Dell Streak gets leaked Android 2.1 update inside the UK, but still an analogous ol’ 1.6 inside the US
What is there to do on a cloudy Friday in Britain? Why, scouring the internet in your phone's firmware update, needless to say. That's probably how a Modaco member unearthed the Dell Streak's latest Android 2.1 build (apparently just for locked O2 devices), anyway.

Beewi Bluetooth headphones certainly look appealing
Oh look, a random pair of UK-only, Bluetooth headphones! They’re the Beewi BBH100, and I will readily admit that they look fairly spiffy. Not too expensive either, at £32.90, or around $50.

For those who are willing to wait it out, the Dell Streak should be going for around $500 unlocked Stateside from next month onwards, proving yet again that patience is a virtue. and should prove mighty tempting.

iPhone 4 sales surpass 1.7 million mark
Apple has just announced that their iPhone 4 is a resounding success, moving a cool 1.7 million units a mere three days after it was launched on June 24th. According to Steve Jobs, “This is the most successful product launch in Apple’s history. Even so, we apologize to those customers who were turned away because we did not have enough supply.” Currently, the iPhone 4 is also available in the UK, France, Germany and Japan, where it will also make an appearance in another 18 countries before July ends, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Good to see the iPhone 4 continue the trend of its predecessors when it comes to sales figures, and we don’t think it will slow down anytime soon, either. Time to see a response in terms of sales figures from the iPhone’s rivals. [Press Release]

It all depends on what you have more of, money or patience.

iPhone 4 FaceTime over a MiFi connection: because we had to try
Okay, so you’re starting to come down from your post-purchase iPhone 4 gadget high and you’re getting into the habit of using it just like you would any other phone. FaceTime was a neat trick on day one, sure — but if there’s a single thing significantly limiting its day-to-day usefulness, it’s the fact that you can only use it over WiFi at the moment. Apple claims that they’ve got more work to do with carriers to make it usable over cellular, but how legit is that claim?
Seeing how MiFis and other mobile hotspot devices have quickly become a staple of doing business for us, we had a few lying around and figured we’d give it a shot: connect the phone to the MiFi, connect the MiFi to the 3G network, and give FaceTime a whirl. Our first attempt — a call between Chris in the US with a Verizon MiFi and Richard in the UK — failed pretty miserably (unlike our transatlantic Fring call), but a second call entirely within the UK using a 3-branded MiFi from Huawei worked quite well, as did a US-to-US Verizon call between Chris and Ross. In other words, it’s definitely possible, but you might not get as flawless of an experience as you’ll get with a nice, fat landline data connection backing you up. Follow the break for all three videos.

Walkman Outsold iPod in Japan During August [Apple]It's party time for Sony, as the planets of consumerism aligned to earn it a unprecedented win over Apple's iPod music-playing range. It's the first time Walkman has outsold Apple's music players inside the region since iPod arrived in 2001. Sony had to make a number of sacrifices with the intention to win back musical market share, though, aggressively under-cutting the cost of its rival.![A Dual-Booting Tablet Running Android 1.6 Sounds Barmy, Viewsonic [Tablets]](http://nexgadget.com/images/A-DualBooting-Tablet-Running-Android-Sounds-Barmy-Viewsonic-Tablets_tuTo-_0.jpg)
