According to Nikkei, Fujitsu will offer the very first Mango device, a waterproof phone called the IS12T, on KDDI “as early as late next month.” The phone is to be sold for 30,000 – 40,000 yen ($378 – 505), a very reasonable price for what will likely be a higher-end device and ice-cream proof. And — if it’s the same handset showcased at this week’s Worldwide Partner Conference — a pink version will be on sale. So, will Microsoft’s Mango update actually manage to arrive in the early fall?

Robots are cute, and this one’s no obligation. It’s apparently made of a trash can, some LEDs, and other electronic components, and also apparently created in three days on a budget just barely exceeding $100. Despite its absolutely adorable appearance, this Android seems hell-bent on destruction, literally beating itself up, and eventually falling on its face.

Thanks to a leak on Apple’s own website, there’s evidence that Cupertino’s readying a formal introduction of Thunderbolt to more devices. Keen eyes from MacRumors have spotted products on the site now sporting OS X Lion backgrounds, notably, what appears to be T-bolt connected Cinema Displays. The images showing the hook-up no longer appear to be listed, but the dual-setup above sure looks nifty. Considering Lion’s got about two weeks left to rear its head and meet that July release, we’d surmise it won’t be long until you’ll be able to opt for a similar rig. Someone please tell Apple to include an anti-glare option ASAP!

If you’re one of the few people out there that’s rich enough to be rocking a Windows Home Server 2011 machine and a WP7 handset, you’re probably gonna want to get this feature set up ASAP. The combination of server-side plug-in and phone app lets you remotely control your server — triggering backups, managing users, and viewing alerts. It also lets you pull up media files stored on your server, though you can’t copy them locally for your later viewing or listening pleasure. It’s not just for home users either. The plug-in works with Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials and Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials, designed for smaller companies that rely on Microsoft-powered mobiles. You can download the server add-on at the more coverage link, and the smartphone app from the Zune Marketplace.

Want to share your iPad with your family members, but is concern over some privacy things that even your family members shouldn’t know? Don’t worry, as a new tweak is on its way to that other app store that should make your life a little easier: user profiles for iOS. The mod, dubbed iUsers, adds a user login button to the iPad’s lock screen. The tweak segregates application data and preferences between users, meaning that user A’s Angry Birds score won’t muddle and mix with User B’s perfect three-star rating. App installations, music, and video content are currently shared between users, but the tweak’s creators hope to remedy that in a future update. It’s a jailbreak only mod, of course, but still a neat feature we’d love to see implemented in future versions of iOS, as always. The iUsers tweak should be hitting Cydia soon, but folks who want an early peek can snag it now by following the instructions in the source link.

We’ve seen plenty of flagship Android smartphones shipping with Gingerbread, but Gingerbread is not just for the high-end folks — even the entry-level guys need a little rhizome flavoured love now and then. But don’t worry, as LG have you covered with their latest Android phone.

The company is introducing a pair of devices to its Optimus line dubbed the Net and Pro. The Optimus Pro, just like its similar moniker Droid Pro, is a candybar QWERTY device with a 2.8-inch touchscreen. The Pro comes in a trio of color options, including something called “titan.”

The Net, on the other hand, is a fully touchscreen affair (though, the North American version may sport a sliding QWERTY pad), with a 3.2-inch 320 x 480 display. LG is pushing its Social+ widgets that put Twitter and Facebook on your homescreen — something we all know others have had tons of success with. Both devices pack a 1500mAh battery and an 800 MHz CPU, which should be enough for less demanding smartphone users.

They’ll be rolling out this summer starting in Europe with a much affordable price.

If you think the picture above is photoshopped, then you’re very wrong. That insane laptop is real, and really comes with dual-monitor. After first appearing in September of 2009, GScreen went missing, until 2010 where it made a short appearance again. Now, however, it seems that the company is ready to show their dual-screen laptop to the world, for real.

The first run of SpaceBooks is now up for pre-order, with each one offering a pair of 17.3-inch displays that boast a 1920 x 1080 screen resolution. Each panel slides out horizontally (think wings, but on a laptop), and creates quite the spacious area for creative professionals to immerse themselves in.

The entry-level piece is being hawked for $2,395, which nets you a 2.66GHz Core i5-560M CPU, 4GB of DDR3 memory, NVIDIA’s GeForce GTS 250M (1GB), a 500GB HDD, DVD burner and a magnesium alloy frame. The pricier sibling is marked at $2,795, with that premium grabbing you a 1.73GHz Core i7-740QM, double the RAM and quadruple the bragging rights. Yes, those processors seemed to be NOT from the Sandy Bridge lineup. There’s no exact word on when these will ship out, but you’ll need to in-between time just to wrap your mind around the object you’re certainly still peering at above.
