Who would have thought corporate types could be such teases? Phil McKinney, HP's CTO, certainly plays that part when he posts some interesting pictures on Twitter showing him playing with gadgets straight out of HP's R&D labs. Well when we say 'show' what we actually mean is that Mr McKinney can be seen holding something that is blacked out in the picture.
The blacked out devices are tablet sized and phone sized respectively. Oh and there is a blacked out device around his wrist. The former are perhaps not too surprising, an HP tablet running webOS has all but been confirmed and a new handset running webOS wouldn't be a major shock either. Still it's nice to see apparent confirmation of their existence, even if it is in a vague roundabout sort of way. What the wrist device is is open for speculation with a watch obviously being the number one suggestion. Presumably enhanced with Bluetooth, etc. Then again maybe it's something more exotic and futuristic?

An often critiqued area of Android has been its apps, and its games in particular. Not to put too fine a point on it Android doesn't have as good a selection of really top notch titles as Apple's iOS platform does. Well it looks as if Google are taking some formative steps to address this problem with the purchase of SocialDeck.
For those unfamiliar with the company SocialDeck create gaming platforms that work across different mobile OS environments e.g. Android, iOS, Blackberry OS, etc. Of course the mere act of purchasing this company doesn't reveal what Google's plans and vision for gaming on Android will be, but it does hint at better days to come for Android gamers.
The mobile space in general has been hotting up in terms of gaming with iOS now being recognised as a major force in mobile games, so much so that Ninetndo have acknowledged Apple as the 'enemy of the future'. Android has been lagging behind Apple in this regard, but with this recent acquisition and rumours circulating of a Sony Ericsson 'PlayStation Phone' Android does seem to be heading towards a better place in terms of gaming. Indeed Google have gone so far as to hire a 'gaming advocate' and there is talk of Android 3.0 supporting enhanced graphics performance for games.
Of course Google has a huge mountain to climb to catch up with, let alone overtake, Apple in the mobile gaming stakes. Then again at the pace Android is evolving and growing at that may not be a goal that is all that far off.
