New Sony Ericsson Rachael UI video hits, still looks nothing like Android

Calling this Rachael UI an Android “skin” is like calling Windows 95 a “DOS skin,” but that’s not to say there’s nothing to love about it. In fact, we’re rather relieved that Sony Ericsson seems to be addressing Android’s incredibly lackluster media playback interface, the SE “mediascape” version of which dominates this particular video — a sequel to the first Rachael UI tease we got back in July .

Palm Pixi definitely shipping with a new webOS version, but which?

Leaked docs show HTC’s DROID Eris launching on November 6th for $99, running Android 1.5

Like it or not, we’ve got it on pretty reasonable authority that HTC’s first “DROID” phone is nothing more than a rebadged, shape-shifted Hero (something we’ve been hearing for a while now ), and that it’ll be launching on Verizon on November 6th, the same day as Motorola’s DROID .
