HTC kicked out a new phone today called the Tattoo, an Android based handset. It draws its name from the ability for users to completely customize the handset in all facets, which might even included the back cover of the device. Features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, 2.8-inch touchscreen…

There are remotes and then there are Creston remotes.  Set for release in July, the TPMC-3X goes above and beyond the requirements of any home theater remote and includes Texas Instrument’s  OMAP 2 OMAP2430 processor under its hood, which is often found in many of today’s mobile phones.  There is no word on price but I’m guessing it is ultra expensive considering it sports a 2.8-inch touchscreen LCD, Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 OS, WiFi, 27 customizable tactile push buttons and the ability to jack into the security camera of your choice.  It’s a total battery hog – 5 hours on one charge – but they’ve tossed in a sleep mode and docking station for charging.

While I’ll reserve my excitement for less leaked phones – yeah, we saw high rez pics of this back in mid February – Motorola did officially announce their QA4 slider touchscreen handset today.  While it surely is a decent looking device there isn’t anything revolutionary under its hood: 2.8-inch touchscreen, widget shortcut menu, slide out keypad, aGPS, quad-band CDMA and EVDO connectivity, stereo Bluetooth, 2MP camera and a microSD card slot.

Expect the QA4 to drop in Q2. We’re still waiting for details on carrier and price.

Garmin-Asus announced their official partnership last week and with it unveiled the official Nuvifone, the G60.  Although we got clued into other Nuvifones at the time of the announcement we didn’t get any specific details.  Today, Garmin-Asus unveiled their second phone, the M20.  It’s a Window Mobile 6.1 based handset with a 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen, quad-band, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, real-time traffic, weather, movie, web browser and more.  The M20 will be available in 4GB and 8GB flavors and we’ll get official release date and pricing sometime in the next few months.

The gScreen laptop is one of those laptops that justifies – scratch that, justifies a double take.  Pun aside, is this thing real?  Based on the one lone picture on their site, it appears as though the dueling 15.4-inch screens sit on top of one and other and slide in an opposite direction to form one giant LCD that the company reports is over 28-inches wide.  The gScreen can be configured in a variety of manners, with options for an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz T9600 or P8400 2.26GHz processor, 4-8GB of RAM, 160GB-500GB 7200rpm hard drive, NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M Graphics or GeForce 9800M GT both with 512MB dedicated memory and a 6 or 9-cell battery.  Inputs include 6x USB 2.0 ports, Display port, Ethernet, Firewire and audio.  Surprisingly, the machine only weighs 7.7lbs.

You can preorder one at their Amazon store starting February 25th.

And the leaks this week just keep on flowing.  What we’ve got here is the Samsung M7600.  Putting aside its unremarkable UI, the handset, which bears a very close resemblance to the Helio Ocean, includes a 2.8-inch AMOLED, touchscreen, media player, 3MP camera, and a couple of additional features you just wouldn’t expect: a DJ scratching app of some sort and audio powered by Bang and Olufsen.  The phone is expected in May, but like all the other leaks we’ve seen this week you’ll probably see it at the Mobile World Congress.
