Samsung just accidentally leaked a Sprint-bound Android QWERTY slider called the Moment in an otherwise totally boring press release about its OLED handset lineup -- it'll have an 800MHz processor, a 3.2-inch AMOLED screen, optical trackpad and a 3.2 megapixel camera. We're guessing this is the long-rumored
"high-end" InstinctQ, but we're not sure why Sprint and Sammy have dropped the Instinct branding in favor of Moment. Samsung has a press event scheduled for 2PM EST, so we're guessing we'll find out more shortly -- stay tuned. Follow the break for live shots!
Update: Oop -- Sprint just
posted its PR ahead of the event as well, along with
a pre-registration page. Yep, the Moment is indeed the InstinctQ. Pricing will be $179 on a two-year contract after $50 instant savings and a $100 mail-in rebate when it launches November 1. Oh, and there's no TouchWiz here after all -- that's
another hyped manufacturer UI shelved in favor of "With Google" branding. Interesting.

The phone you're peering at above has more names than we'd care to count, but the so-called
Aries (or the
Gemini's CDMA'd sibling, if you please) may end up on Verizon as one of two things: the
BlackBerry Curve 8530 or the
BlackBerry Curve 2. The folks over at
CrackBerry managed to get their hands on a unit far before this thing has even been officially released, and of course they've given us the rundown just as the
Storm2 is stealing all of the attention over at Big Red. The WiFi-equipped handset (yeah, you read that right) was said to be "identical to the Curve 8520" with the exception of the back cover design, meaning that while solid, the device definitely felt "entry-level." The interface was said to be satisfactorily snappy, the optical trackpad was dubbed "really great" and the web browser was still thoroughly worthless. If you really need to hear more, give that read link a look.

Well, here's a bit of an extra special
KIRF to start the week on the right note. Not only one of the first Nexus One clones we've seen (
HTC Desire aside), but a Nexus One clone running some sort of reasonably faithful imitation of iPhone OS (or the iPhone OS home screen, at least). Of course, considering the 550 yuan price tag (or about $80), you likely won't find a
Snapdragon at the heart of this one, and you'll have to make do with a slightly smaller 3.2-inch screen compared to the real deal, along with an actual trackball instead of an optical trackpad. Not much more than that go on at the moment, unfortunately, but there are more blurry pictures where this one came from at the link below.

The last couple of years, the internet has been
swept up in rumors of an external multitouch touchpad peripheral being announced by Apple, and today—on the dawn of WWDC—photos showing just that have been leaked.

This morning when
I wrote a post about Apple's new Magic Trackpad, I knew it would be a little controversial. After all, I basically said that it was the beginning of the end of the mouse -- a device that everyone reading the post probably still uses for a good chunk of their computing on a daily basis. But I didn't expect what I said to be
that controversial. To the point where we have to declare the comment section to be a war zone. I mean come on, it's a mouse. Does anyone really think it's going to be the main way we interact with computers in the future? It's a 50-year old technology for Chrissakes. Let me be clear: I'm not saying trackpads and other multi-touch surfaces are going to replace the mouse overnight. Of course they're not. I'm also not saying that the Magic Trackpad specifically is going to kill the mouse. Of course it's not -- it's Mac-only, that's still a small percentage of overall computer users. What I am saying is that the Magic Trackpad is the device that is signaling the end of the mouse era. It's a harbinger, if you will.
