Archos 7 - that other tablet - leaked

Sure, we're all about to turn our attention to what we expect to be the Apple Tablet (check out TiPB's meta-liveblog), there's still plenty of Android-powered tablet love to go around. And above is the Archos 7, outed by UK dealer Data-Mind. You're looking at a 7-inch LCD screen at 800x480, about 2.2 inches bigger than the Archos 5. There's 8GB of storage onboard, and the usual multimedia playback. Look for it in March for a very respectable £149.99 ($242). [Data-Mind via Gizmodo]

Color up your Nexus One

Sure, the Nexus One is powerful enough with that 1GHz Snapdragon processor, and its 3.7-inch AMOLED screen is crisp enough. But is it pink enough? Fan-favorite ColorWare is now doing its custom paint-job thing with the Nexus One. You can pimp out a brand-new Nexus One for about $800 (base price), or send in your own Nexus One for a retrofit for about $175. [ColorWare]

Droid Gets Overclocked to 1.1 GHz

Thanks to the guys at Alldroid, the Motorola Droid just got its processor overlocked and can now run at speeds as high as 1.1GHz. The ARM Cortex A8 Processor in the Droid typically runs at 550MHz so that's exactly double the frequency. To be honest, the guys who did the overclocking actually said 800GHz is actually the ideal usable speed. But either way, it's making an already fast and speedy Droid even faster and speedier. No mention to how it deals with heat or battery life, though.
Make no mistake, the ARM Cortex A8 Processor in the Droid is a very capable chip even at 550MHz. But with the 1GHz Snapdragon Processor powering the superspeedy Nexus One, we can definitely why people want to go even faster. You can learn how to overclock your Droid here. As with any of these crazy things, you have to be rooted.

Motorola Teases Their Super Bowl Ad

We already knew that Motorola had spent a boatload of money to air an ad during the Super Bowl (Go Saints!), but what would they be advertising? We're leaning towards the Backflip. The Backflip was announced at CES but has yet to been properly unveiled to the general public, what better way to do it than the Super Bowl. Plus, the teaser video above ends with the Motoblur logo, which the Backflip will run.
Motorola has just put up a teaser video for their commercial (watch it after the jump!). Since Super Bowl ad spots costs millions of dollars, we guess they had to find a way to stretch their dollar and build excitement for the spot. According to Motorola, the ad will air during the 3rd Quarter and feature a well-known celebrity.
Any guesses on who that celebrity might be? Check out Motorola's Facebook page for more info. And be sure to watch the teaser video after the jump!

Walmart says it's not selling Nexus One

Sorry, folks. Looks like you're not going to be buying the Google Nexus One at Wally World anytime soon. Despite still having it listed on its "Let's Talk" wireless retail site (albeit as "no longer available"), Walmart issued a statement today saying it won't be the first brick-and-mortar store to carry the phone, nor will it be selling it online.
"Due to a technical error, this item erroneously was displayed on our site. We’re working with our partner Let’s Talk to have it removed as quickly as possible. We have no plans to carry Nexus One in Walmart stores or online at Walmart.com at this time."
The good news is you can still buy tires, get groceries, find ladies' hosiery, get a flu shot, buy diapers and get your oil changed all in one place. [via BusinessInsider]

Hey, look, another HTC Bravo

Here's the best look yet of the still-unannounced HTC Bravo, which we're expecting to see in Europe at some point. And this one's done up in Polish, so chances are the 3.7-inch AMOLED, 1GHz Snapdragon device will end up there, too. [Komorkomania via Unwired View]

How to: Hard-reset the Nexus One

Two words phrases we throw around a lot: Soft reset and hard reset. The former is what it's called when you turn your phone off and on, or pull the battery. The latter is a bit more drastic. But sometimes things go wrong, and you need to restore it back to its factory settings, wiping all of your applications and personal data. Here's how you hard reset the Google Nexus One:
- With the phone off, hold the Volume Down button and press and release the Power button.
- You'll boot into the menu you see above with the little skateboard guys. Select Clear Storage from the list by pressing the Volume Down button.
- Press the Power button, and confirm by pressing Volume Up.
- Sit back while your phone reboots in its virgin state.

Wal-Mart To Sell The Nexus One Soon ?

Um, wow. After making a big deal about the new Google Phone Store and how it could potentially change everything, could the Nexus One just fall back into the typical way of smartphone life? As in, just be available in brick and mortar stores for whomever, wherever? Maybe. Wal-Mart just put a 'Coming Soon' page for the Nexus One and you can even be notified via e-mail when the item becomes available. The Nexus One page also lists specs and description, so it's more than just any old slip of the click.
But this could be a mistake because the Wal-Mart Nexus One page lists the 3G bands as AT&T Capable (850/1900) when we know its UMTS/HSDPA bands are strictly for T-Mobile. In fact, the page also lists the Nexus One as CDMA capable, which was coming eventually but not until Spring 2010. Or maybe the Nexus One at Wal-Mart could pack all those bands and have 3G on every carrier?
If this is all true, and we blindly hope that it is, we're sure the Nexus One will be able to push more units than the skimpy 20,000 it did in the first week. And if this is true, is this Google admitting a mistake with their original Nexus One philosophy? Or simply an extension of it since the carriers don't get involved?
Hit the jump to see the 3G bands listed for the Nexus One!
