Android: It may not be the best Twitter client for Android, but the still-solid official Twitter client just got better with a few long-awaited additions. Now, you can get push notifications for tweets, mentions, and direct messages, which is a lot lighter on your battery than the previous notification method (not to mention faster). You can also use multiple accounts in the same app, which is great if you have an account that you need to manage for work, or just a secret account from which you post your more ridiculous 140-character thoughts. Hit the link to read more about the update, or head to the Android Market to download it. [Twitter Blog] More »

Apparently, when Motorola was trying to figure out why its Xoom has struggled so mightily in against the iPad 2, the company didn’t focus on its high starting price or slightly heftier hardware. Instead, it decided the issue was the screen — in particular the format — and rumor has it that Moto is working on a new tablet (probably not the Xoom 2 we’ve glimpsed) that ditches the 16:9 ratio for the more square 4:3 found on Apple’s slate. Supposedly the non-widescreen device will sport an extremely pixel-dense 2048 x 1536, 10-inch display and run Ice Cream Sandwich when it lands later this year or early next. We’re not entirely convinced this will pan out and, honestly, we’ve always preferred the more more modern widescreen format — but, if the iPad sells with it’s old-school ratio we suppose it’s worth a shot.

The HP TouchPad received its first price drop yesterday, a stunning $70 off the original price. This basically represents a 13.5% savings before it’s even available on Friday. Today, other retailers have followed suit and slashed the price too: Future Shop, London Drugs and Staples. However, if you feel like giving HP some dough you can still buy the TouchPad at the full retail price at their online store ($519.99 for the 16GB and $619.99 for the 32GB version).

We’ll be putting our review up shortly.

Winds fanned it toward neighboring Argentina, prompting the government to evacuate several thousand residents, authorities said.

As Canadians patiently wait for Motorola to upgrade the XOOM to OS 3.1 (other countries are already getting 3.2), new users will benefit from a $100 price drop. The XOOM with Wi-Fi was released on April 6th for a high $599.99 but now a couple months later it’s been reduced to the average tablet price of $499.99. This now meets the iPad 2, PlayBook and will also be on par with the upcoming HP TouchPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

The IdeaPad K1’s long, crazy journey of near-availability looks to finally be at an end. Lenovo’s ethereal Honeycomb tablet has been popping up in online retail sites since May, teasing us with availability in June, and finally offering the promise of pre-order earlier this month. It seems that the plucky 10.1 inch Tegra 2 slate has taken the final step separating itself from the hands of consumers: getting sent out for shipment. One tipster passed along shipping confirmation from Office Depot that has the device lined up for delivery today — assuming, of course that the recipient is there to answer the door in the eight and a half hour delivery window provided.
