We’ve already seen the Motorola Devour in the wild once, but with the official Verizon launch right around the corner and pre-sales underway, it looks like at least one more unit has made it out into the world. Great — but we’d like a video of this thing and its mid-range processor running Flash, please.
[Thanks, Zach]

Chrome OS. Man, seems like Google has gotten its hands into quite a few things since we last heard of that, but the underground is keeping things lively with new builds of Chromium OS — you know, to keep us satisfied while we wait for the real deal. Hexxeh has just unleashed its latest build, dubbed Flow, which makes a few critical improvements, particularly if you’re planning to install the system onto an Ion-based rig. Flow includes full NVIDIA Ion acceleration, and it also “improves battery life” while making the automatic update… um, work. Hit that source link to get your download on, and if you’ve been holding out for fear of trying something new, you’ve got your whole weekend to fix things should things go terribly awry.
[Thanks, Amrita]

Wow, some nice gadget fairy has just made our wish come true! Soon after our Dell Mini 5 impressions post went live, eagle-eyed reader unclepain reported that the phone’s docking station has made a quiet appearance in T3 Greek Edition’s bizarre hands-on video (seriously, we get the “DELLICIOUS” joke, but does that poor bloke really have to stand like that throughout the video?). According to the tiny bit of English we heard, the dock will have HDMI output and a USB port (for connecting to the computer, we presume) on the back. You can also see the short transparent back support when the presenter undocks the phone. Now, bundle this with Mini 5 or throw it à la carte at a reasonable price and we’re sold. Eccentric footage after the break.
[Thanks, unclepain]

Visa may be pushing ahead to bring NFC to phones via
microSD cards, but it looks like phones with built-in NFC capabilities have now suffered a bit of a setback, as Nokia has officially canceled its already delayed
6216 handset. That phone was a rather unimpressive candy bar in most respects, but it was the first such phone that would have tied NFC payments to a carrier’s SIM card, which Nokia had hoped would have been enough to at least give it a foothold, if not kick-start a wave of NFC handsets. For its part, Nokia isn’t offering too many details on the reasons for the cancellation, saying only that it felt “the quality of the consumer experience was not what it needed to be,” and adding that its “commitment to NFC remains as strong as ever.”

Here’s hoping you didn’t pay your British bud to bring you one of those fancy Tenori-On Orange music makers over the holidays, ’cause if so, you just paid an absurd premium to get it a few months ahead of time. Oh, and now you’ve got an AC adapter that’s bigger than your face. Nice. At long last, experimental musicians here in America are being treated to a native version of the Tenori-On O, which is the “more affordable” sibling to the also-shipping Tenori-On W. Functionally, the new O model is exactly the same as the original W model, except it can’t be operated with batteries, its 256 orange LEDs are only visible on one side of the unit and it’s encased in plastic; Yamaha’s marketing the O to producers and studio hounds, whereas the W is made more for live performances. Whatever your fancy, the O should be available in a matter of moments for around $699.99 on the street, while the W can be had for around $300 more.
