsung has just been pictured in the wild and it's the S3370. We haven't heard anything about this phone before today and it's pretty impressive since it packs integrated 3G connectivity and will be available unlocked for just €99 ($136 USD). This handset appears to be packing a touchscreen display, a camera on the back, Bluetooth, and a microSD card slot. The UI is going to be their own TouchWiz UI but how could you complain with the cheap price tag.

I have no clue what the Dell M01M001 is but it has just got approved by the GCF. This handset is rocking quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE along with dual-band UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA connectivity so it's definitely a phone of some sort. Unfortunately that's all we know about this handset so far so let's hope it runs either Android or Windows Phone 7.

So it looks like the Motorola CLIQ XT could be launching as soon as tomorrow, March 17th. This handset will reportedly be available for $99 on a 2-year contract and will actually be part of a Buy One Get One Free deal thanks to T-Mobile. This is pretty awesome for another Android handset launch, so go and scoop two of them up if you want to.

This should come as no surprise. Samsung has just mentioned that they have plans to enter the Slate PC business aka the tablet market. They have started this out by calling the iPad a "glorified MID." Samsung didn't mention any details about their possible tablet that will debut later (second half) this year but they hinted that it'll be Atom-based and there'll be a docking station.

It looks like Verizon will be getting another Samsung handset that will supposedly be the Rogue U960's younger brother. The Samsung Reality U820 will be rocking a 3-inch touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 resolution, social integration, a 3.2MP camera with a flash, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth support, and the Touchwiz UI. The price and release date hasn't been mentioned yet but it should be available sometime in April and, I assume, will be cheaper than the Rogue. Unfortunately, you will need a data plan for this handset.

Acer has let another one of their netbooks get fondled at the FCC offices. This one is the Aspire One 721 which we've never heard about before. It'll be another 11-inch netbook that'll feature several ports including three USB 2.0, VGA, and HDMI. There was no mention of the spec sheet so let's not assume that this will be Atom-based since it could be AMD-based. Check out the FCC filing here.

It looks like the Samsung CorbyPRO (B5310) is reportedly starting to ship to Canada's Rogers stores across the nation. This handset will be available for $69.99 on a 3-year contract, $119.99 on a 2-year contract, $219.99 on a 1-year contract, and $274.99 contract-free. This handset is packing a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display with a 240 x 320 resolution, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, a 3MP camera with video recording capabilities, a microSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, social integration, and the Touchwiz UI.
