- Toshiba kicks off pre-orders for Windows 8 PCs, all due to ship October 26th
Not to be outdone by Korean rival Samsung, Toshiba has become the latest manufacturer to announce it’s now accepting pre-orders for its loaded repertoire of Windows 8 PCs. Naturally, this contains an array of options for all different types of budgets and preferences, including the Japanese company’s Satellite S, P and L laptops or the U series of Ultrabooks, the Qosmio X875 for gamers and, for those who enjoy a more desktop-friendly setup, the LX815 and LX835 all-in-ones are also there for the taking. As expected, Toshiba will be shipping online pre-orders on October 26th, while folks who decide to go the brick-and-mortar route should be able to physically pick one up on that very same day. There’s still a lot more where this came from, but you’ll have to head over to Toshiba’s site to see what else the outfit has to offer — link to the store is just down below.

Toshiba | Email this | Comments - Chameleon Android launcher hits version 1.1, adds support for native widgets
It’s not every day that we cover launchers of any kind, but when we heard the Kickstarter-funded Chameleon had been updated to version 1.1, we thought those of you who have supported the project since its early days would be happy to hear the news. And while the refresh itself doesn’t bring many changes, it does include the long-awaited support for stock Android widgets — not to mention a few welcomed improvements to the current Twitter, Google Calendar and YouTube homescreen-living apparatuses. Naturally, these will go hand to hand with those tweaks announced less than a month ago in version 1.0 of the tablet launcher. There’s a video courtesy of Chameleon situated down below — in case you’re interested in seeing what all the fuss is about before you download the Android commodities.

Android Police | Google Play | Email this | Comments - Micron’s RealSSD P320h PCI Express SSD gets reviewed: wildly fast, but a little unstable
“Taking one’s sweet time” just took on an entirely new meaning. Well over a year after Micron first introduced its RealSSD P320h PCI Express SSD, the aforesaid device is finally hitting the general availability stage. And with that, the flood of reviews begins. What sets this guy apart right out of the box is its native stature; much like Fusion-io (and very unlike most all other rivals from OCZ, Intel, LSI, etc.), this thing sidesteps the mishmash of SATA / SAS controllers and opts for a direct-attached PCIe approach. At around $7,000, it’s clearly aimed first at enterprise, but given Micron’s history in the consumer space, one could assume that this kind of wizardry will eventually trickle down. The fine folks over at HotHardware found their tester to be shockingly quick, easily outpacing its rivals when it came to read and write performance. Unfortunately, the Windows drivers provided weren’t exactly mature, which led to a few booting issues when swapping in varying motherboards. Of course, no one ever said the Ferrari of PCIe SSDs would purr without a bit of finagling. Hit up the links below for the full spiel.

OnePlus 6T will be unveiled a day early thanks to Apple
OnePlus was all busy preparing for its big event on October 30 in New York, where its next smartphone was finally supposed to become 100% official. And then Apple announced an event on the exact same day, in the same city even. Because of that, the OnePlus 6T's unveiling is now taking place a day early, on October 29, still in NYC. Pete Lau, the company's CEO, shared a lengthy post on its forums going into the decision process, and it basically all boils down to something along the lines of - "we didn't want Apple to steal our thunder".

Huawei Mate 20 Pro's face unlocking gets fooled quite easily
2D face unlocking (the type built into Android for the past few years) is not very secure, and we've known that for some time. But ever since Apple introduced the world's first 3D system (which it calls Face ID), we were under the impression that it was pretty much on par, security-wise, with a fingerprint scanner. You can then imagine our surprise to find out that a couple of guys in Germany were both able to unlock the same Huawei Mate 20 Pro phone with their faces, despite only one of them being enrolled into the system. The Mate 20 Pro uses a 3D face unlocking mechanism, so in...
