| To recap, the Mini 5 is a 1GHz Snapdragon-
| powered netpad (did I just coin a phrase?)
| running Android 1.6 with 5 megapixel camera,
| Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G mobile. It should be
| selling for $1,098 before carrier subsidy.

| controllers, complete with "all-points" multi-
| touch signaling support. Meanwhile, "Cyanogen"
| has hacked a multi-touch interface for
| Google's Nexus One phone, and Google is
| upgrading the Android-based phone's spotty 3G
| support, says eWEEK.
