We learned earlier today that Sony’s wedge-shaped wonder, the Tablet S, would be arriving on European shores sometime in September. But now Dixons Stores Group, the retail group which encompasses Dixons, PC World and Currys in the UK, has revealed the British street date and retail price for Sony’s new Honeycomb slab.

The Motorola Droid Bionic. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. And perhaps you’ve heard of the little — or not so little — video unboxing that’s going on as part of the Droid Does campaign. We were sent a case (along with BGR, Boing Boing and Joystiq) containing … well, containing a code to help unlock the Droid Does video … and containing something else.

Microsoft has released the Azure Toolkit for Android, providing an SDK and native libraries to support storage and authorization for its Windows Azure cloud-based development platform.  This will give Android developers a way to write applications that use the Windows Azure services, and will lead to more cross-platform apps that use the same data set.  Included with the toolkit is a sample application and unit tests, allowing developers to write and build everything using Eclipse with the standard Android SDK. 

HTC took to its Facebook page today to announce the good news that the ThunderBolt and Droid Incredible will finally be receiving their Android 2.3 Gingerbread updates in September. No word yet on exactly which version of Gingerbread they’re getting — we’re hoping it’s Android 2.3.4 — or whether video chat will work, or whether it means anything for unlocking their bootloaders. But this is certainly a day of celebration if you own either of these devices. You may now take 5 minutes for a Snoopy dance.

Sony Ericsson has unveiled the latest addition to its 2011 Xperia line — the Xperia Arc S, which builds on its previous flagship device by bumping its CPU speed from 1.0 to 1.4 GHz, a change SE says will deliver “up to 25% faster” entertainment experiences. The Arc S includes the same 8.1-megapixel Exmor R camera sensor found in the original Arc, and thanks to a software upgrade, the new model will also support 3D sweep panorama recording out of the box.

Back in March, AT&T announced their plan to acquire T-Mobile USA, which spurred vehement opposition. Dan Hesse, the CEO of Sprint, didn’t hesitate to let everyone know he thought it was a terrible idea. T-Mobile customers voiced their concerns, which stemmed from their dislike of AT&T. Well, T-Mobile customers and Hesse may have just gained a huge ally, as the US Department of Justice has filed court papers that oppose the merger.

AT&T has finally unwrapped HTC’s first Honeycomb tablet — the 10.1-inch Jetstream. This puppy’s been leaked every which way to Sunday, and specs are largely as we’ve previously seen.
