BlackBerry Messenger: it’s the holy grail of the BlackBerry platform, and, for many, the only real reason why they don’t make the jump to another smartphone. Well, RIM has finally gone ahead and released the latest and greatest version upon the world (in an official capacity at least), and we’re definitely pleased with the added functionality and other updates that they’ve cooked in to the app to make it even more useful and better. Be sure to check out Engadget Mobile for a review of what’s hot, what’s new, and what we think of it all.

Like the
Tesla Roadster but think it’s just not expensive enough for you? Then fear not, person we’d like to get to know, ’cause the Tesla Roadster Sport is here complete with a $19,500 premium over its less sporty counterpart. Thankfully, according to the lucky folks at
Autoblog Green, you will get quite a few bonuses for that extra cash, including an improved 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds, a new suspension that can be set to one of ten different settings and, perhaps most importantly, a new set of black-finish forged wheels (paired with some Yokohama ADVAN A048 tires) that’ll ensure no one mistakes it for a “low end” Tesla. Be sure to hit up the read link below for Autoblog Green’s full report, not to mention plenty of pics inside and out.

Considering the tablet rumors swirling lately, we find it rather funny that Archos calls the new Android-based Archos5 an “Internet Tablet,” but they’ve been doing it for so long we suppose they’re allowed to cash in on the hype a little, right? In any event, the 5-inch PMP is now on sale at Amazon for in both 160GB ($390) and 32GB ($370) sizes — yep, you can finally buy a non-phone Android device, and it’s a pretty capable media player too boot, even if the usual Archos resistive touchscreen issues get in the way. Still, we know quite a few of you have been waiting for this — anyone throwing down?

Well, this is interesting: we’d been under the impression that Telefonica had pretty much wrapped up a global exclusive on the GSM Palm Pre under the O2 and Movistar brands, but here we are, looking at two videos which claim that the Pre will launch in Mexico under rival América Móvil’s Telcel label. That’s certainly interesting — and even more intriguingly, we’re told that the gentlemen in this video are discussing storage expansion slots on the Pre, which is basically like having a conversation about Santa winning the Super Bowl in terms of Things That Are Real.

Videos after the break — and if anyone wants to leave a better translation for us in comments, we’re all ears.
