Intel's Light Peak Not "Influenced" By Apple, Expecting To Hit 10Gbps Speeds
"Intel has acknowledged that Light Peak can simply route data from other standards and could implement DisplayPort, FireWire, USB 3.0 and other technologies on a single connection." It seems like it will be pretty awesome and will be capable of delivering 10 gigabit per second data speed.

Android-Based Samsung Behold 2 Passes FCC, Headed To T-Mobile With Small 1,000 mAh Battery and 5MP Camera
So we've seen the Samsung Behold 2 before, so this is nothing new. We've seen it at the WiFi Alliance, on Samsung's own website (hidden), and Bluetooth SIG; and now it has just passed the last step, gaining FCC clearance. The Behold 2 looks like it will have: a touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 resolution, a 5MP camera, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR / WiFi / aGPS support, GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/1900 MHz) / AWS WCDMA/HSPA connectivity, and a measly 1,000 mAh battery.
This phone is headed to T-Mobile, but we still don't know when. It looks like it could be on the cheaper end of the stick, so that will be good news to some consumers.

Sprint Cutting Down Price of the HTC Touch Pro 2 To $200? -- Confirmed Coming October 1st aka Tomorrow ONLY To Big Companies
Update: Boy Genius has reported that this is actually confirmed. Starting tomorrow Sprint's HTC Touch Pro 2 will cost just $199.99 on a 2-year contract after rebates. This matches the price of Verizon's offering, but the difference here is that Sprint actually has them in stock. Next up, T-Mobile's turn to cut their price too.
Update: Even though we heard this morning that Sprint would be cutting the price of the Touch Pro 2 to $199 on a 2-year contract I've got some bad news for you. Mobile Crunch is reporting that this price drop will only be in effect to customers who have 100+ lines of service aka only big companies and corporations. That definitely sucks for the average user, but oh well. Get a Verizon one. Just in case, we can wait until tomorrow if you don't believe me.

BlackBerry Storm 3 "Mr.T" Launching Before Christmas -- Doubtful.
The BlackBerry Storm 2 isn't even available yet and we're already hearing about the BlackBerry Storm 3, codenamed Mr. T. The Storm 3 supposedly has a "high-resolution [possibly capacitive] touchscreen" and a slide-out landscape QWERTY keyboard. Obviously details on this smartphone are slim, since it's still just a rumour that this handset even exists. The rumour states that this handset will be available just in time for Christmas, but I highly doubt that since the Storm 2 isn't supposed to get launch until next month (October).

Microsoft "Courier" To Run Windows 7 and Focuses on Pen Input
I feel that the main difference between Apple's and Microsoft's tablets is that Apple is focusing on touch input, whereas Microsoft is focusing on pen input. The Courier will be finger-friendly - and will have finger gestures for flipping the page and stuff - but they're focusing on pen input. I see Microsoft targeting business employees with their tablet as it seems more "professional."

New Apple iTablet Rumours: 10.7-Inch Display, iPhone OS, Integrated 3G, January 19 Announcement, May / June Launch
Apparently, Apple has tested three different screen sizes starting out with a 7-inch display and realized it was too small, so the latest version has a 10.7-inch display. This tablet is supposedly running on the iPhone OS and its physical looks are similar to an iPhone (slim, rounded back, minimal bezel). The resolution could be around 720p capable and it's not meant to compete with netbooks - "It's an iPhone OS media player and light communcation device." There will be two models at launch, one with and one without integrated 3G. The best part is that people are expecting Apple to announce the iTablet "on or before January 19, 2010, and to use an iPhone-like hype buildup period to start selling it in May or June."
Right now they're waiting on Steve Jobs to give it the "final green light" and there's an 80% chance of that happening... If you're interested, because I know you are, check out all of the rumours at iLounge here.
