Chrome OS hacked for Dell’s Mini 10v, WiFi and all



If you’ve got a Dell Mini 10v and you’ve been hankering to take Chrome OS for a spin in its proper environment — a netbook, that is — today just got a lot more interesting. One helpful tinkerer over at Dell has hacked up a USB-bootable version of the as-yet unfinished (and still quite rough) Chromium iteration of Google’s OS with a working WiFi component. As you’ll recall, in our tests wireless wasn’t happening, but that’s all changed now… for 10v owners at the very least. It looks like there are still some kinks to be worked out, and you’ll be cruising into the OS on a Dell Gmail account, but at least you’ll be able to walk around your house while screaming “I’m using Chrome OS!” unburdened by pesky wires or meddlesome sanity. Check out all the info at the source, and prepare for a crazy Friday night of netbooking.

Droid Eris available for $30, shuns Black Friday theatrics



From everything we can tell, this new Droid Eris deal has nothing to do with the day after Thanksgiving and everything to do with the pure insanity of Walmart Wireless / LetsTalk.com. The same people that brought us the $30 Pixi have slashed the $99 Eris down to $30, which does wonders for removing the Eris from regular Droid comparisons. Judged purely on its own merits, $30 is a pretty smashing price for this handset, but in two years when that hefty Verizon contract is up it’s probably going to seem even more outdated by new versions of Android and faster processors than it does now.

[Thanks, Jeff]

Adamo XPS hands-on impressions



You might’ve seen the Adamo XPS cameo on this month’s Engadget Show, or viewed our unboxing, but in case you’re averse to the long form, really want to dive deep, or perhaps just use some other trite phrase to describe yourself, we’ve done an in-depth video hands-on with the world’s slimmest laptop. The verdict? Well, it’s a well-made machine with a significant issue of a price to performance imbalance. Check out the video after the break to see if all this sexiness can win you over.
