Jon Rubinstein, CEO of Palm, recently took stage at this year’s CES to let us know that the Palm Pixi Plus is in fact a real device and is on its way to Verizon. If you’ll recall, rumors began circulating late last month that a device with this name would be hitting the streets at some point in the near future.

While you can read everything you want to know about the Pixi Plus in the press release here but notable features include 16GB of internal storage, WiFi and TouchStone compatibility.

We have no idea when the Dragon is actually coming but it looks like the handset is currently being tested by Google. In fact rumors say that “senior Android guys” are currently carrying the Dragon/Passion and testing it. According to TechCrunch the phone should arrive in the following months and it’s supposed thinner than the Droid or the iPhone 3GS. Also of interest is the 1GHz Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm which is rumored to power all our mobile needs on an HTC Dragon.

The phone hasn’t been officially confirmed by either Google or HTC. No carrier has leaked any plans regarding the Dragon so we might not see it in stores this year. But the fact that Android execs are currently playing with the Dragon/Passion is all we need so far. We know the phone exists and we hope to see it, if not this year then maybe early next year.

There you go, you wanted Acer to make Android phones and the Acer Liquid A1 is here. And what a smartphone it is! The Liquid A1 has been just announced and it’s going to be the first Android handset to offer you a Qualcomm 1GHz Snapdragon processor. You know, the same processor found in two fine phones, the TG01 from Toshiba and the HD2 from HTC.

The Liquid will offer you a WVGA touchscreen display, a 5-megapixel camera, HSPA connectivity, social networking integration and Android 1.6 Donut in the background. One special feature is the Spinlets application, an app that will offer let you stream music and video whenever you want, as long as you have a dependable broadband or 3G connection available.

Although it has been officially unveiled, pricing and release dates are still unknown.
