—Verizon launches third Android device:<\/strong> Verizon will begin selling the Motorola (NYSE: MOT<\/a>) DEVOUR, its third Google (NSDQ: GOOG<\/a>) Android phone next month. The phone will come with Motorola’s MOTOBLUR, a software layer that syncs contacts from work and personal e-mail services, and also pushes down updates from social sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. The phone has a slide-out Qwerty keyboard, and a 3.1 inch touchscreen. No word on pricing. [Release<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

—Nexus One gets multi-touch:<\/strong> This week, Google starts pushing out a software update to the Nexus One that will provide new features and fix some bugs. Most notably, it will enable multitouch, or what Google is calling “pinch to zoom,” much like the iPhone has today. Users will also get the Google Goggles app and an new version of maps. 3G connectivity should also improve. [Release<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

—Will the next tablet come with Android?:<\/strong> Potentially there will be tablets running Android, as we saw at CES, but now speculation is shifting to Google’s Chrome PC operating system. Google’s “The Chromium Project” has released a number of mockups and early concepts regarding what a Chrome-based tablet PC might look like. Unlike the just-announced Apple (NSDQ: AAPL<\/a>) iPad, which revolves around apps, the Chrome tablet takes a more PC approach. [PCWorld<\/a>.]\n<\/p>\n
