For starters, the Lapdock 100 exchanged its black facade for a more charcoal-looking exterior. It has the same sort of large keyboard as before, making typing feel so much more natural than on a tiny touchscreen. The dock's display now measures-in at 10.1 inches, down from the 11.6 original, and although we couldn't find the exact figure, it's likely the same 1366?768 resolution.
The Lapdock 100 will be compatible with future Webtop-enabled models (and existing ones), and weighs just 2.2 pounds. AT&T will be the first to get it, with sales starting online on October 17. Verizon and Sprint will get the dock before the year's end.

Adobe's Flash has a bit of an uncertain future on mobile devices. Ever since Apple snubbed it with the iPhone, what was once a mainstay of the PC-based web experience is seeing new technologies like HTML5 arrive to muscle-in on its turf. In order to stay relevant, Adobe needs to keep content providers churning out Flash; one of the ways it can keep developers focused is through the introduction of stand-out features, and that's what it hopes to achieve with the release of Flash Player 11, announced today for an October release. 
Up until the beginning of the month, we had known Samsung's Transform Ultra for Boost Mobile as the SPH-M930 QWERTY slider. That all changed thanks to a tipster, hooking us up with some pics of the phone and a few specs. What we didn't know at the time was when Boost would end up releasing the phone; now Boost has officially announced the Transform Ultra, revealing it will arrive on October 7. 
We knew multimedia-oriented phones are going to come out from the Taiwanese manufacturer once it teamed up with Beats by Dr. Dre and the HTC Sensation XE is the first one the phone maker announces.

If last month we've seen the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman, this time it's Sony alone bringing back the Walkman brand and they are doing it with the help of Android. Sony has just announced the Walkman Z which is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread. 
We heard a rumor late last month about an Android smartphone called the Impulse; it was supposedly made by Samsung, and might be one of the first LTE devices on AT&T's fledgling network, but there wasn't much to go on besides that one render of the phone. As fate would it have it, it looks like the name was spot-on, but nearly everything else about that rumor is turning out to be wrong. In reality, the Impulse is manufactured by Huawei, and while it will find a home on AT&T, it won't be an LTE device. 
And you thought the stylus went extinct along with Windows Mobile of yesteryear? Think again! Companies like HTC, and now Samsung, are bringing back the stylus, this time on capacitive screens. Today Samsung announced the Galaxy Note, a impressively powerful smartphone with a massive 5.3" Super AMOLED (but not S-AMOLED Plus, oddly) display that rocks *slightly beyond* HD resolution, at 1280x800, making for a pixel density of 285. Inside it has the dual-core Exynos that we've come to love, but clocked at a faster-than-Galaxy-S-II 1.4GHz per core. The Galaxy Note will come with Gingerbread, and will be HSPA+ capable. In terms of size and weight, Samsung has managed to keep the Galaxy Note quite lean: it's less than 10mm thick, and weighs 6.3 ounces. As a point of comparison, the Dell Streak, another smartphone/tablet hybrid (but with a 5" display and lower resolution screen), is 7.7 grams, and around the same thickness. There's also plenty of battery power to drive the big display with a 2500mAh battery.
